Identification And Detection ofInvasive Fungal Species in Lung Tissue

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the increasing incidence of invasive fungal infections in the lungs due to factors like stem cell and organ transplantation, immunosuppressive agents, and chemotherapy. These infections are challenging to diagnose early due to non-specific symptoms and underlying diseases, leading to high mortality rates. Accurate detection is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.

Detection Content
The document lists various fungal species that can be detected, including different strains of Candida, Cryptococcus, Pneumocystis, Penicillium, Nocardia, Mucor, Rhizopus, and others.

Detection Method
The method used is Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), which involves ionizing biological molecules and measuring their molecular weight for precise identification.

Features & Advantages
  • Technological Advancement: Combines PCR technology for rapid testing without in vitro culture, providing results within a day.
  • Stability and Reliability: Common lung microorganisms do not affect test accuracy.
  • Excellent Specificity: Can tolerate human genomic DNA without non-specific results.
  • High Sensitivity: Detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA at low concentrations.


Detection Process
The process involves DNA extraction, template addition, mass spectrometry analysis, data analysis, and report generation.

Detection Significance
Accurate identification of 30 common invasive fungal species aids in understanding pathogenic organisms and provides a basis for anti-infective treatment.

Identification And Detection ofInvasive Fungal Species in Lung Tissue-1

Identification And Detection of Invasive Fungal Species in Lung Tissue (Nucleic Acid Mass Spectrometry Method) With the widespread use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, solid organ transplantation, immunosuppressive agents, chemotherapy drugs, and various invasive procedures, the incidence of invasive fungal infections in the lungs is gradually increasing. Patients with pulmonary fungal infections often lack specific symptoms, and early diagnosis is challenging. The condition is easily masked by underlying diseases, leading to misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and delayed treatment, resulting in a high mortality rate. Therefore, accurate detection of invasive fungal infections in lung tissue is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. DETECTION CONTENT strain name Analysis Project strain name Analysis Project strain name Analysis Project Candida albicans Sporothrix schenckii Candida portuguese Penicillium marneffei Blastomyces dermatitidis Candida guilderii Blastomyces gizii Candida parapsilosis Histoplasma capsulatum Candida tropicalis Actinomyces clothenii Candida Dublin Candida krusei Candida glabrata Cryptococcus neoformans Sporotrichum globosa Cryptococcus gattii Sporotrichum brasiliensis DETECTION METHOD Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a novel technique used for the analysis of biological molecules. It involves the formation of a thin co-crystallized film by irradiating the sample with a laser in the presence of a matrix. The matrix absorbs energy from the laser and transfers it to the biological molecules, causing their ionization. The ionized molecules are then accelerated through a flight tube by an electric field, and their time of flight to the detector is used to accurately determine their molecular weight, allowing for precise identification and separation of biomolecules.
