Evaluation of two DNA extraction methods for the PCR-based detection of eukaryotic enteric pathogens in fecal samples

Abstract Objective Efficient and easy-to-use DNA extraction and purification methods are critical in implementing PCR-based diagnosis of pathogens. In order to optimize the routine clinical laboratory diagnosis of eukaryotic enteric pathogens, we compare, via quantitative PCR cycle threshold (Ct) va...
