background aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and tannerella forsythensis are two major pathogens in destructive periodontal disease in humans. the detection of these bacteria is needed for diagnosis and management of the mentioned diseases. objectives we aimed to develop and compare improved multiplex conventional and sybr green real time pcr assays for a specific diagnosis of the organisms...

Various methods for the recovery and detection of HAV have been suggested, and molecular tests have recently provided an effective replacement for the traditional methods. Real-time RT-PCR technology offers many advantages over conventional RT-PCR in terms of rapidity and specificity. Most procedures are based on the TaqMan chemistry, but some researchers have used the SYBR Green I approach, wh...

Here, we present a label-free, simple and signal-on architecture for fluorescent alkaline phosphatase (ALP) biosensor utilizing an SYBR Green I (SG) assisted fluorescence amplification method. The strategy relies on the fact that ALP provides a significant barrier to lambda exonuclease (λ exo) activity by a dephosphorylating DNA hairpin probe (HP), and SG shows a considerable fluorescence inten...

The flora on the surface of smear-ripened cheeses is composed of numerous species of bacteria and yeasts that contribute to the production of the desired organoleptic properties. Due to the absence of selective media, it is very difficult to quantify cheese surface bacteria, and, consequently, the ecology of the cheese surface microflora has not been extensively investigated. We developed a SYB...

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), also known as quantitative PCR, is used to determine relative gene expression or to quantify exact levels of mRNA in cells or tissues. Before the advent of real-time PCR, the major difficulty associated with traditional quantitative or semiquantitative PCR was to ensure that PCR reactions were quantified within the exponential phase of amplif...
