Detailed Description
The investigators developed a new platform called GenSeizer, which combines bioinformatics analysis of a large dataset with multiplex PCR-based targeted gene sequencing, to identify eleven major Mycobacterium species implicated in human disease. Simultaneous detection of certain antibiotic resistance genotypes, i.e., erm(41) and rrl in M. abscessus, is also feasible. This platform detected both reference strains and clinical isolates with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity.
In this study, the investigators plan to verify the detection efficiency of GenSeizer in clinical samples (sputum, alveolar lavage fluid) and compare it with existing methods on the market (PCR reverse hybridization) and gold standard method (target sequencing after incubation)
