Abstract:
Objective To improve the speed and accuracy of bacteria detection, and develop the test of 16S rRNA genes PCR amplification plus gene chip hybridization to diagnose neonatal sepsis. Methods Bacterial 16S rRNA genes were detected in blood and CSF samples of 125 suspected neonatal sepsis, and the results were compared with blood culture, CSF culture, and non-specific diagnostic parameters (WBC, PLT, CRP). 30 non-infectious neonates were regarded as the negative control group. Gene chip test were performed by extraction of DNA, primers and probes design, PCR amplification, preparation of gene chip, hybridization, laser scan and reading of the results. 18 specific probes, including universal 1, universal 2, Gram positive bacterial probe, Gram negative bacterial probe 1, Gram negative bacterial probe 2, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, CoNS (Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus), Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacillus, Meningococcus, Corynebacterium, Propionibacterium, were used in the test. Results The positive rate of PCR test was 51.2% in 125 blood samples, and was significantly higher than the positive blood culture (25.6%), or the indicator of two abnormal non-specific parameters (32.8%) (P
