Abstract:
Objective To establish a rapid and accurate method for the identification of Mycobacterium species by the gene microarray and to verify its clinical application value .Methods According to the gene sequence of 23 species of Mycobacteria ,the specific probes were designed and the gene chips were prepared .23 Mycobacterial standard strains ,9 non‐mycobacterial strains ,103 clinically isolated mycobacterial strains were detected by PCR‐based reverse blot hybridization assay in the gene chip .Results 23 mycobacterial standard strains ,9 non‐mycobacterial strains were detected by gene chip ,the results showed that the specificity was 100% .Of 103 mycobacterial clinically isolated strains ,87 strains were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis compounds (MTC) and 16 strains as non‐tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM ) including 5 strains of M .abscessus ,3 strains of M .intracellulare ,3 strains of M .avium ,2 strains of M .fortuitum ,1 strain of M .kansas ,1 strain of M .marinum and 1 strain of M .gordonae .The identification results of 103 clinically isolated strains were completely consistent with the sequencing results .The lowest detection limit by this method was 103 copies/mL .Conclusion The gene microarray technique for rapidly identifying Mycobacteria and differentiate MTC and NTM has the advantages of simpleness ,rapidness ,high accuracy ,high specificity and high sensitivity .
