Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium causing diseases in animals and human. Staphylococcus aureus in broilers cause septicemia, tendosinovitis, dermatitis, endocarditis, wound infections, arthritis and bumblefoot. In this research, 24 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from broiler were characterized of its virulent factors including the presence of haemagglutinin, ability to agulate the plasma in tubular coagulase test as well presipitate formation in clumping factor test, and haemolysis types. By polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were genotypically detected genes coa, clf, hlaA, and hlaB. All of the isolates (100%) had haemagglutinin, capable to agglutinate and precipitae of rabbit plasma. All isolates could lyse sheep red blood cells with the type of α-hemolysis (45.8%),  β-hemolysis (50.0%) and γ-haemolysis (4.2%). Genotypically, all isolates (100%) had coa and clf genes,  hlaA gene 7(0.8%) and hlaB gene (29.2%).

ABSTRACT The presence of hemoglobin in samples are considered an important inhibitory factor for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The aim of this study was to examine the influence of red blood cells (RBC)s in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as an inhibitory factor to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for enteroviruses (EV). Forty-four CSF samples from patients showing characteristics of viral meningitis were assessed for EV by RT-PCR. Viral RNA extracted with guanidine isothyocianate buffer and virus detection was performed by in-house nested PCR. Positivity for EV RT-PCR was higher in CSF samples without RBCs than in samples with RBCs: 13(26%) and 36(9.2%), p = 0.001. In the group with positive EV RT-PCR, the mean + SD CSF RBC was 37 ± 183 cell/mm3; the group with negative results had 580 + 2,890 cell/mm3 (p = 0.007). The acceptable upper limit for CSF RBCs that could not influence RT-PCR was 108 cells/mm3. CSF samples with negative results for EV RT-PCR have more erythrocytes.

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for the detection and differentiation of enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus in dairy products. A solvent extraction procedure was successfully modified for extraction of S. aureus DNA from 10 ml of artificially contaminated skim milk or 20 g cheddar cheese. Primers targeting the enterotoxin C gene (entC) and thermostable nuclease gene (nuc) were used in the multiplex PCR. PCR products were confirmed using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. DNA was consistently quantified and amplified by uniplex PCR from 10 CFU/ml of S. aureus in skim milk or 10 CFU/20 g cheddar cheese. The sensitivity of the multiplex PCR was 100 CFU/ml of skim milk or 100 CFU/20 g cheddar cheese. The developed methodology allows presumptive identification and differentiation of enterotoxigenic S. aureus in less than 6 h.

The bcr-abl translocation characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) modified to use mRNA as the starting material. Amplification of a sequence spanning the bcr-abl junction was obtained by using peripheral blood cells from all of 20 patients with classic CML, one patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia probably secondary to CML, and two cell lines derived from patients with CML. The presence of bcr exon 3 in the mRNA was determined from the size of the amplified sequence; it was present in 14 and absent in seven patients. One leukemic cell per 1,000 nonleukemic cells could be readily detected, thus indicating the great sensitivity of the method. This technique is of routine value in CML both for diagnosis and for following the course of treatment.
