چکیده

We subtyped Brazilian Yersinia pestis strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). This was done with 22 Brazilian Y. pestis strains: 17 from an outbreak and 5 from endemic routine surveillance. The strains were divided into 2 groups (I and II), 8 subgroups (A-H) and 19 PFGE profiles or pulsotypes. PFGE did not separate outbreak from non-outbreak strains, as identical pulsotype patterns were found among outbreak strains and strains obtained from surveillance. However, it was able to detect intraspecific genetic diversity among Brazilian strains. This PFGE technique was able to differentiate a homogeneous group of Brazilian Y. pestis strains.

Subtyping of Salmonella enterica isolated from humans and food animals using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis

Salmonella infections are the second leading cause of zoonotic bacterial foodborne illness. Main source of infection in human is contaminated food products. The aim of this study was sub typing isolates of Salmonella entericaobtained during our previous study byPulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) technique. All 46 Salmonella isolates were serotyped and then subjected to PFGE. Total isolates...

Development of a Genome Fingerprint Database to Identify Genetically Engineered Microbes

The development of recombinant DNA technology and the current state of bioscience has for the first time made the laboratory creation of new biological weapons a real possibility. A critical part of any countermeasures is the ability to identify strains that are unlike previous strains that have been isolated, i.e. are “outside the box” of known genetic variability for the organism. A database ...

Molecular typing of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from livestock in Brazil.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can infect a broad range of animals. In Brazil, this bacterium has been isolated from healthy and sick animals from sporadic cases and outbreaks of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis among livestock. However, the molecular diversity of these isolates is little understood. In this study, we used multilocus sequence typing, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR ...

Genotyping of a homogeneous group of Yersinia pestis strains isolated in the United States.

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of deadly plague, is considered a reemerging infectious disease and a significant biological terrorism threat. The present project focused on epidemiological investigation of the genetic variability of well-documented strains of Y. pestis from the United States by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) ana...
