DETECTION OF<i>GIARDIA LAMBLIA, CRYPTOSPORIDIUM</i>SPP. AND<i>ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA</i>IN CLINICAL STOOL SAMPLES BY USING MULTIPLEX REAL-TIME PCR AFTER AUTOMATED DNA ISOLATION

Abstract excerpt

Diagnosis of intestinal parasites in stool samples is generally still carried out by microscopy; however, this technique is known to suffer from a low sensitivity and is unable to discriminate between certain protozoa. In order to overcome these limitations, a real-time multiplex PCR was evaluated as an alternative approach for diagnosing Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium spp. and Entamoeba histolytica in stool...
