High impact information on Ligase Chain Reaction

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ligase Chain Reaction

  • We assessed the correlation between ligase chain reaction (LCR) on first void urine (FVU) and cultures of urethral and cervical swabs to detect chlamydia during three post-treatment follow up visits for 10 men and 19 women with genital chlamydial infections who had been treated with azithromycin or doxcycline [11].
 

Biological context of Ligase Chain Reaction

 

Associations of Ligase Chain Reaction with chemical compounds

  • The cellular adequacies of 1,633 female endocervical swab specimens were assessed and compared with the results of C. trachomatis detection obtained by ligase chain reaction (LCR; Abbott Laboratories) [17].
  • OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of three interventions for C. trachomatis infections in women beginning Army training: 1) screening using urine ligase chain reaction (LCR) by age, 2) unrestricted testing using urine LCR, and 3) universal antibiotic treatment with azithromycin [18].
  • Therefore, we have developed a new specific and sensitive method--a ligase chain reaction (LCR) assay--for detection of frequently encountered 594 mutated codon in ganciclovir (GCV) resistant virus [19].
