Use of Propidium Monoazide for Live/Dead Distinction in Microbial Ecology
TL;DR: Results from the first two experiments show that PMA treatment can be of value with end-point PCR by suppressing amplification of DNA from killed cells, and the last two experiments suggest that PM a treatment can affect banding patterns in DGGE community profiles and their intensities, although the intrinsic limitations of end- point PCR have to be taken into consideration.

Selective removal of DNA from dead cells of mixed bacterial communities by use of ethidium monoazide.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided here that prior to denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, EMA treatment of a mature mixed-population drinking-water biofilm containing a substantial proportion of dead cells can result in community fingerprints dramatically different from those for an untreated biofilm.

Novel approaches toward preferential detection of viable cells using nucleic acid amplification techniques
Andreas Nocker,Anne K. Camper +1 more
TL;DR: This article elaborates on possible future directions for microbial viability assessment using nucleic acid-modifying compounds in combination with DNA- (and potentially RNA-) amplification technologies.

Selective detection of live bacteria combining propidium monoazide sample treatment with microarray technology.
Andreas Nocker,Alberto Mazza,Luke Masson,Luke Masson,Anne K. Camper,Roland Brousseau,Roland Brousseau +6 more
TL;DR: Treatment of samples with propidium monoazide in combination with diagnostic microarray detection can be considered beneficial when analyzing mixtures of intact and membrane-compromised cells.

Retention of a model pathogen in a porous media biofilm.
TL;DR: E engineered biofilm systems may be considered as a device to capture pathogens from the bulk flow for monitoring purposes to provide general insights into interactions between pathogens and drinking water biofilms.
