Standardization and Quality Control in Vibrio cholerae Molecular Diagnostics: Role of TaqMan qPCR Kits
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) using hydrolysis probes (TaqMan chemistry) is now a core method for detecting Vibrio cholerae (especially O1/O139, ctxA-positive strains) in clinical and environmental specimens. Robust results require end-to-end standardization: pre-analytical sampling, validated primers/probes, calibrated quantification, fit-for-purpose controls, well-defined acceptance criteria, and compliant reporting.
