Tóm tắt

Rapid detection of a wide range of etiologic agents is essential for appropriate treatment and control of gastrointestinal (GI) infections. A variety of microbial species including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi have been recognized as diarrheagenic enteric pathogens. However, multiplex testing of various targets in a single reaction needs further improvement because of its limitation in species and throughput. This study aims at developing and evaluating a DNA microarray-based qualitative multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, Vibrant GI pathogen panel (GPP), for simultaneous detection of 27 enteric GI pathogenic targets (16 bacteria, 5 viruses, 4 parasites, and 2 fungi) directly from stool specimens. Limits of detection ranged from 102 to 104 cells/mL for bacteria, 102 to 103 cells/mL for parasites, 102 to 103 RNA copies/mL for viruses, and 102 to 103 cells/mL for fungi. Performance characteristics were determined using 27 Quantitative Genomic DNAs, 212 spiked stool specimens, 1067 clinical and archived stool specimens. Overall sensitivity was 95.9% (95% CI 92.4–98.1) and specificity was 100% (95% CI 99.9–100). Polymicrobial detections contained either two or three organisms was 20.2% (35/173) of positive clinical specimens and 3.3% (35/1055) of all clinical specimens. The Vibrant GPP is a comprehensive, high-throughput, and rapid DNA microarray to provide etiologic diagnosis of GI infections in the laboratory setting.
