typing of fusobacterium necrophorum strains using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) based methods

چکیده
background: fusobacterium necrophorum as a non-spore-forming gram-negative anaerobic bacillus is an important human and animal pathogen. it may cause severe systemic infections (lemierre's syndrome) and some other infections. the aim of this study was to subtype fusobacterium necrophorum by using pcr methods. materials and methods: twenty five strains of fusobacterium necrophorum subspecies funduliformis were used. extraction of dna and typing of the strains using rep-pcr, eric-pcr and box-pcr were done. results: molecular typing of fusobacterium necrophorum using rep1-r-i and rep-2-i primers generated 2 to 5 amplicons ranging in size from 1500bp to 2000bp. gelcompar comparison of banding patterns revealed seven distinct ribotype strains from 25 strains tested of which most were 2 and 4 with 8 and 7 strains respectively. box-pcr subtyping generated 2 to 7 comparable amplicons ranging in size from approximately 600bp to more than 2000bp. eric-pcr subtyping generated 6 to 11 amplicons ranging in size from approximately 100bp to 1500bp. conclusions: f. necrophorum strains have genomic variations that suggest they are never truly clonal in nature, or they may have undergone localized genetic variation across worldwide. this study also showed subtypes existing in fusobacterium necrophorum species. we have demonstrated that fusobacterium necrophorum rep-pcr types can be divided into seven, three subtypes by box-pcr and six subtypes by eric-pcr. box-pcr typing proved to be the most discriminatory method, yielding two-seven major bands. the sample size was too small to interpret statistically.

متن کاملPolymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful and widely used technique that has greatly advanced our ability to analyze genes. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) present in cells contains many thousands of genes. This makes it difficult to isolate and analyze any individual gene. PCR allows specific DNA sequences, usually corresponding to genes or parts of genes, to be copied from genomic...

BACKGROUND: Colibacillosis is one of the most economically important diseases of poultry worldwide. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to examine the clonal relatedness and typing of 95 avian Escherichia coli isolates by ERIC-PCR. METHODS: Sixty-three E. coli isolates from two common manifestations of colibacillosis (yolk sac infection and colisepticemia) and 32 isolates from feces of apparen...

متن کاملtyping of the uropathogenic e.coli strains using o-serotyping and detection of pap adhesion-encoding operon by polymerase chain reaction
conclusion our results showed that obtained protein patterns of the isolated strains were more reliable than serotyping results for typing purposes. our findings indicated that pap adhesion–encoding operon has an important role in the development and severity of uti. many cases of serious urogenital diseases are caused by a limited number of uropathogenic e.coli strains that generally possess s...
