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...
متن کاملDetection of Leptospiraceae by amplification of 16S ribosomal DNA.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to detect Leptospiraceae. Primers were used to amplify 1 631 base-pair (bp) 5'-region of 16S rDNA. Representative strains from the species, Leptospira interrogans sensu stricto, L. borgpetersenii, L. noguchii, L. santarosai, L. weilii, L. inadai, L. meyeri and the single member strain of Leptonema were amplified. In contrast, strains representin...
متن کاملDetection of occult follicular lymphoma by specific DNA amplification.
To detect occult lymphoma, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to amplify joined bcl-2/JH DNA sequences at the juncture of the t(14:18) translocation in follicular lymphoma. Using the heat-stable DNA polymerase Taq and automated cycling of the reaction, we were able to detect as few as one to two copies of bcl-2/JH. Under these conditions, PCR proved to be at least 10,000-fol...
متن کاملImproved detection by DNA amplification of Trichomonas vaginalis in males.
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection that is highly prevalent worldwide and has been linked to preterm birth and human immunodeficiency virus acquisition. In females, trichomoniasis causes vaginitis, while in males, it is frequently asymptomatic but can be a cause of urethritis. Control efforts have been hampered by the lack of a sensitive diagnostic technique for this infection i...
متن کاملSpecies-specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes by DNA amplification.
The polymerase chain reaction was used to detect and specifically identify Listeria monocytogenes. A 174-bp region of the listeriolysin O gene was shown to be specifically amplified in L. monocytogenes but not in other species of Listeria or in a number of other gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Less than 50 organisms could routinely be detected by a procedure involving two rounds of 3...
