A seletividade, eficácia e espetro de ação dos antibióticos β-lactâmicos faz deles a classe de antimicrobianos mais comummente prescritos para o tratamento de infeções causadas por enterobactérias. As β-lactamases surgem como um dos principais mecanismos de resistência microbiano aos antibióticos β-lactâmicos, onde as β-lactamases do tipo AmpC se assumem como clinicamente relevantes, ao conferir resistência à m...
Here, we evaluated a previously established peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH) method as a new diagnostic test for Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin resistance detection in paraffin-embedded gastric biopsy specimens. Both a retrospective study and a prospective cohort study were conducted to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of a PNA-FISH method to determine H. pylori cla...
In this study an evaluation of Probe4Pylori, a previously established PNA-FISH diagnostic test for H. pylori clarithromycin resistance in paraffin embedded gastric biopsies was performed and compared against culture followed by E-test and PCR. The Probe4Pylori showed very promising results with values of sensitivity (80%) and specificity (approximately 90%) for the patients harboring clarithromycin-resistant H....
