Influence of the fixation/permeabilization step on peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH) for the detection of bacteria.

Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) is a versatile, widespread and widely- used technique in microbiology. The first step of FISH-fixation/permeabilization-is crucial to the outcome of the method. This work aimed to systematically evaluate fixation/permeabilization protocols employing ethanol,...
