Development of a multiplex real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of four bacterial pathogens causing pneumonia

Ainat [17]2 years ago
4 0

To simultaneously identify the four bacterial pathogens that cause pneumonia, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Moraxella catarrhalis, a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) technique was developed.

Limit of detection (LOD), specificity, and reproducibility were used to assess the analytical performance of mRT-PCR against target pathogens. For the "respiratory bacteria four" (RB4) mRT-PCR assay, 210 clinical samples from pneumonia patients were processed using automatic nucleic acid extraction equipment.

The outcomes were then directly compared to references from bacterial culture and/or Sanger sequencing. With a coefficient of variance ranging from 0.29 to 1.71 and a cautious LOD of DNA equating to 5 102 copies/reaction, the RB4 mRT-PCR test identified all target pathogens from sputum samples.

Additional bacterial infections were found in reference-negative specimens, and the assay had 100% agreement with reference-positive samples.

The chemical equation below summarizes the burning of a fossil fuel.
algol13

Answer: B. Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

Fossil fuel can release methane and other hydrocarbon. The reaction is processed between methane and oxygen in the air. When this reaction takes place the result is Carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy (heat)

Hope this helps!
