Phylogeny of Porphyromonas gingivalis by ribosomal intergenic spacer region analysis.
Periodontitis has been associated with the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, and previous studies have shown phenotypic differences in the pathogenicities of strains of P. gingivalis. An accurate and comprehensive phylogeny of strains of P. gingivalis would be useful in determining if there is an evolutionary basis to pathogenicity in this species. Previous phylogenies of P. gingivalis stra...
متن کاملSequencing of the ribosomal intergenic spacer region for strain identification of Porphyromonas gingivalis.
The ribosomal intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) of 19 laboratory strains and 30 clinical samples of Porphyromonas gingivalis were amplified by PCR and sequenced to provide a strain identifier. The ISR is a variable region of DNA located between the conserved 16S and 23S rRNA genes. This makes it an ideal locus for differentiation of strains within a species: primers specific for the conserved fl...
متن کاملHuman ribosomal RNA intergenic spacer sequence.
The human rDNA tandem repeat consists of 13.3 kb of transcribed sequence and about 30 kb of intergenic spacer of unknown function. For descriptive purposes, it is convenient to divide the ribosomal repeat into 4 EcoRI fragments, A D . The C fragment contains only intergenic spacer sequences, and ends some 500 bp upstream of the ribosomal RNA promoter. We had previously described the terminal Ba...
متن کاملSpecies identification and strain differentiation of dermatophyte fungi by analysis of ribosomal-DNA intergenic spacer regions.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) identified in the ribosomal-DNA (rDNA) repeat were used for molecular strain differentiation of the dermatophyte fungus Trichophyton rubrum. The polymorphisms were detected by hybridization of EcoRI-digested T. rubrum genomic DNAs with a probe amplified from the small-subunit (18S) rDNA and adjacent internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The...
متن کاملCultivation-independent characterization of methylobacterium populations in the plant phyllosphere by automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis.
Bacteria of the genus Methylobacterium are widespread in the environment, but their ecological role in ecosystems, such as the plant phyllosphere, is not very well understood. To gain better insight into the distribution of different Methylobacterium species in diverse ecosystems, a rapid and specific cultivation-independent method for detection of these organisms and analysis of their communit...
