Development of a computer software for analysis of SDS-PAGE protein fingerprints of bacterial isolates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein fingerprinting is a widely used technique in epidemiological studies for typing bacterial strains. This study reports the development of a computer based gel analysis system. The system has the capability to analyse SDS-PAGE whole-cell protein profiles using digital image processing techniques. The software incorporates spatial and frequency domain operators for image enhancement, support for geometric correction of images and new algorithms for identification of strain tracks and protein bands. The system also provides facilities for correcting imaging defects for inter-gel comparison, similarity analysis, clustering and pictorial representation of results as a dendrogram. The software is highly interactive, user-friendly and can produce accurate results for differentiation of bacterial strains with minimal overhead of time.

In the present study, we investigated total cell protein patterns of ten isolates of Epidermophyton Floccosum Var.pigmented by SDS-PAGE on 10% polyacrylamide resolving gels. Densitometric analysis of the gels allowed to detect more than 31 clearly detectable mycelial protein bands with molecular weights in the range of 12 to 98 KD proteins of 12.5, 13.5, 14.4, 16, 18.4, 19.7, 20.1, 23.5, 26, 27...

متن کاملSDS-PAGE Analysis of the Outer Membrane Proteins of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated from Patients in Different Wards of Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran
Background: Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) constitute the main structure and about half of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. The OMPs of Escherichia coli (E. coli) play an important role in its drug resistance. Previous studies have shown that the OMPs of E. coli enhance its pathogenic effects by helping the bacterium to evade the immune defense and promote its adsorption to host cells. ...
