Rapid detection and discrimination of potentially toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis by multiplex real-time PCR and amplicon melting curve analysis
We developed a multiplex real-time PCR assay with amplicon melting curve analysis to rapidly discriminate Corynebacterium ulcerans from Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and detect the bacterial diphtheria toxin gene. This assay should be a valuable tool for identification of potentially toxigenic C. ulcerans.
