Because of the treatment of M. pneumonia

2、 infection with -lactam antibiotics is ineffective and the clinical manifestations of M. pneumoniae infection are complicated and nonspecific, so a rapid, sensitive and specific laboratory test is vital for early diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection. Conventional tests for detecting M. pneumoniae ha

The P1 adhesion gene and the 16SrRNA gene have been utilized widely in PCR techniques as the targets for detection

In this study, we sought to identify the more sensitive and specific target (P1 or 16SrRNA) in M. pneumoniae detection and to evaluate the use of nested PCR for the diagnosis of MP infection from patients in whom M. pneumoniae was suspected.,.,4,Materials and methods,Strains and c

11、agnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Both P1adhesion gene and 16SrRNA gene are widely used as targets for detection of M. pneumoniae by PCR. However, it is still inconclusive for which target is better and our effort is to find the most suitable one. In this study, we jointed orthogonal exper

12、iment and single factor tests to optimize several crucial conditions of nested PCR and finally concluded the optimum reaction conditions of the two targets. Then we detected the sensitivity of the two targets on the basis of the optimal conditions and the results showed that the 16SrRNA gene is more

13、 sensitive than the P1 adhesion gene. We also presented a study by using clinical specimens from adult patients and found that 16SrRNA gene has a higher positive rate than the P1 adhesion gene. So the 16SrRNA gene is the most excellent target for detection of M. pneumoniae by nested PCR.,.,13,discus

14、sion,In this study, we adopted nested PCR to compare the two targets. The superior sensitivity is the major advantage of nested PCR. The sensitivity can be increased by nested PCR because it involves the reamplification of a PCR product with a second primer set. Nested PCR may lead to a 103-fold inc

15、rease in sensitivity than single-step PCR, as nested PCR enables the detection of 1-100fg of DNA, and single-step PCR assays can only detect 10-100pg of DNA. Abele-Horn et al. can detect 30-100fg of M. pneumoniae DNA by nested PCR, and the sensitivity is 103-fold better than that for single-step PCR

16、 and exceeds that for antigen capture enzyme immunoassay and culture by 104- to 105-fold.,.,14,discussion,Although nested PCR is a rapid and sensitive method for early diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection, the impact of nested PCR reaction conditions is numerous and it is time-consuming to find the

17、optimal condition. What is more, only on the basis of the optimum conditions can obtain a more accurate and objective results. So we adopted the orthogonal array design to optimize several crucial factors affecting the nested PCR using the standard strain of M. pneumoniae, since orthogonal test desi

18、gn can greatly shorten the test number and can quickly arrive at a more appropriate reaction condition. Then we also utilized a completely single factor test design based on the results of the orthogonal design. At last, the final optimal reaction conditions of nested PCR are determined by integrate

19、d the results of the methods above, so the comparison of the P1 adhesion gene and the 16SrRNA gene primers under this optimal condition can be more objective than that of other laboratories.,.,15,discussion,In our study, Orthogonal array design was adopted to optimize four common factors affecting t

20、he nested PCR, which were the concentration of primers and Mg2+, dilution multiple of the first round PCR product, annealing temperature. All of them are the critical element in the performance of nested PCR. Firstly, through the test we found that excessively low primer concentration can reduce PCR

21、 yield and excessively high primer concentration increase the probability of mispriming and generations of non-specific PCR products. Secondly, form our experiments, If Mg2+ concentration was too low, the yield of PCR product could be reduced, since Tap DNA polymerases are Mg2+-dependent enzyme and

22、it is sensitive to the concentration of Mg2+. Thirdly, our results shows that poor specificity of amplified band appears at low annealing temperature, and weakened amplified bands at high annealing temperature. For the specificity of PCR mainly depends on annealing temperature and improve the anneal

23、ing temperature within a certain range can increase the specificity of the PCR reaction. Lastly, we also found that a lot of non-specific bands appear if not dilution, that was probably because the template concentration of second round of PCR is excessively high.,.,16,discussion,The sensitivity of

24、nested PCR was tested by using serial dilutions (1:10) of M. pneumoniae DNA, our results suggested that the 16SrRNA gene primers were more sensitive than the P1 adhesion gene primers, as the 16SrRNA gene primers can detect up to 0.1pg of M. pneumoniae DNA and the P1 gene primers can detect 1pg of M.

25、 pneumoniae DNA at most. Our findings are well confirmed to the study by Mohamed Nour et al, who found that the fragment intensity after visual inspection of gels was always higher with 16SrDNA primers than with those directed to P1 adhesion gene, this showed that the amplification of the 16SrRNA ge

26、ne by nested PCR were more sensitive for the detection of M. pneumoniae. This was mainly because the presence of approximately 103 copies of 16SrRNA per mycoplasma cell and the high degree of conservation of the rRNA genes allowing a highly fixation of primers on the target and lead to a higher PCR

27、yield. What is more, due to the RNA is destroyed more rapidly than the DNA after the death of the mycoplasma cell, detection of RNA provides further evidence of viable mycoplasmas in the specimen. K. Loens et al. thought that the P1adhesion gene primers were found to be more sensitive than the 16SrR

28、NA ones. However, they come to this conclusion merely by speculation, not to compare the both.,.,17,discussion,According to our results from clinical test, 16SrRNA gene proved clearly to be the best target for this purpose, yielding a positive PCR result in 56.3% of cases, while the positive rate was 43.6
