Evaluation of the EVIGENE VRE detection kit for detection of vanA and vanB genes in vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the EVIGENE VRE Detection kit and compare it with PCR, considered the gold standard for detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The correlation between the MIC values of vancomycin and teicoplanin using the epsilon test was also determined. In the EVIGENE VRE Detection kit, DNA probes specific for bacterial target DNA sequenc...
متن کاملEvaluation of the iNtRON VRE vanA/vanB Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
BACKGROUND Recently, the iNtRON VRE vanA/vanB real-time PCR (iNtRON; iNtRON Biotechnology, Korea) assay, a multiplex real-time PCR method, was introduced. In this prospective study, we compared the iNtRON assay with the Seeplex VRE ACE detection kit (Seeplex; Seegene, Korea), a conventional multiplex PCR assay. METHODS A chromogenic agar-based culture, in which pre-selected vancomycin-resista...
متن کاملComparison of the Roche LightCycler vanA/vanB detection assay and culture for detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci from perianal swabs.
We compared the performance characteristics of a real-time PCR method, the LightCycler vanA/vanB detection assay (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind.) to that of Enterococcosel agar (BBL, Sparks, Md.) for direct detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) from 894 perianal stool swabs. For 421 of 894 swabs, the result for LightCycler PCR was compared to an Enterococcosel p...
متن کاملEpidemiologic evaluation of Vancomycin Resistant genes in Enterococcus spp. isolated from clinical samples
Background & Objectives: Isolation of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus from clinical samples is very important. The aim of this study was evaluation of phenotype and genotype of van genes in vancomycine resistant Enterococcus. Materials and Methods: 411 Enterococcus isolates were collected from selected Tehran’s hospitals between March 2004 and December 2007. The enterococcal isolates were ide...
متن کاملبررسی خصوصیات فنوتیپی و ژنوتیپی سویه های انتروکوکوس مقاوم به ونکومایسین جدا شده از نمونه های بالینی بیماران شهرکرد
Background and purpose: Enterococci are important agents of endocarditis and urinary tract infections. They acquire resistance against antimicrobial agents which causes difficulty in their treatment. This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of strains resistant to vancomycin and identification of resistance genes vanA and vanB Enterococcus strains isolated from teaching ho...
