چکیده
background and objective: rapid diagnosis of pertussis is important for the timely isolation of the infection source and early prevention measures among the contact persons, especially among non-vaccinated infants for whom pertussis is life- threatening. materials and methods: targets is481 , is1001, bp0026 and human gapdh gene were used to develop a multiplex real- time pcr assay based on the taqman technology for detection and identification of bordetella pertussis and bordetella parapertussis in clinical samples. a total of 121 human clinical specimens obtained within 2012-2013 were used to evaluate the multiplex real-time pcr assay. clinical specimens were also tested for culture and conventional pcr. sensitivity and specificity for culture, conventional pcr, and multiplex real-time pcr were measured in comparison with a clinical standard for b. pertussis infection. results: the lower limit of detection (llod) of the multiplex assay was similar to the llod of each target in an individual assay format, which was approximately 1 genomic equivalent per reaction for is481 , is1001 and 10 genomic equivalents per reaction for bp0026 target. when the b. pertussis assays were compared with a clinical standard for b. pertussis infection, sensitivity was 5, 59 and 89% the specificity was 100, 100 and 100% for culture, conventional pcr, and multiplex real-time pcr, respectively. conclusions: developed multiplex real-time pcr offers a fast tool with high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of b . pertussis and b . parapertussis infections which is suitable for implementation in a routine laboratory diagnostics.

Multiplex real-time PCR assay for detection and differentiation of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis
A triplex real-time PCR assay for detection and differentiation of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis was developed. Three targets were used for amplification in a single tube: the insertion sequence IS481 and the pertussis toxin promoter region (ptxP) for B. pertussis, and the insertion sequence IS1001 for B. parapertussis. The performance of this PCR assay was evaluated in para...

Novel real-time PCR assays targeting the Bordetella pertussis insertion sequence IS481, the toxin promoter region and Bordetella parapertussis insertion sequence IS1001 were designed. PCR assays were capable of detecting ≤10 copies of target DNA per reaction, with an amplification efficiency of ≥90 %. From September 2003 to December 2009, per-nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal aspirates submitted f...

PCR is increasingly being used as a diagnostic test for the detection of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis DNA, as it has improved sensitivity and specificity in comparison to conventional techniques. The assay described here uses the two insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001 for B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, respectively, with detection by molecular beacons. The real-time P...

PCR, using primers Plp1 and Plp2, was evaluated for the detection of DNA from Bordetella pertussis in bacterial strains and in nasopharyngeal samples from patients with a cough lasting at least 7 days. The assay could detect DNA from 6 CFU of B. pertussis/10 microl of sample. Results of the PCR assay were compared with those of cultures, a determination of serum antibodies against pertussis tox...
