ABSTRACT
Objective To detect of clostridium perfringens by qPCR in mouse models and a clinical case in order to offer early diagnosis.Methods 40 Kunming mice were randomly grouped and intramuscular injected clostridium perfringens type A in leg 0.1 ml(3.5 × 109cfu/ml or 3.5 × 108cfu/ml or 3.5× 107cfu/ml,diluted with saline),while control group was injected with 9% sodium chloride 0.1ml.The mouse models and a clinical case were detected by qPCR.Results The death rate of 3.5 × 109,3.5 × 108,3.5 × 107cfu/ml and the blank group were 90%,70%,10% and 0% after intramuscular injection for 72 h spectively.The mean Ct values among these groups were 21.21 ±2.69,28.45 ±2.74,32.49 ±2.87 and 0.00 ± 0.00(P ＜ 0.05).The Ct values of the patient were 30.67 and 30.44.Conclusions Cclostridium perfringens could be successful identified with qPCR in mouse models when the mice still did not show any symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a multiple PCR method that can be used to spontaneously detect five kinds ofpathogens such as NG,MH,MG,CT and UU.Method With the fluorescence-quantitative PCR technique in conjunction with another detection technique as the golden standard,evaluation was conducted on the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and repeatability on the detection of 5 kinds of STD pathogens using single-tube multiplex PCR.Result The sensitivity,specificity and match rate of the method ale 10-9fg/μl,100%,97.8%respectively,and the repeatability of 5 continuous days of 20 clinical specimens is good.Conclusion Single-tube multiplex PCR technique provides a new method to detect 5 kinds of STD pathogens.
