hsp65 PCR-restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) for identification of mycobacteria in the clinical laboratory

Abstract: SUMMARYMore than 70 species of mycobacteria have been defined, and some can cause disease in humans, especially in immunocompromised patients. Species identification in most clinical laboratories is based on phenotypic characteristics and biochemical tests and final results are obtained only after two to four weeks. Quick identification methods, by reducing time for diagnosis, could expedite institution of specific treatment, increasing chances of success. PCR restriction-enzyme analysis (PRA) of the hsp65 gen… Show more

“…In Brazil, the PRA-hsp65 technique proposed by Telenti et al 13 , and Devallois et al 14 has enabled the identifi cation of several species of NTM, the results of which correlated well with those from biochemical identification [13][14][15][16][17] . Beyond the molecular techniques, the sequencing of the specifi c genes rpoB and hsp65 has become the gold standard for identifying mycobacteria 18,19 .…”

“…En conclusión, el PCR-análisis de restricción es una alternativa para la identificación de especies de micobacterias no tuberculosas, rápida, económica y segura para la identificación de micobacterias patógenas y potencialmente patógenas, (17). La determinación del subtipo de cada especie de micobacterias no tuberculosas identificada es importante debido a la diferencia en la virulencia de cada subtipo y a la capacidad de producir enfermedad en el humano, como se ha establecido para M. abscessus y M. avium (29,30).…”
