Abstract

Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive spore-forming bacterium that causes the disease anthrax. In order to develop a DNA marker specific for Bacillus anthracis and to discriminate this species from Bacillus cereus group, we applied the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR technique to a collection of 29 strains of the genus Bacillus, including 22 species of the B. cereus group. A 709-bp RAPD marker (KHT5) specific for B. anthracis was obtained from B. anthracis BAK. The PCR product of internal primer set from the KHT5 fragment distinguished B. anthracis from the other species of the B. cereus group.

탄저균은 그람양성 아포형성세균으로 탄저를 일으키는 원인균이다. Bacillus cereus그룹에 속하는 22종을 포함하여 Bacillus 속의 29종에서 탄저균을 검증할 수 있는 DNA 마커를 개발하고 이를 이용하여 B. cereus 그룹에서 탄저균만을 구분하였다. 한국산 탄저균 경주로부터 709 bp마커(KHTS)를 확보하였다. KHTS분절로부터 얻어진 internal primer set의 PCR 산물은 B. cereus 그룹의 다른 종으로부터 탄저균만을 구별하였다.
