[Method] Genomic DNA from woltberry leaves extracted by modified CTAB method were regarded as templates for PCR amplification by specific primer, clone and sequencing. [Result] The nrDNA ITS sequences were obtained and then differentiated among three tested materials. [Conclusion] PCR amplification and sequencing on nrDNA ITS is a feasible approach to identify different woltberry germplasm resources.展开更多

Myroides sp. infections have been reported mainly in China. Myroides sp. is highly resistant to most available antibiotics, but the resistance mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Current strain identification methods based on biochemical traits are unable to identify strains accurately at the species level. While 16S ribosomal RNA （rRNA） gene sequencing can accurately achieve this, it fails to give information on the status and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, because the 16S rRNA sequence contains no information on resistance genes, resistance islands or enzymes. We hypothesized that ob- taining the whole genome sequence of Myroides sp., using next generation sequencing methods, would help to clarify the mechanisms of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance, and guide antibiotic selection to treat Myroides sp. infec- tions. As Myroides sp. can survive in hospitals and the environment, there is a risk of nosocomial infections and pandemics. For better management of Myroides sp. infections, it is imperative to apply next generation sequencing technologies to clarify the antibiotic resistance mechanisms in these bacteria.展开更多
