A TaqMan real-time PCR assay for detection of qacEΔ1 gene in Gram-negative bacteria
The transfer of biocide and antibiotic resistance genes by mobile genetic elements is the most common mechanism for rapidly acquiring and spreading resistance among bacteria. The qacEΔ1 gene confers the resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). It has also been considered a genetic marker for the presence of class 1 integrons associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotypes in Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, a TaqMan real-time PCR assay was developed to detect the qacEΔ1 gene in Gram-negative bacteria. The assay has a detection limit of 80 copies of the qacEΔ1 gene per reaction. No false-positive or false-negative results have been observed. Simultaneous amplification and detection of the 16S rRNA gene is performed as an endogenous internal amplification control (IAC). The TaqMan real-time PCR assay developed is a rapid, sensitive, and specific method that could be used to monitor resistance to QACs, the spread of class 1 integrons, and the prediction of associated MDR phenotypes in Gram-negative bacteria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes scholarly and original articles, notes and review articles. These articles must include novel and/or state-of-the-art methods, or significant improvements to existing methods. Novel and innovative applications of current methods that are validated and useful will also be published. JMM strives for scholarship, innovation and excellence. This demands scientific rigour, the best available methods and technologies, correctly replicated experiments/tests, the inclusion of proper controls, calibrations, and the correct statistical analysis. The presentation of the data must support the interpretation of the method/approach.
