LaboratoryBlastocystis hominis DNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This code describes molecular detection of Blastocystis hominis DNA by RT-PCR using a fluorescent probe. The primers/probe target an amplified fragment of a ribosmal subunit of B. hominis. Results are based on a cross threshold (Ct) value.
