Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop species-specific DNA probe for detection and identification of Prevotella intermedia (P. intermedia) G8-9K-3. This study procedure includes (1) whole-genomic DNA extraction of P. intermedia G8-9K-3 (2) construction of the genomic DNA library, (3) screening of strain-specific DNA probe by reverse dot hybridization, (4) confirmation of strain-specific DNA probe by Southern blot hybridization, (5) determination of nucleotide sequences of strain-specific DNA probe. Twenty-eight recombinant plasmids containing Hind III-digested DNA fragments of P. intermedia G8-9K-3 were obtained. Reverse dot Hybridization and Southern blot analysis data showed that one of them, Pig3, could be P. intermedia G8-9K-3-specific DNA probe. This datum indicates that this Pig3 DNA probe could be useful in detection and identification of the P. intermedia G8-9K-3 strain.
