Cross-reactivity of genetic probe for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with newly described species Mycobacterium celatum.

چکیده
An acridinium ester-labeled DNA probe (AccuProbe; Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) for the identification of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex gave discrepant results with the newly described species M. celatum. Examination of 20 strains of M. celatum showed that 8 were positive with the probe; the remaining 12 were negative.

Detection of Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria Infection due to Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium kansasii in Patients Suspected of Tuberculosis in Isfahan, Iran
Several reports have indicated that infection with Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide.Therefore,monitoring species causing micobacterial infection in any region is of great importance. This study was going to detect, differentiate, and identify pathogenic mycobacteria in primary clinical samples. Eighty samples collected from tuberculosis suspected patients in Isfahan/I...

We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
متن کاملFalse-positive results for Mycobacterium celatum with the AccuProbe Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex assay.
Mycobacterium celatum type 1 was found to cross-react in the AccuProbe Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex assay. Subsequently, we found a statistically significant increase in the relative light units with lower temperatures, suggesting that it is necessary to perform this AccuProbe assay at between 60 and 61 degrees C. We also recommend the inclusion of M. celatum type 1 as a negative control.
متن کاملMisidentification and diagnostic delay Caused by a false-positive amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis direct test in an immunocompetent patient with a Mycobacterium celatum infection.
The Gen-Probe amplified Mycobacterium tuberculosis direct test can give discrepant results directly in respiratory or cultured samples from patients infected with Mycobacterium celatum, leading to inappropriate therapy for, in our case, an immunocompetent patient.

Abstract A dataset of (E)-N’-benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide derivatives as a potent anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis has been investigated utilizing Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) techniques. Genetic Function Algorithm (GFA) and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were used to select the descriptors and to generate the correlation QSAR models that relate the Mi...
