Surveillance of Kanamycin Resistance to Escherichia coli from Swine by Digoxigenin-labled Plasmid Probe

摘要

A 4.34kb EcoR I fragment of kanamycin resistance plasmid from pET - 9a was purified by a DNA purification kit. The fragment was labeled with digoxigenin-dUTP with a commercial kit. A dot-blot hybridization and a colony hybridization test with the probe were successfully developed for the surveillance of Kanamycin resistance to E. coli from swine. It was shown that the methods obtained 100% concordance in a positive tate. It was indicated that the method was available for the surveillance of kanamycin resistance to E.coli from swine.
