Multiplex PCR for detection of aminoglycoside resistance genes in enterococci

Sergei B Vakulenko et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

A multiplex PCR procedure for detecting the aminoglycoside resistance genes aac(6')-Ie-aph(2")-Ia, aph(2")-Ib, aph(2")-Ic, aph(2")-Id, aph(3')-IIIa, and ant(4')-Ia was evaluated and found to determine accurately the presence of these genes in enterococci.

FIG. 1.

Agarose gel electrophoresis of multiplex PCR products from enterococcal isolates tested for six aminoglycoside resistance genes: aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2")-Ia (348 bp), aph(2")-Ib (867 bp), aph(2")-Ic (444 bp), aph(2")-Id (641 bp), aph(3′)-IIIa (523 bp), and ant(4′)-Ia (294 bp). Lane 1, positive control from a single reaction with PCR products from three isolates that together contain the six genes studied (see text). Lanes 2 to 7, six representative isolates, respectively, that possess one or more of the six genes studied.
