Our primer/probe sets are designed for specific detection of pathogens mentioned below and are separated into 4 multiplex qPCR setups. An additional primer/probe set to detect the human TERT gene (as an internal control) is also included. DNA extracted from respiratory specimens is amplified in a Real-Time PCR Thermocycler (such as Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR Instrument). The fluorescent signal is emitted when the 5’ nuclease active domain of Taq polymerase degrades the probe anneals to the target sequence between the forward and the reverse primers. During each cycle, the fluorescence intensity is increased with the additional reporter dye molecules released from their respective probes.
The UTI) Pathogen Detection Assay also contains a positive control (Plasmid DNA) and a negative control for testing process monitoring.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TEST
The UTI Pathogen Detection Assay is a real-time PCR test intended for the
qualitative detection of DNA from the bacteria and fungus in urine and blood
samples.
The assay includes the following urinary track bacteria targets:
Enterobacter cloacae
Enterococcus faecalis
Escherichia coli
Klebsiella oxytoca
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Morganella morganii
Mycoplasma hominis
Proteus mirabilis
Providencia stuartii
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Serratia marcescens
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Streptococcus agalactiae
Ureaplasma parvum serovar and Ureaplasma urealyticum
C. albicans; C. glabrata; C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis
