Multiplex real-time PCR melting curve assay to detect drug-resistant mutations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Early diagnosis of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is urgently needed to optimize treatment regimens and to prevent the transmission of resistant strains. Real-time PCR assays have been developed to detect drug resistance rapidly, but none of them have been widely applied due to their complexity, high cost, or requirement for advanced instruments. In this study, we developed a real-ti...
متن کاملDigital PCR to Detect and Quantify Heteroresistance in Drug Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis presents an enormous public health threat. It is typically defined as >1% of drug resistant colonies using the agar proportion method. Detecting small numbers of drug resistant Tb in a population, also known as heteroresistance, is challenging with current methodologies. Here we have utilized digital PCR to detect heteroresistance within M. tubercul...

متن کاملOriginal Article PCR for M. tuberculosis in tissue samples
Background: The presence of granuloma, visualized in histopathology for diagnosing tuberculosis in tissue samples, is not a specific finding. Moreover, histopathological examination of tissue sections needs one to two weeks for final reporting. A rapid and sensitive method is therefore needed for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in these paucibacillary tissue samples. Methodology: A PCR-...
متن کاملDetermination of PCR-ELISA Diagnostic Value in Comparison With Classical Methods and PCR to Detect Resistance to Methacillin
Background and Aims: High prevalence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus isolates (MRSA) as well as the multi-drug resistance in this bacterium causes difficulties in the treatment of infections due to these bacteria. Hence, detection of MRSA isolates by rapid and accurate methods is necessary. PCR-ELISA is an accurate and molecular technique that is used for the detection of several...
