Some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were selected for detection oprL, toxA and phzM. DNA was extracted by boiling method as described by Reischl et al. (2002) . The three sets of primers (Table 1) were used for detection of virulence genes. Each PCR reaction was done in a total volume of 20µl as follows: 2 µl of template DNA, 0.6 µl MgCl2, 0.4 µl of each primer, 0.2 µl dNTP, 2µl of 10 x PCR buffer, 0.5 µl of Taq DNA polymerase (5U/µl) (SinaClon, Tehran, Iran) and 13.9 µl of Milli-Q water. The PCR condition was an initial denaturation at 95ºc for 5 minutes, then processed into 35 cycles each one was denaturation at 95ºc for 30 second, annealing at 55 ºc for 35 seconds and extension at 72 ºc for 30 second. A PCR reaction without any DNA was utilized as a negative control, while a reference strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa gladly given by the Animal Health Institute in Giza, Egypt, was utilized as positive control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
