Experimental versus in silico fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: improved typing with an extended fragment range.
Whole-genome fingerprinting fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) data were compared with in silico data for the sequenced strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv and CDC1551). For this G+C-rich genome, many predicted fragments were not detected experimentally. For H37Rv, only 108 (66%) of the 163 predicted EcoRI-MseI fragments between 100 and 500 bp were visualized in...
متن کاملAn improved fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism method for typing Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
We have evaluated fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) fingerprinting as a complementary technique for genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which may aid in the elucidation of the transmission dynamics of tuberculosis. Earlier FAFLP studies (1, 2, 3, 5) broadly employed EcoRI and MseI restriction enzymes, which are known to have a low cleavage frequency for GC genomes of...
متن کاملFluorescent Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Norwegian Bacillus cereus
We examined 154 Norwegian B. cereus and B. thuringiensis soil isolates (collected from five different locations), 8 B. cereus and 2 B. thuringiensis reference strains, and 2 Bacillus anthracis strains by using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). We employed a novel fragment identification approach based on a hierarchical agglomerative clustering routine that identifies fr...
متن کاملGenotyping Neisseria gonorrhoeae using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.
An evaluation of fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) for typing Neisseria gonorrhoeae using 52 isolates revealed that its discriminatory power approached that of Opa-typing in identifying epidemiologically linked isolates. Automated, accurate sizing of FAFLP amplified fragments permits objective data analysis and storage, making it an attractive method for large surveilla...
متن کاملWhole Genome-Based Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity in Candida africana
This study aimed at investigating the genetic diversity of a panel of Candida africana strains recovered from vaginal samples in different countries. All fungal strains were heterozygous at the mating-type-like locus and belonged to the genotype A of Candida albicans. Moreover, all examined C. africana strains lack N-acetylglucosamine assimilation and sequence analysis of the HXK1 gene showed a...
