Abstract

Outbreaks of rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM) infections are increasingly being reported worldwide. Information about genetic relatedness of isolates obtained during outbreaks can provide opportunities for prompt intervention. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is expensive, time consuming, and labor intensive. Other than that, Mycobacterium abscessus isolates can suffer DNA degradation during electrophoresis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods are cheaper, faster, and easier to perform, but discriminatory power varies depending on the primer used. In this study, we tested the competence of enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR in comparison with PFGE to distinguish unrelated isolates (24 Mycobacterium chelonae and 24 M. abscessus) obtained from human and/or environmental samples and to group 56 isolates from 6 outbreaks confirmed epidemiologically, caused by M. chelonae and M. abscessus after ophthalmologic refractive surgery and mesotherapy. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR presented discriminatory power, calculated using Simpson's index of diversity, of 0.989 for M. abscessus and 0.975 for M. chelonae and grouped outbreak isolates in distinct groups showing epidemiol...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
