Colony multiplex-tandem PCR for rapid, accurate identification of fungal cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a multiplex tandem PCR (MT-PCR) assay for the rapid identification of 16 fungi directly from culture. MT-PCR results were concordant with phenotypic identification for all cultures studied (n = 183). The colony MT-PCR assay was rapid (<2 h), sensitive, and specific in identifying fungal pathogens directly from primary isolation plates.

Rapid identification of pathogenic fungi directly from cultures by using multiplex PCR.
A multiplex PCR method was developed to identify simultaneously multiple fungal pathogens in a single reaction. Five sets of species-specific primers were designed from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, ITS1 and ITS2, of the rRNA gene to identify Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Another set of previously publis...

PURPOSE To investigate the predominant causative pathogens and epidemiologic features of fungal keratitis and establish a rapid, specific molecular method to detect fungal keratitis caused by Fusarium solani. METHODS A total of 174 patients with presumed fungal keratitis and 174 affected eyes were examined. Isolates from corneal specimens were identified according to morphologic and physiolog...

This study aimed to assess the occurrence of toxigenic fungi and mycotoxin contamination in stored wheat grains by using advanced molecular and analytical techniques. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy was established for rapid identification of mycotoxigenic fungi, and an improved analytical method was developed for simultaneous multi-mycotoxin determination in wheat grains b...
متن کاملDetection of yeasts in blood cultures by the Luminex xTAG fungal assay.
A multiplex-PCR Luminex xMAP bead probe fluid array using xTAG analyte-specific reagents (multiplex xTAG fungal ASR assay) was employed for detection of clinically significant Candida species, Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Blastomyces dermatitidis from blood cultures. We tested 132 blood cultures negative (n = 10) or positive (n = 97) for yeasts and/or bacteria (n = 25). ...
متن کاملRapid and reliable multiplex PCR pathogen detection in whole blood by using the VYOO® Kit on the Mastercycler® pro
This Application Note introduces a new protocol for multiplex PCR-based detection (VYOO, SIRS-Lab, Jena, Germany) of bacterial and fungal pathogens. Directly from whole blood, sepsis-causing species are identified. Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in hospitalized patients whereas rapid pathogen detection is a cornerstone in effective therapy. DNA was isolated from EDTA whole blo...
