A study was designed to evaluate the ability of the DiversiLab fingerprinting kit, a type of repetitive element PCR (rep-PCR), to identify Escherichia coli clone ST131 producing beta-lactamase CTX-M-15. A set of 53 nonduplicate isolates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli underwent rep-PCR, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and multilocus sequence typing. The DiversiLab system successfully identified E. coli clone ST131 producing CTX-M-15 and provides a simple standardized typing protocol for monitoring the spread of this clone.
一项研究旨在评估DiversiLab指纹识别试剂盒(一种重复元件PCR(rep-PCR))鉴定产β-内酰胺酶CTX-M-15的大肠杆菌克隆ST131的能力。对一组53株非重复的产超广谱β-内酰胺酶大肠杆菌进行了rep-PCR、脉冲场凝胶电泳和多位点序列分型。DiversiLab系统成功鉴定了产CTX-M-15的大肠杆菌克隆ST131,并为监测该克隆的传播提供了一种简单的标准化分型方案。
