Vir typing: a long-PCR typing method for group A streptococci.
We have developed a new procedure (Vir typing) for typing Streptococcus pyogenes, by amplifying the entire 5- to 7-kb variable vir regulon by long PCR. The amplified DNA is then cleaved with HaeIII and visualized by ethidium bromide fluorescence after agarose gel electrophoresis. A simple procedure for preparing DNA of sufficiently high quality from 96 samples was employed simultaneously. This ...
متن کاملTyping Group a Hemolytic Streptococci
Two methods of typing group A hemolytic streptococci have been described: slide agglutination and anti-M precipitin tests. The first, developed by Griffith (1), is more extensively used. I t has the distinct advantages of requiring small amounts of serum and culture, and of a quick reaction time when all conditions are favorable. I t has certain disadvantages: The granular growth of some strain...
متن کاملMethod for phage typing group A type 49 streptococci.
A method of phage subtyping group A type 49 streptococci is described. The method is similar to that used for phage typing staphylococci, except that lysates obtained by induction with mitomycin C rather than propagated stock phages were used. Five type 49 strains were used as phage donors. Seventy-two strains of type 49 streptococci isolated from 10 worldwide sources were examined by this meth...
متن کاملGrowth Media for Typing Group a Streptococci.
It is frequently not possible to type group A streptococei. Only 33% of group A streptococei from Nashville children in a recent study (Quinn and Martin, Am. J. Hyg. 73:193, 1961) were typable, and there have been years when as few as 5% could be typed. This study was designed to test one possible reason for failure to type certain strains of group A streptococci, namely, inadequacy of growth m...
متن کاملSimplification of a locus-specific DNA typing method (Vir typing) for Streptococcus pyogenes.
We describe a simplification of a highly discriminatory molecular typing method, called Vir typing, for Streptococcus pyogenes (D. Gardiner, J. Hartas, B. Currie, J. D. Mathews, D. J. Kemp, and K. S. Sriprakash, PCR Methods Appl. 4:288-293, 1995). The procedure can be completed within a day, is reproducible, and can be applied directly to colonies growing on primary culture plates, allowing rap...
