Applications of PCR
Ubiquitous
PCR, qRT-PCR, RT-PCR Current utility:
High level sensitivity/specificity
Rapid, specific microbial detection
Some cancers
Genetic diseases
Test development/research limiting factors
DNA?
RNA?PCR?

Example: MRSA
Coagulase positive Staphylococcus sp. Case confirmed ICU via
standard methods 2 cases confirmed on other
wards earlier How would PCR be useful?
Rapid confirmation of MRSA on ICU pt
Investigate genetic connections Environmental testing for
infection control

Example: Bcl-2
Translocation of Bcl-2 gene 18 to 14 at Ig heavy chain locus
Overproduction of Bcl protein
Apoptosis is hindered leading to neoplasia Follicular lymphoma
PCR application Use 2 different primers to catch t(14:18)
Bcl-2 and JH (heavy chain)

Example: Bioterrorism
Mysterious white powder PCR application
Use primers/probes - R/O malevolent incident
Check for B. anthracis virulence factors LF, PA, EF, and CAP
(poly-D-glutamyl capsule via pXO2)
