Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of chromosomal DNA is one of the powerful molecular tools used in the fingerprinting of microorganism and epidemiological studies. In a wet-lab setting, pattern-based classification of organism using RFLP begins with the digestion of DNA with one to two restriction enzymes, which is followed by gel electrophoresis. This wet-lab approach may not be...

Since 1993, all Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates recovered in the province of Manitoba, Canada, have been genotyped by the standard IS6110-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method for routine surveillance, prevention, and control purposes. To date, our laboratory has collected 1,290 isolates, from which we have identified approximately 390 unique fingerprint patterns or "types....

The molecular epidemiology of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains causing meningitis in children was studied in France. Typing procedures included analysis of total DNA polymorphism by random amplification of polymorphic DNA, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the ribosomal RNA gene regions, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Penicillin-binding prot...

AIMS The three main aims of the study were the assessment of the genetic relationship between a deviating Erwinia amylovora strain isolated from Amelanchier sp. (Maloideae) grown in Canada and other strains from Maloideae and Rosoideae, the investigation of the variability of the PstI fragment of the pEA29 plasmid using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and the determinat...

We have investigated the effect of genetic alterations in the rpsL gene on the MICs of streptomycin for Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Direct DNA sequencing showed a point mutation in 23/121 strains; in 18 strains the mutation was associated with an amino acid change. The MICs of streptomycin in 22 out of 23 point-mutated strains were > or = 256 mg/L. Restriction fragment length polymorphi...

background: indigenous chickens could serve as precious genetic resources that should be considered in conservation and breeding programs. the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) has a strong association to disease resistance/susceptibility, production and reproduction traits in chicken. therefore, identifying its polymorphism in populations under selective breeding could be used for selecti...

Kappa-casein (κ-casein) is one of the most abundant milk proteins. Its main function is to avoid the aggregation of casein micelles, keeping them, and therefore calcium phosphate, in pockets in solution. In bovines, a κ-casein functional polymorphism has been associated with fat, calcium, and protein milk contents and faster curd contraction in cheese production. Quicker curd contraction reduce...
