We investigated a 2.5-h peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH) assay with five Candida species-specific probes to identify Candida colonies and compared it to standard 2-h to 5-day phenotypic identification methods. Suspensions were made and slides were prepared and read for fluorescence per the manufacturer's instructions. Sensitivity was 99% (109/110), and specificity was 99% (129/130). PNA-FISH can rapidly identify those Candida species isolated most frequently.
我们使用五种念珠菌属特异性探针研究了一种2.5小时的肽核酸荧光原位杂交(PNA-FISH)检测方法,以鉴定念珠菌菌落,并将其与标准的2小时至5天的表型鉴定方法进行比较。按照制造商的说明制备悬浮液、载玻片并读取荧光。敏感性为99%(109/110),特异性为99%(129/130)。PNA-FISH可以快速鉴定出最常分离出的念珠菌属菌种。
