Seventeen different species of Legionella, 12 serogroups of Legionella pneumophila, and 2 Legionella-like amoebal pathogens (LLAP1 and Sarcobium lyticum) were examined by heteroduplex analysis of PCR products of the 5S rRNA gene. Eight different banding patterns were identified, indicating that heteroduplex analysis of this gene can be used to classify these bacteria according to base substitutions between species. This classification may have future applications in clinical and epidemiological studies.
通过对5S rRNA基因的PCR产物进行异源双链分析,检测了17种不同的军团菌属物种、12个嗜肺军团菌血清群以及2种军团菌样阿米巴病原体(LLAP1和溶胞肉杆菌)。鉴定出8种不同的条带模式,表明该基因的异源双链分析可用于根据物种间的碱基替换对这些细菌进行分类。这种分类可能在临床和流行病学研究中有未来的应用。
