Simple colorimetric microtiter plate hybridization assay for detection of amplified Mycobacterium leprae DNA.
The detection of amplified products resulting from polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) remains a complicated process. To simplify the detection procedures, we developed a colorimetric microtiter plate hybridization assay for the specific detection of 5'-biotinylated PCR fragments of Mycobacterium leprae DNA. For this assay, an M. leprae DNA capture probe was made and immobilized on the wells of a...
متن کاملColorimetric microwell plate reverse-hybridization assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection.
Direct smear examination using Ziehl-Neelsen staining for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) diagnosis is inexpensive and easy to use, but has the major limitation of low sensitivity. Rapid molecular methods are becoming more widely available in centralized laboratories, but they depend on timely reporting of results and strict quality assurance obtainable only from costly commercial kits available i...
متن کاملResazurin microtiter assay plate: simple and inexpensive method for detection of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A method for detecting multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using a reduction of resazurin is described. Eighty clinical isolates were evaluated against isoniazid and rifampin; results at 7 days were compared with those of the proportion method. Specificity and sensitivity were excellent. The method is simple, inexpensive, and rapid and might be used with other antituberculosis drugs.
متن کاملColorimetric solid-phase capture hybridization assay for detection of amplified Borrelia burgdorferi DNA.
To simplify detection procedures of DNA fragments resulting from PCR, we developed a colorimetric microplate hybridization assay. This format was used for the identification of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the causal agent of Lyme disease. The system relied on the use of a specific capture probe covalently linked to polystyrene plates and a specific polybiotinylated detection probe. DNA fra...
متن کاملSimple microplate hybridization assay for detection of amplified products of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
We describe a simple microplate hybridization assay for the rapid detection of the IS6110 PCR products of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from clinical cultures and from sputum specimens. The assay is based on the specific detection with a fluorescein-labeled detection probe of biotinylated PCR products which are captured on avidin coated microplate. Hybridized products with fluorescein were identif...
