Advanced methods for molecular-biological diagnostics of genital infections

Abstract

At present to diagnose infectious diseases new achievements of molecular biology are more often used equally with classic cultural methods. The article briefly presents the base of molecular-biological diagnostics of infections and the use of nucleic acids amplification with different arrangements of polimerase chain reaction including that being performed in real time. Examples of quantitative determination of DNA of microorganisms actual for obstetrics and neonatology.
