A Rapid Method by Type-specific Multiplex PCR for Clostridium perfringens on Surface of Traumatic Tissues / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid detecting method for Clostridium perfringens on traumatic tissues by type-specific multiplex PCR.METHODS Established a simple and rapid method(TLS method) for purifying the DNA of genomes and plasmids in standard strains of C.perfringens wild strains on surface of open traumatic tissues and detected DNAs by type-specific multiplex PCR.RESULTS All types of C.perfringens could be detected by type-specific multiplex PCR.The sensitivity by PCR for type A of C.perfringens arrived at 7.5?103/ml and a whole run could finish within 5 h;the results by PCR entirely corresponded with those by cultureing.CONCLUSIONS New methods for purifying DNA of genomes and plasmids of C.perfringens are simple and rapid;there are high specificity and sensitivity for detecting DNA by multiplex PCR within short time,which can be practiced in clinical laboratory.
