Two unusual occurrences of trichomoniasis: rapid species identification by PCR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
PCR analysis in two unusual occurrences of trichomoniasis, trichomonal empyema due to Trichomonas tenax and Trichomonas vaginalis in an infant urine sample, allowed us to obtain rapid and accurate trichomonad species identification. The weak sensitivity of wet preparations and the low viability of the flagellates can be remedied by the PCR method.

متن کاملSelective Amplification of prt, tyv and invA Genes by Multiplex PCR for Rapid Detection of Salmonella typhi
A multiplex PCR-based assay was developed for detection of Salmonella typhi and identification of other salmonella serotypes. Three primer-sets were selected from different genomic sequences, malo2-F/malo2-Ra primers from invasion gene, Parat-s/Parat-as as well as tyv-s/tyv-as primers from O-antigen gene cluster of the genus Salmonella. This method differentiated Salmonella spp., based on size ...
