TaqMan PCR for IS1610 detection in filterable L-forms isolated from gestational tissues, cord blood and maternal blood samples. Amplifications were performed with chromosomal DNA from single L-forms colonies. DNA from M. tuberculosis H37Rv and M. bovis BCG was used as positive controls. MQ water was used instead of DNA template (NTC). (A) Graph with raw data (Ct values) of the placenta (PL) and cord blood (CB) samples, positive for mycobacterial L-forms; (B) Graph with raw data (Ct values) of the decidua (D) and maternal blood (B) samples, positive for mycobacterial L-forms; (C) Report from representative PCR run of DNA from L-forms colonies derived from term placenta and cord blood samples. Tr-trophoblasts.
