Hybridization with oligonucleotide microchips (microarrays) was used for discrimination among strains of Escherichia coli and other pathogenic enteric bacteria harboring various virulence factors. Oligonucleotide microchips are miniature arrays of gene-specific oligonucleotide probes immobilized on a glass surface. The combination of this technique with the amplification of genetic material by PCR is a powerful tool for the detection of and simultaneous discrimination among food-borne human pathogens. The presence of six genes (eaeA, slt-I, slt-II, fliC, rfbE, and ipaH) encoding bacterial antigenic determinants and virulence factors of bacterial strains was monitored by multiplex PCR followed by hybridization of the denatured PCR product to the gene-specific oligonucleotides on the microchip. The assay was able to detect these virulence factors in 15 Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli strains. The results of the chip analysis were confirmed by hybridization of radiolabeled gene-specific probes to genomic DNA from bacterial colonies. In contrast, gel electrophoretic analysis of the multiplex PCR products used for the microarray analysis produced ambiguous results due to the presence of unexpected and uncharacterized bands. Our results suggest that microarray analysis of microbial virulence factors might be very useful for automated identification and characterization of bacterial pathogens. 相似文献

In order to design a method for the accurate detection and identification of food-borne pathogens, we used comparative genomics to select 70-mer oligonucleotide probes specific for 11 major food-borne pathogens (10 overlapping probes per pathogen) for use in microarray analysis. We analyzed the hybridization pattern of this constructed microarray with the Cy3-labeled genomic DNA of various food-borne pathogens and other bacteria. Our microarray showed a highly specific hybridization pattern with the genomic DNA of each food-borne pathogen; little unexpected cross-hybridization was observed. Microarray data were analyzed and clustered using the GenePix Pro 6.0 and GeneSpring GX 7.3.1 programs. The analyzed dendrogram revealed the discriminating power of constructed microarray. Each food-borne pathogen clustered according to its hybridization specificity and non-pathogenic species were discriminated from pathogenic species. Our method can be applied to the rapid and accurate detection and identification of food-borne pathogens in the food industry. In addition, this study demonstrates that genome sequence comparison and DNA microarray analysis have a powerful application in epidemiologic and taxonomic studies, as well as in the food safety and biodefense fields. 相似文献

Universal DNA array detection of small insertions and deletions in BRCA1 and BRCA2 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Array-based mutation detection methodology typically relies on direct hybridization of the fluorescently labeled query sequence to surface-bound oligonucleotide probes. These probes contain either small sequence variations or perfect-match sequence. The intensity of fluorescence bound to each oligonucleotide probe is intended to reveal which sequence is perfectly complementary to the query sequence. However, these approaches have not always been successful, especially for detection of small frameshift mutations. Here we describe a multiplex assay to detect small insertions and deletions by using a modified PCR to evenly amplify each amplicon (PCR/PCR), followed by ligase detection reaction (LDR). Mutations were identified by screening reaction products with a universal DNA microarray, which uncouples mutation detection from array hybridization and provides for high sensitivity. Using the three BRCA1 and BRCA2 founder mutations in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (BRCA1 185delAG; BRCA1 5382insC; BRCA2 6174delT) as a model system, the assay readily detected these mutations in multiplexed reactions. Our results demonstrate that universal microarray analysis of PCR/PCR/LDR products permits rapid identification of small insertion and deletion mutations in the context of both clinical diagnosis and population studies. 相似文献

A duplex PCR procedure was evaluated for the detection of Clostridium perfringens in food and biological samples and for the identification of enterotoxigenic strains. This method uses two sets of primers which amplify in the same reaction two different DNA fragments simultaneously: the 283-bp C. perfringens phospholipase C gene fragment and the 426-bp enterotoxin gene fragment. Internal primers within the two primer sets confirmed the specificity of the method by DNA-DNA hybridization with the PCR products. No cross-reaction was observed with other Clostridium species or with other bacteria routinely found in food. The detection level was approximately 10(5) C. perfringens cells per g of stool or food sample. When overnight enrichment culture was used, 10 C. perfringens cells per g was detected in 57 artificially contaminated food samples. The duplex PCR is a rapid, sensitive, and reliable method for the detection and identification of enterotoxigenic C. perfringens strains in food samples. A slide latex agglutination test was also evaluated as a rapid, simple technique for the detection of C. perfringens enterotoxin in stool samples. 相似文献

We constructed a 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray on the basis of benzene monooxygenase gene diversity to develop a new technology
for simultaneous detection of the functional gene diversity in environmental samples. The diversity of the monooxygenase genes
associated with benzene degradation was characterized. A new polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer set was designed using
conserved regions of benzene monooxygenase gene (BO12 primer) and used for PCR-clone library analysis along with a previously
designed RDEG primer which targeted the different types of benzene monooxygenase gene. We obtained 20 types of amino acid
sequences with the BO12 primer and 40 with the RDEG primer. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences obtained suggested the
large diversity of the benzene monooxygenase genes. A total of 87 60-mer probes specific for each operational taxonomical
unit were designed and spotted on a microarray. When genomic DNAs of single strains were used in microarray hybridization
assays, corresponding sequences were successfully detected by the microarray without any false-negative signals. Hybridization
with soil DNA samples showed that the microarray was able to detect sequences that were not detected in clone libraries. Constructed
microarray can be a useful tool for characterizing monooxygenase gene diversity in benzene degradation.

Rapid identification of enteropathogenic bacteria in stool samples is critical for clinical diagnosis and antimicrobial therapy.
In this study, we describe the development of an approach that couples multiplex PCR with hybridization to a DNA microarray,
to allow the simultaneous detection of the 10 pathogens. The microarray was synthesized with 20-mer oligonucleotide probes
that were designed to be specific for virulence-factor genes of each strain. The detection limit for genomic DNA from a single
strain was approximately 10 fg. In the presence of heterogeneous non-target DNA, the detection sensitivity of the array decreased
to approximately 100 fg. We did not observe any non-specific hybridization. In addition, we successfully used this oligonucleotide-based
DNA microarray to identify the causative agents in clinical stool samples from patients with food-borne enteritis. 相似文献

16S rRNA-based probes and polymerase chain reaction method to detect Listeria monocytogenes cells added to foods. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods. This method used a pair of primers based on a unique region in the 16S rRNA sequence of L. monocytogenes, which were previously reported by us to yield a specific nucleic acid probe. Our method included use of a shorter denaturing time, a shorter annealing time, a rapid transition, and an increase in the number of cycles, resulting in good sensitivity. Just 3 h for PCR plus 1 h for electrophoresis was required. Additional time for DNA isolation and DNA hybridization was not needed. This method detected as few as 2 to 20 CFU of L. monocytogenes in pure cultures and as few as 4 to 40 CFU of L. monocytogenes in inoculated (10(8) CFU), diluted food samples. Seven of eight foods, including four poultry products, gave positive results. Only one food sample, soft cheese, gave interference. An internal probe hybridization test was used to confirm that the PCR products were from L. monocytogenes. A specificity test indicated that this PCR method was positive for all 13 strains of L. monocytogenes tested but negative for the other 6 species of Listeria, including 6 strains of L. innocua, and negative for 17 other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria tested. 相似文献

For simultaneous identification of members of the betaproteobacterial order "Rhodocyclales" in environmental samples, a 16S rRNA gene-targeted oligonucleotide microarray (RHC-PhyloChip) consisting of 79 probes was developed. Probe design was based on phylogenetic analysis of available 16S rRNA sequences from all cultured and as yet uncultured members of the "Rhodocyclales." The multiple nested probe set was evaluated for microarray hybridization with 16S rRNA gene PCR amplicons from 29 reference organisms. Subsequently, the RHC-PhyloChip was successfully used for cultivation-independent "Rhodocyclales" diversity analysis in activated sludge from an industrial wastewater treatment plant. The implementation of a newly designed "Rhodocyclales"-selective PCR amplification system prior to microarray hybridization greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the RHC-PhyloChip and thus enabled the detection of "Rhodocyclales" populations with relative abundances of less than 1% of all bacteria (as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization) in the activated sludge. The presence of as yet uncultured Zoogloea-, Ferribacterium/Dechloromonas-, and Sterolibacterium-related bacteria in the industrial activated sludge, as indicated by the RHC-PhyloChip analysis, was confirmed by retrieval of their 16S rRNA gene sequences and subsequent phylogenetic analysis, demonstrating the suitability of the RHC-PhyloChip as a novel monitoring tool for environmental microbiology. 相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction for the rapid identification of Clostridium botulinum type A strains and detection in food samples 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for the detection of Clostridium botulinum type A, a cause of human botulism. A two primer set and an oligonucleotide detection probe were used to specifically detect Cl. botulinum type A neurotoxin gene (BoNT/A). After 40 cycles of amplification, detection of a 798 bp amplified DNA fragment was carried out by agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern blot hybridization. This assay was able to detect 12.5 fg of purified target DNA or five bacteria per reaction. The sensitivity in artificially contaminated food samples after an 18 h enrichment step ranges from 10 to 103 bacteria per g according to the type of food samples. No cross-reactions were observed with the other Cl. botulinum toxinotypes and other bacteria found routinely in food. This PCR method may provide a suitable and rapid alternative to standard techniques for detection of Cl. botulinum type A in food samples. 相似文献

In this paper,we developed a rapid and accurate method for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains,using multiplex PCR and DNA-DNA hybridization.Multiplex PCR was used to simultaneously amplify three diagnostic genes(tlh,tdh and fia)that serve as molecular markers of V.parahaemolyticus.Biotinylated PCR products were hybridized to primers immobilized on a microarray,and detected by chemiluminesce with avidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase.With this method,forty-five samples were tested.Eight known virulent strains (tlh+/tdh+/fia+)and four known avirulent strains(tlh+/tdh-/fla+)of the V.parahaemolyttcus were successtuny aetectea,ana no non-spectnc hybridization and cross-hybridization reaction were found from fifteen closely-related strains(tin-/tdh-/fta+)or the Vibrio spp.In addition,all the other eighteen strains of non-Vibrio bacteria(tlh-/tdh-/fla-)gave negative results.The DNA microarray successfully distinguished V.parahaemolyticus from other Vibrio spp.The results demonstrated that this was an efficient and robust method for identifying virulent strains of V.parahaemolyticus. 相似文献

For detection of most members of the Enterococcaceae, the specificity of a novel oligonucleotide microarray (ECC-PhyloChip) consisting of 41 hierarchically nested 16S or 23S rRNA gene-targeted probes was evaluated with 23 pure cultures (including 19 Enterococcus species). Target nucleic acids were prepared by PCR amplification of a 4.5-kb DNA fragment containing large parts of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes and were subsequently labeled fluorescently by random priming. Each tested member of the Enterococcaceae was correctly identified on the basis of its unique microarray hybridization pattern. The evaluated ECC-PhyloChip was successfully applied for identification of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis in artificially contaminated milk samples demonstrating the utility of the ECC-PhyloChip for parallel identification and differentiation of Enterococcus species in food samples. 相似文献

Synthetic oligonucleotide primers of 24 and 23 bases were used in a PCR assay to amplify a sequence of the lip gene, which encodes a thermostable extracellular lipase of Aeromonas hydrophila. A DNA fragment of approximately 760 bp was amplified from both sources, i.e., lysed A. hydrophila cells and isolated DNA. The amplified sequence was detected in ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels or by Southern blot analysis with an internal HindIII-BamHI 356-bp fragment as a hybridization probe. With A. hydrophila cells, the sensitivity of the PCR assay was < 10 CFU, and with the isolated target, the lower detection limit was 0.89 pg of DNA. Primer specificity for A. hydrophila was determined by the PCR assay with cells of 50 strains of bacteria, including most of the 14 currently recognized DNA hybridization groups of Aeromonas spp. as well as other human and environmental Aeromonas isolates. Detection of A. hydrophila by PCR amplification of DNA has great potential for rapid identification of this bacterium because it has proved to be highly specific. 相似文献

Global public health is threatened by the emergence of potentially dangerous antibiotic drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Point mutations in certain M. tuberculosis genes are associated with the resistance of M. tuberculosis strains to antibiotic drugs. The purpose of this study was to develop a suitable microarray-based protocol for the detection of point mutations in M. tuberculosis genes associated with drug resistance. We initially developed a conventional, oligonucleotide microarray protocol and used it to detect and identify on a single microarray slide a number of point mutation-containing rpoB and katG gene target sequences. However, the occurrence of some non-specific hybridization led us to the development of an improved protocol based on allele specific PCR combined with tags/anti-tags and microarrays. This protocol was evaluated by detecting point mutations in M. tuberculosis katG and rpoB gene templates produced by recombinant PCR. The methodology allowed sequences containing single point mutations to be readily distinguished from wild type sequences. The data obtained with the improved protocol had strong and specific signals and relatively low amounts of non-specific hybridization. We successfully used this protocol to detect and identify (<8 h) a number of clinically relevant point mutations in the rpoB, katG and rpsL genes of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates. Our allele specific PCR/tags and anti-tags/microarray protocol has several advantages over our conventional oligonucleotide microarray protocol, and it may have broad applications for point mutation detection. 相似文献

Bacillus cereus, B. thuringiensis and B. anthracis are closely related medically and economically important bacterial species that belong to the B. cereus group. Members of the B. cereus group carry genes encoding several important virulence factors, including enterotoxins, phospholipases and exotoxins. Since it is difficult to differentiate among B. cereus group members, and because Bacillus virulence factors are very important for pathogenesis, we explored the use of microarray-based detection of virulence factor genes as a tool for strain identification and for determining virulence. Our method requires an initial multiplex PCR amplification step, followed by identification of the PCR amplicons by hybridization to an oligonucleotide microarray containing genes for all three types of Bacillus virulence factors including B. anthracis virulence factors. The DNA chip described here contains 21 identical arrays used for analysis of seven samples in triplicates. Using the arrays, we found that virulence factors are present in several combinations in the strains analyzed. This work also demonstrates the potential of oligonucleotide microarrays for medical, food safety and biodefense analysis of microbial pathogens. 相似文献
