Conventional methods of plasmid extraction are largely unsuited to diagnostic laboratories. The 'Miniprep' is a rapid method that utilises a centrifugable column to separate plasmid DNA from chromosomal DNA. We have modified this technique to extract plasmid DNA from seven strains of vancomycin- and gentamicin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VGREF): 1% mannitol was added to the growth medium and cell lysis was achieved by incubation in 10 mg of lysozyme/ml in 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA and 25% sucrose at pH 8.0. RNase A was added to plasmid eluate rather than at the lytic step. In comparison to a standard phenol/chloroform method, Miniprep completely eliminated chromosomal interference in gel electrophoresis but otherwise produced identical plasmid profiles. Plasmids obtained from the VGREF ranged from 42 to 1.3 Md. Band densities on a single elution from the Miniprep varied from 8.3 to 106.3 relative units. Double elution increased band densities from the same preparation from 30.4 to 196 relative units; mean percentage increases per track between 7.0 and 34.6%. This method is suitable to achieve plasmid DNA extraction from VGREF within 1 h, making the process more suitable for diagnostic laboratories. 相似文献

This study reports the isolation of CA-MRSA strain which was found to colonize the nasal mucosa of a patient undergoing haemodialysis treatment. The MRSA was subjected to molecular analysis by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), multiplex PCR assay for staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing, and PCR detection of the pvl gene encoding for Panton-Valentine leukocidin. The analyzed MRSA harbored the SCCmec type IV and the pvl gene-two unique genetic markers of CA-MRSA. The PFGE pattern of the strain corresponded to the common European CA-MRSA (MLST Type ST80). Moreover, the strain was only resistant to beta-lactam agents and tetracycline. This study adds further evidence for the changing epidemiology of MRSA and indicates the ability of CA-MRSA to affect persons with established risk factors in addition to previously healthy individuals. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to investigate the rate of Staphylococcus aureus nasal and skin carriage in patients undergoing haemodialysis. The cultured staphylococcal isolates were subsequently characterized by molecular methods. The study group comprised 43 haemodialysed patients from whom nasal and skin swabs from the vascular access sites were collected. The identification of staphylococcal isolates and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed on the basis of conventional diagnostic procedures. The staphylococci were further characterized using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). S. aureus was cultured from 12 (27.9%) patients. Only one (8.3%) patient was colonized with the microorganism both in the anterior nares and the vascular access site representing a single strain, as evidenced by PFGE analysis. Antibiotic susceptibility testing identified one (7.6%) methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain. PFGE typing identified several S. aureus genotypes with the lack of one specific strain responsible for colonization. However, it should be noted that among two (A and D) PFGE patterns genetically indistinguishable and closely related isolates (two isolates for each pattern) were identified. The obtained results revealed a relatively low rate of S. aureus carriage accompanied by low methicillin resistance rate and a significant genetic diversity of cultured isolates with the lack of one predominant strain responsible for colonization. 相似文献

plQ5 plasmid consists of a group of genes specifying resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, carbencillin, kanamycin and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole. It is isolated inKlebslella pneumoniae ZD532, is about 26.8 Kb and is freely transmissible to various bacterial species of Gram-negative bacteria. Physical characterization revealed that plQ5 plasmid has a single site forHindill,BamHI,EcoRI and two sites forBglII restriction enzyme.
