IEF and HPLC-based methods for efficient bacterial characterization
Kubesová, Anna ; Šalplachta, Jiří ; Moravcová, Dana ; Horká, Marie
Pectobacterium and Dickeya species are responsible for blackleg and tuber soft rot diseases on crop and ornamental plants. Recently, a more virulent and aggressive Dickeya type of E. chrysanthemi was described and it becomes serious problem for potato production in Europe. In this study, we suggest procedures using two commonly available laboratory techniques, gel isoelectric focusing and liquid chromatography, for differentiation and characterization of Pectobacterium and Dickeya species. We have confirmed that fingerprinting approach can be used for bacterial differentiation, which can be further used in rapid diagnosis of plant disease.

Filtration microcartridge and capillary isoelectric focusing for the analysis low number of microorganisms in real samples
Kubesová, Anna ; Horká, Marie ; Šalplachta, Jiří ; Horký, J.
At present, detection and identification of microorganisms in real biological samples needs very sensitive methods for correct diagnosis and therapy in medical practice, biotechnology, agriculture, food safety and quality etc. Accordingly, it is essential to develop new cheap techniques for pathogen identification, particularly for pathogen in complex biological samples. Pre-concentration, separation, and sensitive detection of whole cells in one step are great potential and advantage for detection of pathogens in low concentration. Combination of filtration microcartridge and capillary isoelectric focusing was developed for pre-concentration and pre-separation of microorganisms from real suspensions and the possibility its application to real samples was verified.
