Fulltext PDFFor appropriate antibiotic therapy and avoid unnecessary use of drugs, accurate diagnosis of
Nosocomial Infections (NI) is crucial. There are three Gram-negative bacteria in NI’s; P. aeruginosa,
A. baumannii and S. maltophilia, which may misdiagnosed with together in traditional diagnostic
methods. Due to this, a rapid molecular diagnosis kit has been designed in Shiraz Burn Research
Center. According to the sensitivity and specificity percent analyses results, following results were
obtained respectively: P. aeruginosa: 100%, 96.8%; A. baumannii: 100%, 100% and S. maltophilia:
96.7%, and 93.8%. Based on these results this multiplex-PCR kit with three primer sequences is
responsible for timely and appropriate detection of studied bacteria.
