DIRECT FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY: EFFECTIVE METHOD OF MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE IDENTIFICATION IN CLINICAL SAMPLES.
Bhattacharjee Minakshi*, Urhekar A. D. and Sharma Revati
ABSTRACT The study aims at the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a leading causative organism of community acquired pneumonia. For this an in-house method of direct fluorescence microscopy using FITC labeled antibodies to the organism was standardized. The results obtained showed a 10.66% prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in this area. These findings are promising. Augmented studies on larger population could be up taken to obtain a better picture of the prevalence of the organism in this part of the country. Keywords: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Direct Fluorescence microscopy, FITC labeled antibodies. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
