Methods PFGE protocol was optimized in terms of plug preparation procedure, restriction enzymes and configuration of electrophoretic parameters. MLVA method was evaluated by finding variable number tandem repeats in two genomes of Citrobacter strains. The ribotyping was performed by using the automated RiboPrinter system. Results We optimized the plug preparation procedure, focused on the cell suspension concentration (turbidity of 2.5 to 3.5), SDS addition (no SDS needed) and lysis time (1 h), and selected the appropriate restriction enzyme (Xbal) and the electrophoretic parameters (1.0 s-20.0 s for 19 h) of PFGE. There was nearly no discriminatory power of MLVA between Citrobacter strains. For 51 Citrobacter strains, automated ribotyping gave a D-value of 0.9945, while PFGE gave a D-value of 0.9969. Both PFGE and automated ribotyping clustered strains from the same sources (with the same species from the same place at the same time identified as the same source) and divided strains from different sources (from different years, places and hosts) into different subtypes. Conclusion PFGE protocol established in this paper and automated ribotyping are suitable for application in Citrobacter subtyping.展开更多

文摘目的掌握江苏省2018年人感染布鲁氏菌主要流行株的种型和基因型。方法运用普通PCR及AMOS多重PCR确认分离株的生物种型;采用多位点序列分型(Multilocus sequence analysis,MLSA)和多位点串联重复序列分析(Multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis,MLVA)鉴定基因型,并与国内外流行株进行聚类分析。结果2018年共分离到56株布鲁氏菌,MLSA分型显示一株菌为猪种布鲁氏菌ST(Sequence type)17型,其他均为羊种布鲁氏菌ST8型。MLVA将56株菌分为47个基因亚型(46个羊种,1个猪种),聚类显示羊种布鲁氏菌全部为“东地中海簇”。结论2018年江苏省人感染布病主要为“东地中海簇”的ST8型羊种布鲁氏菌,并首次发现一例人感染ST17型猪种布鲁氏菌。
