Use of Touch-Down Polymerase Chain Reaction to Enhance the Sensitivity of Mycobacterium Bovis Detection
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
The confirmatory diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in animal samples is carried out by culture in Stonebrink media. However, culture is very slow because of the extremely long duplication time of the bacillus and difficult because of the scarcity of bacilli in diagnostic samples. This study describes the development of a single-tube touch-down polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol for the detection...
