Detection and identification of mycobacteria by amplification of the internal transcribed spacer regions with genus- and species-specific PCR primers.
We evaluated the usefulness of PCR assays that target the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for identifying mycobacteria at the species level. The conservative and species-specific ITS sequences of 33 species of mycobacteria were analyzed in a multialignment analysis. One pair of panmycobacterial primers and seven pairs of mycobacterial species-specific primers were designed. All PCRs we...
متن کاملGenus- and species-specific PCR primers for the detection and identification of bifidobacteria.
16SrDNA-targeted genus- and species-specific PCR primers have been developed and used for the identification and detection of bifidobacteria. These primers cover all of the described species that inhabit the human gut, or occur in dairy products. Identification of cultured bifidobacteria using PCR primer pairs is rapid and accurate, being based on nucleic acid sequences. Detection of bifidobact...
متن کاملSelecting Optimal Oligonucleotide Primers for Multiplex PCR
We investigate the problem of designing efficient multiplex PCR for medical applications. We show that the problem is NP-complete by transformation to the Multiple Choice Matching problem and give an efficient approximation algorithm. We developed this algorithm in a computer program that predicts which genomic regions may be simultaneously amplified by PCR. Practical use of the software shows ...
متن کاملRUCS: rapid identification of PCR primers for unique core sequences
Motivation Designing PCR primers to target a specific selection of whole genome sequenced strains can be a long, arduous and sometimes impractical task. Such tasks would benefit greatly from an automated tool to both identify unique targets, and to validate the vast number of potential primer pairs for the targets in silico. Results Here we present RUCS, a program that will find PCR primer pa...
متن کاملSpecific oligonucleotide primers for detection of endoglucanase positive Bacillus subtilis by PCR
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for discrimination of Bacillus subtilis from other members of B. subtilis group as well as rapid identification from environmental samples. Primers ENIF and EN1R from endoglucanase gene were used to amplify a1311 bp DNA fragment. The specificity of the primers was tested with seven reference strains and 28 locally isolated strains of endoglu...
