A multiplexed microfluidic PCR assay for sensitive and specific point-of-care detection of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Dne hundred and eighty-two food samples, including minced meat (n=32), frozen rolls (n=37), boiled meat (n=34), meat ball (n=30), vacuum-packed meat (n=26) and jerky (n=23)

We performed MAP DNA detection in the blood of controls and CD patients follo- wed at Hospital de São João, by IS 900 -based nested PCR.. MAP detection in CD patients will allow us

The rate of naturally infected sandflies in endemic areas and the correct identification of the infecting Leishmania in a determined phlebotomine species are of prime importance

The results indicated that the sensitiv- ity and speciicity in lesion detection were 100% for both protocols, but the detection of loci number of multilocular lesions and the

Based on our analysis, we could determine that in Buriticupu, the goals that were originally set in the control program (a detection rate of <100 cases per 100,000 population and

In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the OTsn-PCR assay described in this study has a limit of detection identical to or better than the conventional nested and semi-nested

Comparison of a commercial real-time PCR assay for tcdB detection to a cell culture cytotoxicity assay and toxigenic culture for direct detection of toxin-producing

show that the duplex endpoint PCR assay is rapid, as well as highly speciic and sensitive for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of Leptospira strains... - PCR
