The stock strains included 28 clinical isolates, 9 urine samples in which the target bacterial strain grew to 106CFU/ml or more in culture, and 9 sputum specimens in which the target bacterial strain grew to 105CFU/ml or more in culture. The bacterial identification and detection of drug-resistant genes used quality Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis and conventional PCR method, respectively, followed in comparison with the results of Verigene®. As a result, the measurement results of Verigene® for the stock strains and urine samples had a high concordance rate with MALDI-TOF MS analysis and PCR method. On the other hand, the concordance rate of the sputum specimens with the Verigene® measurement results was only 40% (4 out of 10 specimens). These results suggest that BC‒GN can be an effective tool for AMR rapid diagnosis if the measurement target includes not only bacterial strains in the culture-positive liquid of blood cultures, but also other bacterial strains and urine.","PeriodicalId":74740,"journal":{"name":"Rinsho Biseibutsu Jinsoku Shindan Kenkyukai shi = JARMAM : Journal of the Association for Rapid Method and Automation in Microbiology","volume":"28 2","pages":"91-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36853099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type of carbapenemase determined by the LAMP method were all consistent with multiplex PCR. All strains were detected within 30 min. In VIM, both VIM-1-like and VIM-2-like were able to detect.

Under the culture condition of McFarland No. 3.0 and 90-min incubation, the degradation rate of ABPC and CTX was 52.6 and 70.8% by K. pneumoniae, whereas it was less than 10% by susceptible bacteria.

Every year, 300,000‒500,000 cases of severe leptospirosis are reported around the world, with the case fatality rate being 10‒30%. The usual diagnostic tools for leptospirosis are 1) direct observation of leptospires in blood and urine under dark-field microscope, 2) isolation of leptospires from blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or urine samples by culture, 3) microscopic agglutination test (MAT) to detect anti-Leptospira antibodies in serum, and 4) PCR to detect Leptospira DNA. At presents, the gold standards for diagnosis are culture isolation and MAT. However, it is actually not easy to isolate leptospires from clinical samples. On the other hand, it takes several days before the results of MAT become positive after the onset of illness. Moreover, MAT requires skilled handling, and also needs the maintenance of live Leptospira cells representing all serogroups. Hence other simple or rapid diagnostic tests are needed at the bedside. The micro capsule agglutination test (MCAT) to detect antibody and immunochromatographic assay to detect urinary antigen are currently in the research and development phases. In this paper, the characteristics of each diagnostic test for leptospirosis are described.","PeriodicalId":74740,"journal":{"name":"Rinsho Biseibutsu Jinsoku Shindan Kenkyukai shi = JARMAM : Journal of the Association for Rapid Method and Automation in Microbiology","volume":"27 2","pages":"65-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35331752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, the methods have some disadvantage; 1) reading at 24 and 48 h, 2) using unclear scale, approximately 50% inhibition, to determine MICs, 3) calculating trailing growth and paradoxical effects. These makes it difficult to test the susuceptibility for yeasts. Old software of RAISUS, Ver. 6.0 series, resolved problem 1) and 2) but did not resolve problem 3). Recently, new software of RAISUS, Ver. 7.0 series, resolved problem 3). We confirmed that using the new software made it clear whether all these issue were settled or not. Eighty-four Candida isolated from Aichi Medical University was used in this study. We compared the MICs obtained by using RAISUS antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts RSMY1, RSMY1, with those obtained by using ASTY. The concordance rates (±four-fold of MICs) between the MICs obtained by using ASTY and RSMY1 with the new software were more than 90%, except for miconazole (MCZ). The rate of MCZ was low, but MICs obtained by using CLSI methods and Yeast-like Fungus DP 'EIKEN' methods, E-DP, showed equivalent MICs of RSMY1 using the new software. The frequency of skip effects on RSMY1 using the new software markedly decreased relative to RSMY1 using the old software. In case of showing trailing growth, the new software of RAISUS made it possible to choice the correct MICs and to put up the sign of trailing growth on the result screen. New software of RAISUS enhances its usability and the accuracy of MICs. Using automatic instrument to determine MICs is useful to obtain objective results easily.","PeriodicalId":74740,"journal":{"name":"Rinsho Biseibutsu Jinsoku Shindan Kenkyukai shi = JARMAM : Journal of the Association for Rapid Method and Automation in Microbiology","volume":"27 2","pages":"47-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35331750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a case of severe pneumonia caused by Legionella longbeachae, where a method of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay contributed an important role for the early detection. This case involved an 83-year-old man who developed fever, dyspnea, and productive cough. Since the medication of prescribed ceftriaxone had not been effective, he visited the emergency room of our hospital, where an X-ray revealed a severe pneumonia harboring a consolidation with air bronchogram in his right lower lung. His sputum and urine were subjected to the routine bacterial culture or the urinary antigen test for Legionella, which initially brought negative results. However, a positive result of LAMP assay enabled early diagnosis of Legionella pneumonia. Later, the bacterial cultures of sputum made some progress and 16S rRNA sequencing provided a proof of L. longbeachae. This LAMP assay may bring a benefit for the patients with Legionella pneumonia by enabling early detection of not only specific L. pneumophila serogroup 1, but also of the other Legionella species.","PeriodicalId":74740,"journal":{"name":"Rinsho Biseibutsu Jinsoku Shindan Kenkyukai shi = JARMAM : Journal of the Association for Rapid Method and Automation in Microbiology","volume":"27 2","pages":"57-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35331751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
