Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) is a technique used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on the recognition of restriction sites by enzymes. RFLP-PCR an easy-to-perform and inexpensive tool for initial analysis SNPs potentially associated with some monogenic diseases, as well in genotyping, genetic mapping, lineage screening, for...

background: urinary tract infections are one of the most frequent health problems and uropathogenic escherichia coli is the major pathogen resulting utis. the severity of utis is caused by the expression of a large range of virulence factors.in this study, we evaluated the allelic frequency fimh gene, in upecs isolated from patients with utis. this study also aimed to determine the roles of c64...

A total of 129 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis representing 91 patients were typed by a combination of direct-repeat (DR)-based spoligotyping and an inter-IS6110-PGRS (polymorphic GC-rich region)-PCR, also designated double-repetitive-element PCR (DRE-PCR). During the first phase of this investigation, 72 clinical strains representing 52 patients were initially typed by IS6110-r...

Background: Candida albicans is the predominant yeast reported from human infection. Non-albicans species have been recently developed as medically vital fungi. Therefore, it essential to detect and identify pathogens at level prescribe appropriate treatment. Methods: This study assessed two complementary methods, including real-time polymerase chain reaction-high resolution melt (PCR-HRM) reac...

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the group/subgroup phytoplasma agent in peppers showing symptoms. Material and Methods: In study, plants collected from Iğdır province 2020 were analyzed using direct nested PCR tests, BLASTn, iphyClassifier, Mega 7, pDRAW32 programs used. Results: tests performed, approximately 1.2 kb DNA fragments specific obtained. 16S rRNA nucleotide...

Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, a causative agent of otitis media, sinusitis, and exacerbation of bronchitis, has acquired widespread ability to produce beta-lactamase and can be nosocomially transmitted. The typing methods used in epidemiological analyses of M. catarrhalis are not optimal for genetic analyses. Two methods, a multiple-locus Southern blot (SB) method and a single-locus PCR-...

Background and Purpose: The epidemiological alteration in the distribution of Candida species, as well as the significantly increasing trend of either intrinsic or acquired resistance of some of these fungi highlights the need for a reliable method for the identification of the species. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the methods facilitating the quick and precise identification of Ca...

BACKGROUND Tinea cruris is the second most common dermatophytosis in the world and the most common in Indonesia. The conventional laboratory tests for dermatophyte infection are slow and less specific. Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is a PCR method with the addition of enzyme after amplification, therefore enabling for more specific results. AIM ...

In order to detect several new HLA-A class I alleles that have been described since 1998, the original PCR-RFLP method developed to identify the 78 alleles recognized at that time at high resolution level was adapted by us for low and medium resolution levels using a nested PCR-RFLP approach. The results obtained from blood samples of 23 subjects using both the PCR-RFLP method and a commercial ...

Aim: Chital and sambar are the common wild small herbivores, which are vulnerable to poaching for their meat. Many times poachers claim the wild meat to be that of goat or sheep. Hence, authentic evidences are required to stop such wildlife crime. The present investigation was carried out to study the species specific PCR-RFLP patterns for meat identification of chital and sambar and then diffe...
