Molecular analysis of environmental and human isolates of Salmonella typhi.

Molecular characterization of a total of 54 isolates of Salmonella typhi from Santiago, Chile, was performed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after digestion of chromosomal DNA with three restriction endonucleases: XbaI (5'-TCTAGA-3'), AvrII (5'-CCTAGG-3'), and SpeI (5'-ACTAGT-3'). Thirteen of the 54 isolates were obtained from environmental sources (sewage and river water), and the rest were isolates from clinical cases of typhoid fever. Considerable genetic diversity was detected among the human isolates obtained in 1994, as evidenced by the presence of 14 to 19 different PFGE patterns among 20 human isolates, with F (coefficient of similarity) values ranging from 0.69 to 1.0 (XbaI), 0.61 to 1.0 (AvrII), and 0.70 to 1.0 (SpeI). A total of eight phage types were detected among these 20 isolates, with 50% possessing the E1 or 46 phage type. There was no correlation between PFGE pattern and phage types. Similar diversity was seen among 21 isolates obtained in 1983, with 17 to 19 PFGE patterns detected and F values of 0.56 to 1.0 (XbaI), 0.55 to 1.0 (AvrII), and 0.67 to 1.0 (SpeI). Comparison of these two groups of human isolates obtained 11 years apart indicated that certain molecular types of S. typhi are shared and are able to persist for considerable periods. A similar degree of genetic diversity was also detected among the environmental isolates of S. typhi, for which 10 to 12 different PFGE patterns were detected among the 13 isolates analyzed, with F values ranging from 0.56 to 1.0 (XbaI), 0.52 to 1.0 (AvrII), and 0.69 to 1.0 (SpeI). Certain molecular types present among the environmental isolates of S. typhi were also found among the human isolates from the same time period, providing evidence for the epidemiological link between environmental reservoirs and human infection.     

Use of pulsed field gel electrophoresis as an epidemiological tool for analysis of sporadic associated strains of Salmonella typhi isolated in Taiwan

In order to characterize the subtypes of Salmonella typhi which cause sporadic disease in Taiwan, 55 isolates of Salm. typhi obtained from unrelated patients of sporadic cases during 1992-96 were subjected to chromosomal DNA digestion and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). When DNAs of these 55 Salm. typhi strains were digested with XbaI, 41 PFGE patterns were observed. Strains sharing the same XbaI digestion pattern could not be further discriminated by PFGE analysis using SpeI and NotI as digestion enzymes. Thus, considerable genetic diversity exists among the Salm. typhi isolates. Although strains of the same patterns were mainly isolated during the same time, recirculation of certain infectious strains could be possible. When 12 antibiotics, i.e. ampicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, norfloxacin, tetracycline, sulphonamide, streptomycin, neomycin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, cefoperazone and gentamycin were used to test the antibiotic susceptibility for these Salmonella isolates, only three antibiogram patterns were obtained and 49 of the 55 Salm. typhi isolates were found to belong to one pattern. Phage typing and plasmid profiles were also poor in discriminating these strains. Thus, PFGE alone may be used as a powerful tool for analysis of sporadic associated Salm. typhi strains.     

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, plasmid profiles and phage types for the human isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis obtained over 13 years in Taiwan

AIMS: Plasmid profile, phage typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of 124 Salmonella Enteritidis strains isolated in 1998-2002 in Taiwan were analysed and the results were compared with those of the 63 strains obtained in 1991-1997, so that molecular subtypes and epidemic strains for Salmonella Enteritidis over a 13-year period (1991-2002) could be elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 124 strains of Salmonella Enteritidis isolated from human in Taiwan between 1998 and 2002 were analysed by PFGE, plasmid analysis and phage typing. The results obtained were compared with those of the 63 strains obtained in 1991-1997, so that the clonal relationships for a total of 187 strains obtained over 13 years could be elucidated. For PFGE, restriction enzymes XbaI, SpeI and NotI were used for chromosomal DNA digestion. Results showed 28 PFGE pattern combinations for the 187 Salmonella strains. Of them, pattern X3S3N3 was the major subtype as 130 strains isolated from different locations during 1991-2002 showed this PFGE pattern. For all these 187 strains, the genetic similarity was higher than 80%. Plasmid analysis showed 17 distinct types, which consist of one to four plasmids and the predominant phage type of those strains was PT4 (71.6%) and PT6a (13.4%). The three methods identified different degrees of polymorphism in the following order: plasmid profile (18 types, D = 0.659) > PFGE (28 types, D = 0.512) > phage typing (13 types, D = 0.438). As PFGE patterns, phage type and plasmid profile were combined for subtyping, the 187 strains could be grouped into 46 subtypes and the discriminatory index was raised to 0.795. For these 46 subtypes, the predominant one was X3S3N3/P1/PT4, which contained 77 (41%) isolates. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the Salmonella Enteritidis strains from sporadic cases were with pattern X3S3N3. They were the prevalent and may be the epidemic strains found in Taiwan during 1991-2002. The present study suggested that the several variants were derived from a single clonal line and the genome for strains of Salmonella Enteritidis are highly conserved over a 13-year period (1991-2002). SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results obtained here are useful for epidemiolgical study of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella Enteritidis in Taiwan. Comparing the data of the present study with those obtained for strains from other countries, the major subtypes for Salmonella Enteritidis infection in the world can be elucidated.     

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis as an epidemiological tool for clonal identification of Aeromonas hydrophila

Pulsedfield gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to characterize Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from a cluster of hospital-acquired infections that occurred over approximately 1 month in a French hospital. Five isolates from patients and 10 isolates from the water supply were characterized by biotyping and antibiotic susceptibility patterns and compared with 10 epidemiologically unrelated strains isolated from patients and rivers, by PFGE of digests of chromosomal DNA. Five environmental and four clinical isolates belonged to the same biotype and antibiotic susceptibility pattern type. The endonucleases XbaI, SpeI and SwaI gave satisfactory profiles whereas DraI did not. The profiles were stable, reproducible and discriminatory. The 10 epidemiologically unrelated strains exhibited 10 different patterns after digestion with XbaI , the least expensive, suitable endonuclease. PFGE is a rapid and discriminatory technique for the typing of Aeromonas hydrophila where a common origin of infection is suspected.     

Phage types, plasmid profiles and chromosomal restriction profiles of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ser. enteritidis (S. enteritidis) isolated in Poland in 1999-2000]

Salmonella Enteritidis strains are the most often isolated Salmonella serovars in Poland. In the present study, phage typing, plasmid profile analysis, and PFGE have been applied to characterize 140 Polish S. Enteritidis isolates originated from human cases of salmonellosis and from other sources. The typing phages of Ward and colleagues scheme were used to type a total of 140 S. Enteritidis strains coming from Poland. All 140 strains were typable and six different phage types were observed. A total of 125 (89%) of 140 isolates examined belonged to PT 4. The others PTs were represented by small amount of strains (PT1-2, PT6-6, PT7-1, PT8-4 and PT21-2 strains). Among all tested isolates six different plasmid profiles were observed. Of the 140 examined strains, 128 (91.4%) contained the 57 kb plasmid alone. After XbaI digestion four distinct pulse field chromosomal restriction profiles among studied S. Enteritidis were observed. XbaI and SpeI chromosomal restriction profiles of S. Enteritidis PT4 were identical with reference strain profiles. Our findings confirmed earlier suggestions that the increase of human salmonellosis cases in Poland was caused by S. Enteritidis PT4 and was due to consumption of contaminated food. This study confirmed the importance of using PFGE in combination with phage typing, plasmid typing and antibiotic resistance testing for studying the epidemiology of S. Enteritidis.     

Characterization of Erwinia amylovora strains from Bulgaria by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis

The aim of this study was to characterize genetically Bulgarian Erwinia amylovora strains using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis. Fifty E. amylovora strains isolated from different hosts, locations, as well as in different years were analysed by PFGE after XbaI, SpeI, and XhoI digestion of the genomic DNA. The strains were distributed into four groups according to their XbaI-generated profile. About 82% of the strains displayed a PFGE profile identical to that of type Pt2. Three strains belonged to the Central Europe Pt1 type. Two new PFGE profiles, not reported so far, were established--one for a strain isolated from Malus domestica and another for all Fragaria spp. strains. The same grouping of the strains was obtained after analysis of the SpeI digestion patterns. On the basis of PFGE profiles, after XbaI and SpeI digestion, a genetic differentiation between the strains associated with subfamily Maloideae and subfamily Rosoideae was revealed. The presence of more than one PFGE profile in the population of E. amylovora in Bulgaria suggests a multiple source of inoculum.     

Efficient subtyping of Yersinia enterocolitica bioserotype 4/O:3 with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for differentiation of isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica bioserotype 4/O:3 recovered from pig tongues at retail level in the Helsinki area during October and November of 1996. NotI generated 15 different PFGE patterns for 128 isolates. The discriminatory index did not exceed 74% due to the presence of two predominant PFGE-types, NA1 (58/128) and NB1 (25/128). After preliminary investigations with 35 enzymes, ApaI, XbaI, XhoI and SpeI were chosen for further characterization of the isolates. The discriminatory index increased from 74% to 93% and the number of different genotypes from 15 to 30 when isolates with the same PFGE pattern with NotI were further characterized with ApaI and XhoI, indicating that PFGE can be an efficient technique for characterization of bioserotype 4/O:3.     

The presence of major world-wide clones for phage type 4 and 8 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and the evaluation of their virulence levels by invasiveness assays in vitro and in vivo

Seventy-seven animal isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) obtained from the United States were analyzed by phage typing and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Thirty-nine strains were found with phage types (PT) 4, 8, and 13a. When the chromosomal DNA of these 39 isolated strains with PT4, 8, and 13a were digested with XbaI, SpeI and NotI, followed by PFGE analysis, 28 strains were found with a pattern combination of X4S4N4, which was the major subtype. When PFGE patterns of the US isolates with PT 4 and 8 were compared with those of the Taiwanese and German isolates, pattern X3S3N3 was confirmed to be the world-wide subtype shared by PT 4 isolates, as previously reported, while pattern X4S4N4 was newly found to be the most common subtype shared by PT 8 strains. The presence of such major world-wide clones, however, does not necessarily mean that these clones are highly virulent, at least not according to the results of invasiveness assays using cultured human intestinal epithelium cell line Int-407 and living BALB/mice.     

Suitability of PCR fingerprinting, infrequent-restriction-site PCR, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, combined with computerized gel analysis, in library typing of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis

Strains of Salmonella enterica (n = 212) of different serovars and phage types were used to establish a library typing computerized system for serovar Enteritidis on the basis of PCR fingerprinting, infrequent-restriction-site PCR (IRS-PCR), or pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The rate of PCR fingerprinting interassay and intercenter reproducibility was low and was only increased when DNA samples were extracted at the same time and amplified with the same reaction mixtures. Reproducibility of IRS-PCR technique reached 100%, but discrimination was low (D = 0.52). The PFGE procedure showed an intercenter reproducibility value of 93.3%. The high reproducibility of PFGE combined with the previously determined high discrimination directed its use for library typing. The use of PFGE with enzymes XbaI, BlnI, and SpeI for library typing of serovar Enteritidis was assessed with GelCompar 4.0 software. Three computer libraries of PFGE DNA profiles were constructed, and their ability to recognize new DNA profiles was analyzed. The results obtained pointed out that the combination of PFGE with computerized analysis could be suitable in long-term epidemiological comparison and surveillance of Salmonella serovar Enteritidis, specially if the prevalence of genetic events that could be responsible for changes in PFGE profiles in this serovar was low.
