A rapid, simple and sensitive multiplex PCR method for boNT/A gene cluster typing was developed by combining the results of BoNT/A subtype (boNT/A1 or /A2) gene detection with ha33 and/or p47 gene detection. Ten isolates associated with infant botulism in Japan were examined and divided into boNT/A gene cluster types 2 and 3 by origin (honey feeding or not) and period (1986-1987 or 1999-2007). It is suggested that this multiplex PCR method will be be useful for epidemiological studies of botulism.
建立了一种快速、简单、灵敏的多重 PCR 方法,用于 BoNT/A 基因簇分型,该方法将 BoNT/A 亚型(boNT/A1 或 /A2)基因检测结果与 ha33 和/或 p47 基因检测结果相结合。对与日本婴儿肉毒中毒相关的 10 株分离株进行了检测,根据来源(是否喂食蜂蜜)和时期(1986-1987 年或 1999-2007 年)将其分为 BoNT/A 基因簇类型 2 和 3。该多重 PCR 方法有望用于肉毒中毒的流行病学研究。
