ABSTRACTAimsBacterial genotyping on the basis of the CRISPR array has been established inMycobacterium tuberculosiswith a method called spacer oligonucleotide typing (spoligotyping). The spoligotyping method had been widely used for both detection and typing ofM. tuberculosiscomplex bacteria. This present study aimed at determining if the CRISPR array inSalmonellaspp. could be applied to establish a correlationship between serogroup and the fingerprint generated by CRISPR typing.Methodology and resultsA total of 30 samples were obtained from Diagnostic Veterinary Laboratory, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Serogroup was determined on the basis of ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Four different serogroups were identified which were serogroup B, C, D, and E. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was extracted and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) was performed using primers which were designed to amplify the CRISPR array inSalmonellagenome. Our results indicate that there is a correlationship between serogroup obtained using ELISA and the profile generated by CRISPR typing.Conclusion, significance and impact of studyCRISPR typing has the potential to be applied for the genotyping ofSalmonella.

We developed and evaluated two different methods to improve the detection of the most prevalent virus of rose in Europe, Prunus necrotic ring-spot virus (PNRSV). Immunocapture-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was estimated to be about 100 times more sensitive than double-antibody sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and showed an equivalent specificity. Based on the observation that PNRSV multiplies actively in young growing tissues (axillary shoots and cuttings), an in vitro culture method allowing rapid (about 15 days) and homogeneous development of dormant axillary buds with high virus titers was standardized. ELISA tests of these young shoots showed, in some cases, a 104 to 105 increase in sensitivity in comparison to adjacent leaf tissues from the rose mother plants. Between 21 and 98% (depending on the season) more samples were identified as positive by using ELISA on samples from shoot tips grown in vitro rather than on leaves collected directly from the PNRSV-infected mother plants. This simple method of growing shoot tips in vitro improved the confidence in the detection of PNRSV and eliminated problems in sampling appropriate tissues.
