Efficient Detection of Pathogenic Leptospires Using 16S Ribosomal RNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Pathogenic Leptospira species cause a prevalent yet neglected zoonotic disease with mild to life-threatening complications in a variety of susceptible animals and humans. Diagnosis of leptospirosis, which primarily relies on antiquated serotyping methods,

Choice of 16S Ribosomal RNA Primers Impacts Male Urinary Microbiota Profiling
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Accessibility to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has enabled the profiling of microbial communities living in distinct habitats. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing is widely used for microbiota profiling with NGS technologies.

Optimizing PCR primers targeting the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background Targeted amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene is one of the key tools for studying microbial diversity. The accuracy of this approach strongly depends on the choice of primer pairs and, in particular, on the balance between ...

Choice of 16S ribosomal RNA primers affects the microbiome analysis in chicken ceca
Scientific Reports, 2021 We evaluated the effect of applying different sets of 16S rRNA primers on bacterial composition, diversity, and predicted function in chicken ceca. Cecal contents from Ross 708 birds at 1, 3, and 5 weeks of age were collected for DNA isolation.

Updating the 97% identity threshold for 16S ribosomal RNA OTUs [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2017 AbstractThe 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is widely used to survey microbial communities. Sequences are often clustered into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) as proxies for species. The canonical clustering threshold is 97% identity, which was proposed in 1994 when few 16S rRNA sequences were available, motivating a reassessment on current data ...

Next-generation Sequencing of 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Amplicons [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2014 One of the major questions in microbial ecology is “who is there?” This question can be answered using various tools, but one of the long-lasting gold standards is to sequence 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicons generated by domain-level PCR ...

A systematic algorithm using 16S ribosomal RNA for accurate diagnosis of pneumonia pathogens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOver half of community-acquired pneumonia cases are caused by a few dozen bacterial species, and accurate identification of these pathogens is essential for effective treatment. In this study, we developed a reliable diagnostic method using 16S ribosomal
