A rapid assay for eubacterial species identification is described using high-resolution melt analysis to characterize PCR products. Unique melt profiles generated from multiple hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene for 100 clinically relevant bacterial pathogens, including category A and B biothreat agents and their surrogates, allowed highly specific species identification.
本文描述了一种用于真细菌物种鉴定的快速检测方法,该方法利用高分辨率熔解分析来表征PCR产物。从100种临床相关细菌病原体的16S rRNA基因的多个高变区生成的独特熔解曲线,包括A类和B类生物威胁因子及其替代物,能够实现高度特异性的物种鉴定。
