Peptide nucleic acid-mediated competitive PCR clamping for detection of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peptide nucleic acid-mediated competitive PCR clamping, which can selectively amplify mutant alleles, was developed to detect mutations in four codons (513, 516, 526, and 531) of the rpoB gene in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. This simple method successfully identified the mutations in all 40 of the M. tuberculosis strains tested.

متن کاملPeptide nucleic acid probe detection of mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes associated with drug resistance.
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious public health problem. Many of the specific gene mutations that cause drug resistance in M. tuberculosis are point mutations. We are developing a PCR-peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based ELISA as a diagnostic method to recognize point mutations in genes associated with isoniazid and rifampin resistance in M. tubercul...

Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be rapidly diagnosed through nucleic acid amplification techniques by analyzing the variations in the associated gene sequences. In the present study, a locked nucleic acid (LNA) probe-based real-time PCR assay was developed to identify the mutations in the rpoB gene associated with rifampin (RFP) resistance in M. tuberculosis. Six LNA probes with t...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium species and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance determinants by use of PCR-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
PCR coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR-ESI-MS) is a novel technology that has recently been used to identify pathogens from clinical specimens or after culture within about 6 h. We evaluated the MDR-TB (multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) assay, which uses PCR-ESI-MS for detection and identification of Mycobacterium spp. and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) resis...
