Influence of different DNA extractions on the identification of streptococcus sanguis group by arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction / 浙江大学学报·医学版

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of different DNA extractions on the identification of streptococcus sanguis group (SSG) species by arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR). METHODS: AP-PCR was used to distinguish SSG species by designing 25bp arbitrary primer 5'AAG AGA GGA GCT AGC TCT TCT TGG A 3', and the genomic DNA was extracted by 3 methods. RESULTS: There were great differences in the main band of DNA polymorphism among SSG species. The similar band could be got from the different DNA extractions in the same species. CONCLUSION: Different DNA extractions have no influence on the identification of SSG.
