This work aimed to identify the species distribution of common clinical and environmental isolates of black Aspergilli based on simple restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the β-tubulin gene. A total of 149 clinical and environmental strains of black Aspergilli were collected and subjected to preliminary morphological examination. Total genomic DNAs were extracted, and PCR was performed to amplify part of the β-tubulin gene. At first, 52 randomly selected samples were species-delineated by sequence analysis. In order to distinguish the most common species, PCR amplicons of 117 black Aspergillus strains were identified by simple PCR-RFLP analysis using the enzyme TasI. Among 52 sequenced isolates, 28 were Aspergillus tubingensis, 21 Aspergillus niger, and the three remaining isolates included Aspergillus uvarum, Aspergillus awamori, and Aspergillus acidus. All 100 environmental and 17 BAL samples subjected to TasI-RFLP analysis of the β-tubulin gene, fell into two groups, consisting of about 59% (n=69) A. tubingensis and 41% (n=48) A. niger. Therefore, the method successfully and rapidly distinguished A. tubingensis and A. niger as the most common species among the clinical and environmental isolates. Although tardy, the Ehrlich test was also able to differentiate A. tubingensis and A. niger according to the yellow color reaction specific to A. niger. A. tubingensis and A. niger are the most common black Aspergillus in both clinical and environmental isolates in Iran. PCR-RFLP using TasI digestion of β-tubulin DNA enables rapid screening for these common species.
本研究旨在通过β-微管蛋白基因的简单限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)分析,鉴定常见临床和环境分离株中黑曲霉的种分布。共收集了 149 株临床和环境来源的黑曲霉,并进行了初步的形态学检查。提取总基因组 DNA,进行部分β-微管蛋白基因的 PCR 扩增。首先,通过序列分析对 52 个随机选择的样本进行了种属鉴定。为了区分最常见的物种,使用 TasI 酶对 117 株黑曲霉的 PCR 扩增子进行简单的 PCR-RFLP 分析。在 52 个测序分离株中,28 株为构巢曲霉,21 株为黑曲霉,其余 3 株包括宇佐美曲霉、阿萨姆曲霉和嗜酸曲霉。所有 100 株环境和 17 株 BAL 样本均进行了β-微管蛋白基因的 TasI-RFLP 分析,分为两组,其中约 59%(n=69)为构巢曲霉,41%(n=48)为黑曲霉。因此,该方法成功且快速地将构巢曲霉和黑曲霉区分开来,成为临床和环境分离株中最常见的物种。虽然迟缓,但根据黑曲霉特有的黄色反应,Ehrlich 试验也能够区分构巢曲霉和黑曲霉。构巢曲霉和黑曲霉是伊朗临床和环境分离株中最常见的黑曲霉。使用 TasI 酶消化β-微管蛋白 DNA 的 PCR-RFLP 可快速筛选这些常见物种。
