Currently I am working with qPCR quantification specific for Lactobacillus bacteria. I found in some cases, the sample showing multiple peaks of melting curves while others looks perfect, so do the amplification plot duplication. Any one have an opinion about this issues? Does it caused by sample DNA quality, the omount of the bacteria detected, or primers problem? I am condisering that this condition reflecting the low abundance of the specific bacteria inside its sample.
