Differentiation of Pathogenic and Saprophytic Leptospires with 8-azaguanine.
Johnson, Russell C. (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis), and Palmer Rogers. Differentiation of pathogenic and saprophytic leptospires with 8-azaguanine. J. Bacteriol. 88:1618-1623. 1964.-The use of the purine analogue, 8-azaguanine, as a differential agent for the separation of pathogenic and saprophytic leptospires was investigated. Growth of strains of the saprophyte Leptospira biflexa was...
متن کاملDetection of pathogenic Leptospira spp. By polymerase chain reaction reaction (PCR) targeting ligB gene
Background: Leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease and is considered to be the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world. LigB is an immunogenic outer membrane protein. The leptospiral ligB gene expressed only in pathogenic Leptospira spp. The aim of this study was molecular diagnosis of pathogen Leptospires by PCR based on ligB gene. Materials and Methods: Five pathogenic Leptospi...
متن کاملIdentification of pathogenic yeast species by polymerase chain reaction amplification of the RPS0 gene intron fragment.
AIMS This work focuses on the development of a method for the identification of pathogenic yeast. With this aim, we target the nucleotide sequence of the RPS0 gene of pathogenic yeast species with specific PCR primers. PCR analysis was performed with both the genomic DNA, whole cells of clinical isolates of Candida species and clinical samples. METHODS AND RESULTS A single pairs of primers, d...
متن کاملSmall mammals – natural reservoir of pathogenic leptospires
A total of 429 specimens belonging to 9 species of small mammals, trapped in various areas of the Czech Republic during the year 2001, were examined for antibodies against leptospires. Antibodies were found in all localities under study in 50 specimens, i.e., 11.6%, belonging to 5 species. Antibodies were most often , i.e., in 42% of positives, found in Microtus arvalis. In Apodemus spp. and Cl...
متن کاملDetection 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...
