Use of a panfungal PCR assay for detection of fungal pathogens in a commercial blood culture system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A panfungal PCR assay was used to evaluate the ability of the ESP blood culture system to detect fungemia. The results showed that the ESP system is reliable for the detection of fungi and showed the applicability of using a molecular-based assay as a potential rapid and reliable method for the identification of fungi.

Background and purpose: Fungemia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients such as severe burns. Due to low sensitivity and long turnaround time of the traditional biphasic BHI blood culture to detect fungemia we aimed to detect fungal elements in blood culture of these patients suspected with invasive fungal disease (IFDs) using panfungal PCR assay. ...
متن کاملPanfungal PCR assay for detection of fungal infection in human blood specimens.
A novel panfungal PCR assay which detects the small-subunit rRNA gene sequence of the two major fungal organism groups was used to test whole-blood specimens obtained from a series of blood or bone marrow transplant recipients. The 580-bp PCR product was identified after amplification by panfungal primers and hybridization to a 245-bp digoxigenin-labeled probe. The lower limit of detection of t...
متن کاملDevelopment and clinical application of a panfungal PCR assay to detect and identify fungal DNA in tissue specimens.
Given the rise in the incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and the expanding spectrum of fungal pathogens, early and accurate identification of the causative pathogen is essential. We developed a panfungal PCR assay that targets the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region of the ribosomal DNA gene cluster to detect fungal DNA in fresh and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (PE) tis...

The role of panfungal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for diagnosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) is inadequately defined. We describe the use of an internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) region-directed panfungal PCR in this context at a tertiary referral transplant center. A retrospective review of patients at Alfred Health, Melbourne, Australia (2009-2014) who had clinical samples r...

Background: Salmonella is one of the most common food-borne pathogens that can cause illness. In this study, the sensitivity and the specificity of Aptamer-Magnetic bead Separation-Polymerase Chain Reaction (AMS-PCR) method were determined for Salmonella spp. detection. Methods: Different concentrations of Salmonella enterica were mixed with streptavidin-magnetic beads coated with biotinylated...
