چکیده
Chapter abstracts How to Order Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) is a powerful and rapid technique for nucleic acid amplification. The accumulation of specific products in a reaction is monitored continuously during cycling. This is usually achieved by monitoring changes in fluorescence within the PCR tube. This essential manual presents a comprehensive guide to the most appropriate and up-to-date technologies and applications as well as providing an overview of the theory of this important technique. Written by recognized experts in the field this timely and authoritative volume is an essential requirement for all laboratories using PCR. Topics covered include: Real-time PCR instruments and probe chemistries, setup , controls and validation, quantitative real-time PCR, analysis of mRNA expression, mutation detection, NASBA, application in clinical microbiology and diagnosis of infection.

متن کاملDetection of Nocardia Asteroides Complex in Clinical Isolates by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background and Aims: Nocardia asteroides complex is the most common cause of infectious diseases due to nocardiosis. Interspecies differentiation of Nocardia genera is essential for prognosis and timely proper treatment, as well as for epidemiological studies. Since each genus has its own antibiotic resistance, precise careful diagnosis is of prime importance. As compared to biochemical and phe...
