Development and evaluation of nucleic acid amplification methods for the detection of respiratory pathogens in community acquired pneumonia

Objective

This project will result in a number of rapid "real time" rnultiplex nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) covering the whole spectrum of causes of atypical pneumonia, and in algorithms for their application. Each of the four partners willing close collaboration develop part of the necessary tests, the combination ofwhich will result in NASBA (RNA targeted) and PCR (DNA targeted) multiplex tests. The participation of an industrial company is of crucial importance to solve technical problems. The tests will be cross-validated between the partners by these of proficiency panels. The tests developed will be clinically validated by application to significant numbers of thoroughly documented respiratory specimens collected by three of the partners. The analysis of the results will allow deciding on algorithms to be used for the etiologic diagnosis of CAP.
