Abstract

Testing 35 Mycobacteria tuberculosis strains isolated from patients for drug sensitivity on the Löwenstein-Yersen, Middlebrook 7 H11 midia and by using the polymerase chain reaction demonstrated a correlations of the results obtained by these methods. In laboratory practice, the use of all possible of guidelines for testing Mycobacteria tuberculosis for drug sensitivity.

Transposition of Tn4560 of Streptomyces fradiae in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Tn4560 (8.6 kb) was derived from Tn4556, a Tn3-like element from Streptomyces fradiae. It contains a viomycin resistance gene that has not been used previously for selection in mycobacteria. Tn4560, cloned in a Streptomyces plasmid, was introduced by electroporation into Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155. Tn4560 transposed into the host genome: there was no obvious target sequence preference, and insertions were in or near several conserved open reading frames. The insertions were located far apart on different AseI macrorestriction fragments. Unexpectedly, the transposon delivery plasmid, pUC1169, derived from the Streptomyces multicopy plasmid pIJ101, replicated partially in M. smegmatis, but was lost spontaneously during subculture. Replication of pUC1169 probably contributed to the relatively high efficiency of Tn4560 delivery: up to 28% of the potential M. smegmatis transformants acquired a stable transposon insertion. The data indicated that Tn4560 may be useful for random mutagenesis of M. smegmatis.

Nested PCR for diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis and PCR-SSCP for identification of rifampicin resistance in fine-needle aspirates.

An accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis and multidrug resistance is important for the control of tuberculosis, which remains a major public health problem. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has provided an alternative tool for bacterial examination. This study was performed to investigate the usefulness of one-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-SSCP as a routine test for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin-resistant strain in FNA. Ziehl-Neelsen stain (Z-N) and PCR were processed using the aspirates of tuberculous lymphadenitis for the detection of M. tuberculosis. PCR-SSCP was done for the identification of rpoB mutation. M. tuberculosis was detected in 49/63 (77.8%) by PCR and 25/63 (39.7%) by Z-N. There were 26 cases with PCR(+)/Z-N(-) and two cases with PCR(-)/Z-N(+). Twelve cases showed negativity against both. In 7/22 (31.8%), rpoB mutation was observed. In conclusion, PCR is more sensitive in the detection of M. tuberculosis in FNA than Z-N. PCR-SSCP could also be used in FNA in the prediction of multidrug resistance.
