Epidemiological study of Vibrio cholerae using variable number of tandem repeats.
By conventional genetic methods, including pulse-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing, most pathogenic, cholera toxin-positive O1 and O139 isolates of Vibrio cholerae cannot be distinguished. We evaluated relationships among 173 V. cholerae isolates collected between 1992 and 2007 from different geographic areas in India by analyzing five variable number of tandem repeat (VN...
متن کاملEpidemiologic Study of Vibrio vulnificus Infections by Using Variable Number Tandem Repeats
A 3-year environmental and clinical Vibrio vulnificus survey using simple-sequence repeats typing shows that V. vulnificus biotype 3 constitutes approximately 21% of the bacterium population in tested aquaculture ponds as opposed to approximately 86% of clinical cases. Simple-sequence repeats proved to be a useful epidemiologic tool, providing information on the environmental source of the path...

Tel: +81-43-266-6723, Fax: +81-43-265-5544, E-mail: [email protected] Tuberculosis is one of the major bacterial diseases in Japan (1). Advances in the molecular epidemiological analysis of this disease have greatly improved t...
متن کاملassociation of variable number of tandem repeats in endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene with coronary artery disease
endo-derived nitric oxide (no) is synthesized from l-arginine by endothelium nitric oxide synthase (enos). since reduced no synthesis has been implicated in the development of coronary atherosclerosis; we hypothesized that polymorphisms of nos gene might be associated with increased susceptibility to this disorder and coronary artery disease (cad). we studied the 27 base pair tandem repeat poly...
متن کاملApplication of variable number of tandem repeats typing to describe familial outbreaks of brucellosis in Argentina.
Consumption of inadequately pasteurized dairy products is the most common means of transmission of brucellosis. This report describes two foodborne outbreaks that occurred in families infected after consumption of fresh home-made cheese bought in different Argentine provinces. High resolution variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)-based analysis revealed two well-defined groups comprising ess...
