To evaluate the genetic diversity of clinical and environmental isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) recovered in Ceará, Brazil, and screen these isolates for the presence of type three secretion system virulence gene.
Nineteen B. pseudomallei isolates (9 from clinical cases and 10 from soils) were analyzed. Random amplified polymorphic DNA was performed with primers OPQ-2, OPQ-4 and OPQ-16 to evaluate the genetic diversity, and type three secretion system gene was detected through polymerase chain reaction.
Random amplified polymorphic DNA showed a genetic relatedness of approximately 50% among the tested B. pseudomallei isolates, which were grouped into two clades, of which the biggest ones comprised 18/19 isolates for primer OPQ-2, and 17/19 isolates for primer OPQ-16. Primer OPQ-4 grouped the isolates into three clades comprising 1/19, 3/19 and 15/19 isolates. Additionally, type three secretion system gene was detected in all tested isolates.
This is an effort to type B. pseudomallei strains from Ceará, which is important for better understanding this pathogen, contributing for the epidemiological surveillance of melioidosis in this endemic region.
评估在巴西塞阿拉州分离出的临床和环境来源的类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌(B. pseudomallei)的遗传多样性,并筛查这些分离株中是否存在三型分泌系统毒力基因。
分析了19株类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌分离株(9株来自临床病例,10株来自土壤)。使用引物OPQ - 2、OPQ - 4和OPQ - 16进行随机扩增多态性DNA分析以评估遗传多样性,并通过聚合酶链反应检测三型分泌系统基因。
随机扩增多态性DNA显示,在测试的类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌分离株中,遗传相关性约为50%,这些分离株被分为两个进化枝,其中最大的进化枝对于引物OPQ - 2包含18/19个分离株,对于引物OPQ - 16包含17/19个分离株。引物OPQ - 4将分离株分为三个进化枝,分别包含1/19、3/19和15/19个分离株。此外,在所有测试分离株中均检测到三型分泌系统基因。
这是对来自塞阿拉州的类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌菌株进行分型的一项工作,这对于更好地了解这种病原体很重要,有助于该流行地区类鼻疽病的流行病学监测。
