Evaluation of GENECUBE Mycoplasma for the detection of macrolide-resistant Free

Abstract

Resistance against macrolide antibiotics in is becoming non-negligible in terms of both appropriate therapy and diagnostic stewardship. Molecular methods have attractive features for the identification of as well as its resistance-associated mutations of 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

The automated molecular diagnostic sytem can identify macrolide-resistant .

To assess the performance of an automated molecular diagnostic system, GENECUBE Mycoplasma, in the detection of macrolide resistance-associated mutations.

To evaluate whether the system can distinguish mutant from wild-type 23S rRNA, synthetic oligonucleotides mimicking known mutations (high-level macrolide resistance, mutation in positions 2063 and 2064; low-level macrolide resistance, mutation in position 2067) were assayed. To evaluate clinical oropharyngeal samples, purified nucleic acids were obtained from -positive samples by using the GENECUBE system from nine hospitals. After confirmation by re-evaluation of positivity, Sanger-based sequencing of 23S rRNA and mutant typing using GENECUBE Mycoplasma were performed.

The system reproducibly identified all synthetic oligonucleotides associated with high-level macrolide resistance. Detection errors were only observed for A2067G (in 2 of the 10 measurements). The point mutation in 23S rRNA was detected in 67 (26.9 %) of 249 confirmed -positive clinical samples. The mutations at positions 2063, 2064 and 2617 were observed in 65 (97.0 %), 2 (3.0 %) and 0 (0.0 %) of the 67 samples, respectively. The mutations at positions 2063 and 2064 were A2063G and A2064G, respectively. The results from mutant typing using GENECUBE Mycoplasma were in full agreement with the results from sequence-based typing.

GENECUBE Mycoplasma is a reliable test for the identification of clinically significant macrolide-resistant .
