PCR-based DNA fingerprinting of Giardia duodenalis isolates using the intergenic rDNA spacer.
The potential for the non-coding intergenic rDNA spacer (IGS) to DNA fingerprint Giardia duodenalis isolates was investigated. Conserved PCR primers, specific for the flanking large and small rDNA genes, were used to amplify the IGS from 52 in vitro-cultured Giardia isolates. Four distinct IGS-PCR size groups (1.35-1.6 kb) were observed, which correlated closely with the major genetic assemblag...
متن کاملDetection and genotyping of Giardia intestinalis isolates using intergenic spacers(IGS)-based PCR.
Giardia intestinalis infections arise primarily from contaminated food or water. Zoonotic transmission is possible, and at least 7 major assemblages including 2 assemblages recovered from humans have been identified. The determination of the genotype of G. intestinalis is useful not only for assessing the correlation of clinical symptoms and genotypes, but also for finding the infection route a...
متن کاملPCR fingerprinting of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale using polymorphic subrepeat loci in the rDNA nontranscribed spacer.
The sequence of the nontranscribed spacer (NTS) region of the rDNA of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale strain 2111 was determined, and three individual subrepeat loci identified. The first repeat region contained eight tandem copies of a degenerate 33-43 bp sequence, whilst the second had two complete and two partial 300 bp repeats. The third locus contained six tandemly repetitiv...
متن کاملIdentification of acetic acid bacteria by RFLP of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer.
DNA corresponding to 16S rDNA and the 165-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (ITS) from 22 reference strains of acetic acid bacteria, representing the diversity of the family Acetobacteraceae, and 24 indigenous acetic acid bacteria isolated from wine fermentations were analysed by PCR-RFLP. Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558T and Escherichia coli ATCC 11775T were included as outgroups. PCR-amplified products ...
متن کاملDetection of giardine gene in local isolates of Giardia duodenalis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite that causes diarrhoea and malabsorption in children. The parasite also infects AIDS patients with a weak immune system. A study was carried out on six local isolates of Giardia duodenalis (110, 7304, 6304, M007, 2002 and 6307) from faeces of Orang Asli patients admitted to the Gombak Hospital. WB, a reference pathogenic strain from human and G. muris...
