Comparison of 16S rDNA-PCR Amplification and Culture of Cerebrospinal Fluid for Diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis
OBJECTIVE Early and accurate diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is of critical concern. Optimum and rapid laboratory facilities are not routinely available for detecting the etiologic agents of meningitis. The objective of this study was to compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with culture for detection of bacteria in central nervous system (CNS) samples from patients suspected to have ...
متن کاملApplication of 16S rDNA based seminested PCR for diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The diagnosis of bacterial meningitis remains a challenge to the clinician because of its rapid lethal course lacking the consistency to particular clinical signs and symptoms. Moreover, in many clinical settings use of rampant and short course antibiotic therapy prior to lumbar puncture reduces the chance of isolation of bacteria in CSF culture making the diagnosis diff...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of leptospirosis by multiplex PCR.
BACKGROUND Traditionally, the most common diagnostic approach used for diagnosing leptospirosis was the demonstration of immune-seroconversion in acute and convalescent patient serum samples. Recently, a variety of molecular techniques, including conventional and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been developed for the specific detection of pathogenic bacteria from the genus Lepto...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR protocol for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection.
We report the development of a multiplex PCR protocol for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection. The protocol was designed to (i) detect any staphylococcal species to the exclusion of other bacterial pathogens (based on primers corresponding to Staphylococcus-specific regions of the 16S rRNA genes), (ii) distinguish between S. aureus and the coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) (based on ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Bacterial Infections with the Use of Multiplex PCR Assays.
The investigation of respiratory infections by molecular techniques provides important information about the epidemiology of respiratory disease, especially during the post-vaccination era. The objective of the present study was the detection of bacterial pathogens directly in clinical samples from patients with upper and lower respiratory tract infections using multiplex polymerase chain react...
