Technical challenges regarding the use of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens for the detection of bacterial alterations in colorectal cancer
29 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues may provide an exciting resource to study microbial associations in human disease, but the use of these low biomass specimens remains challenging. We aimed to reduce unintentional bacterial interference in molecular analysis of FFPE tissues and investigated the feasibility of conducting quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and 16S rRNA amplicon...
