A quantitative real-time 5′-nuclease (Taqman) PCR technique was developed to specifically detect Mycobacterium immunogenum. rpoB-specific primers and Taqman probe were evaluated for detection of M. immunogenum DNA extracted from pure cultures and from industrial metal working fluids (MWFs). Specificity was confirmed and the sensitivity of detection of M. immunogenum genomic DNA was shown to be approximately 9 fg (2 cell equivalents). When tested on industrial metal working fluids from the UK and USA from which no M. immunogenum CFU were recovered, the assay detected between 3.4 × 101 and 1.9 × 104 cell equivalents (CE) per ml, and increased the detection rate over culture to 37.5% (12 of 32 samples). This assay provides a specific, sensitive and rapid method for the detection of M. immunogenum and is applicable within industry for the early detection of this human pathogen and to the possible prevention of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in workers. 相似文献

Comparison of a multiplex-PCR assay with mycolic acids analysis and conventional methods for the identification of mycobacteria 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A fast, sensitive and cost-effective multiplex-PCR assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium avium (M. avium) identification for routine diagnosis was evaluated. A total of 158 isolates of mycobacteria from 448 clinical specimens from patients with symptoms of mycobacterial disease were analyzed. By conventional biochemical methods 151 isolates were identified as M. tuberculosis, five as M. avium and two as Mycobacterium chelonae (M. chelonae). Mycolic acid patterns confirmed these results. Multiplex-PCR detected only IS6110 in isolates identified as MTC, and IS1245 was found only in the M. avium isolates. The method applied to isolates from two patients, identified by conventional methods and mycolic acid analysis, one as M. avium and other as M. chelonae, resulted positive for IS6110, suggesting co-infection with M. tuberculosis. These patients were successfully submitted to tuberculosis treatment. The multiplex-PCR method may offer expeditious identification of MTC and M. avium, which may minimize risks for active transmission of these organisms and provide useful treatment information. 相似文献
