Specificity of IS6110-based DNA fingerprinting and diagnostic techniques for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism and hybridization of DNA extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and nonmycobacterial species with a probe derived from IS6110 confirmed that IS6110 was specific to M. tuberculosis complex. In addition, DNA amplification with IS6110-specific primers yielded a 181-bp fragment only in DNA from M. tuberculosis complex isolates.
متن کاملUse of PCR Method Based on IS6110 for Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Cattle
Bovine tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis is a highly infectious zoonotic disease. When transmitted to humans the disease symptoms cannot be distinguished from infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis the agent of TB in humans. Transmission of the disease to humans is through direct contact with diseased animals and consumption of unpasteurized milk and milk products. The diagnost...
متن کاملThe Development of Three Strand Displacement Amplification Assays for Culture Confirmation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex, Mycobacterium avium Complex and Mycobacterium kansasii on the BDProbeTecTM ET System
■ The clinical importance of mycobacterial infections is increasing, particularly as a result of AIDS. The diagnosis of these infections has been traditionally dependent on culture followed by biochemical analysis. These procedures are time consuming and labor intensive; diagnosis can take as long as six weeks. In combination with automated culturing systems such as the BACTEC460TB and the BACT...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex, Using Molecular Methods
Abstract Background and Objective: A high level of homogeneity observed within all bacteria in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex makes a property that seriously challenges traditional biochemical-based identification methods of these pathogens in the laboratory. The work presented here was conducted to characterize Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in Golestan, Northern Iran. ...
متن کاملPCR amplification of the IS6110 insertion element of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in fecal samples from patients with intestinal tuberculosis.
PCR amplification of insertion element IS6110 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in fecal samples was evaluated in the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis (ITB). The numbers of samples that tested positive by PCR with SalI digestion were 16/18 untreated-ITB samples, 0/8 treated-ITB samples, 12/14 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis samples, and 0/30 control samples. The sensitivity, specificity, ...
