Abstract

Using internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region ribosomal DNA sequences from 9 strains of Microsporum canis and 5 strains of Microsporum gypseum isolated from dogs and a cat with dermatophytosis, we demonstrated the mutual phylogenetic relationship of these strains. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the ITS 1 gene fragments from the 9 strains of M canis had the 100% nucleotide sequence similarities and the 5 strains of M gypseum also had the 100% nucleotide sequence similarities. The phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the 9 strains of M canis formed a nested cluster with the reference strains of M canis originating from USA, Australia, Japan, and Europe. M canis were genetically distinct from the other reference strains of Microsporum spp, but M distortum, M equinum, and M. ferrugineum were genetically very close to M canis. M gypseum from a cluster in the phylogenetic tree with M canis as an outgroup. The molecular analysis of ITS 1 genes provided the useful information for the identification of these microsporum species and the understanding of their relationship.

피부사상균증이 있는 개와 고양이에서 분리한 9주의 Microsporum canis와 5주의 Microsporum gypseum에서 ribosomal DNA를 추출하여 internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) gene을 PCA로 증폭한 후 sequencing을 실시하여, 각 사상균의 계통학적 관계를 조사하였다. M canis 분리주 9주의 ITS1 gene의 nucleotide sequence는 100% 일치하였으며 M gypseum 분리주 5주의 nucleotide sequence도 100% 일치하였다. M canis 분리주 9주의 계통분석 결과 미국, 일본, 호주 및 유럽에서 분리된 M canis와 같은 cluster에 속하였으며 다른 Microsporum spp와는 유전적으로 다른 cluster를 형성하였다. 그러나 M canis와 M distortum, M equinum, M ferrugineum은 유전적으로 매우 가까운 위치에 있었다. M gypseum 분리주는 M canis와는 다른 cluster를 형성하였다. ITS1 gene의 분자생물학적 분석은 Microsporum spp를 확인하고 그들의 유전학적 관계를 이해하는 유용한 정보를 제공하는 것으로 생각된다.
