ABSTRACT:
Described are methods, kits and systems for multiplexed detection of biological agents in a sample, e.g., multiplexed detection of e.g., bacteria, viruses, and biological toxins. The method utilizes two markers for each agent; the presence or absence in a sample of each of the two markers per agent is determined in separate reactions; however each reaction is used to detect a single marker for multiple agents. Also disclosed is the multiplexed detection method using real time PCR. The invention provides an efficient, cost-effective, and specific method for multiplexed detection of biological agents.
