We tested a real-time PCR assay targeting the Pneumocystis jirovecii mitochondrial large subunit rRNA gene on 240 archival nasopharyngeal aspirates from non-immunosuppressed infants. The sensitivity of this assay appeared close to that of a conventional nested-PCR assay targeting the same locus. Because of its one-step procedure, and its sensitivity and rapidity, the real-time PCR assay is particularly suitable for screening individuals parasitized by P. jirovecii within large populations.
我们在240份来自非免疫抑制婴儿的存档鼻咽抽吸物上,检测了一种针对耶氏肺孢子菌线粒体大亚基rRNA基因的实时PCR检测方法。该检测方法的灵敏度似乎与针对同一基因座的传统巢式PCR检测方法相近。由于其实时一步法操作,以及其灵敏度和快速性,这种实时PCR检测方法特别适合于在大量人群中筛查耶氏肺孢子菌感染个体。
