Abstract
- This study confirms that Taq DNA polymerase could be contaminated with the blaTEM-1a gene.
It also proposes two different methods that could be used to overcome DNA contamination: (i)
DNase I treatment prior to PCR amplification; and (ii) the use of a highly purified Taq DNA polymerase
which was devoid of detectable contamination.
