Rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus in blood cultures by a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization using peptide nucleic acid probes and flow cytometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using peptide nucleic acid probes (PNAs) allows the identification of Staphylococcus aureus from human blood culture samples. We present data revealing that the combination of PNA FISH and flow cytometry is a possible approach for the noncultural identification of staphylococci in blood cultures.

Direct identification of major blood culture pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, by a panel of fluorescence in situ hybridization assays using peptide nucleic acid probes.
Rapid identification of four major pathogens from 1,231 positive blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization with peptide nucleic acid probes (AdvanDx Inc., Woburn, Mass.) was evaluated. For Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans results agreed with conventional identification. The lower sensitivity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa assay should not compromise the ut...
متن کاملEvaluation of three rapid methods for the direct identification of Staphylococcus aureus from positive blood cultures.
Staphylococci represent the most commonly encountered blood culture isolates. Differentiating Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is important in guiding empirical therapy, especially since the majority of CoNS are contaminants. This study evaluated three rapid methods for the direct identification of S. aureus from blood cultures. A total of 157 patient blood cul...
متن کاملRapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistance by flow cytometry using a peptide nucleic acid probe.
A total of 56 Staphylococcus aureus isolates incubated for 2 h in the presence or absence of oxacillin were analyzed by flow cytometry after labeling with an S. aureus-specific peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe. Two defined ratios, the paired signal count ratio (PSCR) and the gate signal count ratio (GSCR), differentiated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aure...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization using peptide nucleic acid probes (PNA-FISH) differentiates Staphylococcus aureus from other Gram-positive-cocci in clusters (GPCC). 101/202 patients with GPCC+ blood cultures were randomly assigned to clinician-notification of PNA FISH results. Notification was associated with reduced mortality (8% vs.17%, p = 0.05), further antibiotic use (median -2.5 days, ...

Purpose Rapid identification of pathogens causing endophthalmitis may improve treatment outcomes through early administration of species-specific medication. The current study reports a new molecular application of peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH) with Staphylococcus-specific molecular PNA probes for the potential rapid detection of common pathogens causing end...
