PCR detection of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii in stool samples from Sydney, Australia.
This study investigated the presence of Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii in stool samples from a patient population in Sydney, Australia. Stool samples were tested by microscopy and PCR. Five patients were found with E. histolytica infections, while E. dispar and E. moshkovskii were observed in 63 (70.8%) and 55 (61.8%) patients, respectively, by PCR. This is t...
متن کاملDetection of Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar in stool specimens by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Entamoeba histolytica actually comprises two genetically distinct but morphologically indistinguishable species. E. histolytica can cause invasive intestinal and extra intestinal disease, while E. dispar cannot. Identification and differentiation of E. dispar and E. histolytica in stool sample by microscopy is imprecise. Several weeks of culture and isoenzyme analysis are required to differenti...
متن کاملPRELIMINARY COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA AND ENTAMOEBA DISPAR BY PCR TECHNIQUE IN IRAN
It has been suggested that two distinct species exist within what was originally known as Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar. These are Entamoeba dispar for the nonpathogenic and E. histolytica for the pathogenic fonn. Differentiation of these two organisms is of great clinical importance since they are morphologically indistinguishable and both fonns can infect the human intestinal cavity...
متن کاملapplication of multiplex pcr for detection and differentiation of entamoeba histolytica, entamoeba dispar and entamoeba moshkovskii.
background: entamoeba moshkovskii and e. dispar are impossible to differentiate microscopically from the pathogenic species e. histolytica . multiplex polymerase chain reaction (multiplex pcr) is a widespread molecular biology technique for amplification of multiple targets in a single pcr experiment. methods: for detection and differentiation of the three-microscopy indistinguishable entamoeba...
متن کاملFreezing of stool samples improves real-time PCR detection of Entamoeba dispar and Entamoeba histolytica.
PCR as a tool for intestinal parasite diagnosis is expanding since differentiation between Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar cysts is impossible with microscopy. Since pre-analytical factors influence DNA detection, we evaluated with real-time PCR the influence of storage time and temperature. We demonstrated an improved DNA detection in frozen stool samples.
