Sensitive detection of multiple rotavirus genotypes with a single reverse transcription-real-time quantitative PCR assay.
Rotaviruses are one of the major causes of diarrhea in infants and children under 5 years old, especially affecting developing countries. In natural disasters, fecal matter and potable waters can mix, allowing low, yet infective, concentrations of rotavirus to be present in water supplies, constituting a risk for the population. Any of the most commonly detected rotavirus genotypes could origin...
متن کاملA sensitive and quantitative single-tube real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR for detection of enteroviral RNA.
BACKGROUND Enteroviruses (EVs) are significant human pathogens. Rapid and sensitive diagnostic techniques are desirable. OBJECTIVES To develop a quantitative single-tube real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for human enterovirus ribonucleic acid (RNA) (QPCR), with protection against amplimer contamination. STUDY DESIGN The method was evaluated with serial dilut...
متن کاملMultiplex real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay for determination of hepatitis C virus genotypes.
A variety of methods have been used to determine hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes. Because therapeutic decisions for chronic HCV-related hepatitis are made on the basis of genotype, it is important that genotype be accurately determined by clinical laboratories. Existing methods are often subjective, inaccurate, manual, time-consuming, and contamination prone. We therefore evaluated real-time ...
متن کاملRapid detection of enterovirus RNA in cerebrospinal fluid specimens with a novel single-tube real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay.
A single-tube real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay for enterovirus detection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was developed based on a fluorogenic probe and primers directed to highly conserved sequences in the 5' untranslated region of the enterovirus genome. Quantitative detection of enterovirus genome was demonstrated in a linear range spanning at least 5 logs. Endpoint titration e...
متن کاملA Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Genotyping of Rotavirus Strains
Background: Human rotavirus (HRV) is the causative agent of severe gastroenteritis in children and responsible for two million hospitalizations and more than a half-million deaths annually. Sequence characteristics of the gene segments encoding the VP7 and VP4 proteins are used for the genotype classification of rotavirus. A wide variety of molecular methods are available, mainly based on rever...
