A new colorimetric peptide nucleic acid-based assay for the specific detection of bacteria

Aim: Developments on synthetic molecules, such as peptide nucleic acid (PNA), make FISH procedures more robust for microbial identification. Fluorochromes use might hinder a broader implementation of PNA-FISH, but colorimetric applications are inexistent so far. Methods: A biotin-labeled eubacteria...
