DNA probes for K-antigen (capsule) typing of Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA restriction fragments derived from the polysaccharide biosynthesis regions of cloned Escherichia coli K1, K5, and K12 capsular antigen genes hybridized only with DNA of strains determined by conventional methods to be of the same K serotype. A probe derived from the common transport region hybridized to all encapsulated E. coli strains.

Escherichia coli O antigen typing using DNA microarrays.
DNA microarrays were developed for rapid identification of different serogroups of Escherichia coli in a single platform. Oligonucleotides, as well as PCR products from genes in the O antigen gene clusters of E. coli serogroups O7, O104, O111, and O157 were spotted onto glass slides. This was followed by hybridization with labeled long PCR products of the entire O antigen gene clusters of these...
متن کاملPhylogenetic typing and molecular detection of virulence factors of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from colibacillosis cases in Japanese quail
Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. Some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of E. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. The APEC strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. The purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes a...
متن کاملCloning and sequencing of Toxoplasma gondii major surface antigen (SAG1) gene
Genetic typing methods of T. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. From a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: RFLP, PCR-RFLP, sequencing, RAPD-PCR and isoenzyme analysis. We described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (SAG1 or P30) of T. gondii. SAG1 is ...
متن کاملConstruction of Hybrid Gene of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Carrying Heat-Stable Enterotoxin of Escherichia coli and Its Expression in Mammalian Cell Line
Hepatitis B surface antigen is the first genetically engineered vaccine licensed for human use. Various strategies have been proposed to obtain a vaccine that would bypass the need for injection. In this study, a non-toxic portion of heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli that is capable of adhering to epithelial cells was inserted at amino acid position 112 of hepatitis surface antigen. T...
متن کاملPhylogenic typing of Escherichia coli isolated from broilers with collibacillosis in Tabriz, North West of Iran
In this study, to know about the phylogeny of Escherichia coli isolated from broilers with collibacillosis in Tabriz, 70 E. coli isolates recovered from broilers with collibacillosis were characterized for phylogenetic group (A, B1, B2, D) by multiplex PCR. Of the all 70 samples, 35 (50%) isolates were classified as type A, 32 (45%) as type D, 2 (2.8%) as type B1 and 1 (2.8%) as type B2. This s...
