Identification of mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography.

چکیده
Mycolic acids extracted from saponified mycobacterial cells were examined as p-bromophenacyl esters by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Standard HPLC patterns were developed for species of Mycobacterium by examination of strains from culture collections and other well-characterized isolates. Relative retention times of peaks and peak height comparisons were used to develop a differentiation scheme that was 98% accurate for the species examined. A rapid, cost-effective HPLC method which offers an alternative approach to the identification of mycobacteria is described.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in hospital water systems: application of HPLC for identification of environmental mycobacteria.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), ubiquitous in water environments, are increasingly recognized as nosocomial pathogens. Our study reports a one-year survey of the water system of two hospitals, A and B, in a small town near Florence, Italy. NTM were found throughout the study period in both settings, but B showed a significantly higher mycobacterial load. Mycobacterium gordonae and Mycobacter...
متن کاملMycolic acid analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography for identification of Mycobacterium species.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiologic agent of tuberculosis and can be accurately detected by laboratories using commercial genetic tests. Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) causing other mycobacterioses can be difficult to identify. The identification processes are confounded by an increasing diversity of newly characterized NTM species. The ubiquitous nature of NTM, combined with their ...
متن کاملIdentification and Analysis of the Migration of Primary Aromatic Amines from Flexible Food Packaging by High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Background and Objectives: Primary Aromatic Amines (PAAs) are contaminants that can migrate from food flexible packaging. The main origin of these compounds is polyurethane adhesives used in the laminating process of multilayer films. Residual aromatic di-isocyanates of the reaction of adhesive polymerization migrate into the food, and are hydrolyzed to PAAs by the moisture of food. 2,4- and 2,...

Primary cultures of mycobacteria grown in BACTEC 7H12B medium (Becton Dickinson and Co., Paramus, N.J.), with and without the addition of oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-catalase (OADC) enrichment (Becton Dickinson and Co., Cockeysville, Md.), were analyzed for their mycolic acid patterns by high-performance liquid chromatography. Of the 126 isolates grown in medium to which OADC was added, 117 (93...
متن کاملRapid identification of mycolic acid patterns of mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography using pattern recognition software and a Mycobacterium library.
Current methods for identifying mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) require a visual assessment of the generated chromatographic data, which often involves time-consuming hand calculations and the use of flow charts. Our laboratory has developed a personal computer-based file containing patterns of mycolic acids detected in 45 species of Mycobacterium, including both s...
