TaqMan quantitative PCR was performed on DNA extracts of blood samples from CF patients, patients with non-CF bronchiectasis and healthy individuals. A. Agarose gel with qPCR products results of 16 CF patients revealing one positive sample with the amplication of the 200 bp PA4331. 17: positive control (plasmid DNA including PA 4331, spiked with human DNA), 18: negative control (human DNA) 19: water control; B. qPCR amplification curves of the PA4331 and controls in the blood sample from CF patient #4. Red bar: cut-off of the assay.
