Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis penambahan daging babi ternak dan babi hutan baik yang mentah (raw) maupun yang diolah (cooked) di dalam pangan asal hewan berbahan dasar daging sapi menggunakan metode uji enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)  dan real-time PCR (qPCR). Sebanyak 40 sampel yang terdiri dari 20 daging babi ternak dan 20 daging babi hutan dihomogenisasi dengan daging sapi dalam bentuk mentah maupun olahan (bakso). Konsentrasi setiap daging babi ternak dan babi hutan dalam bentuk mentah dan olahan bakso pada campuran daging sapi antara lain 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, dan 0.125%. Hasil uji ELISA pada penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa uji ini mampu mengidentifikasi adanya penambahan daging babi ternak dan babi hutan dalam pangan asal hewan baik dalam bentuk mentah maupun olahan bakso hingga konsentrasi 0.25%. Hasil uji t terhadap nilai optical density (OD) uji ELISA menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan dalam mendeteksi spesies babi ternak dengan babi hutan (p≥0.05), tetapi terdapat perbedaan pada sampel bentuk mentah dengan bakso (p<0.05). Hasil uji qPCR mampu mengidentifikasi adanya penambahan daging babi ternak dan babi hutan dalam pangan asal hewan baik dalam bentuk mentah maupun olahan bakso hingga konsentrasi 0.125%. Hasil uji t  terhadap nilai cycle threshold (Ct) uji qPCR menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan dalam mendeteksi spesies babi ternak dengan babi hutan (p≥0.05), tetapi terdapat perbedaan pada sampel bentuk mentah dengan bakso (p<0.05). Metode ELISA dan qPCR dapat dijadikan sebagai metode pengujian untuk mengidentifikasi pencampuran spesies yang tidak dikehendaki, khususnya daging babi pada pangan asal hewan berbahan dasar daging sapi yang beredar di masyarakat.

ABSTRACT The performance of different in vitro diagnostic tests for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) was investigated in a transiently neutropenic rat model. Rats were immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide and then inoculated intravenously with 1.5 × 104 CFU Aspergillus fumigatus spores. Animals were then either treated with caspofungin acetate, 1 mg/kg/day for 7 days, or not treated. PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time PCR, and galactomannan (GM) detection were performed on postmortem blood samples, along with culture of liver, lung, and kidney homogenate. Caspofungin-treated animals showed a decrease in residual tissue burden of  A. fumigatus from organ homogenate compared to untreated animals (P < 0.002). PCR-ELISA returned positive results for 11/17 animals treated with antifungal agents and for 10/17 untreated animals. Galactomannan was positive in 8/17 caspofungin-treated animals and 4/17 untreated animals. Real-time PCR was positive in 2/17 treated and 3/17 untreated animals. This study demonstrates that PCR-ELISA is a more sensitive test than either GM detection (P = 0.052) or real-time PCR (P < 0.01) for diagnosis of IA but that any of the three tests may return false-negative results in cases of histologically proven disease. Galactomannan indices from animals treated with antifungal agents showed a trend (P = 0.1) towards higher levels than those of untreated animals, but no effect was observed with PCR-ELISA indices (P = 0.29). GM detection, as previously described, may be enhanced by the administration of caspofungin, but PCR-ELISA appears not to be affected in the same way. We conclude that PCR-ELISA is a more sensitive and reliable method for laboratory diagnosis of IA.

Objective.To evaluate the accuracy of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Clostridium difficile–associated disease (CDAD) detection, after hospital CDAD rates significantly increased following real-time PCR initiation for CDAD diagnosis.Design.Hospital-wide surveillance study following examination of CDAD incidence density rates by interrupted time series design.Setting.Large university-based hospital.Participants.Hospitalized adult patients.Methods.CDAD rates were compared before and after real-time PCR implementation in a university hospital and in the absence of physician and infection control practice changes. After real-time PCR introduction, all hospitalized adult patients were screened for C. difficile by testing a fecal specimen by real-time PCR, toxin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and toxigenic culture.Results.CDAD hospital rates significantly increased after changing from cell culture cytotoxicity assay to a real-time PCR assay. One hundred ninety-nine hospitalized subjects were enrolled, and 101 fecal specimens were collected. C. difficile was detected in 18 subjects (18%), including 5 subjects (28%) with either definite or probable CDAD and 13 patients (72%) with asymptomatic C. difficile colonization.Conclusions.The majority of healthcare-associated diarrhea is not attributable to CDAD, and the prevalence of asymptomatic C. difficile colonization exceeds CDAD rates in healthcare facilities. PCR detection of asymptomatic C. difficile colonization among patients with non-CDAD diarrhea may be contributing to rising CDAD rates and a significant number of CDAD false positives. PCR may be useful for CDAD screening, but further study is needed to guide interpretation of PCR detection of C. difficile and the value of confirmatory tests. A gold standard CDAD diagnostic assay is needed.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2014;35(6):667–673

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated optimized diagnostic accuracy in utilizing higher antiheparin–platelet factor 4 (PF4) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) optical density (OD) thresholds for diagnosing heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). We describe the incidence of positive serotonin release assay (SRA) results, as well as performance characteristics, for antiheparin–PF4 ELISA thresholds ≥0.4, ≥0.8, and ≥1.0 OD units in the diagnosis of HIT at our institution. Methods: Following institutional review board approval, we conducted a single-center retrospective chart review on adult inpatients with a differential diagnosis of HIT evaluated by both antiheparin–PF4 ELISA and SRA from 2012 to 2014. The major endpoints were to assess incidence of positive SRA results, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy at antiheparin–PF4 ELISA values ≥0.4 OD units when compared to values ≥0.8 and ≥1.0 OD units. Clinical characteristics, including demographics, laboratory values, clinical and safety outcomes, length of stay, and mortality, were collected. Results: A total of 140 patients with 140 antiheparin–PF4 ELISA and SRA values were evaluated, of which 23 patients were SRA positive (16.4%) and 117 patients were SRA negative (83.6%). We identified a sensitivity of 91.3% versus 82.6% and 73.9%, specificity of 61.5% versus 87.2% and 91.5%, PPV of 31.8% versus 55.9% and 63.0%, NPV of 97.3% versus 96.2% and 94.7%, and accuracy of 66.4% versus 86.4% and 88.6% at antiheparin–PF4 ELISA thresholds ≥0.4, ≥0.8, and ≥1.0 OD units, respectively. Conclusion: Our study suggests an increased antiheparin–PF4 ELISA threshold of 0.8 or 1.0 OD units enhances specificity, PPV, and accuracy while maintaining NPV with decreased sensitivity.
