Thirty strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were obtained from the clinical isolates. In order to investigate the pursuit of the pathogens of nosocomial infection, these strains were studied for antibiotic sensitivity as well as its resistant pattern. Among the methods of hybridization which directly confirm the specific antibiotic resistant genes by means of the recently developed specific probe DNA, dot blot hybridization and southern blot hybridization were performed and these two methods were compared in their sensitivity and specificity. Strains that is sensitive to cephalothin to the subject of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were in 43%. Those that are sensitive to cefoperazone and cefuroxime were 26% and 23%, respectively. In case of MIC, MIC50 of cefoperazone was 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, and MIC90 was 128 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ to be the lowest. As the results of plasmid DNA electrophoresis, most of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains had more than 4 plasmids. These plasmids digested by BamHI, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is distributed as 10 fragments with the size of 65 kb to 1.5 kb. Dot blot hybridization were performed to examine the existence of mecA gene to show the detection rate of 50%. Southern blot hybridization were done to see if DNA bands which amplify the activity of digoxigenium-labeled probe by PCR were actually PCR products of mecA gene and it showed the detection rate of 53%. It can be concluded that the southern blot hybridization seemed to be better in sensitivity and specificity when it is compared with the results of dot blot hybridization.

The aim of the present study was to develop a sensitive and specific assay for the diagnosis of alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) which is a cause agent of malignant catarrhal fever in ruminants. A1HV-1 is a gamma herpesvirus, which is frequent latent, and it is often difficult to detect its antigens or specific nucleic acids because of its low genomic copies in the infected tissues. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-dot blot hybridization (DBH) assay for detecting AlHV-1 DNA was developed and evaluated for its sensitivity and specificity as comparison with PCR and DBH alone. The developed PCR-DBH was more sensitive than PCR or DBH alone and also very specific. The results showed that the sensitivity of PCR-DBH were higher and stronger than those of PCR and DBH alone. This PCR-DBH assay can be applied efficiently to confirm the presence of AlHV-1 virus on clinical samples and to differentiate specifically between AlHV-1 infection and other viral infections.

Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a systemic disease of ruminants caused by a gamma herpesvirus, ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2). Dot blot hybridization (DBH) protocols for detecting and differentiating this MCF virus were developed. OvHV-2 specific primer pairs, 556/555, were used for the amplification of target DNA. Then, the amplified DNA was labeled with incorporation of digoxigenin (DIG). The Dig-labeled probe was able to detect and differentiate specifically OvHV-2 DNA. This DBH technique can be applied to confirm the presence of MCF virus on clinical samples and to differentiate specifically between OvHV-2 infection and other viral infections.

식중독은 세균에 의한 발병이 대부분이다. 따라서 식품에서 식중독 원인균을 신속하게 탐색하게 식중독으로부터의 되면 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 고전적인 식중독 원인균 탐색은 증균, 선택적 배지를 이용한 isolation, 생화학적 특징을 활용하는 분석이 있으나 많은 시간이 소요되는 단점을 갖고 있었다. 본 연구는 16S rRNA gene(16S rDNA)로부터 얻은 DNA 염기 서열을 이용 식중독 원인균의 특이적 oligonucleotide probe을 제작 reverse dot blot hybridization과 PCR 방법을 이용하여 고전적인 방법보다 빠른 시간 내에 식품에서 원인균을 탐색 할 수 있었다. 우유를 인공적으로 본 연구에서 사용한 균주로 오염시킨 후 DNA를 추출하여 PCR 증폭산물과 oligonucleotide probe를 hybridization 시킨 결과 oligonucleotide probe를 hybridization 시킨 결과 oligonucleotide probe가 위치한 곳에서 발색 반응이 나타났다. 본 연구에서 본 연구를 통해 DNA microchip으로 활용 짧은 시간 내에 많은 종류의 식중독 원인균을 탐색 할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

인삼의 잎, 줄기, 뿌리 절편에 Agrobatriumrhizogenes(stain $A_4$를 접종하여 형질이 전환된 조직(모상근)을 유도, 배양한 후 saponin 고생산능 clones을 선발하였으며, 아울러 형질전환 여부를 dot blot hybridization 과 opine 분석으로 확인하였다. 여러 부위에서 유도된 모상근은 모두 암조건의 MS 배지에서 활발히 생장하였으며, 이들 중 HB3 clone을 이용하여 동질화딘 모상근 clon으로 배양한 후 saponin 고생산능 clon을 선발한 결과 HB2-10 clone이 최대의 생장을 보였으며 총 saponin함량은 0.55wt%로 나타났다. 그러나 총 saponin함량이 가장 높은 clone은 비교적 생장이 느린 HB3-2 clone이었으며 0.74wt%의 함량을 나타내었다. 아울러 dot blot hybridization 결과 Ri-T-DNA가 식물체의genome 내로 삽입되어 있었으며, opine확인결과 모든 모상근 clone으로부터 argropine과 mannopine이 검출되었다.

The purpose of this study was to isolate a specific DNA probe for the strain ATTC 25611 of the species Prevotella intermedia by using a new rapid screening mothod. The whole-genomic DNA of P. intermedia ATCC 25611 was isolated and purified. The HindIII-digested genomic DNAs from the strain were cloned by the random cloning method. To screen the strain-specific DNA probe, inverted dot blot hybridization tests were performed. In this assay, 20 ng of recombinant plasmids containing the HindIII-digested genomic DNA fragment were boiled and blotted onto a nylon membrane, and hybridized with digoxigenin-dUTP labeled genomic DNAs in a concentration of 100 ng/ml. Southern blot analysis was performed in order to confirm the results of the inverted dot blot hybridization tests. The data showed that a Pi34 probe (2.1 kbp; 1 out of 32 probes) was specific for P. intermedia strain ATCC 25611 and could be useful for the detection and identification of the strain, particularly in epidemiological studies of periodontal disease.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate of the specificity of Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes using dot blot hybridization. To confirm whether the clinical isolates were F. nucleatum or not, 16S rDNA of them were cloned and sequenced. The sequencing data were used in homology search with database of GenBank. When the homology was above 98% compared with the nucleotide sequence of a certain bacteria, it was judged as the same species with the bacteria. 23 strains of F. nucleatum were isolates from subgingival plaque of periodontitis patient. The clinical isolates of F. nucleatum were classified into 10 groups using phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. F. nucleatum subspecies nucleatum-specific DNA probe Fu4(1.3 kb) reacted with genomic DNAs from 8 type strains of F. nucleatum and it reacted strongly with those from 8 clinical isolates. The Fp4(0.8 kb) reacted with F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum ATCC 10953 and one clinical isolates. Fv35(1.9 kb) and Fs17(8.2 kb) probes reacted with genomic DNAs from F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii ATCC 49256 and F. nucleatum subsp. fusiform ATCC 51190, respectively. Our results showed that it is not enough to evaluate the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes with only dot blot hybridization. Therefore, Southern blot analysis will be necessary to confirm the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes.

This study aimed at finding a fast, sensitive, and efficient protocol for molecular identification of intracellular protozoa Toxoplasma (T.) gondii. For molecular detection of T. gondii, we developed a polymerase chain reaction coupled with dot blot hybridization assay (PCR/DBH). For DBH analysis, the amplified DNA of T. gondii tachyzoite was labeled by incorporation of digoxigenin. The DBH assay alone was capable of detecting down to $1{\times}10^4$ pg of T. gondii genomic DNA. The PCR alone was capable of detecting down to $1{\times}10^3$ pg of T. gondii genomic DNA, whereas the PCR/DBH assay was capable of detecting down to $1{\times}10^2$ pg of T. gondii genomic DNA, indicating that sensitivity of the PCR/DBH method was approximately 10 to 100 times higher than PCR or DBH alone. Our PCR/DBH assay will be useful for confirming the presence of T. gondii on the samples and differentiating T. gondii infection from other intracellular protozoa infections.

Whether Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) can be transmitted to offspring, has been a noticeable question for a long time. When fifth instar larvae of the silkworm were orally inoculated with BmNPV dot hybridization and PCR amplification analysis demonstrated that BmNPV was not detected in the eggs laid by BmNPV productively infected female moths. The results indicated that BmNPV could not be transovarially transmitted.
