ResumenObjetivo. comparar el comportamiento de tres genes diana 16S ADNr, polA, y TpN47, para la detección de T. pallidum subsp. Pallidum. Métodos. Se usaron técnicas moleculares como la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa en muestras de cordón umbilical . Mediante PCR convencional, PCR anidada y PCR en tiempo real se amplificaron blancos moleculares del microorganismo. Resultados. Se evidenció que con los tres genes por PCR convencional se obtienen similares resultados, pero por con PCR anidada y PCR en Tiempo Real, el gen TpN47 tiene mayor sensibilidad en comparación con los genes polA y 16S ADNr. Se concluye que el gen TpN47 se puede usar como blanco molecular para el diagnóstico oportuno de sífilis congénita por medio de PCR anidada y en tiempo real, ya que alcanzó la máxima sensibilidad y especificidad en este estudio.Palabras clave: Sífilis congénita, Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, PCR anidada, PCR en Tiempo Real. AbstractObjective. To compare the behavior of the three target genes (16S rDNA, polA, and TpN47) for the detection of T. pallidum subsp. Pallidum. Methods. Molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction were used on samples of an umbilical cord. Molecular targets of the microorganism were amplified by means of conventional PCR, nested PCR and real-time PCR. Results. Similar results for the three genes were obtained by conventional PCR; but in the case of nested PCR and real-time PCR, the gen TpN47 exhibited higher sensitivity in comparison to the genes polA and 16S rDNA. In conclusion, the gen TpN47 can be used as a molecular target for the prompt diagnosis of congenital syphilis through nested PCR and real-time PCR due to its high sensitivity and specificity shown in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
