Species identification and strain differentiation of dermatophyte fungi by analysis of ribosomal-DNA intergenic spacer regions.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) identified in the ribosomal-DNA (rDNA) repeat were used for molecular strain differentiation of the dermatophyte fungus Trichophyton rubrum. The polymorphisms were detected by hybridization of EcoRI-digested T. rubrum genomic DNAs with a probe amplified from the small-subunit (18S) rDNA and adjacent internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The...
متن کاملAcinetobacter species identification by using tRNA spacer fingerprinting.
Identification of Acinetobacter spp. to the DNA group level by phenotypic techniques is problematic, and there is a need for an alternative identification method for routine use. The present study validated the suitability of a rapid identification technique based on tRNA spacer (tDNA) fingerprinting in comparison with that of a commercially available assay involving carbon source utilization t...
متن کاملHuman ribosomal RNA intergenic spacer sequence.
The human rDNA tandem repeat consists of 13.3 kb of transcribed sequence and about 30 kb of intergenic spacer of unknown function. For descriptive purposes, it is convenient to divide the ribosomal repeat into 4 EcoRI fragments, A D . The C fragment contains only intergenic spacer sequences, and ends some 500 bp upstream of the ribosomal RNA promoter. We had previously described the terminal Ba...
متن کاملDeoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting methods for Candida species.
A number of genetic fingerprinting methods have evolved to analyze the population structure and to perform epidemiological and etiological studies of infectious fungi. These methods include multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, restriction fragment-length polymorphism using complex probes, random amplification of polymorphic DNA, and multilocus sequence typing, which are described in this chapter.
متن کاملPCR-based identification and strain typing of Pichia anomala using the ribosomal intergenic spacer region IGS1.
Frequent outbreaks of Pichia anomala fungaemia in paediatric patients have warranted the development of a rapid identification system for this organism. This study describes a specific PCR-based method targeting the rRNA gene intergenic spacer region 1 (IGS1) for rapid identification of Pichia anomala isolates and characterization at the strain level. These methods of species identification and...
