Rapid detection of pathogenic leptospires by lyophilized reagent-based Polymerase Chain Reaction.

A simple and reliable tool for the early diagnosis of leptospirosis is urgently needed. We report the development of a lyophilized reagent-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting lipL32 gene, which is present only in pathogenic leptospires. To determine the effectiveness of the newly d...
