Use of amplified fragment length polymorphisms for typing Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was investigated for the differentiation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates. Analysis using Taxotron revealed 10 distinct AFLP profiles among 57 isolates. Strains with ribotype patterns D1, D4, and D12 could not be distinguished; however, the technique discriminated isolates of ribotype patterns D3, D6, and D7 further. AFLP was rapid, fairly in...
متن کاملUse of Single-enzyme Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism for Typing Clostridium Perfringens Isolated from Diarrheic Piglets
Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen in human and veterinary medicine. In swine, the agent is responsible for necrotic enteritis and enterotoxemia characterized by diarrhea, weight loss, delayed development and, in some cases, death. In the present study amplified fragment length polymorphism analyses (AFLP) was used to characterize 54 C. perfringens strains isolated from swine pres...
متن کاملScreening for Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
A throat swab from a 9 year old girl with pharyngitis yielded a non-toxigenic strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae var mitis and Streptococcus group G. C pseudodiphtheriticum was isolated from the throats of two of her four brothers. In each case the isolate was sent to the reference laboratory before full identification. The growth was found to be mixed for one brother; the other isolate bein...
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 کاملLinkage Map Construction for Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Markers
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. It is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. In this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers was d...
