Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae by real-time nucleic acid sequence-based amplification.
Real-time isothermal nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (RT-NASBA) was applied to the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. In vitro-generated M. pneumoniae RNA was used to assess the sensitivity of the assay. The 95% hit rate was 148 molecules of M. pneumoniae RNA in the amplification and 10(4) molecules of in vitro-generated RNA after nucleic acid extraction. The sensitivity of the RT-NA...
متن کاملNucleic acid sequence-based amplification with oligochromatography for detection of Trypanosoma brucei in clinical samples.
Molecular tools, such as real-time nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) and PCR, have been developed to detect Trypanosoma brucei parasites in blood for the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Despite good sensitivity, these techniques are not implemented in HAT control programs due to the high cost of the equipment, which is unaffordable for laboratories in developin...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) and Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Coxsackievirus B3 in Cell Culture and Animal Tissue Samples
Enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. Group B coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. Genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) for detection of such viruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was de...
متن کاملDetection and quantification of Plasmodium falciparum in blood samples using quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification.
A quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) assay for the detection of Plasmodium parasites has been developed. Primers and probes were selected on the basis of the sequence of the small-subunit rRNA gene. Quantification was achieved by coamplification of the RNA in the sample with one modified in vitro RNA as a competitor in a single-tube NASBA reaction. Parasite densit...
