Development of species-specific hybridization probes for marine luminous bacteria by using in vitro DNA amplification.
By using two highly conserved region of the luxA gene as primers, polymerase chain reaction amplification methods were used to prepare species-specific probes against the luciferase gene from four major groups of marine luminous bacteria. Laboratory studies with test strains indicated that three of the four probes cross-reacted with themselves and with one or more of the other species at low st...
متن کاملIncreasing the specificity of colony hybridization when using heterologous probes.
Goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate was diluted in PBS containing 10% BSA. This conjugate has been successfully used from various manufacturers; however, specific lots need to be titrated for optimal performance. One particular preparation of HRPconjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, IgM and IgA (Catalog No. A 0412; Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO, USA) was diluted at 1...
متن کاملDetection of hemolytic Listeria monocytogenes by using DNA colony hybridization.
A fragment of about 500 base pairs of the beta-hemolysin gene from Listeria monocytogenes was used to screen different bacterial strains by DNA colony hybridization. The cells in the colonies were lysed by microwaves in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Of 52 different strains of Listeria species screened, only the DNA from beta-hemolytic (CAMP-positive) strains of L. monocytogenes hybridized w...
متن کاملIdentification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli by colony hybridization with nonradioactive digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains were readily identified in pure and mixed cultures with nonradioactive, digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes coding for heat-labile (LTI) and heat-stable (STaI, STaII, and STb) enterotoxins. Digoxigenin-labeled ETEC fragments were more sensitive than and exhibited less nonspecific background contamination than biotinylated ETEC probes.
متن کاملSynthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes for detecting heat-stable enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli by DNA colony hybridization.
DNA colony hybridization was used to identify and enumerate enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains in foods. The cells were identified and enumerated by using synthetic polynucleotide probes for the heat-stable enterotoxin genes. These 22-base oligonucleotides, made from known nucleotide sequences of the genes for the heat-stable enterotoxins of human and porcine strains of E. coli, contain t...
