Direct identification of major blood culture pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, by a panel of fluorescence in situ hybridization assays using peptide nucleic acid probes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rapid identification of four major pathogens from 1,231 positive blood cultures by fluorescence in situ hybridization with peptide nucleic acid probes (AdvanDx Inc., Woburn, Mass.) was evaluated. For Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans results agreed with conventional identification. The lower sensitivity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa assay should not compromise the utility of the four assays.

Identification of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in blood cultures: a multicenter performance evaluation of a three-color peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization assay.
A multicenter evaluation was undertaken to evaluate the performance of a new three-color peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization assay that identifies isolates directly from blood cultures positive for Gram-negative bacilli (GNB). The assay correctly identified 100% (186/186) of the Escherichia coli isolates, 99.1% (109/110) of the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, and 95.8% (46/4...

A new chemiluminescent in situ hybridization (CISH) method provides simultaneous detection, identification, and enumeration of culturable Escherichia coli cells in 100 ml of municipal water within one working day. Following filtration and 5 h of growth on tryptic soy agar at 35 degrees C, individual microcolonies of E. coli were detected directly on a 47-mm-diameter membrane filter using soybea...

Sepsis is a serious clinical condition that is characterized by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from a known or suspected infection. The major clinical symptoms involve an abnormal WBC count, elevated body temperature, respiration and pulse rate. Reported cases with high mortality rate range between 13 20 million. In order to treat Sepsis, the detection of bacteria in blood ...
متن کاملRapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus in blood cultures by a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization using peptide nucleic acid probes and flow cytometry.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using peptide nucleic acid probes (PNAs) allows the identification of Staphylococcus aureus from human blood culture samples. We present data revealing that the combination of PNA FISH and flow cytometry is a possible approach for the noncultural identification of staphylococci in blood cultures.

The utility of peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA FISH) for the detection of Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated on broth suspensions and spiked blood cultures of ATCC strains and clinical isolates with select gram-negative rods. After testing 60 clinical isolates, PNA FISH had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 100%, respectively, for Ac...
