application of pulsed field gel electrophoresis for study of genetic diversity in mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from tuberculosis patients

چکیده
background mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping can effectively improve tuberculosis (tb) control programs by controlling disease transmission. pulsed field gel electrophoresis (pfge) is a particularly powerful tool for determination of clonal identity of bacteria providing information for understanding and controlling the spread of disease. objectives the aim of present study was to investigate the genetic diversity of m. tuberculosis strains in khuzestan province by the pfge technique. patients and methods in total, 80 m. tuberculosis positive cultures were obtained from tuberculosis patients. pfge was performed on 60 pcr-confirmed isolates by using drai and xbai restriction enzymes according to standard protocols. plugs containing digested dna were then loaded on agarose gels and run using contour-clamped homogenous electric fields. results fifty distinct dna banding patterns were obtained by digestion of dna with drai and 38 dna banding patterns by digestion with xbai restriction enzymes. the patterns comprised of 17 different clusters in which cluster i was the major one, containing six strains. three clusters contained three strains each and the 13 remaining clusters comprised of two strains each. digestion with drai yielded 15-20 dna fragments with 50-485 kb size, while digestion by xbai produced dna fragments with a size smaller than 50-242 kb. conclusions despite the ability of pfge for study of genetic diversity of many mycobacterial species and it being considered as a robust and useful tool, in this study we only found a 15% epidemiological relationship amongst the isolates. thus, for higher discrimination of genotypic clusters among m. tuberculosis clinical isolates, the application of more sophisticated complementary techniques is required.

متن کاملComparison of Genetic Patterns of E. coli Strains Isolated from Patients with Cystitis and Pyelonephritis, Using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis
Background & Aims: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequently acquired bacterial infections caused by a large genetically heterogeneous group of Escherichia coli which are called uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). Cystitis and pyelonephritis are two most common symptoms seen in patients with UTI. The genetic diversity of this organism has hampered the identification of UTI strains a...
متن کاملmolecular epidemiology of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in 100 patients with tuberculosis using pulsed field gel electrophoresis
conclusions molecular epidemiology studies of infectious diseases have been useful when bacterial isolates have been clustered in a period of time and in different geographical regions with variable antibiotic resistance patterns. in spite of high geographical differences and different antibiotic resistant patterns, low genetic diversity among the studied tb isolates may refer to the low rate o...
متن کاملInvestigation of genetic diversity of Salmonella enterica strains isolated from patients by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis
Salmonellosis is one of the world’s most common zoonotic infections that cause a wide spectrum of different diseases in organisms. Salmonella infection in humans maybe occurs as acute enterocolitis, intestinal fever (typhoid or Paratyphoid) and bacteremia with or without clinical signs. There must be differences between Salmonella enterocolitis and all cases of acute diarrhea, including invasiv...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in 100 Patients With Tuberculosis Using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread infectious disease. Today, TB has created a public health crisis in the world. Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates is useful for surveying the dynamics of TB infection, identifying new outbreaks, and preventing the disease. Different molecular methods for clustering of M. tuberculosis isolates have been used. OBJECTIVES During a one y...
