Objective To amplify the 16S RNA fragments of 7 clinically isolated strains of Brucella spp. by PCR-RFLP technique, so as to provide experimental basis for the studies on diagnostics, genetics and epidemiology of Brucella spp. Methods According to the gene sequence of ATCC 25840 standard strain in GenBank, special primers for the 16S RNA conservative area in the Brucella spp. were designed. DNA extraction and PCR amplification of the 16S RNA fragments were performed with the 7 isolated strains. PCR products were then sequenced and RFLP analysis was conducted with appropriate restricted enzymes to study the homology and the mutation sites in those strains. Meanwhile, the clinical data of infected patients were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the relationship between the clinical features and genotypes of Brucella infection. Results The amplified target fragments were about 1500bp in length and consistent with what was expected. The sequencing and homology analysis showed a 98.88% homology and 11 mutation sites among the 7 isolated strains. Four genotypes were identified by RFLP. Retrospective analysis of the clinical data indicated that no obvious relationship existed between the genotypes and the clinical features. Conclusions Amplifying 16S RNA fragments by PCR technique is a feasible method to make an early diagnosis of Brucella infection. The 7 clinically isolated strains are different in genotypes and 16S RNA fragment is a highly conservative fragment in bacterial genome with some mutations. The research provides evidence for the genetics and epidemiology of brucellosis.

Objective To monitor features of diarrheogenic bacteria causing blood infection, so as to provide evidence for rational use of drugs in patients with cirrhosis of liver. Methods Diarrheogenic pathogens isolated from blood samples in 302 hospital of PLA from 2000 to 2010 were collected, and their components and antimicrobial resistance were analyzed. Blood samples were cultured with automated blood culture instrument (BACT/ALERT3D) and the bacteria of positive samples were identified by automated microorganism identification device (Vitek2). Furthermore, drug sensitivity test was performed by K-B method recommended by CLSI. Results A total of 140 strains of diarrheogenic bacteria were isolated from the blood samples of 140 patients, among them 117 (83.6%) were male, and the largest proportion (55.7%) of them were aged 40-60 years. The isolated diarrheogenic bacteria causing blood infection included the following genera: Aeromonas (75.71%), Salmonella (14.29%), Vibrio (9.29%) and Yersinia (0.71%). The sensitivity of these bacteria to antimicrobial drugs was different. The incidence of bacteria resistant to ampicillin and cefazolin was significantly higher, while that resistant to levofloxacin was significantly lower, and genus Aeromonas was more resistant than genus Salmonella (P<0.01). Multiple antimicrobial resistance was found in genus Aeromonas and genus Salmonella. Genus Vibrio was sensitive to most of antimicrobial drugs. Conclusions A variety of diarrheogenic bacteria with different degree of antibiotic resistance can cause blood infection, and much attention and monitoring should be strengthened.
