Abstract
Direct extraction of Cryptosporidium DNA from 46 stools by bead-beating, guanidine thiocyanate and silica purification provided slightly lower PCR positivity (93.5% vs. 100%) and higher threshold cycle values (mean 34.93 vs. 28.03; P=0.00) than spin-column extraction from boiled, semi-purified oocyst suspensions. However, direct extraction is cheaper, and amenable to automation. Copyright ÂEntities:
