替加环素不敏感鲍曼不动杆菌的分子流行病学及耐药机制

为探讨替加环素不敏感鲍曼不动杆菌Acinetobacter baumannii的耐药机制,为院内感染控制及临床合理用药提供理论依据,采用琼脂稀释法和微量肉汤稀释法检测全国多中心12个城市20家医院临床分离的94株非重复的替加环素不敏感鲍曼不动杆菌的最低抑菌浓度(Minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC),应用多位点序列分型(Multilocus sequence typing,MLST)技术进行分子流行病学研究,应用eBURST软件对MLST结果进行分析;用PCR和测序技术分析常见耐药基因(bla_(OXA-40-like)、bla_(OXA-58-like)、bla_(OXA-23-like)、bla_(OXA-51-like)、bla_(NDM-1)),与替加环素耐药相关的外排泵调控基因adeR和adeS的突变位点、trm的突变位点。经检测94株鲍曼不动杆菌除对多粘菌素B 100%敏感、对米诺环素敏感率25.5%外,其他抗菌药物的敏感率均低于3.5%,亚胺培南和美罗培南敏感率均只有1.1%。MLST分型得到12种ST分型,以ST195(45株,47.9%)、ST208(19株,20.2%)和ST457(10株,10.6%)为主,eBURST分析发现其中8个ST型均属于克隆复合体92(Clonal Complex 92,CC92);99%菌株bla_(OXA-23-like)型碳青霉烯酶基因阳性;均未扩增出bla_(NDM-1)基因;外排泵调控基因adeR和adeS的检出率分别是73.4%和91.5%,Asp26Asn和Ala97Glu分别为adeR和adeS的高频突变位点;在12株鲍曼不动杆菌中检测到了adeS基因的ISAba1,以北部地区为主;trm基因均在第240位核苷酸发生缺失突变。综上所述,替加环素不敏感鲍曼不动杆菌对除多粘菌素B外的大多数抗菌药物具有很高的耐药性,AdeABC外排泵上游的双组分调控系统adeR和adeS的缺失和突变,trm缺失突变是导致鲍曼不动杆菌对替加环素敏感性降低的主要原因。

Potential of Three-Way Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA Analysis as a Typing Method for Twelve Salmonella Serotypes

The potential of a three-way randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure (RAPD typing) for typing Salmonella enterica strains assigned to 12 serotypes was analyzed. The series of organisms used included 235 strains (326 isolates) collected mainly from clinical samples in the Principality of Asturias and 9 reference strains. RAPD typing was performed directly with broth cultures of bacteria by using three selected primers and optimized PCR conditions. The profiles obtained with the three primers were used to define RAPD types and to evaluate the procedure as a typing method at the species and serotype levels. The typeability was 100%; the reproducibility and in vitro stability could be considered good. The concordance of RAPD typing methods with serotyping methods was 100%, but some profiles obtained with two of the three primers were obtained with strains assigned to different serotypes. The discrimination index (DI) within the series of organisms was 0.94, and the DI within serotypes Typhimurium, Enteritidis, and Virchow were 0.72, 0.52, and 0.66, respectively. Within these serotypes the most common RAPD types were differentiated into phage types and vice versa; combining the types identified by the two procedures (RAPD typing and phage typing) resulted in further discrimination (DI, 0.96, 0.74, and 0.87, respectively). The efficiency, rapidity, and flexibility of the RAPD typing method support the conclusion that it can be used as a tool for identifying Salmonella organisms and as a typing method that is complementary to serotyping and phage typing methods.

The use of (GTG)5 oligonucleotide as an RAPD primer to type Campylobacter concisus

AIM: DNA fingerprinting using (GTG)(5) oligonucleotide as a primer in a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay was assessed by typing isolates of Campylobacter concisus strains, collected over a period of 8 years. METHODS AND RESULTS: RAPD analysis using the (GTG)(5) oligonucleotide as a primer was used to type 100 isolates of C. concisus comprising mostly isolates from children with diarrhoea. Using this method, 86% of the isolates were found to be genotypically diverse. Of these heterogeneous isolates, 25 of the strains were also shown to be genetically distinct in a previous study using pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The remaining isolates (14) could be classified into five profile groups based on the DNA fingerprinting patterns. The assay successfully identified epidemiologically linked strains from the unrelated genetically diverse pool of strains. CONCLUSIONS: Laboratory RADP typing using the (GTG)(5) primer proved to be useful in distinguishing related strains of C. concisus from a large pool of unrelated strains of this organism. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: RAPD typing using (GTG)(5) is a simple method that could be used to investigate the epidemiology of C. concisus. The results suggest that homologous lineages of C. concisus may exist within an otherwise heterogeneous species complex. However, these data need to be confirmed using a more robust typing method.     

Genetic diversity of Iranian clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

In the current study we aimed to execute a rather less complicated molecular tying method, i.e. the random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to find the heterogeneity of Iranian strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The isolates comprised a total of 96 strains of M. tuberculosis collected from clinical specimens of patients in Isfahan and Tehran. The isolates were assigned to the species M. tuberculosis by the key conventional and molecular methods. They were then subjected to RAPD analysis by four arbitrary primers, namely, the primers 27F, 1525R, MS- GF and INS-2. They were then evaluated for the number and intensity of the band patterns. The RAPD profiles of the Iranian isolates showed a degree of heterogeneity which varied based on the primer used. However, analysis of the isolates by primer INS-2 revealed the highest degree of diversity yielding 31 distinguishable RAPD types. RAPD analysis provides a rapid and easy means of identifying heterogeneity among the M. tuberculosis isolates. This typing system might be considered a valuable alternative molecular typing for countries with limited resources provided that the reproducibility and reliability of the method is carefully assured.     

Evaluation of three methods for DNA fingerprinting of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from goats in Poland

Phenotypic approaches based on metabolic and biological characteristics of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis have been limited due to insufficient discrimination between closely related isolates. In this paper we present performance and convenience of three molecular typing methods: BOX-PCR, random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplification of DNA fragments surrounding rare restriction site (ADSRRS-fingerprinting) in genome analysis of these bacteria. Among examined 61 strains there were distinguished four, eight and 10 different genotypes by BOX-PCR, RAPD and ADSRRS-fingerprinting, respectively. The value of discrimination index was the lowest for BOX-PCR (D = 0.265), much bigger for RAPD (D = 0.539) and the highest for ADSRRS-fingerprinting (D = 0.604). The good discriminatory ability and reproducibility of RAPD and ADSRRS-fingerprinting indicates that those techniques may be particularly applied for epidemiological studies of C. pseudotuberculosis isolates. We found that ADSRRS-fingerprinting is a rapid method offering good discrimination power, excellent reproducibility and may be applied for epidemiological studies of intraspecific genetic relatedness of C. pseudotuberculosis strains.     

Evaluation of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and pulsed field gel electrophoresis techniques for molecular typing of Dermatophilus congolensis

This study aimed to evaluate molecular typing methods useful for standardization of strains in experimental work on dermatophilosis. Fifty Dermatophilus congolensis isolates, collected from sheep, cattle, horse and a deer, were analyzed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method using twenty-one different primers, and the results were compared with those obtained by typing with a pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method using the restriction digest enzyme Sse8387I. The typeability, reproducibility and discriminatory power of RAPD and Sse8387I-PFGE typing were calculated. Both typing methods were highly reproducible. Of the two techniques, Sse8387I-PFGE was the least discriminating (Dice Index (DI), 0.663) and could not distinguish between epidemiologically related isolates, whereas RAPD showed an excellent discriminatory power (DI, 0.7694-0.9722). Overall, the degree of correlation between RAPD and PFGE typing was significantly high (r, 0.8822). We conclude that the DNA profiles generated by either RAPD or PFGE can be used to differentiate epidemiologically unrelated isolates. The results of this study strongly suggest that at least two independent primers are used for RAPD typing in order to improve its discriminatory power, and that PFGE is used for confirmation of RAPD results.     

Spread of a single clone Acinetobacter baumannii strain in an intensive care unit of a teaching hospital in Turkey

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen, especially in immunocomprimised patients and those hospitalized in intensive care units. After the first isolation of A. baumannii strains from the bronchial aspirates of two patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital as a pure culture, screening studies were performed to define possible source(s). A. baumannii strains isolated from bronchial aspirates and blood cultures of the patients in ICU were collected as a possible part of the outbreak. A total of 23 screening samples collected from equipment (7), hands (4) and gloves (2) of the staff, and from ten different body regions of the patients in the ICU were cultured. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of the isolates was performed by the standardized disk-diffusion method. All isolates were subtyped by antibiogram, arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing methods. A total of 26 A. baumannii strains including eight clinical and 18 screening isolates were identified. All isolates were susceptible only to meropenem, tobramycin, and imipenem. There was at least a 96% resistance rate to the other antibiotics tested. Antibiogram typing showed that 24 of the 26 isolates were epidemiologically related, two were unique. AP-PCR yielded two types, one of which had 21 isolates, the other had five. PFGE fingerprinting revealed that all isolates were clonally related, including four closely related and 22 indistinguishable strains. Based on the results of PFGE which has been accepted as a reference method it can be concluded that A. baumannii strains isolated from our intensive care unit originated from a single type of strain.     

Analysis of clinical isolates of Propionibacterium acnes by optimised RAPD

Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was evaluated as a genotypic method for typing clinical strains of Propionibacterium acnes. RAPD can suffer from problems of reproducibility if parameters are not standardised. In this study the reaction conditions were optimised by adjusting template DNA concentration and buffer constituents. All isolates were typeable using the optimised RAPD protocol which was found to be highly discriminatory (Simpson's diversity index, 0.98) and reproducible. Typing of P. acnes by optimised RAPD is an invaluable tool for the epidemiological investigation of P. acnes for which no other widely accepted method currently exists.     

Value of morphotyping for the characterization of Candida albicans clinical isolates

Until recently, morphotyping, a method evaluating fringe and surface characteristics of streak colonies grown on malt agar, has been recommended as a simple and unexpensive typing method for Candida albicans isolates. The discriminatory power and reproducibility of Hunter's modified scheme of Phongpaichit's morphotyping has been evaluated on 28 C. albicans isolates recovered from the oral cavity of asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus-positive subjects, and compared to two molecular typing methods: randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting, and contour clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) electrophoretic karyotyping. Morphological features of streak colonies allowed to distinguish 11 different morphotypes while RAPD fingerprinting yielded 25 different patterns and CHEF electrophoresis recognized 9 karyotypes. The discriminatory power calculated with the formula of Hunter and Gaston was 0.780 for morphotyping, 0.984 for RAPD fingerprinting, and 0.630 for karyotyping. Reproducibility was tested using 43 serial isolates from 15 subjects (2 to 6 isolates per subject) and by repeating the test after one year storage of the isolates. While genetic methods generally recognized a single type for all serial isolates from each of the subjects studied, morphotyping detected strain variations in five subjects in the absence of genetic confirmation. Poor reproducibility was demonstrated repeating morphotyping after one year storage of the isolates since differences in at least one character were detected in 92.9% of the strains.
