Rapid screening for human-pathogenic Mucorales using rolling circle amplification.
Mucormycosis has emerged as a relatively common severe mycosis in patients with haematological and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Source of transmission is from unidentified sources in the environment. Early diagnosis of infection and its source of contamination are paramount for rapid and appropriate therapy. In this study, rolling circle amplification (RCA) is introduced as a sensitive...
متن کاملRapid Identification of Emerging Human-Pathogenic Sporothrix Species with Rolling Circle Amplification
Sporothrix infections are emerging as an important human and animal threat among otherwise healthy patients, especially in Brazil and China. Correct identification of sporotrichosis agents is beneficial for epidemiological surveillance, enabling implementation of adequate public-health policies and guiding antifungal therapy. In areas of limited resources where sporotrichosis is endemic, high-t...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Rolling Circle Amplification and Rolling Circle Transcription.
Nucleic acid amplification is a hugely important technology for biology and medicine. While the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been highly useful and effective, its reliance on heating and cooling cycles places some constraints on its utility. For example, the heating step of PCR can destroy biological molecules under investigation and heat/cool cycles are not applicable in living systems....
متن کاملRapid Identification of Bio-Molecules Applied for Detection of Biosecurity Agents Using Rolling Circle Amplification
Detection and identification of pathogens in environmental samples for biosecurity applications are challenging due to the strict requirements on specificity, sensitivity and time. We have developed a concept for quick, specific and sensitive pathogen identification in environmental samples. Target identification is realized by padlock- and proximity probing, and reacted probes are amplified by...
متن کاملCoupled rolling circle amplification loop-mediated amplification for rapid detection of short DNA sequences.
Circularizable oligonucleotide probes can detect short DNA sequences with single-base resolution at the site of ligation and can be amplified by rolling circle amplification (RCA) using strand displacing polymerases. A secondary amplification scheme was developed that uses the loop-mediated amplification reaction concurrent with RCA to achieve rapid signal development from the starting circular...
