Streptococcus agalactiae or group B (GBS) is one of the most important causal agents serious neonatal infections. Numerous assays have been evaluated for GBS screening in order to validate a fast and efficient method. The aim this study was compare culture technique (established as gold standard) with molecular method polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specific primers (atr gene). Two hundred sixty-three samples were analyzed. Vaginal collected, according Centers Disease Control Prevention...
To evaluate the susceptibility patterns among Streptococcus pneumoniae recovered during years 2010-2012 and to correlate these with serotypes.Pneumococci from invasive sites were serotyped by sequential multiplex PCR and/or Quellung reaction. Etest strips used determine minimal inhibitory concentrations, Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines for interpretation. Genetic determinants of macrolide resistance assessed PCR, occurrence D phenotype was analyzed following...

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) persists as a severe global public health issue.The aim of the present study was to evaluate performance an in-house TB PCR (polymerase chain reaction) in sputum.Methods: DNA from sputum specimens were submitted nested-PCR protocol for IS6110 region detection.PCR results compared those traditional methods diagnosis, i.e., acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy and culture.We analyzed samples obtained 133 patients.Results: A total 48 (36%) cultures yielded...
HIGHLIGHTS MALDI-TOF is a feasible technique and presents low cost of reagents. It can be used for the reliable differentiation B. cenocepacia from other Bcc. Molecular techniques require highly qualified workforce demand time. identified all specimens at genus level 96.2% to species level.
