Identification of medically important pathogenic fungi by reference strand-mediated conformational analysis (RSCA).
This report describes the application of reference strand-mediated conformational analysis (RSCA), a novel DNA typing technique, for the identification of clinically significant fungal pathogens. RSCA is a heteroduplex-based conformational method which relies on detecting differences in the DNA conformation of heteroduplexes generated in this study by the annealing of different fungal 18S rRNA ...
متن کاملPCR and single-strand conformational polymorphism for recognition of medically important opportunistic fungi.
The application of PCR technology to molecular diagnostics holds great promise for the early identification of medically important pathogens. PCR has been shown to be useful for the detection of the presence of fungal DNA in both laboratory and clinical samples. Considerable interest has been focused on the utility of selecting universal primers, those that recognize constant regions among most...
متن کاملVirulence factors of medically important fungi.
Human fungal pathogens have become an increasingly important medical problem with the explosion in the number of immunocompromised patients as a result of cancer, steroid therapy, chemotherapy, and AIDS. Additionally, the globalization of travel and expansion of humankind into previously undisturbed habitats have led to the reemergence of old fungi and new exposure to previously undescribed fun...
متن کاملsingle strand conformation polymorphism analysis of pcr-amplified rdna to differentiate medically important aspergillus species
background: aspergillus species are associated with allergic bronchopulmonary disease, mycotic keratitis, otomycosis, nasal sinusitis and invasive infection. in this study, we developed a pcr-single strand confomational polymorphism method to identify the most common aspergillus species and we showed some advantages of this method comparing a pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism with ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution characterization of the canine DLA-DRB1 locus using reference strand-mediated conformational analysis.
Several methods exist for genotyping class II DLA gene polymorphisms in the dog. The most accurate method is sequence-based typing, which involves direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products. However, this method is expensive and unsuitable for large-scale studies. Recently, reference strand-mediated conformation analysis (RSCA) has been shown to be effective for characterizing majo...
