Detection of virulence associated genes, haemolysin and protease amongst Vibrio cholerae isolated in Malaysia.
Eighty-four strains of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139 and non-O1/non-O139 from clinical and environmental sources were investigated for the presence of the toxin co-regulated pilus gene, tcpA, the virulence cassette genes ctxA, zot, ace and cep and also for their ability to elaborate haemolysin and protease. The ctxA and zot genes were detected using DNA-DNA hybridization while the ace, cep and tcpA ...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae haemolysin: genetic constitution and biotype
voltage-gated K channels in other cell types [Ba 2 mM; Cs 5 mM; TEA (tetraethylammonium) 20 mM; EGTA 1 mM) (Lew & Ferreira, 1978; Egan et ul., 1987) did not, however, alter ouabainand bumetanide-insensitive K uptake. The substitution of CH,SO, for CI in the incubation medium reduced the residual K uptake by about 18%, suggesting that a Cldependent K transport pathway similar to that observed in...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Zonula Occludens Toxin (zot) Genes in Vibrio Cholerae O1 using PCR
Background: Zot (Zonula occludens toxin) is one of the secretion toxins of Vibrio cholerae in small intestine that binds to certain receptors in the epithelial cells and causes a change in the structure of tight junction. The purpose of this research is rapid detection of zot enterotoxin gene using PCR. Materials and Methods: The genomic DNA was extracted by DNA isolation kit and gene amplific...
متن کاملPrevalence of virulence-associated genes in clinical and environmental Vibrio cholerae strains isolated in Brazil between 1991 and 1999.
Genes located on the CTX element and the Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity island (VPI) were investigated in 297 clinical V. cholerae O1 and 76 environmental O1 and non-O1 isolates from Brazil between 1991 and 1999. RAPD analysis suggested that serogroup O1 strains regardless of clinical or environmental source were clonal while non-O1 strains showed greater diversity. PCR analysis showed that 71% ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of serogrouping and virulence genes of Malaysian Vibrio cholerae isolated from different sources.
A pair of primers targeting the hlyA gene for Vibrio cholerae which could distinguish the classical from El Tor biotypes was designed and combined with other specific primers for ompW, rfb complex, and virulence genes such as ctxA, toxR, and tcpI in a multiplex PCR (m-PCR) assay. This m-PCR correctly identified 39 V. cholerae from clinical, water and seafood samples. The efficiency of this mult...
