Abstract:

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major species of mycoplasmas which could contaminate cell cultures. Identification of M. pneuminae is significant because Mycoplasmas could contaminate and have unsuitable effect on the cell cultures. Rapid detection of these contaminations is so important and it could be significant role in preventing and controlling of contamination in cell cultures. The aim of this study is isolation and detection of M .pneumoniae by culture and PCR. 82 cell cultures collected and cultured in PPLO broth media supplemented for M. pnemoniae isolation. Methods: The bacteria DNAs were extracted by phenol/chloroform method and the PCR assay amplifying the conserved region of 16S rRNA gene was applied for the detection of Mycoplasma genus in 163bp fragment and M. pnemoniae in 543bp fragment by using of MPF and MPR primers which obtained from P1 adhesin gen. Results: Of the 82 samples 48(58.5%) yielded one of the potentially pathogenic Mycoplasmas evaluated for using Mycoplasma genus PCR as diagnostic method, and from 48 samples which were positive in genus of Mycoplasma, M. pneumoniae did not detect  from those sample by using those primers and there is not any M. pnemoniae detected in this study. Conclusion: Also results of this study indicate that PCR could be an alternative method instead of the culture because according to the results of this study, PCR has high accuracy and speed for detecting M. pneumoniae.

SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION OF CHLAMYDIA PNEUlvlONIAE AND MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE BY PCR

Both C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae are common causes of respiratory tract infection. At present, both are still diagnosed in the laboratory retrospectively by serology. This is despite many publications which indicate that PCR, which is not retrospective, is extremely good at detecting these organisms. We thought that a single PCR test which could detect both organisms simultaneously in a...

Isolation and identification of Mycoplasma agalactiae by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from sheep of Qom province, Iran

Contagious agalactia (C.A) is an infectious syndrome of sheep that is characterized by mastitis and subsequent failure of milk production, arthritis, abortion and keratoconjunctivitis. Mycoplasma agalactiae (M. agalactiae) is the main cause of the disease in sheep. The aim of this study was isolation and identification of M. agalactiae with culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay from...

Isolation and Identification of L. plantarum from Iranian Fermented Cucumbers by Conventional Culture and PCR Methods

The species of Lactobacillus are widely present in many natural environments that areimportant in fermented processes. Among these species some belong to the lactic acid bacteria group that areuseful in fermented food. One of the species of lactobacilli group such as L. plantarum provides health benefits,but their identification is one of the main issue. In order to proceed with this project, c...

Using PCR and culture methods for Mycoplasma testing

Mycoplasma contaminants can be considered important not only for their roles as pathogens but also they may indicate that insufficient care has been taken during vaccine manufacture or quality control. The purpose of this study was to test the poliomyelitis vaccines for Mycoplasma by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. During 2008 to 2009, a total of 47 lots of oral poliomyelit...
