Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish the optimal conditions to performance a multiple Polymerase Chain Reaction (multiplex) to detect the presence of emerging parasites Cryptosporidium spp., Mycrosporidium spp., Isospora belli, and Cyclospora spp. simultaneously, by targeting the 16S ribosomal gene in patients immunocompromised. After an exhaustive genetic analysis to obtain different primers sequences we tested the conditions of reagents concentration, time and temperature of reaction. The results showed the optimal conditions to make an efficient, specific, and reliable diagnostic method, performed in a simultaneous molecular reaction, to identify the presence of emerging parasites in faeces of patients susceptible to different infectious due to an immunocompromised status caused by diseases and chemotherapy to treat them. This method will help to decrease risk of complications and negative effects on life quality of ill patients.
