A collection of 179 human and 156 bovine clinical Salmonella isolates obtained from across New York state over the course of I year was characterized using serotyping and a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme based on the sequencing of three genes (fimA, manB, and mdh). The 335 isolates were differentiated into 52 serotypes and 72 sequence types (STs). Analyses of bovine isolates collected on different farms over time indicated that specific subtypes can persist over time on a given farm; in particular, a number of farms showed evidence for the persistence of a specific Salmonella enterica serotype Newport sequence type. Serotypes and STs were not randomly distributed among human and bovine isolates, and selected serotypes and STs were associated exclusively with either human or bovine sources. A number of common STs were geographically widespread. For example, ST6, which includes isolates representing serotype Typhimurium as well as the emerging serotype 4,5,12:i:-, was found among human and bovine isolates in a number of counties in New York state. Phylogenetic analyses supported the possibility that serotype 4,5,12:i:- is closely related to Salmonella serotype Typhimurium. Salmonella serotype Newport was found to represent two distinct evolutionary lineages that differ in their frequencies among human and bovine isolates. A number of Salmonella isolates carried two copies of manB (33 isolates) or showed small deletion events in fimA (nine isolates); these duplication and deletion events may provide mechanisms for the rapid diversification of Salmonella surface molecules. We conclude that the combined use of an economical three-gene MLST scheme and serotyping can provide considerable new insights into the evolution and transmission of Salmonella.

Homologous expression of aspartokinase (ask) gene in Streptomyces clavuligerus and its hom-deleted mutant: Effects on cephamycin C production Özcengiz, Gülay; Ünsaldi, Eser; Taşkin, Bilgin; Liras, Paloma; Piret, Jacqueline (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01) Abstract In this study, the effect of homologous multiple copies of the ask gene, which encodes aspartokinase catalyzing the first step of the aspartate pathway, on cephamycin C biosynthesis in S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and its hom mutant was investigated. The intracellular pool levels of aspartate pathway amino acids accorded well with the Ask activity levels in TB3585 and AK39. When compared with the control strain carrying vector alone without any gene insert, amplification of the ask gene in the w...
Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Diversity of Human and Bovine Clinical Salmonella Isolates Soyer, Yeşim; Schoonmaker-Bopp, Dainna J.; Root, Timothy P.; Warnick, Lorin D.; McDonough, Patrick L.; Dumas, Nellie B.; Groehn, Yrjo T.; Wiedmann, Martin (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2010-06-01) Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) characterization of 335 temporally and spatially matched clinical, bovine, and human Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates revealed 167 XbaI PFGE patterns. These isolates were previously classified into 51 serotypes and 73 sequence types, as determined by multilocus sequence typing. Discriminatory power of PFGE (Simpson's index, D = 0.991) was considerably higher than that of multilocus sequence typing (D = 0.920) or serotyping (D = 0.913). Although 128 PFGE ty...
Selective Quantification of Viable Escherichia coli Bacteria in Biosolids by Quantitative PCR with Propidium Monoazide Modification Taskin, Bilgin; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Duran, Metin (American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07-01) Quantitative differentiation of live cells in biosolids samples, without the use of culturing-based approaches, is highly critical from a public health risk perspective, as recent studies have shown significant regrowth and reactivation of indicator organisms. Persistence of DNA in the environment after cell death in the range of days to weeks limits the application of DNA-based approaches as a measure of live cell density. Using selective nucleic acid intercalating dyes like ethidium monoazide (EMA) and pr...
Comparison of benzaldehyde lyase production capacity in recombinant Escherichia coli and recombinant Bacillus species Kaya, Hande; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) In this study, the benzaldehyde lyase (BAL, EC 4.1.2.38) production in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLySs as intracellular and in Bacillus species as extracellular were investigated, and comparison of the production capacity of the enzyme in the developed recombinant microorganisms were compared. For this purpose, firstly, PCR amplified bal gene was cloned into pRSETA vector which is under the control of strong T7 promoter and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS strain. With developed recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3)...
RT-PCR amplification of a Rhizopus oryzae lactate dehydrogenase gene fragment Hakki, EE; Akkaya, Mahinur (Elsevier BV, 2001-02-01) No amino acid or DNA sequence information in sequence databases was found for a fungal lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozyme. Highly conserved regions in the lactate dehydrogenase enzymes of all taxonomies are found to be beta alpha beta nucleotide binding and substrate binding sites, also catalysis/active site. The conserved regions were selected as PCR primer target regions. The degenerate primers were designed according to the codon usage, determined by analyzing a number of different genes of Rhizopus spe...
