Diagnosis of plague and identification of virulence markers in Yersinia pestis by multiplex-PCR
We have developed a procedure for the rapid diagnosis of plague that also allows the identification of prominent virulence markers of Y. pestis strains. This procedure is based upon the use of a single polymerase chain reaction with multiple pairs of primers directed at genes present in the three vi...
