Bead Array Direct rRNA Capture Assay (rCapA) for Amplification Free Speciation of Mycobacterium Cultures
Mycobacterium cultures, from patients suspected of tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection, need to be identified. It is most critical to identify cultures belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, but also important to recognize clinically irrelevant or important NTM to allow appropriate patient management. Identification of M. tuberculosis can be achieved by a s...
متن کاملMagnetic track array for efficient bead capture in microchannels.
Magnetism-based microsystems, as those dedicated to immunoaffinity separations or (bio)chemical reactions, take benefit of the large surface area-to-volume ratio provided by the immobilized magnetic beads, thus increasing the sensitivity of the analysis. As the sensitivity is directly linked to the efficiency of the magnetic bead capture, this paper presents a simple method to enhance the captu...
متن کاملAmplification of 16S rRNA sequences to detect Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
A probe based on 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences was developed to detect Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, the causative agent of Johne's disease in cattle. Three universal primers were used to sequence the amplified fragments of the 16S rRNA gene of various species of mycobacteria. When the nucleotide sequences were analysed, a deletion was detected in the sequence of the fast-growing species...
متن کاملCombined Species Identification, Genotyping, and Drug Resistance Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Cultures by MLPA on a Bead-Based Array
The population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is typically clonal therefore genotypic lineages can be unequivocally identified by characteristic markers such as mutations or genomic deletions. In addition, drug resistance is mainly mediated by mutations. These issues make multiplexed detection of selected mutations potentially a very powerful tool to characterise Mycobacterium tubercul...
متن کاملDirect 5S rRNA Assay for Monitoring Mixed-Culture Bioprocesses.
This study demonstrates the efficacy of a direct 5S rRNA assay for the characterization of mixed microbial populations by using as an example the bacteria associated with acidic mining environments. The direct 5S rRNA assay described herein represents a nonselective, direct molecular method for monitoring and characterizing the predominant, metabolically active members of a microbial population...
