چکیده انگلیسی
We attempted to develop a new specific antibody detection method for discriminating infection state from colonization state in hospitalized immunocompromised patients with a positive sputum culture for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Serum samples from 65 patients with P. aeruginosa in sputum culture (total PA patients), including 24 patients with P. aeruginosa-related pulmonary infections (PA infection group) and 21 patients without pulmonary infections (PA colonization group), as well as samples from 20 patients positive for other bacteria in blood culture (non-PA infection group) and 38 healthy controls were examined and compared for IgG and IgA anti-P. aeruginosa antibodies by a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Both IgG and IgA antibody ELISA showed satisfactory reproducibility with low coefficient of variation (CV) percent, and western blotting analysis showed two protein bands as the corresponding antigens common to both antibodies. The serum levels of both antibodies in all the PA patients were higher than those in the healthy controls with high significance (p < 0.0001). The PA infection group showed significantly higher mean levels of both IgG and IgA class antibodies than the PA colonization group, non-PA infection group and healthy controls (each, p < 0.0001). In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis to differentiate between total PA infections and the PA colonization group, the area under curve (AUC) of the IgA antibody (0.848) was significantly larger than the AUC of the IgG antibody (0.677) (p = 0.019). At the optimal IgA antibody cutoff value for differentiation of 1.37 units/mL, the sensitivity and specificity of IgA anti-P. aeruginosa ELISA were 83.3% and 85.7%, respectively. These findings suggest that IgA antibody ELISA, rather than IgG antibody ELISA, may be useful for differentiating P. aeruginosa-related pneumonia from latent colonization in immunocompromised patients with a positive sputum culture.
