Colony multiplex-tandem PCR for rapid, accurate identification of fungal cultures.
We developed a multiplex tandem PCR (MT-PCR) assay for the rapid identification of 16 fungi directly from culture. MT-PCR results were concordant with phenotypic identification for all cultures studied (n = 183). The colony MT-PCR assay was rapid (<2 h), sensitive, and specific in identifying fungal pathogens directly from primary isolation plates.
متن کاملRapid identification of yeasts in positive blood cultures by a multiplex PCR method.
Yeasts are emerging as important etiological agents of nosocomial bloodstream infections. A multiplex PCR method was developed to rapidly identify clinically important yeasts that cause fungemia. The method amplified the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region between the 18S and 5.8S rRNA genes and a specific DNA fragment within the ITS2 region of Candida albicans. With this method, C. alb...
متن کاملRapid identification of pathogenic fungi directly from cultures by using multiplex PCR.
A multiplex PCR method was developed to identify simultaneously multiple fungal pathogens in a single reaction. Five sets of species-specific primers were designed from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, ITS1 and ITS2, of the rRNA gene to identify Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Another set of previously publis...
متن کاملRapid and accurate peptide identification from tandem mass spectra.
Mass spectrometry, the core technology in the field of proteomics, promises to enable scientists to identify and quantify the entire complement of proteins in a complex biological sample. Currently, the primary bottleneck in this type of experiment is computational. Existing algorithms for interpreting mass spectra are slow and fail to identify a large proportion of the given spectra. We descri...
متن کاملRapid semi-automated quantitative multiplex tandem PCR (MT-PCR) assays for the differential diagnosis of influenza-like illness
BACKGROUND Influenza A, including avian influenza, is a major public health threat in developed and developing countries. Rapid and accurate detection is a key component of strategies to contain spread of infection, and the efficient diagnosis of influenza-like-illness is essential to protect health infrastructure in the event of a major influenza outbreak. METHODS We developed a multiplexed ...
