Pathogen Identification by Multiplex LightMix Real-Time PCR Assay in Patients with Meningitis and Culture-Negative Cerebrospinal Fluid Specimens
Acute bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency, and delays in initiating effective antimicrobial therapy result in increased morbidity and mortality. Culture-based methods, thus far considered the "gold standard" for identifying bacterial microorganisms, require 24 to 48 h to provide a diagnosis. In addition, antimicrobial therapy is often started prior to clinical sample collection, thereby...
متن کاملIdentification of Pathogens in Nasopharyngeal Secretions of Patients with and without Pneumonia by Multiplex RT-PCR Method
Background and purpose: Pneumonia is the most common infectious cause of death. This study aimed at investigating the causative agent of pneumonia in nasopharyngeal secretions by PCR method. Materials and methods: This case-control study was carried out in patients (older than 19 years of age) suspected of pneumonia admitted to Qaemshahr Razi Hospital and Sari Imam Khomeini Hospital...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Internally Controlled Multiplex Tth Endonuclease Cleavage Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (TEC-LAMP) Assay for the Detection of Bacterial Meningitis Pathogens
Bacterial meningitis infection is a leading global health concern for which rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) offers an effective low-cost diagnostic approach; however, multiplex LAMP is difficult to achieve, limiting its application. We have developed novel real-time multiplex LAMP technology, T...
متن کاملSimultaneous Detection of Five Pathogens from Cerebrospinal Fluid Specimens Using Luminex Technology.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the outcome of central nervous system (CNS) infections. In this study, we developed a multiplex PCR-Luminex assay for the simultaneous detection of five major pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, which frequently cause CNS infections. Through the h...
متن کاملAutomation of a fluorescence-based multiplex PCR for the laboratory confirmation of common bacterial pathogens.
A fluorescence-based multiplex PCR was automated for the simultaneous detection of Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in clinical samples from patients with suspected meningitis. Sensitivity of one to two genome copies per 100 microl sample and specificity of 100% for each organism were shown. Automation of DNA extraction, liquid handling, PCR and analys...
