Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Subtyping Database for FoodborneSalmonella entericaSerotype Discrimination

Abstract: Nontyphoid Salmonella is one of the main causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and is responsible for 65% of reported outbreaks of foodborne diseases in France. Serotyping is widely used for isolate preliminary identification, but it poorly discriminates strains. Rapid, efficient molecular subtyping tools have therefore been developed for the investigation of outbreaks. We evaluated the performance of the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method for discrimination of 31 Salmonella serotypes frequ… Show more

“…PFGE produces comparable data of genotypic characteristics of Salmonella strains and it is accepted as the gold standard among molecular methods [12,13]. In addition to this, it has been used in typing Salmonella in human patients, animal sources and foods because of its discriminatory power and high reproducibility [14][15][16]. Numerous reports have been documented that using the highly discriminatory technique of PFGE was successful to track the source of Salmonella infections in different serovars [17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Numerous reports have been documented that using the highly discriminatory technique of PFGE was successful to track the source of Salmonella infections in different serovars [17][18][19][20][21]. However, PFGE does not display equal sensitivity in different serovars [14,21] and it has several limitations including changes in DNA concentration, percent of agarose in the gel, applied voltage and gel temperature. Beside these, it requires at least 3-4 days labour intensive to complete the test and the presence of expensive specialized equipment and high quality chemicals [7,22,23].…”

“…In addition to PFGE (16,17), different ribotyping approaches (18)(19)(20), repetitive extragenic palindromic sequencebased PCR (rep-PCR) (21,22), multilocus sequence typing (MLST) (23,24), and molecular typing based on genomic markers (25)(26)(27)(28) have been investigated for their abilities to replace or complement traditional serotyping. While many of these methods have been able to reliably predict a limited set of serovars, they still lack widespread adoption, likely due to the requirements for specialized equipment, as well as a lack of proven reliability for predicting Salmonella serovars.…”

“…A number of recent strategies have employed PCR-based approaches to determine different O and H antigens as a means to replace serologic identification of these antigens (14,20,25,32). Others have proposed alternative strategies examining genetic differences as a means of identifying serovars, including ribotyping (17), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) (28), multiplex PCR (3,4,29), IS200 analysis (18,46), random amplification of DNA polymorphisms (45), and DNA microarray analysis (38,42).…”
