FlaB PCR-based identification of pathogenic leptospiral isolates.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The genus Leptospira comprises pathogenic and saprophytic strains. Conventional methods for the identification of pathogenic leptospiral isolates are cumbersome and laborious. In view of these limitations, the search for alternative methods have been focused on DNA based techniques. In this study, we have developed an effective method for the rapid identification of pathogeni...
متن کاملMolecular detection of pathogenic leptospiral serovars by PCR, based on lipL21 gene
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with global distribution that caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Accurate diagnosis for differentiation of leptospirosis from other pyrogenic infections prevailing in the same locality and is imperative for proper treatment. Therefore a molecular diagnostic test with high specificity and sensitivity such as PCR is essential. Gene encodi...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR on leptospiral isolates from Kolenchery, Kerala, India.
Human leptospirosis causes severe multiorgan dysfunctions that may end in multiorgan failure and death. The methods in hand for diagnosis of leptospirosis like culture, ELISA and MAT only help to confirm the disease, and are of little value in early detection. The aim of this study was to find out if the two sets of primers described earlier could detect all the isolates from the area, for the ...
متن کاملDistribution of the leptospiral immunoglobulin-like (lig) genes in pathogenic Leptospira species and application of ligB to typing leptospiral isolates.
The family of leptospiral immunoglobulin-like (lig) genes comprises ligA, ligB and ligC. This study used PCR to demonstrate the presence of lig genes among serovars from a collection of leptospiral strains and clinical isolates. Whilst ligA and ligC appeared to be present in a limited number of pathogenic serovars, the ligB gene was distributed ubiquitously among all pathogenic strains. None of...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Flab for Leptospira Identification.
PCR amplification of the nearly full-length of virulence flagellin gene (flaB) was employed for rapid identification of Leptospira spp and of Leptospira-specific 16S rDNA (rrs) for differentiation from other bacteria. This approach distinguished pathogenic from non-pathogenic Leptospira strains, and the generation of restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles using a combination of restr...
