Simplified phenotypic scheme evaluated by 16S rRNA sequencing for differentiation between Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. enterocolitica-like species.

چکیده
Many clinical laboratories are familiar with a sizeable group of "unserotypeable Yersinia enterocolitica" strains. Due to identification problems, this group may hide Y. bercovieri, Y. mollaretii, and Y. rohdei strains. We present a simple scheme to distinguish between pathogenic Y. enterocolitica and potentially nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica-like strains.

Detection of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by a rapid and sensitive duplex PCR assay.
A duplex PCR assay targeting the ail and 16S rRNA genes of Yersinia enterocolitica was developed to specifically identify pathogenic Y. enterocolitica from pure culture. Validation of the assay was performed with 215 clinical Yersinia strains and 40 strains of other bacterial species. Within an assay time of 4 h, this assay offers a very specific, reliable, and inexpensive alternative to the co...
متن کاملYersinia spp. Identification Using Copy Diversity in the Chromosomal 16S rRNA Gene Sequence
API 20E strip test, the standard for Enterobacteriaceae identification, is not sufficient to discriminate some Yersinia species for some unstable biochemical reactions and the same biochemical profile presented in some species, e.g. Yersinia ferderiksenii and Yersinia intermedia, which need a variety of molecular biology methods as auxiliaries for identification. The 16S rRNA gene is considered...
متن کاملRapid identification of Yersinia enterocolitica in blood by the 5' nuclease PCR assay.
Yersinia enterocolitica accounts for 50% of the clinical sepsis episodes caused by the transfusion of contaminated red blood cells. A 5' nuclease TaqMan PCR assay was developed to detect Y. enterocolitica in blood. Primers and a probe based on the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene from Y. enterocolitica were designed. Whole-blood samples were spiked with various numbers of Y. enterocolit...
