Identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria isolated from hospital water by sequence analysis of the hsp65 and 16S rRNA genes

Abstract: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as an important cause of opportunistic nosocomial infections. NTM has frequently been isolated from hospital water distribution systems. The aim of this study was to survey the risk of NTM infections and determine the prevalence of NTM species in the hospital water distribution systems in Tabriz, Iran. One hundred and twenty samples of water from different sources of Tabriz hospitals were collected. The samples were filtered through 0.45-µm pore size membranes and… Show more

“…However, considering the diversity in species composition and largely unknown epidemiology of NTM in China, diagnosis using anti-GPL IgA needs to be investigated in the future. The molecular identification including genes (rpoB, hsp65, 16S rRNA and ITS region) sequencing rely on a large number of the strains, and should be performed based on a positive culture [22][23][24] . LPA and GeneXpert assays (detecting MTB/RIF) could differentiate MTB and NTM with considerable specificity and sensitivity in a broad range of sample sources, but it has not been applied commonly in primary hospitals because of requiring special equipment 25 .…”

“…If the mass spectrometry identifications at the species and genus levels were inconsistent with the results of 16S rDNA sequencing, then the mass spectrometry results were considered incorrect. The 16S rRNA genes of all bacteria were sequenced, along with dnaJ , sodA , tuf , or ropB for Gram-positive cocci [ 30 , 31 ]; ropB , gyrB , recA , or cpn60 for Gram-negative bacteria [ 30 , 32 ]; and ropB , gyrB , SecA1 , or hsp65 for Gram-positive bacilli [ 30 , 33 ]. For yeasts, the internal transcribed spacer located between the nuclear 18S and 26S rRNA genes was sequenced [ 30 ].…”
