Loop-mediated isothermal amplification method targeting the lytA gene for detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
It is difficult to separate Streptococcus pneumoniae from the genotypically similar species Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis, which are commensals of the human oral cavity. A novel nucleic acid amplification technique, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which amplifies DNA under isothermal conditions (63 degrees C) with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity, was exa...
متن کاملAnalysis of primer-derived, nonspecific amplification products in RAPD-PCR.
Recently, we applied the randomamplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) (17), also known as arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) (16), procedure to fingerprint genomes of various varieties and wild relatives of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) (4). Unlike restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (2), RAPD-PCR is a simpler, faster, less laborious and less expensive procedure. H...
متن کاملDetection of lytA, pspC, and rrgA genes in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from healthy children
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Many surface proteins are implicated in nasopharyngeal colonization and pathogenesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Some of these factors are candidate antigens for protein based vaccines. New vaccine designs focus on the surface proteins (e. g., pspA and pspC) and also cytolysin, and pneumolysin. In this study, 3 key virulence genes, lytA, pspC, and rrgA, which encoded ...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Insights into Peptidoglycan Access for the Lytic Amidase LytA of Streptococcus pneumoniae
UNLABELLED The cytosolic N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase LytA protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is released by bacterial lysis, associates with the cell wall via its choline-binding motif. During exponential growth, LytA accesses its peptidoglycan substrate to cause lysis only when nascent peptidoglycan synthesis is stalled by nutrient starvation or β-lactam antibiotics. Here we pre...
متن کاملSubtyping of Streptococcus uberis by DNA amplification fingerprinting.
Total DNA of Streptococcus uberis from cows with mastitis was analyzed by DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) and compared with restriction endonuclease fingerprinting (REF). DAF grouped 22 strains into 15 distinct patterns, while REF grouped them into 12 patterns. These results suggest that DAF is a useful technique for subtyping strains of S. uberis.
