Real-time PCR assays have revolutionised diagnostic microbiology over the past 15 years or more. Adaptations and improvements over that time frame have led to the development of multiplex assays. However, limitations in terms of available fluorophores has meant the number of assays which can be combined has remained in single figures. This latter limitation has led to the focus tending to be on individual pathogens and their detection. This chapter describes the development of TaqMan® Array Cards (TACs), technology which allows the detection of multiple pathogens (up to 48 targets) from a single nucleic acid extract, utilising small volumes and real-time PCR. This in turn lends itself to a syndromic approach ... More
