Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Spiked Clinical Samples by Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Isothermal nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) was applied to the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. M. pneumoniae RNA prepared from a plasmid construct was used to assess the sensitivity of the assay, and an internal control for the detection of inhibitors was constructed. The sensitivity of the NASBA assay was 10 molecules of wild-type M. pneumoniae RNA generated in vitro and 5 color-changing...
