Specific detection of the gene for the extracellular neutral protease of Bacillus cereus by PCR and blot hybridization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pair of primers and a gene probe for the amplification and detection of the Bacillus cereus neutral protease gene (NPRC) were developed. Specificity for the npr genes of the B. cereus group members B. cereus, B. mycoides, and B. thuringiensis was shown. Restriction polymorphism patterns of the PCR products confirmed the presence of the NPRC gene in all three species.

Objective(s): Listeria monocytogens, Bacillus cereus and Campylobacter jejuni are three toxin producing bacteria over the world, especially in Iran, and it is essential to find a certain, rapid procedure to identify these microorganisms. In this research, these bacteria were simultaneously detected by multiplex PCR technique in foods. Materials and Methods: The primary approval of bacterial str...
متن کاملMagnetic capture-hybridization method for purification and probing of mRNA for neutral protease of Bacillus cereus.
A magnetic capture-hybridization method was assessed for the isolation of prokaryotic mRNA for the neutral protease of B. cereus from liquid culture. A biotin-labeled specific probe was hybridized to the mRNA transcripts and subsequently captured by streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. mRNA was detected by dot-blot hybridization with a ds DIG-labeled DNA-probe. The magnetic capture hybridiza...
متن کاملRapid molecular techniques for detection of foodborne Bacillus cereus pathogen
Background and Objective: Bacillus cereus is responsible for several outbreaks of foodborne diseases. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to replace routine culture testing, by employing PCR directly from food to detect the bacteria and its enterotoxins. Methods: In the present study, a total of 75 Kibda sandwiches, Sausage sandwiches, Luncheon chicken, Luncheon meat and shawarma sandwiche...
متن کاملDetermination of aspartic protease gene dosage in the Onchocerca volvulusgenome
Aspartic proteases are a relatively small group of enzymes which express in various nematodes including Onchocerca volvulus. An estimation of the gene copy number corresponding to the OV7A clone, which contains a cDNA insert encoding approximately two-thirds of the entire coding sequence of aspartic protease of O. volvulus, was made by slot blot analysis in a closely related species O. gibsonig...
