Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA by the polymerase chain reaction.
DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect DNA of the Lyme disease spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi. Primers that specify the amplification of a 145 basepair DNA fragment of the OspA gene of B. burgdorferi were used. The amplification product was detected by gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining or by hybridization to a radiolabelled oligonucleotide ...
متن کاملDetection of Borrelia burgdorferi using the polymerase chain reaction.
Segments of the ospA gene of Borrelia burgdorferi were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Oligonucleotide primers used in the reaction flank a 309-base-pair segment within the ospA gene. After 35 cycles of amplification, the product could be detected by agarose gel electrophoresis or dot hybridization with a 32P-labeled probe. This segment was amplified in all strains of B. burgd...
متن کاملRapid Detection of Campylobacter jejuni by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Evaluation of its Sensitivity and Specificity
Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...
متن کاملDetection of Borrelia burgdorferi in patients with Lyme disease by the polymerase chain reaction.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, was detected in patients' serum by DNA amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). B burgdorferi was pelleted from serum samples by centrifugation (10,000 x g for 10 minutes) and lysed by treatment with ammonium hydroxide (100 degrees C for 15 minutes). Two pairs of "nested" PCR primers complementary to the gene encoding a ...
متن کاملRAPID DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
