RESUMO

PURPOSE: Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Mycoplasma hominis (MH), the three most common treatable bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide can lead to many complications if remain untreated. Screening of high-risk population with highly sensitive methods will lead to significant improvement in patient outcomes and will prevent downward transmission. The advantages of Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based assay are not only high sensitivity and specificity, but also detection of multiple organisms in a single reaction which reduce the result turn-around time. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of a multiplex PCR assay method targeting 16S rRNA gene for simultaneous detection of NG, CT and MH infection along with their trend and occurrence among high-risk population in Assam, Northeast India. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was undertaken, where a total of 200 randomly selected patients from high-risk population were included. After validation of singleplex PCR, Multiplex PCR (M-PCR) was performed along with the traditional culture method for NG. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: The overall agreement of M-PCR with singleplex PCR was very high (100%). The occurrence of STI was found to be very high (101/200; 50.5%). Furthermore, co-infection was detected in 10/200; 5%) individuals. Infection was more common among young individuals (p < 0.05) and males out-numbered females (p < 0.05). The most common organism detected was CT (42/200; 21%) followed by NG (41/200; 20.5%) and MH (20/200; 10%). The M-PCR assay workflow is simple, cost effective and can be used in routine diagnostic laboratories with basic molecular facilities.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human respiratory tract pathogen causing pneumococcal diseases in majority of children and adults. The capsule is a significant virulence factor of Pneumococci which determines the bacterial serotype and is the component used for synthesis of pneumococcal vaccines. This cross-sectional study aimed to isolate Streptococcus pneumoniae from clinical samples and determine the occurrence of its circulating serotypes in Assam, North East India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 80 clinical samples were collected from June 2019 to May 2020 from patients clinically suspected from pneumococcal infection and also included samples routinely sent to bacteriology laboratory. Isolation and identification of S. pneumoniae was performed using conventional culture and molecular methods. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were monitored. Capsular serotyping was performed using PCR of cpsA gene followed by DNA sequencing. RESULTS: Majority of the cases suspected of pneumococcal infection belong to the paediatric group aged less than 5 years. Out of 80 samples, 10 (12.50%) were found to be positive by PCR of recP gene. Culture was positive in 80% (8/10) of the total positives. Co-trimoxazole resistance was seen in 33.33% of the isolate from sputum. Serotypes 6A, 6B, 6C and 19F were detected in our region, out of which 6C is a non-vaccine serotype. CONCLUSION: Continued surveillance is needed to monitor trends in non-vaccine serotypes that may emerge as highly associated with antibiotic resistance. Also, the need to continuous monitoring of the antibiotic susceptibility of S. pneumoniae in North eastern parts of India is of outmost importance.
