Multicenter validation study for the certification of a CFTR gene scanning method using next generation sequencing technology.
2018
AbstractBackground:Many European laboratories offer molecular genetic analysis of theCFTRgene using a wide range of methods to identify mutations causative of cystic fibrosis (CF) and CFTR-related disorders (CFTR-RDs). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies are widely used in diagnostic practice, and CE marking is now required for most in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests in Europe. The aim of this multicenter study, which involved three European laboratories specialized in CF molecular analysis, was to evaluate the performance of Multiplicom’s CFTR MASTR Dx kit to obtain CE-IVD certification.Methods:A total of 164 samples, previously analyzed with well-established “reference” methods for t…
A widely used sampling device in colorectal cancer screening programmes allows for large-scale microbiome studies.
2018
We read with interest the article by Passamonti et al ,1 reporting the performance of two different faecal immunochemical tests (FITs) highlighting the importance of standardisation and validation of screening methodologies. Conventionally, laboratory-based FIT is the preferred approach in testing for occult blood in faeces, which includes colorectal cancer screening programmes.2–4 The potential of preserving stable faecal samples in a widely used FIT buffer for microbiome research would enable prospective microbiome studies in generally healthy subjects undergoing colorectal cancer screening. For this purpose, we evaluated faecal sample stability in the commonly used OC-Sensor (Eiken Chemi…
Efecto antibiótico sobre la dinámica de formación de biofilm endodóntico
2020
Es de vital importancia conocer la etiología y patogénesis de una enfermedad para desarrollar las formas más efectivas de prevención y tratamiento. Por ello, conocer y comprender la microbiología endodóntica, específicamente la biología de las biopelículas, que se forman en el interior de los conductos radiculares, es esencial para comprender el potencial patogénico de la microbiota y el desarrollo de tratamientos efectivos y eficientes. Las interacciones entre microorganismos presentes en un biofilm dotan a la comunidad de propiedades y funciones que no pueden observarse en cada componente de forma individual. Por este motivo, puede observarse un aumento de la virulencia, mayor resistencia…
