Population diversity of Staphylococcus intermedius isolates from various host species: typing by 16S-23S intergenic ribosomal DNA spacer polymorphism analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twelve 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer (ITS-PCR) types were identified among 57 Staphylococcus intermedius isolates from humans and other animals. Six ITS-PCR types were host specific, and most human and canine strains belonged to the same types (A and J). Pigeon, horse, and mink strains appeared more heterogeneous.

Limited diversity among human isolates of Bartonella henselae.
A study of 59 isolates of Bartonella henselae reveals relatively limited diversity among those of human origin (n = 28). Either of two distinct alleles of both gltA and 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was found in all isolates, with a high level of congruity between 16S and gltA inheritance among proven human pathogens. Human isolates from all over Eastern Australia were most commonly 16S rDNA (Bergma...
متن کاملPrevalence and characterization of leukotoxin-producing Staphylococcus intermedius in Isolates from dogs and pigeons.
Staphylococcus intermedius isolates from dogs (n = 44) and pigeons (n = 62) were categorized into 12 types by intergenic ribosomal DNA spacer polymorphism analysis. All isolates from pigeons were lukS positive and all isolates from dogs were lukS and lukF positive by dot blot analysis. The mean leukotoxicity titer for dog isolates was at least 129-fold higher than that for pigeon isolates.
متن کاملMolecular differentiation of Renibacterium salmoninarum isolates from worldwide locations.
Renibacterium salmoninarum is a genospecies that is an obligate pathogen of salmonid fish and is capable of intracellular survival. Conventional typing systems have failed to differentiate isolates of R. salmoninarum. We used two methods to assess the extent of molecular variation which was present in isolates from different geographic locations. In one analysis we investigated possible polymor...
متن کاملHeteroduplex structures in 16S-23S rRNA intergenic transcribed spacer PCR products reveal ribosomal interoperonic polymorphisms within single Frankia strains.
AIMS Detection of polymorphisms in intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) 16S-23S rRNA within single Frankia strains. METHODS AND RESULTS Polymorphisms in the 16S-23S rRNA ITS were investigated in single-colony subcultures of seven Frankia isolates. Multiple ITS-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) bands were detected solely in isolates BMG5.5 and BMG5.11. The slow-migrating bands in the ITS-PCR agar...
متن کاملIdentification of acetic acid bacteria by RFLP of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer.
DNA corresponding to 16S rDNA and the 165-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (ITS) from 22 reference strains of acetic acid bacteria, representing the diversity of the family Acetobacteraceae, and 24 indigenous acetic acid bacteria isolated from wine fermentations were analysed by PCR-RFLP. Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558T and Escherichia coli ATCC 11775T were included as outgroups. PCR-amplified products ...
