Rapid molecular detection of macrolide resistance in the Mycobacterium avium complex: are we there yet?
Macrolides are an important tool in the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex infections. Here, we evaluate the use of 23S rRNA gene sequencing for the rapid detection of macrolide resistance. Routine sequencing of the 23S rRNA gene is highly specific for macrolide resistance but lacks in sensitivity.
متن کاملRapid molecular techniques for detection of foodborne Bacillus cereus pathogen
Background and Objective: Bacillus cereus is responsible for several outbreaks of foodborne diseases. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to replace routine culture testing, by employing PCR directly from food to detect the bacteria and its enterotoxins. Methods: In the present study, a total of 75 Kibda sandwiches, Sausage sandwiches, Luncheon chicken, Luncheon meat and shawarma sandwiche...
متن کاملRapid detection of mutations associated with macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium avium complex.
Macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium avium can be detected with an adaption of a commercially available RNA/RNA duplex mismatch assay (Ambion, Austin, Tex.). The sensitivity and specificity values for the assay were 100% when evaluated against 41 macrolide-resistant and -susceptible strains of M. avium. Resistant subpopulations of approximately 20% could be readily detected. The assay is simpl...
متن کاملRapid molecular detection of tuberculosis and rifampin resistance.
BACKGROUND Global control of tuberculosis is hampered by slow, insensitive diagnostic methods, particularly for the detection of drug-resistant forms and in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Early detection is essential to reduce the death rate and interrupt transmission, but the complexity and infrastructure needs of sensitive methods limit their accessibility and effect. ...
متن کاملMacrolide resistance in Staphylococcus aureus: inducers of macrolide resistance.
Several macrolide-, lincosamide-, and streptogramin B-type (MLS) antibiotics were tested as inducers of erythromycin A (EM)-resistant [(14)C]leucine incorporation. Only 14-membered-ring macrolides having a glycosidically linked 6-deoxy sugar at the C-3 position of the lactone ring and the structurally dissimilar lincosamide, celesticetin, showed inducer activity. Modifications of EM at the C-4'...
