[Development of a multiplex PCR for detection of the Yersinia genus with identification of pathogenic species (Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica)].

To identify the Yersinia genus and pathogenic species (Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica) in a single reaction a multiplex PCR technique was developed. It was optimized by five compounds of PCR buffer and temperature of primers annealing. The multiplex PCR provides an improved and rapid method for detection of the Yersinia genus and identification of pathogenic species.
