Application of Reverse Transcriptase –PCR (RT-PCR) for rapid detection of viable Escherichia coli in drinking water samples
BACKGROUND Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is preferred to other methods for detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water in terms of speed, accuracy and efficiency. False positive result is considered as the major disadvantages of PCR. For this reason, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) can be used to solve this problem. The aim of present study was to determine the effi...
متن کاملDetection of Viable But Non-Culturable State of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Using Reverse Transcription PCR
Background and Aims: Many bacteria including Escherichia coli may enter into a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state under unfavorable stresses, which are unable to be detected by culture-based methods. In this study, the use of Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for detection of VBNC state of E. coli O157:H7 was investigated. Materials and Methods: Escherichia. coli O157:H7 was inoculated i...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR).
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a well-established and powerful molecular technique for studying ribonucleic acids. It is used in medical diagnostics for detecting viral RNA, in hematology and oncology for detecting chimeric transcripts of rearranged genes (1), and in the broad area of research applications in gene expression studies. Since its introduction (...
متن کاملRapid and sensitive detection of MS2 coliphages in wastewater samples by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR.
Coliphage MS2 is used in place of pathogens in many studies and is considered one of the indicators of pathogenetic viruses in wastewater. We developed a quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay to quantify MS2 coliphages in treated wastewater samples. The format used was SYBR Green. The assay included an internal control to disclose the presence of PCR-produ...
