Direct Detection of Erythromycin-Resistant Bordetella pertussis in Clinical Specimens by PCR.
Resistance of Bordetella pertussis to erythromycin has been increasingly reported. We developed an allele-specific PCR method for rapid detection of erythromycin-resistant B. pertussis directly from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab samples submitted for diagnostic PCR. Based on the proven association of erythromycin resistance with the A2047G mutation in the 23S rRNA of B. pertussis, four primers, two ...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Macrolide resistance determinants in erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Turkey.
To determine the major molecular mechanisms of macrolide resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in Turkey, we examined a total of 151 isolates collected from different regions of Turkey. Overall, 40 (26.4%) isolates were resistant to erythromycin. The most common mechanism (38/40) was target site modification due to erm (B) genes. Only two isolates harbored the mef (A)/(E) efflux ge...
متن کاملRapid detection of methicillin-resistant staphylococci by multiplex PCR.
A multiplex PCR was developed to detect the coagulase gene (coa; pathognomic of Staphylococcus aureus) and the mecA gene (characteristically encoding for methicillin resistance in staphylococci) in a single, rapid test. Suitable primers for the gene targets and an internal, amplification control were incorporated into a multiplex PCR assay, which was then optimized on a capillary air thermal cy...
متن کاملDetection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in fecal samples by PCR.
Surveillance cultures for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are time-consuming and expensive for the laboratory to perform. Therefore, we investigated the use of PCR as an alternative method of detecting and identifying VRE directly in fecal samples. PCR primers directed to vanA, vanB, vanC1, vanC2, and enterococcal ligase genes were used to detect and identify VRE in fecal material obtain...
