Molecular cloning and mapping of 16S-23S rRNA gene complexes of Staphylococcus aureus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus aureus BB255, a derivative of NCTC8325, had six rRNA operons, and each operon contained two SmaI sites about 3 kb apart. By molecular cloning and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, all operons were mapped at the junctions of SmaI fragments in the published map of NCTC8325 except one, which was connected to a previously unidentified 23-kb SmaI fragment.

Genetic variations of avian Pasteurella multocida as demonstrated by 16S-23S rRNA gene sequences comparison
Pasteurella multocida is known as an important heterogenic bacterial agent causes some severe diseases such as fowl cholera in poultry and haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffalo. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed using primers derived from conserved part of 16S-23S rRNA gene. The PCR amplified a fragment size of 0.7 kb using DNA from nine avian P. multocida isolates...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Staphylococcus aureus strains based on 16S-23S ribosomal RNA intergenic space polymorphism
Discrimination of Staphylococcus aureus strains, isolated from camel abscesses and mastitic milk of camel, cattle and goats, on the basis of 16S-23S ribosomal RNA intergenic space polymorphism was carried out. Two sets of primers were used for amplification of DNA of intergenic space; the one having a highly conserved sequence in eubacterial 23S rRNA transcript, while the other having less cons...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of an rRNA operon in Streptomyces lividans TK21.
The number of rRNA genes in Streptomyces lividans was examined by Southern hybridization. Randomly labeled 23 and 16S rRNAs were hybridized with BamHI, BglII, PstI, SalI, or XhoI digests of S. lividans TK21 DNA. BamHi, BglII, SalI and XhoI digests yielded six radioactive bands each for the 23 and 16S rRNAs, whereas PstI digests gave one band for the 23S rRNA and one high-intensity band and six ...
متن کاملRapid Acquisition of Linezolid Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Role of Hypermutation and Homologous Recombination
BACKGROUND We previously reported the case of a 64-year-old man with mediastinitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in which the infecting bacterium acquired linezolid resistance after only 14 days treatment with linezolid. We therefore investigated relevant clinical isolates for possible mechanisms of this rapid acquisition of linezolid resistance. METHODS Using clinical S. aureus isolates, w...

Introduction: Mycoplasmas are one of the most serious contaminants of cellular cultures and their biological productions. Mycoplasma diagnosis is conducted on the basis of culture and molecular methods. These methods are different from each other in terms of accuracy, reliability, and sensitivity. This study aimed to trace the mycoplasma contaminations in culture samples using 16S rRNA specific...
