Characterization of Bacteria by Ribotyping
نویسنده
چکیده
Ribotyping, a molecular method based on the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of ribosomal RNA genes, has been widely adopted to distinguish a variety of bacteria (1-5). For the past five years ATCC has been using the RiboPrinter® Microbial Characterization system (Qualicon Inc., Wilmington, DE) as a primary method for characterizing strains during the quality control process.

Characterization, ribotyping and capsular PCR typing of Pasteurella multocida isolated from Iranian sheep and goats
Pasteurella multocida is considered to be an important cause of ovine pneumonia and results causes considerable economic losses in Iran. Ribotyping PCR (Ribo-PCR) was used for investigating the diversity of ovine and caprine P.multocida. A total of 120 swab tonsil and nasal samples were obtained from sheep and goats. They were analyzed by biochemical tests and Ribo-PCR 16S-23S ribosomal RNA gen...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterizationand PCR-ribotyping of Pseudomonas fluorescensisolates, in tracking contamination routes in the production line of pasteurized milk
Contamination sites of Pseudomonas fluorescenswere traced in the production line for milk pasteurization in a large dairy plant in Shiraz, Iran. Samples of raw and pasteurized milk were collected at six sites along the line. All milk samples were incubated at 7°C until the aerobic plate count had reached 10 6 -10 7 cfu mL-1. Colonies were picked randomly and identified. No growth of gram negati...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) protein analysis, automated ribotyping, and phenotypic tests (e.g., cell morphology, gas production from glucose, growth and acid production on homofermemtative-heterofermentative differential (HHD) agar medium, sugar fermentation patterns) were used to identify 23 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated fro...
متن کاملNisin-producing Lactococcus lactis strains isolated from human milk.
Characterization by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing, ribotyping, and green fluorescent protein-based nisin bioassay revealed that 6 of 20 human milk samples contained nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis bacteria. This suggests that the history of humans consuming nisin is older than the tradition of consuming fermented milk products.
متن کاملLaboratory diagnosis of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea and molecular characterization of clinical isolates.
We evaluated a three-step algorithm for laboratory diagnosis of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD). First, stool specimens were screened using an EIA test for glutamate dehydrogenase detection. Screen-positive specimens were tested by a rapid cytotoxintoxin A/B assay and subjected to stool culture. All cultures positive for C. difficile underwent toxigenic culture. The results sh...
