Abstract:
Objective To assess the application value of REP-PCR in genotyping of candida glabrata strains in clinical pratice. MethodsFrom 2009 to 2010, thirty-eight candida glabrata strains were isolated from Shanghai Ruijin Hospitals, Shanghai Renji Hospital, Shanghai Huashan Hospital, Anhui Medical University Hospital, Shenzhen People's Hospital. Six loci in housekeeping genes (FKS, LEU2,NMT1, TRP1, UGP1 and URA3 ) were amplified and sequenced. The sequences were compared with the MIST database and allele profile and sequence type (ST) were obtained. With primers Ca21, Ca22 and Com21 used to amplify the adjacent variable gene regions,the amplicons were analyzed through electrophoresis to generate different REP-PCR types. Finally, the results of these two genotyping methods were compared. ResultsFor REP-PCR, Ca22-Com21 has the best genotyping effect. REP-PCR and MLST have the same genotyping results. Five REP-PCR types were found in 38 candida glabrsta isolates. Type A,B, C, D and E strains from REP-PCR were genotyped as ST 7, 3, 19, 45 and new type respectively byMIST. REP-PCR saves time compared with MIST. Conclusions REP-PCR offers a simple and rapid method for molecular typing, with similar discriminatory power with MIST. Therefore, REP-PCR can be the preferred choice in laboratory, especially for a large number of isolates.
