What does CS stand for?

Differentiation of Bartonella-like isolates at the species level by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism in the citrate synthase gene.

Analysis of citrate synthase activity The citrate synthase activity was determined based on the oxidative capacity, which is an index of the effect of endurance training.

The capacity of classic markers for mitochondrial density, ie, the capacity of citrate synthase (CS) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), as well the capacity of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD), was determined in homogenized muscle biopsy samples obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of nonexercising healthy young (age 20 [+ or -] 2 yr) subjects (31 women, 7 men).

We subjected the DNA to sequencing that targeted a 491-bp fragment of rickettsial outer membrane protein A (ompA), a 394-bp fragment of the rickettsial genus-specific 17-kDa antigen gene, and a 1,250-bp fragment of citrate synthase gene (gltA).

Detection of the SFG pathogens requires a 2-step procedure: PCR and sequencing of selected genes (16S rRNA, citrate synthase [gltA], outer membrane protein A [ompA], ompB, and 17-kDa protein) (1-6).

Partial 16S rRNA, RNA polymerase B, and citrate synthase genes and 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences indicated that human isolates were similar to Candidatus B.

Bartonella DNA was detected by PCR amplifying a 379-bp fragment of the citrate synthase gene (gltA) (8).

1258n (10) generated from the rickettsial citrate synthase (gltA) gene.
