Colorimetric microwell plate reverse-hybridization assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection.
Direct smear examination using Ziehl-Neelsen staining for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) diagnosis is inexpensive and easy to use, but has the major limitation of low sensitivity. Rapid molecular methods are becoming more widely available in centralized laboratories, but they depend on timely reporting of results and strict quality assurance obtainable only from costly commercial kits available i...
متن کاملSimple colorimetric microtiter plate hybridization assay for detection of amplified Mycobacterium leprae DNA.
The detection of amplified products resulting from polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) remains a complicated process. To simplify the detection procedures, we developed a colorimetric microtiter plate hybridization assay for the specific detection of 5'-biotinylated PCR fragments of Mycobacterium leprae DNA. For this assay, an M. leprae DNA capture probe was made and immobilized on the wells of a...
متن کاملDetection of rifampin-resistant genotypes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by reverse hybridization assay.
We used a colorimetric reverse dot blot hybridization (CRDH) assay to detect the presence of mutations in a specific region of the rpoB gene, associated with rifampin (RIF) resistance, in a panel of 156 DNAs extracted from 103 RIF-sensitive and 53 RIF-resistant cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When compared with the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST), the sensitivity and specificity...
متن کاملRapid detection of human rhinoviruses in nasopharyngeal aspirates by a microwell reverse transcription-PCR-hybridization assay.
A rapid and sensitive microwell reverse transcription (RT)-PCR-hybridization assay was developed to detect human rhinoviruses in clinical specimens and cell culture suspensions. Two hundred three nasopharyngeal aspirates collected from children with symptoms of respiratory disease were analyzed by a classical rolling-tube cell culture method, microwell culture of HeLa Ohio cell monolayers, and ...
متن کاملMicrowell hybridization assay for detection of PCR products from Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the recombinant Mycobacterium smegmatis strain 1008 used as an internal control.
A microwell hybridization assay was developed for the detection of the PCR products from both Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria and the recombinant Mycobacterium smegmatis strain 1008 that is used as an internal control to monitor inhibition in the PCR based on the M. tuberculosis complex-specific insertion sequence IS6110. The test is based on specific detection with digoxigenin-labe...
