Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a gram-positive rod capable of causing erysipelas in swine. To establish a method for specifically detecting E. rhusiopathiae for practical applications, such as for the inspection of slaughterhouses, the feasibility of using primers derived from the DNA sequence coding for 16S rRNA in a PCR-specific detection system was investigated. Oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify a 407-bp DNA fragment by PCR. The amplification was specific to the Erysipelothrix DNA but not to that of other bacterial genera tested. This PCR-based method efficiently and specifically detected the Erysipelothrix DNA sequence in joint and spleen samples from mice within 6 h, and application of the 407-bp DNA segment from samples containing very low numbers of bacteria (
