PG - 795-9 AB - AIMS: To develop an immunocapture universal primer PCR (iUPPCR) combined with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and evaluate it as a method permitting rapid detection of Shigella species and their serotypes. METHODS AND RESULTS: This method amplifying the conserved regions of bacterial 16S rRNA genes of different species or serotypes of Shigella dysentery bacilli captured and enriched by polyvalent antibodies can detect and distinguish causative pathogens rapidly. Four serotypes from three Shigella species including Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1, Shigella boydii serotype 1, Shigella flexneri serotypes 1a and 3a were examined. CONCLUSION: Our approach could be adopted for not only axenic bacterial population but also mixed communities and achieve rapid detection of various bacteria from the same genus or species in one sample. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The iUPPCR-DGGE method was shown to be more convenient than serotype-specific-antibody-based method of iUPPCR for Shigella species detection and it could be also applied to the quick detection for other kinds of pathogens with many serotypes.
