| Research Abstract |
We describe an assay for simple and accurate quantification of pathogenic microorganisms in water samples using a recently developed quantification method named alternately binding probe competitive PCR(ABC-PCR). Cryptosporidium spp. were selected as representative pathogenic microorganisms in this study. The standard curve of the ABC-PCR assay had a good fitting to a rectangular hyperbola. Concentrations of Cryptosporidium oocysts in real river water samples were successfully quantified by the ABC-PCR assay. The quantified values by the ABC-PCR assay very closely resemble those by the real-time-PCR assay.
