Comparison of molecular epidemiological tools for Branhamella catarrhalis typing.

Abstract:

:Twenty-one Branhamella catarrhalis strains selected for their diversity by esterase electrophoretic polymorphism, and belonging to 20 distinct zymotypes, were studied by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of total DNA after ethidium bromide staining and of ribosomal DNA regions (ribotyping). The former analysis allowed the distinction of 20 patterns and the latter the delineation of 19 ribotypes. The three methods were correlated and showed a clonal diversity of the species. Esterase electrophoresis and Hinfl RFLP patterns after ethidium bromide staining appeared to be simple tools for use in B. catarrhalis epidemiology.

  • Novel role of the Candida albicans ferric reductase gene CFL1 in iron acquisition, oxidative stress tolerance, morphogenesis and virulence.

    abstract::Ferric reductase catalyzes the reduction of ferric iron into ferrous iron and plays an essential role in high-affinity iron acquisition. In this study, we found that the cfl1Δ/Δ (orf19.1263) mutant was not defective in iron acquisition. However, deletion of CFL1 increased cellular iron accumulation by elevating surfac...
