Title in Portuguese
"Detecção de Staphylococcus aureus resistente à meticilina por meio de multiplex PCR em amostras de secreção respiratória de pacientes com fibrose cística"
Keywords in Portuguese
Fibrose cística
Infecções respiratórias/diagnóstico
Reação em cadeia por polimerase
Resistência à meticilina
Staphylococcus Aureus/isolamento & purificação
Abstract in Portuguese
S.aureus resistente à meticilina(SARM) é um problema em centros de fibrose cística(FC). Foi desenvolvido um multiplex PCR(mPCR) para detecção do SARM em secreção respiratória de 106 pacientes com FC. Foram usados 3 pares de primers para amplificar os genes: mecA, coa, 16S rRNA. O mPCR detectou até 0,25pg de DNA de SARM e identificou 70/106(66,0%) pacientes com S.aureus e 28/106(26,4%) com SARM. O mPCR mostrou especificidade, sensibilidade, valores preditivos positivo e negativo de 87,8%, 84,4%, 50% e 97,5%, considerando a cultura como padrão-ouro. Os resultados discordantes foram testados com outros primers, confirmando os obtidos pelo mPCR em 82/84. O mPCR mostrou-se método rápido e confiável para detecção de SARM

Abstract in English
Methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) is a significant concern in cystic fibrosis(CF) centers. A multiplex PCR(MPCR) was developed to detect MRSA in respiratory secretion of 106 CF patients. Three pairs of primers were used for amplification of genes: mecA, coa, 16S rRNA. MPCR detected 0.25pg of MRSA DNA and identified 70/106(66.0%) of patients with S.aureus and 28/106(26.4%) with MRSA. MPCR showed specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predicted values at 87.8%, 84.4%, 50% and 97.5%, considering culture as the gold standard. Discrepant results were retested using different primers, and confirmed MPCR results in 82/84. The developed MPCR was found to be a rapid and reliable method for MRSA detection
