Genomic DNA patterns generated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis are highly specific for different strains of an organism and have significant value in epidemiologic investigations of infectious-disease outbreaks. Unfortunately, time-consuming and tedious specimen processing is an inherent problem which limits the use of this powerful technology as a real-time epidemic investigational tool. Here, I describe a rapid method to improve the response time and provide specific bacterial strain identification for the typing of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other gram-negative organisms in a single day.
脉冲场凝胶电泳产生的基因组DNA图谱对生物体的不同菌株具有高度特异性,在传染病暴发的流行病学调查中具有重要价值。不幸的是,耗时且繁琐的样本处理是一个固有问题,这限制了这项强大技术作为实时疫情调查工具的使用。在此,我描述一种快速方法,可缩短响应时间,并在一天内对大肠杆菌O157:H7及其他革兰氏阴性菌进行分型以提供特定菌株鉴定。
