Abstract

To create a fast, sensitive and inexpensive high-throughput method for the extraction of bacterial genomic DNA from selective-enrichment culture media. Lysis of bacteria was achieved using guanidinium isothiocyanate, and DNA was extracted using 96-well glass microfibre filtration plates. Extraction-PCR detected the presence of 1 cfu Yersinia ruckeri and 16 cfu Lactococcus garvieae 200 microl(-1) sample of selective-enrichment medium. An efficient method for high-throughput extraction of bacterial genomic DNA from selective-enrichment culture media was achieved. This method enables detection of covert bacterial infections in fish. The simultaneous extraction of large numbers of samples allows for its use in bacterial monitoring programmes and quarantine.
