Identification of Host-Specific Bacteroidales 16S rDNA Sequences from Human Sewage and Ruminant Feces [PDF]
, 2011 The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order

Microvariation Artifacts Introduced by PCR and Cloning of Closely Related 16S rRNA Gene Sequences [PDF]
, 2001 A defined template mixture of seven closely related 16S-rDNA clones was used in a PCR-cloning experiment to assess and track sources of artifactual sequence variation in 16S rDNA clone libraries. At least 14% of the recovered clones contained aberrations.

Chlamydia psittaci infection in canaries heavily infested by Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
, 2011 Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some ...

Molecular variations in Lenzites species collected from Nigeria and other parts of the world using Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) regions of Ribosomal RNA [PDF]
Microbial Biosystems Journal, 2018 The phylogeny of six specimens of Lenzites species collected from Akure Nigeria was studied using molecular data obtained by sequencing the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) regions of ribosomal RNA using universal primers (ITS4 and ITS5).

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
, 2014 Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...
