Multiplex PCR technologies progressively find their way in clinical microbiology. This technique allows the simultaneous amplification of multiple DNA targets in a single test run for the identification of pathogens up to the species level. Various pathogens of infectious diseases can be detected by a symptom-oriented approach clearly and quickly with high reliability. Essentially multiplex PCR panels are available for clarification of gastrointestinal, respiratory, sexually transmitted infections and meningitis. Today's offer from industry, university hospitals and large private laboratories of Switzerland is tabulated and commented.
多重PCR技术在临床微生物学中逐渐得到应用。该技术能够在一次检测中同时扩增多个DNA靶点，以鉴定病原体至种的水平。通过以症状为导向的方法，可以清晰、快速且高度可靠地检测出各种传染病病原体。基本上，多重PCR检测板可用于明确胃肠道、呼吸道、性传播感染及脑膜炎的病原体。本文列出并评论了瑞士工业界、大学医院和大型私人实验室目前提供的产品。
