Identification of the causative pathogen is required to optimize the effective therapy in infective endocarditis (IE). The aim of this study was to assess a 16S rDNA PCR to identify bacteria from heart valve tissues and to evaluate its usefulness as a complement to blood and removed valves cultures. A total of 266 patients diagnosed with IE from January 2015 to December 2019 were evaluated. Results between 16S rDNA PCR from heart valve tissues were compared with microbiological cultures. Blood cultures were positive in 83.5% of patients diagnosed with IE, while 39.6% and 71.8% of the evaluated heart valve samples were positive by culture and 16S rDNA PCR, respectively. For 32 (12%) patients, 16S rDNA tissue PCR provided valuable information supporting the results of blood cultures in the case of bacteria characteristic from the skin microbiota. Additionally, a microorganism was identified by using 16S rDNA PCR in 36% of blood culture-negative cases. The present study reveals that molecular diagnosis using 16S rDNA tissue PCR provides complementary information for the diagnosis of IE, and it should be recommended in surgical endocarditis, especially when blood cultures are negative.

Background: The Nested IS6110 PCR is used for detecting tuberculosis, however IS6110 sequence is not present in the genome of all strains of M.tuberculosis, the result may be false negative. The gene coding 16S ribosome always contains a short sequence specific to M. tuberculosis complex. Objects: Performance of the 16S Real-time PCR to detect M. tuberculosis and combining to the nested IS6110 PCR to determine the rate of Mtb strains without IS6110 from clinical samples. Materials and method: Performance of 16S rDNA PCR by commercial kit of Viet A Inc. for all 480 samples, the samples which were positive with the 16S rDNA PCR were retested in IS6110 PCR assay by in-house kit. Results: The Realtime 16S rDNA PCR detected 258 cases (53.8%) of tuberculosis. There were 3 (1.2 %) M. tuberculosis strains which do not harbor IS6110 sequence in genome. Conclusion: The IS6110 nested PCR can be applied more widely than the 16S rDNA realtime PCR. In case of using IS6110 PCR assay, results may show a low proportion of false negative. Combining 16S rDNA PCR with the IS6110 based PCR allowed detection of deletion of IS6110 sequence in M. tuberculosis isolates.
