PCR detection of Clostridium chauvoei in tissues of Cavia porcellus

The objective of this work was the standardization of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of Clostridium chauvoei in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of guinea-pigs (Cavia porcellus) infected experimentally with this microorganism. The animals were sacrificed, and samples of muscle from inoculation area (MIA), liver, myocardium and spleen were available for PCR technique. Clostridium chauvoei was detected in all sections of the MIA, liver and myocardium, and no product was observed in sections of the spleen. Cross-reactions were not observed in sections of MIA of the animals inoculated with other clostridia, as well as no amplification was observed in sections of MIA of control animals. These results show that the PCR technique developed in this study may be useful for detection of C. chauvoei in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi padronizar uma técnica de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR), para detecção de Clostridium chauvoei, em tecidos fixados em formol e incluídos em parafina de cobaias (Cavia porcellus) experimentalmente infectadas com esse microrganismo. Os animais foram sacrificados, e amostras do músculo da área de inoculação (MAI), fígado, miocárdio e baço foram disponibilizadas para a técnica de PCR. O clostrídio foi detectado em todas as secções do MAI, fígado e miocárdio, mas não foi observado em secções do baço. Reações cruzadas não foram observadas a partir de secções do MAI dos animais com inoculação de outras espécies de clostrídios, bem como nenhuma amplificação foi observada a partir de secções do MAI dos animais controle. Esses resultados mostram que a técnica de PCR desenvolvida neste estudo, pode ser usada para detecção de Clostridium chauvoei em tecidos fixados em formol e incluídos em parafina.
