Entamoeba coli DNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection

Entamoeba coli DNA Stl Ql NAA+probe

Definition

  • Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. It is transmitted through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contaminated water. Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and can be identified in diagnostic stool specimens. This assay is for detection of Entamoeba coli by using DNA obtained from stool samples by PCR method.
