Lx. Wu et al., SIMULTANEOUS MULTIANALYTE NUCLEIC-ACID DETECTION FOR GASTROINTESTINALBACTERIAL PATHOGENS USING GENESTAR TECHNOLOGY, Clinics in laboratory medicine, 17(1), 1997, pp. 129
The use of Gene-based simultaneous target amplification and recognitio
n (GeneSTAR) technologies allows for the rapid detection of five diffe
rent bacterial gastrointestinal pathogens from stool sample. The proce
ss involves DNA isolation, multianalyte polymerase chain reaction (PCR
) amplification and single base mismatch detection in a microtiter pla
te format. The analysis is instrument compatible and can be completed
in less than five hours.
