A new PCR protocol for molecular typing of Haemophilus influenzae serotype e (Hie) was developed. To this end, the sequence of the cap region II of Hie strain ATCC8142 was identified, which was >99% identical to the recently published sequence of Hie isolate 274. The PCR using primer pair TTL63/TTL64 amplifies an internal 592-bp fragment of ecs4, an e-specific capsule synthesis gene, in 40 of 40 Hie strains. Of all non-Hie strains, there were no false positives. False-negative results of the PCR proposed by Falla et al. (1994) are explained by single nucleotide insertions in the primer sequences.
我们开发了一种新的 PCR 方案,用于对 e 型流感嗜血杆菌(Hie)进行分子分型。为此,我们确定了 Hie 菌株 ATCC8142 荚膜区 II 的序列,该序列与最近发表的 Hie 分离株 274 的序列 >99%相同。使用引物对 TTL63/TTL64 的 PCR 可扩增 ecs4 的内部 592bp 片段,ecs4 是一种 e 型特异性荚膜合成基因,在 40 株 Hie 菌株中均有扩增。在所有非 Hie 菌株中,均未出现假阳性。Falla 等人(1994)提出的 PCR 假阴性结果可归因于引物序列中的单个核苷酸插入。
