abstract

the identification of mycobacteria in the species level has great medical importance. biochemical tests are laborious and time-consuming, so new techniques could be used to identify the species. this research aimed to the comparison of biochemical and sequencing 16s rdna gene methods to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria in patients suspected to tuberculosis in golestan province which is the most prevalent region of tuberculosis in iran. among 3336 patients suspected to tuberculosis referred to hospitals and health care centres in golestan province during 2010-2011, 319 (9.56%) culture positive cases were collected. identification of species by using biochemical tests was done. on the samples recognized as nontuberculous mycobacteria, after dna extraction by boiling, 16s rdna pcr was done and their sequencing were identified by ncbi blast. of the 319 positive samples in golestan province, 300 cases were m.tuberculosis and 19 cases (5.01%) were identified as nontuberculous mycobacteria by biochemical tests. 15 out of 19 nontuberculous mycobacteria were identified by pcr and sequencing method as similar by biochemical methods (similarity rate: 78.9%). but after pcr, 1 case known as m.simiae by biochemical test was identified as m. lentiflavum and 3 other cases were identified as nocardia. biochemical methods corresponded to the 16s rdna pcr and sequencing in 78.9% of cases. however, in identification of m. lentiflavum and nocaria sp. the molecular method is better than biochemical methods.

Isolation and characterization of Brachyspira species based on biochemical scheme and 16S rDNA partial sequencing

Avian intestinal spirochetosis (AIS) is a disease of birdscharacterized by a marked colonization of the cecum and/or rectumwith anaerobic intestinal bacteria of the genus Brachyspira. Thepurpose of the study was to determine the occurrence of Brachyspiraspp from avian sources in Iran and to characterize selected isolates bybiochemical and molecular methods. Out of 165 fecal samples obtained fro...

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

Molecular Identification of Rare Clinical Mycobacteria by Application of 16S-23S Spacer Region Sequencing

Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...
