Detection of invasive infection caused byFusarium solaniand non-Fusarium solanispecies using a duplex quantitative PCR-based assay in a murine model of fusariosis
1 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
A duplex Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for detecting DNA of members of the genus Fusarium has been developed and validated by using two mouse models of invasive infection. The duplex RT-PCR technique employed two specific molecular beacon probes targeting a highly conserved region of the fungal rDNA gene. This technique showed a detection limit of 10 fg DNA per μl of sample and a specificity of 100%. The...
