We evaluated a DNA biotinylated probe for the rapid identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in culture (Ortho Diagnostics System, Raritan, NJ). Twenty-one strains of N. gonorrhoeae, including type strain, 57 strains of other Neisseria species, and 104 strains of other genera were studied. The probe was highly sensitive (100%) and specific (96%). All N. gonorrhoeae strains gave strong signals, and only two cross-reaction were observed with N. lactamica, which has a close genetic relationship to N. gonorrhoeae. Our results indicate that specific recombinant DNA probe should offer a reliable and rapid method for routine diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
我们评估了一种用于在培养物中快速鉴定淋病奈瑟菌的DNA生物素化探针(Ortho诊断系统,拉里坦,新泽西州)。研究了21株淋病奈瑟菌,包括模式菌株、57株其他奈瑟菌属菌株和104株其他属的菌株。该探针具有高度敏感性(100%)和特异性(96%)。所有淋病奈瑟菌菌株均产生强信号,仅观察到两例假阳性反应,均为与淋病奈瑟菌有密切亲缘关系的乳糖奈瑟菌。我们的结果表明,特异性重组DNA探针应为淋病奈瑟菌的常规诊断提供一种可靠且快速的方法。
