Confirmation of aerogenic strains of Shigella boydii 13 and further study of Shigella serotypes by DNA relatedness.

چکیده
Shigella boydii 13 strains are separable from other Shigella and Escherichia coli strains on the basis of DNA relatedness. From this observation, it was possible to confirm the existence of aerogenic S. boydii 13 strains. DNA relatedness studies also showed that strains of E. coli and strains representing all other serotypes of Shigella, including provisional strains, belong to the same genetic species.

Clonal relationships among Shigella serotypes suggested by cryptic flagellin gene polymorphism.
The presence of cryptic fliC alleles in the genomes of 120 strains representative of the four Shigella species was investigated. One fragment was obtained by PCR amplification of fliC, with a size varying from 1.2 to 3.2 kbp, depending on the species or serotype. After digestion with endonuclease HhaI, the number of fragments in patterns varied from three to nine, with sizes of between 115 and ...
متن کاملAddition of three new serotypes of Shigella boydii to the Shigella schema.
No new serotypes have been added to the Shigella schema since 1958, although several provisional serotypes have been described. We conducted biochemical and serological studies on three provisional Shigella boydii serotypes. Four strains of serotype 2710-54 from four widely separated countries, 7 strains of serotype 3615-53 from three different countries, and 31 strains of serotype 1344-78 (E10...
متن کاملCharacterization of Shigella dysenteriae serotypes 11, 12, and 13.
We conducted serologic and biochemical studies on strains of three provisional Shigella serotypes. Included were 19 strains of serotype 3873-50 from three countries (1 from Mexico, 1 from Netherlands Antilles, and 17 from the United States), 13 strains of serotype 3341-55 from three countries (1 from Canada, 1 from Bulgaria, and 11 from the United States), and 19 strains of serotype 19809-73 fr...
متن کاملDevelopment of a serotype-specific DNA microarray for identification of some Shigella and pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
Shigella and pathogenic Escherichia coli are major causes of human infectious diseases and are responsible for millions of cases of diarrhea worldwide every year. A convenient and rapid method to identify highly pathogenic serotypes of Shigella and E. coli is needed for large-scale epidemiologic study, timely clinical diagnosis, and reliable quarantine of the pathogens. In this study, a DNA mic...
متن کاملSequence analysis of four Shigella boydii O-antigen loci: implication for Escherichia coli and Shigella relationships.
Shigella strains are in reality clones of Escherichia coli and are believed to have emerged relatively recently (G. M. Pupo, R. Lan, and P. R. Reeves, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:10567-10572, 2000). There are 33 O-antigen forms in these Shigella clones, of which 12 are identical to O antigens of other E. coli strains. We sequenced O-antigen gene clusters from Shigella boydii serotypes 4, 5, 6...
