  • Sequence specific primer pool for multiplex PCR and method of detecting microbial infections in thalassemia patients
    Patent number: 9863009
    Abstract: Reagents and methods for the fast, accurate and early detection of infections in thalassemia major patients. Reagents include a primer pool containing a mixture of primer pairs for the specific recognition and simultaneous amplification of targeted gene sequences of pathogens from a biological sample collected from a patient in a multiplex PCR reaction. Pathogens may include at least one Fungi species, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. Subsequent identification of the pathogens is achieved by DNA sequencing analysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2018
    Assignee: University of Dammam
    Inventors: Amein Kadhem Al-Ali, Francis Borgio Jesu Alexander, Zaki Naserullah, Sayed Abdul Azeez, Sana Al-Jarrash
