Single-tube nested PCR in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. [PDF]
AIMS: To evaluate the usefulness of a single-tube nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in the diagnosis of tuberculosis in 1497 pulmonary and 536 extrapulmonary specimens. METHODS: A single-tube nested PCR, utilising two sets of primers with different melting temperatures (88 degrees C for external primers; 70 degrees C for internal primers) to

Nested PCR for the detection of Candidatus arthromitus in fish [PDF]
Rainbow trout gastroenteritis has been related to the accumulation of segmented filamentous bacteria in the digestive tract of fish, which presents lethargy, reduced appetite and accumulation of mucoid faeces. Some authors associate the comparison of illness with the presence of viable filaments, which produce and release strings of endospores in the ...

Nested real-time PCR for hepatitis A detection [PDF]
The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is one of the most important human foodborne pathogens causing a number of worldwide outbreaks each year. The detection of HAV in food samples remains a complex issue, because commonly used detection tools, such as conventional or even real-time PCR assays, are often unable to detect HAV with sufficient sensitivity. The aims
