rRNA gene restriction patterns and plasmid analysis as a tool for typing Salmonella enteritidis

Research in Microbiology
G Martinetti, M Altwegg

Abstract

We have evaluated the usefulness of ribosomal RNA gene restriction patterns and of plasmid analysis for the typing of Salmonella serotype enteritidis isolates. Strains were isolated from single patients excreting the organism for up to about 4 months, as well as from clusters of patients who had probably been exposed to the same source of infection. The sensitivity of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) analysis was dependent on the restriction enzyme used; of 14 different enzymes, only SmaI and SphI showed different rDNA patterns. Differences were detected between clusters, but all strains belonging to a given cluster showed identical rDNA patterns. In one single strain (isolated at day 66), we observed an SphI pattern that was not identical to that of the original isolate from the same patient. Strains were also typed by plasmid analysis. All strains harboured a plasmid of approximately 55 kb with identical restriction patterns. Smaller plasmids of 4.5 and 4.3 kb were isolated from all the strains belonging to one and two clusters, respectively. We have demonstrated that the analysis of rRNA genes is a sensitive and useful method for epidemiological typing of Salmonella serotype enteritidis, which can be complemented by analysis of plasmids...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
