Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

19.0K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.0K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Microbiology
  • Molecular Epidemiology
  • Poultry Pathology

Background:

  • Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is a significant poultry pathogen with increasing incidence and economic impact.
  • Current MS strain identification relies on a single gene (vlhA), limiting the assessment of genetic relatedness between different strains.
  • Accurate strain identification is crucial for effective outbreak investigation, source tracking, and disease management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel multilocus sequence typing (MLST) assay for enhanced Mycoplasma synoviae strain identification.
  • To compare the discriminatory power and epidemiological congruence of the MLST assay with the existing vlhA-based typing method.

Main Methods:

  • Screening of 24 housekeeping genes to select seven optimal targets for MLST.
  • Amplification and sequencing of internal segments from the seven selected genes in 58 MS strains and isolates.
  • Comparative analysis of sequence data from MLST and vlhA typing, including phylogenetic tree construction.

Main Results:

  • The developed MLST assay successfully typed 58 MS samples into 30 distinct sequence types, matching the discriminatory power of the vlhA assay.
  • Phylogenetic analysis using MLST data demonstrated greater congruence with epidemiological information compared to vlhA-based analysis.
  • The MLST assay provides a more reliable tool for understanding MS infection epidemiology.

Conclusions:

  • The novel MLST assay is a valuable and more reliable tool for Mycoplasma synoviae strain typing.
  • Combining MLST and vlhA assays can enhance MS typing accuracy and epidemiological understanding.
  • Improved MS typing will aid in disease prevention, control, and eradication strategies in poultry.
