Identification of mycobacteria by using INNO LiPA.
I have read with interest the recent paper of Suffys et al. (1) concerning the identification of 157 mycobacterium strains by using the INNO LiPA Mycobacteria (LiPA) assay. The same journal had published, 1 year ago, a similar paper, which I coauthored, on 238 strains (2), the results of which are now substantially confirmed. I feel, however, that Suffys et al. did not take it into due account;...
متن کاملEvaluation of INNO-LiPA mycobacteria v2 assay for identification of rapidly growing mycobacteria
A total of 54 rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) isolated from patients attended in the two hospitals of Cádiz Bay (Spain) were selected during a seven-year-period (2000-2006) in order to evaluate the INNO-LiPA Mycobacteria v2 assay for mycobacterial identification, based on the reverse hybridization principle. The strains were cultured in Löwenstein-Jensen and Middlebrook 7H9 media and identif...
متن کاملRapid identification of Mycobacterium genavense with a new commercially available molecular test, INNO-LiPA MYCOBACTERIA v2.
We report a rare mesenteric localized Mycobacterium genavense infection in a severely immunocompromised human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. An INNO-LiPA MYCOBACTERIA v2 test was performed directly on biopsy samples. This new molecular tool could be used for simultaneous identification of mycobacterium species from human specimens, but other studies are needed to validate our first re...
متن کاملEvaluation of INNO-LiPA assay for direct detection of mycobacteria in pulmonary and extrapulmonary specimens.
The INNO-LiPA Mycobacteria kit has been developed for detecting mycobacteria in liquid and solid cultures through amplification of the 16S-23S rRNA mycobacterial spacer region and the use of species-specific probes. The aim of this study was to verify the possible direct use of the kit on clinical samples. The study was performed retrospectively on a total of 129 specimens (104 pulmonary and 25...
متن کاملMycobacteria mobility shift assay: a method for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria
The identification of mycobacteria is essential because tuberculosis (TB) and mycobacteriosis are clinically indistinguishable and require different therapeutic regimens. The traditional phenotypic method is time consuming and may last up to 60 days. Indeed, rapid, affordable, specific and easy-to-perform identification methods are needed. We have previously described a polymerase chain reactio...
