초록
The purpose of this study was to develop Streptococcus sobrinus-specific qPCR primers based on the nucleotide sequence of the RNA polymerase β-subunit gene (rpoB). The specificity of the primers was determined by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with 12 strains of S. sobrinus and 50 strains (50 species) of non-S. sobrinus bacteria. The sensitivity of the primers was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNAs (40 ng to 4 fg) of S. sobrinus ATCC 33478T. The specificity data showed that the S. sobrinus-specific qPCR primers (RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4) detected only the genomic DNAs of S. sobrinus strains with a detection limit of up to 4 fg of S. sobrinus genomic DNA. Our results suggest that the RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4 primers are useful in detecting S. sobrinus with high sensitivity and specificity for epidemiological studies of dental caries.
