Detection of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by polymerase chain reaction and digoxigenin-labeled polynucleotide probes.
Yersinia enterocolitica is widespread in nature, but only a few bioserotypes are involved in human infections. Pigs are considered to be the major reservoirs of pathogenic strains. It is essential to have an accurate and rapid method for the detection of pathogenic yersiniae. To achieve this objective, 19-base synthetic oligonucleotide primers were used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to d...
متن کاملDetection and identification of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by an improved polymerase chain reaction method.
We developed a polymerase chain reaction method in order to detect and identify both Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica. Polymerase chain reaction was performed by using a mixture of primers against the inv gene from Y. pseudotuberculosis and the ail gene from pathogenic Y. enterocolitica. Further addition of primers against the plasmid-coded virF gene from Y. en...
متن کاملWo-Step Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Detection of Yersinia Species in General and of Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica Strains Specifically
Objectives: Detection of Yersinia enterocolitica in clinical samples is still not sensitive and fast enough. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers the advantages of sensitivity, specificity, and rapidity. A two-step PCR assay to detect pathogenic Y: enterocolitica in infected tissue has been developed. Method: In the first step of the PCR assay, a general primer PCR amplification of the small ...
متن کاملDetection of Pathogenic Yersinia Enterocolitica in Slaughtered Pigs by Cultural Methods and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Healthy pigs carrying pathogenic to human Yersinia enterocolitica strains are the main source of entry into slaughterhouse, where cross-contamination of carcasses can happen. The aim of this work was to determine Y. enterocolitica prevalence in slaughtered pigs, investigating the presence of carriers in relation to carcass contamination. A total of 132 pig samples (tonsils, mesenteric lymph nod...
متن کاملRapid Detection of Campylobacter jejuni by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Evaluation of its Sensitivity and Specificity
Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...
