We report the concentration and purification of bacterial 16S rRNA by the use of a biotinylated DNA target-specific capture (TSC) probe. For both cultivated bacterial and urine specimens from urinary tract infection patients, TSC resulted in a 5- to 8-fold improvement in the sensitivity of bacterial detection in a 16S rRNA electrochemical sensor assay.
我们报告了通过使用生物素化的 DNA 靶标特异性捕获(TSC)探针来浓缩和纯化细菌 16S rRNA。对于培养的细菌和来自尿路感染患者的尿液标本,TSC 使 16S rRNA 电化学传感器检测中细菌检测的灵敏度提高了 5-8 倍。
