Principles and applications of Ligation Mediated PCR methods for DNA-based typing of microbial organisms.

Abstract

A significant number of DNA-based techniques has been introduced into the field of microorganisms' characterization and taxonomy. These genomic fingerprinting methods were developed to detect DNA sequence polymorphisms by using general principles, such as restriction endonuclease analysis, molecular hybridization, and PCR amplification. In recent years, some alternative techniques based on ligation of oligonucleotide adapters before DNA amplification by PCR, known as Ligation-Mediated PCR methods (LM PCR), have been successfully applied for the typing of microorganisms below the species level. These molecular methods include: Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Amplification of DNA fragments Surrounding Rare Restriction Sites (ADSRRS), PCR Melting Profiles (PCR MP), Ligation Mediated PCR/Shifter (LM PCR/Shifter), Infrequent-Restriction-Site Amplification (IRS PCR), double digestion Ligation Mediated Suppression PCR (ddLMS PCR). These techniques are now applied more and more often because they involve less time, are comparably inexpensive, and require only standard lab equipment. Here, we present a general review of this group of methods showing their possibilities and limitations. We also identify questions and propose solutions which may be helpful in choosing a particular LM PCR method for the achievement of the required goal.

Recent advances and application of whole genome amplification in molecular diagnosis and medicine

“…When designing the third marker primers, a partial overlap should be left between the third primer and the second primer, and the melting temperature (Tm) value of the third primer should be higher than that of the second primer. This requirement greatly limits the design of PCR primers in the application of this technique, 46 especially when studying the interaction between DNA proteins rich in adenine‐thymine (AT) regulatory sequences and determining the nucleotide sequence.…”

The secondary hyperoxaluria in children: the therapeutic potential of prebiotics and probiotics

“…Суть этого метода состоит в комплементарном достраивании участка геномной ДНК или РНК возбудителя, осуществляемом in vitro с помощью фермента термостабильной ДНК-полимеразы. Данный метод обладает высокой специфичностью, эффективностью в обнаружении сложнокультивируемых анаэробных бактерий и точностью при определении количественного соотношения определяемых микроорганизмов [31][32][33]. Использование метода полимеразной цепной реакции в режиме реального времени позволяет дать информацию о состоянии наиболее важной пристеночной резидентной микрофлоры.…”

Intestinal micro biota and its role in the pathogenesis of secondary hyperoxaluria in children

“…ПЦР-диагностика основывается на определении генов ферментов оксалил-КоАдекарбоксилазы и формил-КоАтрансферазы в образцах кала. Этот метод имеет более высокие чувствительность и специфичность по сравнению с культуральным методом [25,31].…”
