To enhance the sensitivity of the available real-time PCR systems for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we established a method to amplify copies of the repetitive element repMp1. In a study of respiratory tract samples, we found that, compared to the use of the conserved part of the P1 adhesin gene as a monocopy target, the use of the repMp1-PCR showed an increase in the detected genome equivalents by a factor of 22.
为提高现有实时PCR系统检测肺炎支原体的灵敏度,我们建立了一种扩增重复元件repMp1拷贝的方法。在一项呼吸道样本研究中,我们发现,与使用P1黏附素基因的保守部分作为单拷贝靶标相比,使用repMp1-PCR检测到的基因组当量增加了22倍。
