Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in India

چکیده
The usefulness of random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis for typing Indian strains of M. tuberculosis was investigated. M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis DT and 42 clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis were subjected to RAPD-PCR using 7 random decamer primers. All 7 primers were found to be differentiated and produced specific RAPD profiles. The polymorphic amplicons served as RAPD markers for M. tuberculosis. The dendrograms, obtained by different primers, showed the discriminatory ability of the primers. RAPD analysis provided a rapid and easy means of identifying polymorphism in M. tuberculosis isolates, and it was found to be a valuable alternative epidemiological tool. In addition, the results of the present study showed heterogeneity in the M. tuberculosis strains in the population studied.

Molecular epidemiology that integrates molecular approaches into the convention epidemiologic investigations has proved quite useful in tracing the transmission of drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in USA. Molecular epidemiological tools for tuberculosis include both restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) as well as PCR methods. The most useful methods are the IS 6110 RFLP anal...

101 isolates of Brucella spp. including the reference (n=7) and the Iranian field strains belonging to last years 1961-2003 (n=94) were biotyped and classified into 9 biotypes. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using a ten mer-AP4 primer was generated 72 reproduciable DNA band. The typeability was 100%. The thirteen isolates were classified into five groups, each containing 2-4 b...
متن کاملApplication of DNA markers to estimate genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains.
The obligatory human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is the most important etiological factor of tuberculosis. Unfortunately, there is little information about genetic diversity of this pathogen. The main aim of this research was the estimation of genetic diversity of M. tuberculosis on the basis of various categories of DNA markers. The genome of 32 strains were scanned by DNA markers su...
