Advanced molecular diagnostics for detection of plant pathogenic bacteria

摘要

Precise molecular diagnosis of pathogenic bacterial infections decreases the spread of the disease and facilitates to make suitable disease management strategies. Advanced molecular diagnostics has taken a noticeable place and has revealed advantageous in diagnostic laboratory for routine detection, fingerprinting and epidemiologic analysis of infectious microorganisms. Molecular tests reduce the exposure to infectious agents and decreases the health risk for the consumers. This review aims to discuss our most recent of state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic techniques enabling fast and accurate detection and identification of plant and food borne pathogens based on well-developed genotyping techniques like polymerase chain reaction, Multiplex PCR, RT PCR, LAMP, LSSP PCR and SSCP PCR assay.
