ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of NG-Test Carba5 for rapid detection of carbapenemases produced by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) strains. Methods:A total of 1 210 CRE strains were collected during 2018-2022 from 77 hospitals in 21 provinces of China and were subjected to NG-Test Carba5 for rapid detection of carbapenemase. The whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis was referenced as the gold standard method.Results:Overall, the NG-Test Carba5 demonstrated excellent performance in detection of five kinds of carbapenemases [Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), imipenemase metallo-β-lactamase (IMP), Verona integron-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase (VIM) and oxacillinase-48-type carbapenemases(OXA-48)] from CRE strains, with a sensitivity of 98.47% (1 161/1 179), specificity of 100% (31/31), and positive predictive value of 100% (1 161/1 161). The sensitivity for detection of NDM, IMP, OXA and VIM reached 100% (307/307), and 97.70% (763/781) for KPC. For 11 strains carrying blaKPC-25, blaKPC-78, or blaKPC-93, NG-Test Carba5 reported positive KPC detection (11/11). For strains carrying blaKPC-33 and blaKPC-77, however, NG-Test Carba5 delivered negative results. Additionally, for those strains co-producing two or three kinds of carbapenemases, NG-Test Carba5 was able to report all of the targets with a sensitivity of 100% (91/91). Conclusions:NG-Test Carba5 showed excellent performance in rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemases from CRE strains. Nonetheless, for those strains with negative results, some other phenotypic and genotypic methods should be implemented alongside to avoid missing targets.

ABSTRACT

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid detection technique that allows researchers to move the antigen-antibody reaction from a test tube or laboratory vessel to a test strip. Due to the chromatographic effect of the test strip, the solution would move to a specified direction based on the test and complete the whole antigen-antibody specific reaction. A qualitative judgment can be made with the naked eye by observing the color change of the reagent strip at a specific location. Because of its advantages of being fast, simple, specific, inexpensive, and requiring no specialized personnel, LFIA is now widely used in medical testing, food quality monitoring, environmental monitoring, agriculture and animal husbandry. A major bottleneck for the development of LFIA technology is the hook effect. This paper summarizes the current methods, means and research progresses to combat the hook effect, hoping to provide a strong technical reference for researchers to design test strips, select suitable nanoparticles, and achieve quantitative LFIA detection.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the limit of detection(LOD),sensitivity and specificity of collodial gold immunochrom-atography(GICA)products purchased from two manufacturers under special environmental conditions.Methods The sensitivity and specificity of GICA made in InTec Products, INC.and Beijing WANTAI Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co., LTD.for detecting HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-Treponema pallidum(TP)serum samples were evaluated under different conditions(conventional facilities,simulated hot and humid environments and simulated low pressure and hypoxia environments)according to the protocol of kits.LOD was estimated by detecting the standard materials obtained from the National Center for Clinical Laboratory(NCCL)of China.Results LOD for syphilis improved from 2 NCU to 1 NCU using GICA from InTec Products in hot and humid environments.The extreme conditions did not influence the specificity of GICA from the two manufacturers in the course of detection of clinical samples,but the sensitivity of detection was affected.For InTec Products,the sensitivity of hepatitis B virus and syphilis detection was improved in hot and humid environments,but was reduced in low pressure and hypoxia environments.In addition,the sensitivity of hepatitis C virus detection by InTec Products decreased in hot and humid environments.As for WANTAI products,the sensitivity of hepatitis B virus detection was reduced under extreme conditions and that of hepatitis C virus was only influenced by hot and humid environments. Interestingly, extreme conditions had no impact on the sensitivity of syphilis.Conclusion LOD of InTec Products is better than that of the WANTAI products for detection of standard materials from blood-borne diseases.In the process of detecting clinical samples,the sensitivity of the two manufacturers′GICA is influenced by extreme conditions, with the specificity unchanged.Overall, WANTAI products are more stable than those of InTec, and are also less influenced by extreme conditions.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the sensitivity and specificity of gold-immunochromatography assay (GICA) for detection of Yersiniapestis(Y. pestis ) F1 antigen. Methods Viscera organ(liver and spleen) specimens of 308 mice with virulent Y. pestis infection and 225 control specimens of rats(217 Spermophilus dauricus, 5 mice,3 guinea pigs) were detected by GICA dipstick with monoclonal antibody against plague F1 antigen (F1MAb).Meanwhile, micro-method of reverse indirect hemagglutination assay(RIHA) and bacteria culture were carried out for parallel testing. Results Bacteriological examination of 225 control specimens, and F1 antigen detected with GICA and RIHA were all negative. No cross-reaction with related Yersinia pseudotuberculosis at 1 x 108 cfu/ml level was found in GICA and RIHA. Detection sensitivity of Y. pestis by GICA and RIHA were 2.5 × 105 cfu/ml and 2.0 × 105 cfu/ml, respectively, and of F1 antigen were 1μg/L and 10 μg/L, respectively. Coincidence was 97.94% (522/533) between GICA and bacteriological test, Kappa = 0.959, and the difference was statistically insignificant(x2 = 0.36, P > 0.05); and 97.94%(522/533) between GICA and RIHA, Kappa = 0.959, with statistically significant difference in the positive detection rates(x2 = 9.09, P < 0.05). Out of the 308 infected mice, 284 were positive of plague bacterial cultured, In 284 samples with positive bacterial culture, there were 280 of positive detected by GICA for F1 antigen, positive rate of F1 antigen was 98.59%, higher than that by RIHA[the positive rate of 96.13%(522/533)], with statistically significant difference(x2 = 5.14, P < 0.05). Sensitivity of GICA was 98.59% (280/284), specificity was 97.19% (242/249), positive predictive value (PPV) was 97.56% (280/287),negative predictive value ( NPV ) was 98.37% (242/246), and Youden index was 0.9578.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish hybridization method by using the DNA-modified colloid gold nanopartieles probes for rapid and specified detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods DNA-modified nanoparticles probes were prepared by using two mereapto-modified mecA gene-specific oligonucleotide probes bounding with 6Ohm-diameter colloid gold nanoparticles through covalent binding. Genomic DNA of Staphylococcus aureus strains were extracted and then fragmented by ultrasonic waves. The fragmentized DNA was hybridized with the DNA-modified colloid gold nanoparticles probes. The reaction products were centrifuged and then detected by reversed-phase thinlayer chromatography plate to observe any colloid gold nanoparticles precipitation. The results of mecA gene detected by the colloid gold nanoparticles probes hybridization were compared with the results of PCR and the accuracy of the hybridization method was evaluated. Results Of total 95 tested strains, 71 strains were confirmed as MRSA and 24 swains were confirmed as methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) by PCR. Of 71 MRSA strains, 69 strains were positive by colloid gold nanoparticles probes hybridization, the sensitivity of this method was 97.2%. All of the 24 MSSA strains were negative by using this technique. The specificity of this method was 100%. Of total 95 test strains ,93 strains were detected correctly. The accuracy was 97.9%. Conclusions Colloid gold nanoparticles probes hybridization test is well consistent with the gold standard method of PCR in detection of MRSA. Detection of MRSA by using the technique of the DNA-modified colloid gold nanopartichs probes hybridization is rapid, simple and accurate. It is potent to be a new method for rapid diagnosis of MRSA infection.
