Identification, Detection, and Enumeration of Human <i>Bifidobacterium</i> Species by PCR Targeting the Transaldolase Gene

Abstract excerpt

Methods that enabled the identification, detection, and enumeration of Bifidobacterium species by PCR targeting the transaldolase gene were tested. Bifidobacterial species isolated from the feces of human adults and babies were identified by PCR amplification of a 301-bp transaldolase gene sequence and comparison of the relative migrations of the DNA fragments in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)....
