Abstract excerpt
A beacon probe was designed to detect one of the two documented single nucleotide changes in IS481 target allele of Bordetella holmesii genome as compared to Bordetella pertussis. PCR amplified product targeting a region of IS481 in presence of the probe was subjected to a post-PCR hybridization and melting cycle. Hybrid of the probe with B. pertussis specific target had a different thermal stability than that...
