RESUMO

This study compared the performance of four protocols of DNA extraction from suspensions of different tissues from experimentally infected cows with 2308 strain. The compared extraction protocols were GT protocol (lyse with guanidine isotiocianate), Boom (lyse with GT and treated with the carrying suspension Diatomaceous earth), PK (lise with proteinase K) and Santos (lyse by boiling and freezing with liquid nitrogen). Based on classical bacteriology, positive and negative gold standard groups were built and consisted of 54 cotyledons (27 pos. and 27 neg.), 39 supramammary lymph nodes (12 pos. and 27 neg.), 44 prescapulars (17 pos. and 27 neg.), 33 livers (6 pos. and 27 neg.), 37 spleens (10 pos. and 27 neg.), and 34 udders (7 pos. and 27 neg.). All the samples were submitted to the four DNA extraction protocols and the same amplification process using the primers B4 and B5. According to consolidated results by tissue, the proportion of positives in cotyledon was bigger than supramammary lymph node (p=0,0001), prescapular lymph node (p<0,0001), liver (p=0,0006), spleen (p<0,0001) and udder (p=0,0019). The consolidated results for the extraction methods show that Santos protocol had bigger relative sensitivity than Boom method (p=0,003) and GT (p=0,0506), and was equal than PK (p=0,2969). There were not significant statistical differences in the others comparisons of proportions. In the study, PCR-positive and isolation-negative samples and vice-versa were verified. However, the disadvantages of the classic bacteriological method, the best strategy for direct diagnosis of the infection of cows for B. abortus in homogenized of tissues is combined use of isolation and PCR, examining the cotyledons and using the methods of DNA extraction from Santos or PK.
