As similar symptoms are elicited by the two pathogens, it is difficult for their differential diagnosis. So far, no reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) assay has been found to differentiate between H9 AIV and IBV in one reaction. Therefore, developing a sensitive and specific method is of importance to simultaneously detect and differentiate H9 AIV and IBV. In this study, a duplex RT-PCR(d RT-PCR) was established. Two primer sets target the hemagglutinin(HA) gene of H9 AIV and the nucleocapsid(N) gene of IBV, respectively. Spec ific PCR products were obtained from all tested H9 AIVs and IBVs belonging to the major clades circulating in China, but not from AIVs of other subtypes or other infectious avian viruses. The sensitivity of the d RT-PCR assay corresponding to H9 AIV, IBV and mixture of H9 AIV and IBV were at a concentration of 1×10^1, 1.5×10^1 and 1.5×10^1 50% egg infective doses(EID_(50)) m L^–1, respectively. The concordance rates between the d RT-PCR and virus isolation were 99.1 and 98.2%, respectively, for detection of samples from H9N2 AIV or IBV infected chickens, while the concordance rate was 99.1% for detection of samples from H9N2 AIV and IBV co-infected chickens. Thus, the d RT-PCR assay reported herein is specific and sensitive, and suitable for the differential diagnosis of clinical infections and survei llance of H9 AIVs and IBVs.展开更多

Methods: The specific primers and probes were designed to amplify the femB gene of S. aureus and the DNA gyrase subunit B gene of P. aeruginosa. The sensitivity of the system was detected by a multiple proportional dilution method. In order to examine the specificity of the system, other twenty-one bacteria strains were assayed simultaneously. Results: A highly sensitive and specific duplex real-time PCR assay for the detection of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa was established. The sensitivity was 50 copies/μL. The specificity was 100%. The whole detection procedure can be finished within 2.5 h. Conclusion: The duplex real-time PCR method is efficient in detecting with good sensitivity and specificity. There is a good prospect of this method applying in disease prevention and pharmaceutical industry due to the simultaneous detection of two pathogens.展开更多
