應用聚合酶鏈反應(PCR)方法快速鑑定傷寒桿菌

為了解以聚合酶鏈反應之快速方法，代替傳統生化型及血清型鑑定分離自臨床檢體之傷寒稈茵之可行性，本研究以S. typhi之鞭毛抗原基因(H1-d)所務展出之PCR引子ST1及ST2對衛生署預防醫學研究所提供，由臨床檢體分離之50株S. typhi茵株進行PCR檢測，其結果皆為正反應，而其他血清型沙門氏茵及非沙門氏茵之腸內茵科細菌，則皆無PCR產物之產生。若直接進行一次聚合酶鏈反應，則其檢利之靈敏度達10^4 CFU，然若進行二次聚合酶鏈反應，則其檢測靈敏度可提高至10^0 CFU。上述實驗結果顯示PCR技術為一快速、可靠之方法，並可用於臨床分離之傷寒桿菌之快速鑑定。

In order to evaluate the applicability for using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to replace the conventional biotyping and serotyping method for identification of Salmonella typhi isolated from suspected typhoid patients, PCR primers derived from the H1-d gene coding for S. typhi flagellin were used for the identification of S. typhi strains obtained from the Institute of Preventive Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan. All 50 S. typhi isolates were capable of generating positive reactions. In addition, Salmonella isolates other than S. typhi and non-Salmonella isolates including strains of Enterobacteriaceae did not yield positive reaction. Study on the detection sensitivity for this PCR system shows that when single PCR running was performed, the minimal cell number required to give a positive reaction was 10^4. However, when double PCR running was performed, the detection sensitivity increased to 10^0 CFU. Therefore, these preliminary data indicates that PCR is a rapid and reliable method that can be used for the identification of S. typhi responsible for sporadic typhoid cases.
