SPECIFIC OLIGOMERS FOR RAPID DETECTION OF ANIMAL PATHOGENS VIA PCR AND RT-PCR

采用聚合酶链反应（PCR）的分子方法，以确定一组30个重要的细菌，病毒和真菌病原体的动物。这种能力已被证明是传统微生物学技术的一种有价值的辅助手段，特别是用于检测难以培养的微生物或埋藏在档案材料中的微生物。这些程序的开发也提供了一种将病原体负荷与动物年龄和疾病过程相关联的方法。其中许多技术的有效性仍在评估中。- PCR，病原体，微生物

Molecular methods employing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were developed to identify a panel of 30 important bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens of animals. This capability has proven to be a valuable adjunct to traditional microbiological techniques especially for detecting microbes difficult to culture or those buried in archival material. Development of these procedures has also provided a means for correlating pathogen load with the animals age and the course of disease. The efficacy of many of these techniques is still being evaluated. - PCR, pathogens, microbial
