Molecular methods are crucial for mucormycosis diagnosis because cultures are frequently negative, even if microscopy suggests the presence of hyphae in tissues. We assessed PCR/electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) for Mucorales identification in 19 unfixed tissue samples from 13 patients with proven or probable mucormycosis and compared the results with culture, quantitative real-time PCR, 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer region (ITS PCR) and 18S PCR sequencing. Concordance with culture identification to both genus and species levels was higher for PCR/ESI-MS than for the other techniques. Thus, PCR/ESI-MS is suitable for Mucorales identification, within 6 hours, for tissue samples for which microscopy results suggest the presence of hyphae.
分子方法对于毛霉病的诊断至关重要,因为即使显微镜显示组织中有菌丝存在,培养也常常为阴性。我们评估了 PCR/电喷雾电离质谱(PCR/ESI-MS)在 13 例确诊或疑似毛霉病患者的 19 个未经固定的组织样本中的应用,将结果与培养、定量实时 PCR、16S-23S rRNA 基因内转录间隔区(ITS-PCR)和 18S-PCR 测序进行比较。与其他技术相比,PCR/ESI-MS 在属和种水平上与培养鉴定的一致性更高。因此,对于显微镜检查结果提示存在菌丝的组织样本,PCR/ESI-MS 适合在 6 小时内进行毛霉属鉴定。
