Expanded multilocus sequence typing for burkholderia species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
PCR primers targeting loci in the current Burkholderia cepacia complex multilocus sequence typing scheme were redesigned to (i) more reliably amplify these loci from B. cepacia complex species, (ii) amplify these same loci from additional Burkholderia species, and (iii) enable the use of a single primer set per locus for both amplification and DNA sequencing.

Direct culture-independent Strain typing of Burkholderia cepacia complex in sputum samples from patients with cystic fibrosis.
We examined if multilocus sequence typing (MLST), a method for genotyping and species identification of Burkholderia cepacia complex bacteria, could be applied directly to cystic fibrosis sputum. The redesigned nested-PCR MLST format was successfully used to accurately identify strains in 23 sputum samples, of which 8 were culture negative.
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing scheme that provides both species and strain differentiation for the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
A single multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed for precise characterization of the opportunistic pathogens of Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC), a group composed of at least nine closely related species. Seven conserved housekeeping genes were selected after a comparison of five Burkholderia species, and a collection of strains was subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis usi...
متن کاملEnvironmental Burkholderia cepacia Complex Isolates from Human Infections
Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), found in many environments, are associated with clinical infections. Examining diverse species and strains from different environments with multilocus sequence typing, we identified > 20% of 381 clinical isolates as indistinguishable from those in the environment. This finding links the natural environment with the emergence of many Bcc infecti...
متن کاملA multilocus sequence typing scheme implies population structure and reveals several putative novel Achromobacter species.
The genus Achromobacter currently is comprised of seven species, including Achromobacter xylosoxidans, an opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen that displays broad-spectrum antimicrobial resistance and is recognized as causing chronic respiratory tract infection in persons with cystic fibrosis (CF). To enable strain typing for global epidemiologic investigations, to clarify the taxonomy of "Ach...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing Breathes Life into a Microbial Metagenome
Shot-gun sequencing of DNA isolated from the environment and the assembly of metagenomes from the resulting data has considerably advanced the study of microbial diversity. However, the subsequent matching of these hypothetical metagenomes to cultivable microorganisms is a limitation of such cultivation-independent methods of population analysis. Using a nucleotide sequence-based genetic typing...
