Abstract

A set of primers for detection of genes encoding resistance to streptomycin ( strA, strB ), tetracyclin ( tetA, tetR ), chloramphenicol ( catА ), kanamycin ( npt , aphA ), vankomycin ( sanA ), polymyxin ( pmrD ) has been developed with the aim of rapid and effective detection of drug-resistant strains of dangerous bacterial infections agents. Efficacy of constructed primers has been confirmed against a panel of 40 Yersinia pestis, 49 Vibrio cholerae, and 2 Escherichia coli strains from the State collection of pathogenic bacteria of the RAPI “Microbe”. Drug-resistance genes ntp and catA have been detected in plague agent strains , strA, strB , npt , aphA , tetA and tetR - in cholera agent; strA , tetR , ntp and aphA - in pathogenic strain E. coli О157:H7. Determined is universal character of the designed primers for drug-resistance genes detection in these pathogenic bacteria species.
