Rapid detection of Shigella species in environmental sewage by an immunocapture PCR with universal primers.
In the present study, we developed a quick, highly specific method for detection of Shigella species by combining immunocapturing of the bacteria and a universal primer PCR. The method drastically enhances test sensitivity, and it can be used not only for identification of Shigella species in the environment but also for rapid detection of other pathogens.
متن کاملDistribution of Enterococcal Species and Detection of Vancomycin Resistance Genes by Multiplex PCR in Tehran Sewage
Enterococci are important because of their role as the leading cause of nosocomial infections which have a significant role in the dissemination and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes. Methods: In this study, we determined the distribution of enterococcal species in the sewage treatment plants in Iran. Furthermore, we improved a rapid and specific PCR method using primers (sodA and ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of an Immunocapture PCR Diagnostic Assay Based on the Monoclonal Antibody for the Detection of Shigella
Background: Shigella is among the most important human pathogenic microorganisms, infecting both humans and nonhuman and causing clinically severe diarrhea. Shigella must be enriched before detection, which is time-consuming.Objectives: To develop a sensitive, rapid, and specifc method for Shigella detection.Materials and Methods: S...
متن کاملDETECTION OF BACTERIA BY AMPLIFYING THE 16S rRNA GENE WITH UNIVERSAL PRIMERS AND RFLP
Background: There is a conserved portion in the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria which can be amplified by the universal PCR method. This fragment is 996 bp in length. In this method, only one set of universal primers is used for the amplification of the conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene, in common bacterial pathogens. Therefore, using the universal PCR method, these bacteria are detectable on...
متن کاملRapid and Concurrent Detection of Listeria Species by Multiplex Pcr
Listeria sps are ubiquitous in nature. Infection due to L. monocytogenes causes illness in animals and humans worldwide. Aim of the present study was to standardize a multiplex PCR for the identification and differentiation of important Listeria species, in particular, Listeria monocytogenes and to detect toxigenic potential of L. monocytogenes. Employing primers for truncated regions of seven ...
