Identification of <i>Balamuthia mandrillaris</i> by PCR Assay Using the Mitochondrial 16S rRNA Gene as a Target

1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

Balamuthia mandrillaris is an opportunistic pathogen that causes granulomatous amebic meningoencephalitis in animals, including humans. Based on sequence analysis of mitochondrial small-subunit-rRNA genes, we developed primers that amplify a Balamuthia-specific PCR product. These primers will be useful for retrospective analyses of fixed tissues and possible identification of Balamuthia in vivo.
