Polymorphism of the PE domain of PE/PE_PGRS sequences was studied in Mycobacterium bovis isolates from different Mexican states. Samples were analyzed by spolygotyping and RFLP using IS6110 and a 235-bp fragment of the PE domain of PE/PE_PGRS as probes. With the PE probe, three different genotypes were observed, one being predominant in all states. These results confirm the high conservation of the PE domain and suggests a potential role for PE sequence as a stable genetic marker for bovine tuberculosis.
对来自墨西哥不同州的牛分枝杆菌分离株中PE/PE_PGRS序列的PE结构域多态性进行了研究。使用IS6110以及PE/PE_PGRS的PE结构域的一个235 bp片段作为探针,通过spolygotyping和RFLP对样本进行分析。使用PE探针时,观察到三种不同的基因型,其中一种在所有州都占主导地位。这些结果证实了PE结构域的高度保守性,并表明PE序列作为牛结核病稳定遗传标记具有潜在作用。
