Rapid quantitative detection of chytridiomycosis (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) in amphibian samples using real-time Taqman PCR assay.
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a major pathogen of frogs worldwide, associated with declines in amphibian populations. Diagnosis of chytridiomycosis to date has largely relied upon histological and immunohistochemical examination of toe clips. This technique is invasive and insensitive particularly at early stages of infection when treatment may be possible. We have developed a real-time PCR...
متن کاملAsymmetric real-time PCR and multiplex melting curve analysis with TaqMan probes for detecting PIK3CA mutations
The data in this article are related to the research article entitled "Optimization of melting analysis with TaqMan probes for detection of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations" Botezatu et al. [1]. Somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene ("hot spots" in exons 9 and 20) are found in many human cancers, and their presence can determine prognosis and a treatment strategy. An effective method of mutation s...
متن کاملMultiplex Taqman Real-Time Pcr For Detecting Aeromonas Hydrophila, A. Veronii and A. Schubertii
In this study, pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila, A. veronii, and A. schubertii from fish were detected by multiplex TaqMan real-time PCR assay. The assay utilized three pairs of specific primers and three corresponding TaqMan probes designed to detect the aerolysin gene in A. hydrophila, the aerolysin gene in A. veronii, and the gyrB gene in A. schubertii. The specificity of the probe and primer...
متن کاملDevelopment of TaqMan Duplex Real-time PCR for Simultaneous Detection of Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium
Background and Objective: Sexually infections transmitted by bacteria are one of thetherapeutic and social problemsworldwide. The Real-time PCR assay is one of the most sensitive diagnostic and screening methods for these infections. The purpose of this study wassimultaneous detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitaliumusing the TaqMan duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. ...
متن کاملThe Real-Time TaqMan PCR and Applications in Veterinary Medicine
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), first described in 1985, is a highly sensitive and specific technique used for the detection of nucleic acids [55]. The inventor of this technology earned a Nobel prize for his achievement [43,44], which has revolutionised research and diagnostic possibilities. Qualitative PCR is a well established and straightforward technology, but quantification of specif...
