Immuno-capture PCR for detection of Aeromonas hydrophila

J Microbiol Methods. 2002 May;49(3):335-8. doi: 10.1016/s0167-7012(02)00010-6.

Abstract

In this report, we describe the use of universal primer PCR (UPPCR) for the detection of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes from Aeromonas hydrophila captured by anti-A. hydrophila antibody coupled to a microplate. The approach combining immuno-capture with UPPCR provides a quick, sensitive, and reproducible way for the detection of bacterial cells.
