Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causing agent of tuberculosis, comes second only after HIV on the list of infectious agents slaughtering many worldwide. Due to the limitations behind the conventional detection methods, it is therefore critical to develop

Direct amplification and differentiation of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica DNA from stool specimens [PDF]
, 1994 Discrimination of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica is of great clinical importance. A simple and rapid DNA extraction method that can be used directly with stool specimens was developed without the need for prior cultivation of the ...

Utility of PCR in the Diagnosis of Female Genital Tuberculosis [PDF]
Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2014 Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is one of the major causes of infertility among females. Since the infection is asymptomatic in most of the cases, it makes the clinical diagnosis quite difficult. We report a case of a 24 years old female with infertility that

A nested polymerase chain reaction for detection of Legionella pneumophila in clinical specimens [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1997 OBJECTIVE: Because presently used methods for diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia lack sufficient sensitivity and sometimes specificity and rapidity, the detection of Legionella spp. by amplification of nucleic acids might be valuable. However, performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on clinical samples such as sputum is difficult because of the ...

Rapid detection of Salmonella in field samples by nested polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1999 A simple and universal protocol for the rapid detection of Salmonella spp. in various samples using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed. The protocol takes advantage of the rapid purification and concentration of Salmonella by centrifugation onto a layer of 60% sucrose solution.

Diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection by Polymerase Chain Reaction
, 1992 Infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is routinely diagnosed by the identification of specific antibodies in serum. In some cases, as in primary infection, HIV can be detected prior to seroconversion by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

Identification of human papillomavirus DNA in cutaneous lesions of Cowden syndrome [PDF]
, 2003 Background: Cowden syndrome (CS) or multiple hamartoma syndrome is a cancer-associated genodermatosis inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. One of the diagnostic criteria is facial papules which are felt to be trichilemmomas, benign hair follicle ...

Detection of Legionella pneumophila Using a Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1992 We evaluated the usefulness of a Nested PCR method for detecting Legionella pneumophila. This method resulted in L. pneumophila specific detection as far as we evaluated. The first and second step PCR achieved the sensitivity as small as 10 pg and 10 fg of the target DNA, respectively.
