Cross-priming amplification for rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cross-priming amplification (CPA) technology for tuberculosis diagnosis from sputum specimens was evaluated. The sensitivity of CPA from smear- and liquid culture-positive specimens was 96.9%, and that from smear-negative and liquid culture-positive specimens was 87.5%. The specificity of CPA in culture-negative specimens was 98.8%.

RAPID DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
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 کاملA multicenter study of cross-priming amplification for tuberculosis diagnosis at peripheral level in China.
Cross-Priming Amplification (CPA) has been shown to rapidly and effectively detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in sputum samples under isothermal conditions. However, no performance data exist from peripheral-level tuberculosis (TB) clinics in tuberculosis-endemic countries. We conducted a clinical trial at four county-level TB clinics in China to evaluate the effectiveness of the CPA assa...

Abstract Background and objectives: Direct smear microscopy, because of its simplicity, rapidity, low cost and relatively sensitive is a suitable method to detecting pulmonary tuberculosis. This experiment was aimed at determining the best method for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis among three kinds of staining methods: Fluorochrome, Ziehl Neelsen and Tan Thiam Hok . Material and Methods: ...
متن کاملApplication of Hyperbranched Rolling Circle Amplification for Direct Detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Clinical Sputum Specimens
BACKGROUND Global tuberculosis (TB) control is encumbered by the lack of a rapid and simple detection method for diagnosis, especially in low-resource areas. An isothermal amplification method, hyperbranched rolling circle amplification (HRCA), was optimized to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in clinical sputum specimens. METHODS A clinical validation study was performed to assess the...
متن کاملProtein-coding housekeeping gene Rv2461c can be used as an amplification target in loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples.
The study is to explore the potential of the conserved Rv2461c gene as a biomarker for Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. The conservation of the hypothetical genes was evaluated in this study using multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis. The conservation of Rv2461c coding gene was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction using six reference strains of M. tuberculosis complex (MTC), 156 ...
