Primer Design for Detecting all Clinically-Important β-Lactamase (Bla) Genes
[0097]Our strategy for the bla gene typing is the primer design using gene type-specific regions. We divided previously-reported bla genes into 54 types, which are comprised of 13 in class A, 16 in class B, 10 in class C, and 15 in class D (Table 1).

The Bla Detection Method (LARGE-SCALEblaFinder) Using a Single Colony
[0103]To avoid time consuming steps such as genomic DNA extraction, we introduced the simple LARGE-SCALEblaFinder using a single colony (FIG. 1). A single colony from an overnight culture was picked using 10 μl pipette tip and was suspended in the special solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100. The heated colony suspension followed by a centrifugation step was used as a template for the multiplex PCR. A single colony always yielded enough genomic DNA for the LARGE-SCALEblaFinder when the heated colony supernatants from control and clinical (test) strains (Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Providencia rettgeri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Serratia marcescens) were used as templates. Through precise optimization processes of colony multiplex PCRs, a DNA Taq polymerase, an annealing temperature, and concentrations of com...

Evaluation and Optimization of the LARGE-SCALEblaFinder Using Control Strains Previously Reported to Harbor Bla Gene(s)
[0104]In order to verify the ability of this method, PCR assays were performed on previously-reported bacterial strains, which have been reported to have bla gene(s) on chromosome or plasmid (FIGS. 2a to 2h). First, all primer pairs were validated as simplex PCRs before being employed in a multiplex PCR. Expectedly, only one amplification product of each bla gene with the expected size was detected in 54 simplex PCRs for detecting 54 bla gene types (FIGS. 2a to 2h). Besides the size of PCR product, direct sequencing of 54 PCR products confirmed the exact detection of 54 bla genes (FIGS. 2a to 2h). Notably, although there was not any optimization process, the multiplex PCR experiments with several templates (five-eight; e.g., five in C1 and eight in A1, Table 1) obtained from 54 positive control strains showed that 54 bla type-specific PCR products were exactly detec...
