A new protocol based on a combination of an excystation process followed by a nucleic acid extraction that combines the lysing and nuclease-inactivating properties of the chaotropic agent guanidinium thiocyanate and the nucleic acid-binding properties of silica particles is described for the extraction and purification of nucleic acids from Cryptosporidium. The application of nested and/or semi-nested PCR using different external and internal primers to DNA extracted by this method from seeded and naturally occurring Cryptosporidium oocysts concentrated and purified from environmental samples detects numbers of oocysts ranging from 20 to 50. The method is feasible, detects mostly excystable oocysts and no problems of inhibition of PCR were observed when applied to environmental samples.

AbstractCryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a global threat with significant attributable morbidity and mortality. Information on integrated detection for CM diagnosis is still limited. This is mainly due to the presence of a large polysaccharide capsule and the tough cell wall of Cryptococcus, which makes it difficult to extract nucleic acids on the chip. In this study, we developed a LAMP-based microfluidic chip for rapid detection of pathogen in CM. We adopted 4 duplicate filtration membrane structures to improve target capture and simplify the enrichment process, and combined lyticase digestion and thermal alkaline lysisto optimize the nucleic acid extraction of Cryptococcus on the chip, and selected a portable UVA flashlight to shine the LAMP products to obtain the visual detection results which could be observed by the naked eye. This microfluidic chip, integrating sample Cryptococcus enrichment, nucleic acid extraction and LAMP detection unit, streamlined the operation process and reduced the exposure risk of directly handling cryptococcal samples. It did not require any additional instruments and demonstrated a rapid, reliable, as well as high-efficiency approach. It truly realized the “sample-to-answer” application and could be easily used for clinical cryptococcal prediagnosis.

This study aimed to assess standard and harsher nucleic acid extraction schemes for diagnostic helminth real-time PCR approaches from stool samples. A standard procedure for nucleic acid extraction from stool and a procedure including bead-beating as well as proteinase K digestion were compared with group-, genus-, and species-specific real-time PCR assays targeting helminths and nonhelminth pathogens in human stool samples. From 25 different in-house and commercial helminth real-time PCR assays applied to 77 stool samples comprising 67 historic samples and 10 external quality assessment scheme samples positively tested for helminths, higher numbers of positive test results were observed after bead-beating-based nucleic acid extraction for 5/25 (20%) real-time PCR assays irrespective of specificity issues. Lower cycle threshold values were observed for one real-time PCR assay after the standard extraction scheme, and for four assays after the bead-beating-based scheme. Agreement between real-time PCR results after both nucleic acid extraction strategies according to Cohen’s kappa ranged from poor to almost perfect for the different assays. Varying agreement was observed in eight nonhelminth real-time PCR assays applied to 67 historic stool samples. The study indicates highly variable effects of harsh nucleic acid extraction approaches depending on the real-time PCR assay used.
