Single-tube, nested, reverse transcriptase PCR for detection of viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Several problems remain before molecular biology-based techniques, such as PCR, are widely accepted for the detection of infectious agents. Among the most formidable of these problems are the inability of the tests to distinguish between viable and nonviable organisms. We approached this problem by using the fact that bacterial mRNA has an extremely short half-life, averaging only a few minutes...
متن کاملComparison of microplate hybridization with gel electrophoresis and dot blot hybridization for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PCR products.
A microplate ELISA hybridization assay has been developed for the detection of the IS6110 PCR products of M. tuberculosis from sputum specimens. In this study, its efficacy was evaluated by comparison with agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and dot blot hybridization (DBH), with culture results as the 'gold standard'. The assay was used with 190 sputum samples: the PCR results detected by ELISA ...
متن کاملDetection and differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial isolates by real-time PCR.
Mycobacteria cause a variety of illnesses that differ in severity and public health implications. The differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is of primary importance for infection control and choice of antimicrobial therapy. Despite advances in molecular diagnostics, the ability to rapidly diagnose M. tuberculosis infections by PCR is still inadequa...
متن کاملDetection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum specimens using one-tube nested PCR.
One-tube nested PCR was developed for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis using sequences based on thel6SrRNA gene. The usage of primers 16SOL, 16SOR, 16SIL and 16SIR with optimized conditions could detect 555 bp DNA band from 21 species, 41 strains of mycobacteria and one isolate of Nocardia asteroides. It also revealed a specific 306 bp DNA band from 59 strains of M. tuberculosis complex. Cro...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR and Reverse Line Blot Hybridization Assay (mPCR/RLB)
Multiplex PCR/Reverse Line Blot Hybridization assay allows the detection of up to 43 molecular targets in 43 samples using one multiplex PCR reaction followed by probe hybridization on a nylon membrane, which is re-usable. Probes are 5' amine modified to allow fixation to the membrane. Primers are 5' biotin modified which allows detection of hybridized PCR products using streptavidin-peroxidase...
