IS200 fingerprint of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium human strains isolated in Sardinia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collection of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium human strains isolated in Northern Sardinia (Italy) was examined for the insertion sequence IS200, phage type, antibiotic profile, ribotyping polymorphisms and plasmid profile. All clinical isolates studied contained from 4 to 10 copies of the IS200 element. IS200 permitted to discriminate Typhimurium strains and to identify five IS200 types, some of them circulating in Sardinia at least since 1900. Strains belonging to phage DT104 predominated and correlated with a specific IS200 pattern.

Molecular typing reveals a unique clone of Salmonella enterica serotype typhi among Indian strains.
Typhoid fever (TF) is endemic in India, and a seasonal upsurge of cases is observed annually. Although mortality from TF has been greatly reduced by effective therapies and the availability of vaccines, morbidity is still high due to the global emergence of multidrug resistance and subsequent treatment failures (4). Studies have also documented the circulation of multiple genetic variants (17) ...
متن کاملCharacterization of virulence factors in the newly described Salmonella enterica serotype Keurmassar emerging in Senegal (sub-Saharan Africa).
From 2000 to 2001, nine strains of Salmonella enterica belonging to the new serotype Keurmassar have been isolated from human and poultry samples at the Senegalese National Salmonella and Shigella Reference Laboratory at the Pasteur Institute, in Dakar. All strains carried virulence factors including Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands (SPI)-1, -2, -3 and -5 encoded genes. Strains did not harbour ...
متن کاملIS200 and multilocus sequence typing for the identification of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains from Indonesia.
In this work, IS200 and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) were used to analyze 19 strains previously serotyped as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and isolated in Indonesia (16 strains), Mexico (2 strains), and Switzerland (1 strain). Most of the strains showed the most common Typhi sequence types, ST1 and ST2, and a new Typhi genotype (ST1856) was described. However, one isolate from Mexico ...

Introduction: Salmonella is one of the most important causes of gastroenteritis in humans. Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium has many hosts in addition to humans, and its prevalence in the community is high. The aim of the study was comparing the genetic diversity of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolated from human fecal samples by both of ERIC-PCR and BOX-PCR method. Methods:...
متن کاملEvaluation of molecular typing methods for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 isolated in Germany from healthy pigs.
The discriminatory power of four different DNA based typing methods was tested for the molecular subtyping of Salmonella Typhimurium phage type DT104 isolates. German DT104 strains (n = 133) originating from slaughter pigs were analysed by plasmid profiling, and 32 of them by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using the restriction enzymes XbaI, SpeI or BlnI, random amplification of polymo...
