A direct method to detect Vibrio cholerae in stool samples was developed by using a PCR procedure that did not require a DNA purification step. Dilution (1/100) of stool samples prevented inhibition of the reaction by contaminants, and two consecutive PCRs, the second one with a nested primer, achieved the desired sensitivity. Comparison of the results obtained from stool swab samples processed by the two-step PCR and by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using GM1 as the capture molecule showed that the former is more sensitive and gave positive results even when V. cholerae was not culturable or dead.
通过使用一种无需DNA纯化步骤的PCR程序,开发了一种直接检测粪便样本中霍乱弧菌的方法。粪便样本的稀释(1/100)可防止污染物对反应的抑制,连续进行两次PCR,第二次使用巢式引物,可达到所需的灵敏度。对通过两步PCR处理的粪便拭子样本和使用GM1作为捕获分子的酶联免疫吸附测定法所获得的结果进行比较,结果表明前者更灵敏,即使霍乱弧菌不可培养或已死亡时也能给出阳性结果。
