Mycoplasma pneumoniae: Current Knowledge on Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques and Serological Diagnostics
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) belongs to the class Mollicutes and has been recognized as a common cause of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), including community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), that occur worldwide and in all age groups. In addition, M. pneumoniae can simultaneously or sequentially lead to damage in the nervous system and has been associated with a wide variety of other acu...
متن کاملMycoplasma pneumoniae: Current Knowledge on Macrolide Resistance and Treatment
Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes community-acquired respiratory tract infections, particularly in school-aged children and young adults. These infections occur both endemically and epidemically worldwide. M. pneumoniae lacks cell wall and is subsequently resistant to beta-lactams and to all antimicrobials targeting the cell wall. This mycoplasma is intrinsically susceptible to macrolides and relate...
متن کاملDetection 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 amplification tests help to overcome the problems in detecting Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella and Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Current concepts of diagnosis and treatment of CAP are risk stratified and adapted to the national resistances of important pathogens. Thorough surveillance systems have to be implemented in all countries. The risk of patients can be assessed reliably with a limited number of clinical data (CRB-65 score). Extended microbiological and laboratory diagnosis is recommended for hospitaliszed patient...
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) ...
