Confirmation of PCR (Polymerized Chain Reaction) amplification of extracted DNA

SPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...

Effect of Lowering PCR Reaction Volumes and Increasing the Speed of DNA Amplification on the Sensitivity of PCR

ABSTRACT Recently, PCR is being reported more frequently with satisfactory results on the diagnosis of clinical infections. Widespread availability of PCR promises a sensitive and specific alternative, to traditional methods, but these benefits must be balanced against cost. Protocols using small volumes have described where the reaction taken place in capillary tubes, and small volumes work...

Detection of single Dactylogyrus spp. in DNA extracted from infected gill tissue of fishes using Polymerase Chain Reaction

Dactylogyrus spp. are monogenean worms found mostly as ectoparasites on the gills of several fish species, including carp and goldfish. These parasites are commonly detected by microscopic analysis of the gill lamellae, but this is time-consuming and technically difficult. In contrast to this conventional method, molecular techniques provide specific, sensitive and safe detection of parasites. ...
