Abstract

Well water has become the important source for public daily activities, especially as drinking water. Enterobacteriaceae is a bacterial group, often found in well water. There are 8 genus of Enterobacteriaceae consider as enteric group because of its relationship to fecal bacteria from human and animal gastrointestine.  Escherichia coli, a member of this group, is one of the best microbiological fecal indicator that have been used for water monitoring. The presence of this bacterial group is of human interest, especially related to their pathogenic characteristic and as the fecal indicator for water quality. This is the objective of this research to evaluate the specivity of new primers which were deduced from partial sequences of rpoB, gyrB and lacZ genes specifically designed for Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli detection. After being optimized by mean of setting the annealing temperature, they are used for in vitro analysis. The result showed the primers are specific enough for Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli detection.Keywords:  Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, gyrB, lacZ, rpoB

Abstract

Study on molecular characteristics of Salmonella from clinical isolates was done in order to find out its relationship, especially those isolated from Indonesia. Partial sequence of genes belonging to QRDR region, i.e. gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE were employed. Specific primer pairs covering those genes are used to amplify the bacterial DNA obtained. The amplicons were then analyzed by means of sequencing, and the sequences are analysed bioinformatically to find out similarities and build phylogenetic trees. By comparing all of the phylogenetic tree from QRDR region, this study revealed gyrA as the most suitable gene for rapidly identify member of salmonellae as it gives better separation of samples being analysed. However, the use of parC is recommended as it gives a consistent and reliable value to separate member of Salmonella and other Enterobacter. Further studies are under way to include member of this group, like E. coli, and the use of full sequence of QRDR genes region to verify this report.
