A revised probability matrix for the identification of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, fermentative bacteria 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The results of the identification of 933 strains of Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, fermentative bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Vibrionaceae) by a probabilistic method, in a computer, are given. The identification rate on the matrix was 89.2%. Many of the strains were atypical and had caused difficulty in identification in medical diagnostic laboratories. The results are given for each taxon by genus and species. 相似文献

Numerical taxonomy and identification of lactic acid bacteria from spoiled, vacuum-packaged vienna sausages 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Sixty-one lactic acid bacteria from spoiled vacuum-packaged vienna sausages and 15 reference strains were tested for 72 phenotypic characteristics. An identification key and a computer data base, both specific for lactic acid bacteria from meat sources, were used for identification and the results were compared. There was a high correlation (86.9%) between the two procedures in the identification of strains to genus level. However, only a 54.8% correlation was obtained in identifying strains to the species level. With numerical taxonomy ( S sm matching coefficient with average linkage clustering) 60 strains were recovered in six clusters at the 89% similarity level. While most Leuconostoc strains clustered separately from the Lactobacillus strains, the identity of many leuconostocs was not clarified. The presence of a heterogeneous cluster containing typical and 'atypical' strains of the Lactobacillus saké/curvatus group and a separate homogeneous Lact. curvatus cluster was noted. Closer examination of the data suggested that the 'atypical' lactobacilli were all strains of Lact. saké. 相似文献

An analytical method in which we used the selective adsorption of several fluorophores by yeast cells is described. The suitability of using binary mixtures of 1-pyrene butyric acid, 3,6-dimethylamino acridine, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, and rhodamine B isothiocyanate for the characterization and identification of microorganisms was tested with 98 yeast strains belonging to the genera Candida, Hansenula, Kluyveromyces, Pichia, Rhodotorula, and Saccharomyces. The application of multivariate statistical methods and pattern recognition methods to the allocation of the yeast strains into genus-species-strain structures and to a comparison of fluorescence data sets for differentiation and identification purposes showed the usefulness of the method. 相似文献

Three commercially available test systems for the identification of anaerobic bacteria were evaluated for the identification of 18 proteolytic group I and 69 non-proteolytic group II Clostridium botulinum, four Clostridium sporogenes and 18 non-toxigenic group II C. botulinum-like strains. All proteolytic C. botulinum strains were misidentified by the Rapid ID 32 A and RapID ANA II, while 14 strains and all C. sporogenes strains were identified as C. botulinum or C. sporogenes by the API 20 A. Reversely, all non-proteolytic C. botulinum strains were misidentified by the API 20 A while the Rapid ID 32 A recognized 67 and RapID ANA II 68 strains. All C. sporogenes strains were recognized by the RapID ANA II, while the Rapid ID 32 A recognized one strain. All non-proteolytic non-toxigenic strains were identified as C. botulinum group II by the Rapid ID 32 A, 17 strains by the RapID ANA II, and one strain by the API 20 A. The results show that these test systems do not provide a reliable method for identification of C. botulinum. 相似文献

The identification, typing and fingerprinting of Salmonella: laboratory aspects and epidemiological applications 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Since the 1930s, traditional methods of strain identification based on serotyping and phage typing have been the foundation of salmonella epidemiology. Although the incidence of diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid has decreased in recent years, food-poisoning caused by non-typhoidal salmonella strains has now reached epidemic proportions in many countries, despite improvements in sanitation and hygiene. Precise strain identification is an essential prerequisite for epidemiological investigations aimed at combating the spread of these strains and eradicating the sources of infection. Modern methods of genotypic typing, particularly those based on physical characterization of the plasmid content of the organism have already proved invaluable for the identification and differentiation of strains in many outbreaks. These plasmid typing methods are now increasingly used with serotyping and phage typing for many epidemiological investigations. Other methods of genotypic typing, particularly those based on recognition of small differences in chromosome structure, are not yet practical for the examination of large numbers of strains. Nevertheless, improvements in small-scale methods for chromosomal DNA extraction coupled with the increasing use of non-isotopic labels for identification of restriction fragment length polymorphisms may provide a new dimension to Salmonella epidemiology. 相似文献

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a useful technique in bacterial differentiation and identification. A rapid, semi-automated SDS-PAGE system (Phast System) was assessed for identification of formate-fumarate-requiring, asaccharolytic, Gram-negative oral anaerobes. The system permitted loading, separation and staining of gels within 2 h. Percentage similarities between strains were determined using correlation coefficients and cluster analysis. The protein profiles were sufficiently reproducible provided that distorted profiles were disregarded. Strains were successfully separated into their species, with the exception of Bacteroides ureolyticus NCTC 10939, which appeared to be distinct from other strains of that species. Twenty-nine unidentified formate-fumarate-requiring, sub-gingival plaque strains were suitably clustered with the standard strains as verified by a series of physiological and biochemical tests. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody, mAbC3 (IgG(2b)), specific for the Bacteroides fragilis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was produced and found to react with a common epitope in most strains within the species. mAbC3 was adsorbed to Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain and used in a co-agglutination assay for identification of B. fragilis. Almost 98% of the B. fragilis strains were positive in co-agglutination. Among the 283 non-B. fragilis only two strains showed false positive reaction. These results show that the mAbC3 has a high specificity and can be used for the rapid identification of the B. fragilis species. 相似文献

The data from an integrated numerical classification was used to construct identification schemes for some fasciculate penicillia. The identification schemes were presented as a synoptic key and a frequency matrix for computer-assisted identification. Statistical testing of the frequency matrix showed that although character separation values were generally low, only four pairs of taxa showed overlap greater than that expected for a rectangular distribution. The identification schemes were tested practically with 52 previously studied strains and 51 further cultures. A synoptic key based on 10 and 90% cutoff limits was used to correctly identify 44 of the 51 additional strains, although this proved very sensitive to single test discrepancies. The frequency matrix was used to correctly identify 45 of the additional strains with a Willcox probability score and this was compared to identifications based on the modal likelihood fraction. 相似文献

Small fragments of DNA from an 8-kbp plasmid, pRA1, from a plant pathogenic strain of Spiroplasma citri were shown previously to be present in the chromosomal DNA of at least two species of Spiroplasma. We describe here the shot-gun cloning of chromosomal DNA from S. citri Maroc and the identification of two distinct sequences exhibiting homology to pRA1. Further subcloning experiments provided specific molecular probes for the identification of these two sequences in chromosomal DNA from three distinct plant pathogenic species of Spiroplasma. The results of Southern blot hybridization indicated that each of the pRA1-associated sequences is present as multiple copies in short, dispersed, and repetitive sequences in the chromosomes of these three strains. None of the sequences was detectable in chromosomal DNA from an additional nine Spiroplasma strains examined. 相似文献

Ribosomal DNA-based techniques including the analysis of profiles generated by ISR amplification, ISR restriction and ARDRA have been evaluated as molecular tools for identifying Carnobacterium, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc and Pediococcus. They have been applied for the molecular characterization of 91 strains with the following identities: eight Carnobacterium including the eight type species of the genus; 61 Lactobacillus including 40 type strains out of 45 species, 13 Leuconostoc, out of them 11 are type strains and three are subspecies of Lc. mesenteroides; and nine strains representing the six species of genus Pediococcus. The genetic relationship displayed between these species by rrn-based profiles is sustained by their phylogenetic relationships and can therefore be considered useful for taxonomic purposes. Profiles obtained by ISR amplification allowed identification at genus level of Carnobacterium and Leuconostoc, and even at species level in genus Carnobacterium. Genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus could not be distinguished from each other by applying this technique. The Lactobacillus species analysed here (45) were differentiated using ARDRA-DdeI and ISR-DdeI profiles, sequentially, and Pediococcus species by ISR-DdeI profiles. It was necessary to combine profiles generated by restriction of ISR-DdeI, ARDRA-DdeI and ARDRA-HaeIII in order to complete the identification of Leuconostoc species. 相似文献

Ten strains isolated from sick dogs in 1998 in St. Petersburg were studied by traditional and molecular biological methods of Brucella identification. PCR study confirmed that the isolated cultures were Brucellae, and comparative study of the traditional phenotypical characteristics and protein and antigenic composition allowed referring all the isolated strains to B. canis. Traditional identification showed similarity of 7 strains with the reference B. canis strain RM6/66, and 3 strains were similar to B. canis Mex 51 strain. These results confirmed the division of B. canis into two biovars. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate demonstrated the identity of protein profiles of 10 strains isolated from dogs to the reference B. canis RM6/66 strain. Immunoblotting analysis with S- and R-specific rabbit antisera also demonstrated the identity of antigens binding IgG antibodies in the strains isolated from dogs to the reference B. canis RM6/66 strain. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of four variants of the diagnostic disc test (DD) to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in nosocomial strains of gram-negative rods. Also, the diagnostic disc test (DD) was compared with the double-disc synergy test (DDST) for the effectivity of ESBLs identification. A total number of 111 ESBL-positive (DDST-positive) strains of gram-negative rods isolated from hospitalized patients in 2004 was examined. Ninety nine strains belonged to enteric rods (89.2%) and twelve strains--to nonfermentative rods (10.8%). Two reference strains: E. coli ATCC 25922 (ESBL-negative one) and K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 (ESBL-positive one) were included in the study. Four variants of the diagnostic disc test (DD, Oxoid Ltd, UK) were applied for ESBLs detection: CPD/CD01, CAZ/CD02, CTX/CD03 and CPO/CD04. All examined strains (111) were DDST-positive. Positive results in the DD test (Oxoid Ltd) were as follows: CPD/CD01--59 strains (53.2%), CAZ/CD02--80 strains (72.1%), CTX/CD03--92 strains (82.9%) and CPO/CD04--110 strains (99.1%). Discs containing cefpirome (CPO) and cefpirome with clavulanic acid (CD04) were the best set for detection of ESBLs in our collection of clinical gram-negative rods. Results of this variant of the DD test were the most consistent with the results of the DDST. Application of several disc diffusion methods to detect ESBL producers increases the probability of proper identification of these strains. 相似文献

A new simplified test kit, STAPHYOGRAM plate, was developed for 4-hr identification of aerobic, Gram-positive and catalase-positive cocci. The plate has 18 wells, in which different dehydrated substrates and nutrients are fixed. An 18-hr agar-culture suspension of a test strain with a turbidity of McFarland No. 4 was distributed into all wells in 50-microliters quantities. After 4-hr incubation at 37C, the profile number was obtained by summarizing positive reactions. The ability of the plate to differentiate the type strains of the 30 species of the three genera in the family Micrococcaceae was confirmed. These three genera are Staphylococcus, Micrococcus and Stomatococcus. The applicability of the fluorometric microplate hybridization technique to identification of aerobic, Gram-positive and catalase-positive cocci was confirmed by homologous hybridization among the type strains of the 30 species. Thus, 386 isolates of human and animal origin were pre-identified by microplate hybridization and used for evaluating the STAPHYOGRAM plate. Of the 236 profile numbers thus obtained with the 386 isolates, 218 (92.4%) were species-proper each and all for the 15 species of Staphylococcus and Stomatococcus mucilaginosus. A total of 342 (88.6%) of the 386 isolates were given such profile numbers, and were identified without any additional test. Among the 15 species identified primarily by the results of STAPHYOGRAM plate culture, S. caprae, S. lugdunensis, S. gallinarum and S. delphini were validly published after Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The identified strains of S. caprae (48), S. haemolyticus (46), S. capitis (35) numbered between those of S. epidermidis (67) and S. saprophyticus (31). Profile numbers common to two species were seven (27 strains) and that to four species was one (17 strains). These 44 strains were identified with one to three additional tests. From these results, we were convinced that the STAPHYOGRAM test plate is useful for the rapid identification of members of family Micrococcaceae. By compiling STAPHYOGRAM plate data on genetically identified strains, an exclusive list of profile numbers will soon be prepared for perfection of the kit. 相似文献

AIM: The study was carried out to assess the agreement of API 50 CH fermentation data of food lactobacilli with their RAPD profiles to determine whether the system could be used alone as a reliable taxonomic tool for this genus. METHODS AND RESULTS: API 50 CH, RAPD and DNA:DNA reassociation data for 42 lactobacilli from tef and kocho were compared with 30 type strains. Discrepancies were observed between the three methods in assigning strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lact. fermentum, Weissella minor and Lact. gallinarum, and Lact. fermentum, Lact. amylophilus, Lact. casei subsp. pseudoplantarum and Lact. rhamnosus. DNA reassociation data agreed well with RAPD results. CONCLUSIONS: API 50 CH profiles should be complemented with molecular genetic results for effective identification in Lactobacillus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The study suggested less dependability of metabolic data alone as an identification tool. 相似文献

Amplified 16S rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) with Hae III and Hpa II was applied to 37 reference strains, 179 human clinical and four veterinary isolates of Propionibacterium, Lactobacillus andBifidobacterium and some other anaerobic, non-sporing, Gram-positive bacilli. Results were compared with those obtained by ARDRA for reference strains (26) and clinical isolates (469) of Actinomyces spp. Reference strains were clearly differentiated to species level. Clinical isolates of Propionibacterium and Lactobacillus were identified with confidence to species level. Bifidobacterium spp. were identified in ARDRA with confidence to genus, but anomalies in species level identification of some reference strains and clinical isolates may reflect unreliable identification in conventional tests. Isolates of Arcanobacterium spp., Actinobaculum schaalii, Eggerthella lenta, some Eubacterium spp., Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus spp., Atopobium vaginae, Abiotrophia defectiva, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus intermedius and Clostridium sp. were clearly differentiated in ARDRA. ARDRA is a simple, rapid, and highly discriminatory method for identification of anaerobic, non-sporing, Gram-positive bacilli. 相似文献

Twenty-seven Staphylococcus strains isolated from food and food environments were assigned to Staphylococcus xylosus by API-Staph system. But only seven isolates had similar patterns to this species when compared to the pulse-field gel electrophoresis patterns of 12 S. xylosus strains. To perform a rapid identification of the S. xylosus species, a random amplified polymorphic DNA product of 539-bp shared by all of the S. xylosus strains was used to design a pair of primers. These primers were species-specific for S. xylosus when tested by PCR on 21 staphylococci species. This specific PCR assay confirms the identification of the seven isolates identified by PFGE to S. xylosus. In conclusion, we developed specific PCR primers for a rapid and accurate identification of the S. xylosus species. 相似文献

Cereulide production has until now been restricted to the species Bacillus cereus. Here we report on two psychrotolerant Bacillus weihenstephanensis strains, MC67 and MC118, that produce cereulide. The strains are atypical with regard to pheno- and genotypic characteristics normally used for identification of emetic B. cereus strains. MC67 and MC118 produced cereulide at temperatures of as low as 8 degrees C. 相似文献
