Rapid and specific identification of Yersinia pestis by using a nested polymerase chain reaction procedure

Rapid and specific identification of Yersinia pestis by using a nested polymerase chain reaction procedure.

We developed a 4-h nested polymerase chain reaction assay that detected a region of the plasminogen activator gene of Yersinia pestis in 100% of 43 Y. pestis strains isolated from humans, rats, and fleas yet was unreactive with the closely related species Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

simultaneous and rapid detection of salmonella typhi, bacillus anthracis, and yersinia pestis by using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr)

conclusion the designed methods are accurate, rapid, and inexpensive to find and differentiate these bacteria from similar bacteria. they can be applied for rapid diagnosis of these agents in different specimens, and bioterrorism cases. background salmonella typhi, bacillus anthracis, and yersinia pestis are some serious human pathogens, which their early diagnosis is of great importance. salmo...

Simultaneous and Rapid Detection of Salmonella typhi, Bacillus anthracis, and Yersinia pestis by Using Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

BACKGROUND Salmonella typhi, Bacillus anthracis, and Yersinia pestis are some serious human pathogens, which their early diagnosis is of great importance. Salmonella typhi, Bacillus anthracis, and Yersinia pestis cause typhoid fever, anthrax, and plague respectively. These bacteria can be used to make biologic weapons. OBJECTIVES In this study, we designed a new and rapid diagnostic method ba...

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...
