New Diagnostic Real-Time PCR for Specific Detection of Mycoplasma hominis DNA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycoplasma hominis is a fastidious micro-organism causing genital and extragenital infections. We developed a specific real-time PCR that exhibits high sensitivity and low intrarun and interrun variabilities. When applied to clinical samples, this quantitative PCR allowed to confirm the role of M. hominis in three patients with severe extragenital infections.

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 کاملCOMPARISON OF FOUR PCR TESTS FOR THE DETECTION OF MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE
Recently PCR is being used more frequently as a diagnostic method to detect M. pneumoniae. We used primer pairs reported by Van Kuppeveld,13 Leng,5 Lunerberg,7 an Bernet' targeting 16s rRNA, PI protein, tuf genes. and a short DNA equence (MP5) to evaluate the sensitivity among different PCRs. Reoptimization experiments showed that tuf PCR had the highest sensitivity amongst these four PCRs, det...

Mycoplasmas are very small bacteria lacking cell walls that belong to various genera within the class Mollicutes, and also the smallest organisms that can live independently. They are able to cause serious and chronic disease because of some unique characteristics. Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is an important avian pathogen causing significant economical losses within the poultry industry. The...
