Identification of Vibrio parahaemolyticus pandemic group-specific DNA sequence by genomic subtraction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A genomic subtraction between a pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus and a nonpandemic strain that seemed to be clonally related was performed. A subtractive DNA fragment was identified to be a part of a 16-kbp insertion sequence which was present in almost all pandemic strains but not in nonpandemic strains tested.

Genotypic analyses of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and development of a pandemic group-specific multiplex PCR assay.
A total of 54 Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains including pandemic O3:K6 strains and newly emerged O4:K68, O1:K25, O1:K26, and O1:K untypeable strains (collectively referred to as the "pandemic group") were examined for their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) profiles and for the presence or absence of genetic marker DNA sequences, toxRS/new or orf8, that...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology and Genetic Variation of Pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Peru
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen that has become a public health concern at the global scale. The epidemiological significance of V. parahaemolyticus infections in Latin America received little attention until the winter of 1997 when cases related to the pandemic clone were detected in the region, changing the epidemic dynamics of this pathogen in Peru. With the aim to assess the...
متن کاملOn the origin and function of an insertion element VPaI-1 specific to post-1995 pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains.
Since 1995, new virulent strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus have emerged and spread throughout the world. These "pandemic" strains have four strain specific genomic islands (GIs), which are considered to be potential factors of the pandemicity. We investigated the origin and function of 24 genes in the so-called VPaI-1, one of the four GIs, by searching homologs in various species in Bacteria a...
متن کاملPCR detection of a newly emerged pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 pathogen in pure cultures and seeded waters from the Gulf of Mexico.
This study describes the optimization of PCR parameters and testing of a wide number of microbial species to establish a highly specific and sensitive PCR-based method of detection of a newly emerged pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 strain in pure cultures and seeded waters from the Gulf of Mexico (gulf water). The selected open reading frame 8 (ORF8) DNA-specific oligonucleotide primers ...
متن کاملTransoceanic Spreading of Pathogenic Strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus with Distinctive Genetic Signatures in the recA Gene
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important human pathogen whose transmission is associated with the consumption of contaminated seafood. Consistent multilocus sequence typing for V. parahaemolyticus has shown difficulties in the amplification of the recA gene by PCR associated with a lack of amplification or a larger PCR product than expected. In one strain (090-96, Peru, 1996), the produced PCR p...
