Multiplex PCR for identification of Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni from pure cultures and directly on stool samples
28 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
A multiplex-PCR method, specifically designed for application in routine diagnostic laboratories, was developed for the detection of Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni. Primers were directed towards the following loci: the hippuricase gene (hipO) characteristic of C. jejuni, a sequence partly covering an aspartokinase gene characteristic of C. coli, and a universal 16S rDNA gene sequence serving as an...
