金黄色葡萄球菌是引起奶牛细菌性乳腺炎的主要原因,生物被膜的形成是金黄色葡萄球菌在不利环境条件下持久性存在的关键因素。探索同一株菌在生物被膜态与浮游态生长状态下的耐药性与其生长状态的相关性,可为进一步探究金黄色葡萄球菌的耐药性机制奠定基础。本研究培养了金黄色葡萄球菌的生物被膜,使用光学显微镜和扫描电镜观察其形成过程。测定并比较了9种抗菌药物对32株金黄色葡萄球菌在生物被膜态和浮游态的最小抑菌浓度,并对两种状态下的金黄色葡萄球菌进行转录组学测序,筛选出具有显著性差异的细胞信号通路和表达基因,同时对主要差异表达的基因进行RT-qPCR验证。结果发现,在生物被膜形成前期,随着培养时间的延长,显微镜下观察到的生物被膜态菌聚集面积越来越大,结构也越来越紧密,培养至72 h后,生物被膜逐渐开始分散。MIC测定结果显示浮游态菌的抑菌浓度低于生物被膜态菌。转录组结果显示两种状态菌的差异表达基因共1 512个,其中,生物被膜态菌中上调基因760个,下调752个。GO与KEGG富集分析显示,相比于浮游态菌,生物被膜态菌中与代谢相关的通路显著富集,其次为氨基酸的生物合成和ABC转运蛋白通路。与生物被膜形成相关的基因,如编码ABC转运蛋白的基因表达上调,而与代谢途径相关的基因下调。RT-qPCR验证了10个主要差异基因,其表达差异趋势与转录组测序结果一致。这些差异可能对金黄色葡萄球菌生物被膜态的高耐药性和细菌毒力的研究有所帮助。  相似文献

链球菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌是引起奶牛乳腺炎的3大病原菌,在链球菌属中无乳链球菌是引起奶牛乳腺炎的重要病原菌之一,由无乳链球菌导致的乳腺炎约占隐性乳腺炎发病率的56.25%。无乳链球菌入侵奶牛乳腺的过程主要包括感染、黏附上皮细胞、侵入上皮细胞、损伤机体和免疫逃避等过程。无乳链球菌的毒力因子具有附着和侵袭机体细胞的作用,使菌体在奶牛乳腺表面形成生物被膜,进而干扰机体的正常免疫功能并引起疾病。本文主要阐述了无乳链球菌在入侵乳腺组织过程中发挥主要作用的毒力因子的种类、作用机制以及调控过程,旨在通过抑制其相关毒力因子的活性,从而阻断无乳链球菌在乳腺中感染和传播,进而为预防和治疗链球菌型乳腺炎提供新的思路。  相似文献

Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli are the three major pathogens causing mastitis in dairy cows, and Streptococcus agalactiae (S.agalactiae) in Streptoco-ccus is one of the important pathogens causing mastitis in dairy cows, which accounts for around 56.25% of the incidence of sub-clinic mastitis. The process of S.agalactiae invasion mammary glands of dairy cows mainly includes:infection, adhesion, invasion, and then damage the mammary tissue and entail the inflammation. The virulence factor of S. agalactiae has the function of attaching and invading the mammary gland epithelial cells so that the bacteria could form the biofilm on the surface. After infection, the irritation of the mammary tissues by infectious processes serves to the immune response. In this paper, we summarized the types, mechanism, and regulation process of S. agalactiae virulence factors which plays a major role in the invasion of mastitis, aimed to show the activity of S. agalactiae by inhibiting the activity of its related virulence factors in preventing dairy cow mastitis and provide new ideas for the treatment.  相似文献

旨在揭示金黄色葡萄球菌针对β-内酰胺类抗生素可能存在细胞壁增厚的耐药机制。2016-2018年间,采集宁夏地区部分奶牛养殖场临床及亚临床型乳腺炎的乳样,通过显色培养基鉴别、镜检及PCR方法,分离鉴定牛乳源金黄色葡萄球菌;利用微量肉汤稀释法测定细菌对14种抗菌药物的耐药性,了解本地区金黄色葡萄球菌的耐药率及多重耐药情况;通过qRT-PCR方法检测细胞壁增厚相关的pbpB、murG、glmU、atlR基因转录丰度,并结合透射电镜进行形态观察,以确定增厚及发生原因。结果显示,分离鉴定出261株牛乳源金黄色葡萄球菌,其中包括9株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,MRSA)。药敏试验结果显示,金黄色葡萄球菌对β-内酰胺类抗生素具有较高的耐药率,其中氨苄西林为79.69%,青霉素为78.54%。多重耐药情况是以3、7和8重耐药的菌株居多;其中1株耐药种数达14种之多。qRT-PCR结果表明,4种相关基因的转录丰度均极显著上调(P<0.001或P<0.01)。透射电镜观察发现,甲氧西林敏感的金黄色葡萄球菌(methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus,MSSA)JY21菌株的细胞壁在64和128 μg·mL-1的青霉素浓度下,较对照组均极显著增厚(P<0.001),并可见细胞壁表面粗糙,有结节状凸起;但药物浓度从64 μg·mL-1升高至128 μg·mL-1细胞壁不再显著增厚(P>0.05)。MRSA WLD10菌株细胞壁未出现明显增厚(P>0.05)。综上所述,本地区牛乳源金黄色葡萄球菌针对β-内酰胺类抗生素,存在细胞壁增厚的耐药机制;增厚的原因主要是肽聚糖的过度合成及细胞自溶的减少。与MSSA JY21菌株相比,细胞壁增厚并非MRSA WLD10重要的耐药机制。  相似文献

The effects of pretreatment of Staphylococcus aureus with subMIC or 10 × MIC amoxycillin, cloxacillin and nafcillin on subsequent killing by bovine neutrophils or sensitivity to lysostaphin were examined in vitro, using penicillinase positive and negative strains. All penicillins increased the susceptibility of S. aureus to bovine neutrophils; with amoxycillin this was most marked with the penicillinase negative strain. Cloxacillin pretreatment was significantly more effective than nafcillin or amoxycillin in some tests and equally effective in others. The sensitivity of S. aureus to lysostaphin was increased following cloxacillin or nafcillin exposure. In a mouse model of mastitis, more cloxacillin and nafcillin-treated S. aureus (at 1/4 MIC) were killed than untreated bacteria 1 hr after infection but by 4 hr no differences were found. No differences were seen after intramammary infection with 10 × MIC penicillin-treated S. aureus. In glands with established chronic mastitis both cloxacillin and nafcillin at high doses failed to kill staphylococci. These findings indicate that prior exposure to penicillins increases staphylococcal susceptibility to killing by neutrophils but following phagocytosis, intracellular bacteria are protected from the lethal action of penicillins.  相似文献

旨在探讨金黄色葡萄球菌(S.aureus)型和大肠杆菌(E.coli)型乳腺炎奶牛乳腺组织的炎症相关因子基因的mRNA转录水平。将105 CFU·mL-1S.aureusE.coli经乳导管分别注入奶牛乳房,在感染第7天采用活体无菌手术法采集乳腺组织,并采用组织HE染色和免疫荧光法进行乳腺炎模型的鉴定;利用qPCR分别检测了2个诱导组和对照组奶牛乳腺组织的趋化因子家族(CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CXCL2和CXCL13)、补体因子(CFICFB)、自噬调节因子DEPP1和白细胞介素受体IL21R共9个基因的mRNA转录水平。结果显示:与对照组相比,TLR4/NF-κB炎症相关信号通路中的关键分子(TLR4、NF-κB和TNFα)在2个诱导组乳腺组织中的蛋白表达水平均极显著上调(P<0.01);结合HE染色结果,表明本试验成功构建了2种类型的奶牛乳腺炎活体模型。mRNA转录水平的检测结果表明,与对照组相比,7个基因(CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CXCL2、CFICFBIL21R)在2个诱导组乳腺组织中的mRNA转录水平均极显著上调(P<0.001),CXCL13的mRNA转录水平仅在S.aurues诱导组乳腺组织中极显著上调(P<0.01);DEPP1的mRNA转录水平在2个诱导组中均极显著下调(P<0.01)。此外,CCL2、CCL8、CXCR1、CFIIL21R共5个基因在E.coli诱导组中的mRNA转录水平均极显著高于S.aureus组(P<0.01)。S.aureusE.coli感染均可导致奶牛产生严重的临床乳腺炎症状,并促使上述炎症相关基因的mRNA转录水平在乳腺组织中发生变化,以应对乳腺炎症的发生与发展过程;趋化因子CCL2等5个基因在E.coli诱导组中的mRNA转录水平显著高于S.aureus诱导组,解释了E.coli常常能引起急性乳腺炎,而S.aureus可引起慢性乳腺炎的原因。上述结果可为深入研究不同类型乳腺炎的分子调控机制提供参考。  相似文献

A total of 142 S. aureus strains isolated from pig carcasses from abattoirs A (n = 98) and B (n = 44) were characterized by phenotypic and genotypic traits. Phenotypically, 96% showed yellow-pigmented colonies, 63% β/δ hemolysis, 85% were egg yolk-positive and 99% were positive for clumping factor/protein A. Only 25% of the strains were resistant to the antimicrobials tested (abattoir A: 19%; abattoir B: 39%), especially to penicillin and ampicillin. None of the strains harbored the mecA gene, which is conserved in methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The biofilm associated genes icaA, icaD and bap were present in 100%, 100% and 0% of the strains. Genes for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) were detected in 51% (abattoir A) and 14% of the strains (abattoir B). Among strains harboring SE genes (n = 56), 63%, 31%, 4% and 2% tested positive for seg/sei, seg, sei and sec, respectively. The amplification of the 3′ end of the coagulase gene (coa) yielded amplicons of 400, 436, 602, 682 or 776 bp. Coa restriction profile (CRP) analysis using HaeIII resulted in seven patterns (a–d, e1–e3). CRP (c) was detected most frequently at both abattoirs, whereas CRP (a) was restricted to abattoir A and CRP (e3) to abattoir B. In the slaughter process (abattoir B), (i) two CRPs (b and d) were only found before dehairing/singeing, and (ii) four CRPs (c, e1–e3) were identified throughout the process. The genotyping revealed a remarkable homogeneity in S. aureus strains from the two different abattoirs and the slaughter process stages. These results may be explained by the distribution of a limited number of S. aureus genotypes in the pig population. Moreover, as the predominant CRPs (c, e1–e3) persisted throughout the slaughter process in abattoir B, it may be hypothesized that these types are characterized by colonization advantages.  相似文献

Antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella spp., especially resistance mediated by extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), is a growing public health concern. Understanding the mechanisms through which Salmomella spp. acquire the resistance genes can lead to the development of intervention and mitigation strategies. Thirty-one Salmonella isolates of bovine origin were analyzed by serotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, phage induction and bacterial host range determination, and phage transduction of antimicrobial resistance. The Salmonella isolates consisted of 12 serovars. Resistance to 1 or more antibiotics was detected in 12 isolates. Inducible phages were recovered from 19 Salmonella (61%) by spot lysis assay. Of the 19 phage samples, 13 were able to multiply in 2 or more Salmonella of various serovars. A cross-serovar transduction of antimicrobial resistance was observed from S. Heidelberg to S. Typhimurium. Transfection of an antimicrobial-susceptible strain of S. Typhimurium with a phage propagated in a S. Heidelberg resistant to multiple β-lactam antibiotics and tetracycline resulted in independent acquisition of blaCMY-2, tet(A), and tet(B). These data indicate that inducible phages are common in Salmonella of bovine origin, many of them demonstrate a broad host range, and wild-type phage mediated transduction may contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, including the resistance mediated by ESBL.  相似文献

为探究抗菌肽NZ2114对无乳链球菌的体外抑制效果和相关机制,本试验以无乳链球菌ATCC 13813为研究对象,通过最小抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC)、杀菌动力学、抗生素后效应和电镜学试验对抗菌肽NZ2114杀菌特性和杀菌机制进行评价,并进一步分析其对无乳链球菌生物膜和持留菌的抑制和消除作用。结果显示,NZ2114对无乳链球菌ATCC 13813的MIC为0.23 μmol/L,对3株奶牛乳腺炎临床分离菌株CAU-FRI 1、2和3的MIC均为0.11 μmol/L,万古霉素对以上4株受试菌株的MIC值均为0.67 μmol/L,因此NZ2114的抗菌活性是万古霉素的2.91和6.09倍。同时,2×MIC、4×MIC浓度的NZ2114可在0.5 h内杀灭99.9%细菌,且持续药效作用可达270 min。扫描电镜结果显示,NZ2114处理后,细菌表面出现皱缩甚至破裂,细菌产生的生物膜消除。NZ2114在2×MIC下,24 h对早期生物膜抑制率为99.9%;在32×MIC下,24 h对成熟生物膜消除率达99.9%。此外,NZ2114在16×MIC时,对生物膜内的菌体具有99.9%以上的杀灭效果;万古霉素无法清除的持留菌经0.5×MIC的NZ2114处理后,也可以达到99%以上的消除率。激光共聚焦结果显示,NZ2114处理后的生物膜厚度从28.48 μm减少到10.32 μm,证明了其强效杀菌和抑制生物膜的作用。上述结果表明,NZ2114对无乳链球菌ATCC 13813杀菌活性高、速度快、抑制/去除生物膜能力强,并对膜内菌及持留菌具有高效杀菌作用,且作用显著高于万古霉素。因此,NZ2114具有开发成为治疗由无乳链球菌引起的奶牛乳房炎新型制剂的潜力。  相似文献

Biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance of Staphylococcus aureus are important virulence factors in cases of mastitis in dairy cows. However, few studies have investigated mastitis strains isolated from heifers. Within this context, the objective of the present study was to investigate biofilm formation on Congo red agar, the presence of the icaA and icaD genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the percentage of in vitro antimicrobial resistance of 110 S. aureus isolates from mammary gland secretions of heifers and cows with mastitis. PCR detected the icaA and icaD genes in 98% and 100% of isolates, respectively. However, only 55.5% of all isolates produced a biofilm on Congo red agar. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that 47.0% of isolates from heifers and 70.4% of isolates from cows were resistant to at least one of the antimicrobial agents tested. Resistance to penicillin and/or ampicillin was the most frequent (44.5%). These results indicate the need to implement prophylactic and control measures of mastitis for heifers. Heifers and cows can carry resistant strains with the capacity of biofilm production, a fact representing a threat to public health and animal well‐being and generating losses to dairy farmers.  相似文献

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important causal agents of bovine mastitis. Population studies on bovine Staphylococcus aureus isolates have identified considerable genetic heterogeneity among strains causing mastitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of different clonal complexes and the occurrence of virulence factors and resistance determinants within bovine Staphylococcus aureus isolates.A total of 189 Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from milk samples of 34 dairy herds in the German Federal State of Thuringia were characterised by microarray technology.The isolates were assigned to eleven different clonal complexes with CC151, CC479 and CC133 being dominant (together 80.5%). The methicillin resistance gene mecA was found in four isolates (2.1%), which belonged to CC398. Enterotoxin genes could be detected in 79.3% of analysed Staphylococcus aureus and 19 isolates (10.1%) harboured a distinct allele of the toxic shock syndrome toxin gene, tst-RF122. The most striking finding of the present study was that almost all except one isolate (151/152) belonging to CC151, CC479 and CC133 harboured the leukocidin genes lukF-P83 and lukM, whereas no further isolates from other lineages possessed these genes.The consistent occurrence of lukF-P83/lukM in the dominating clonal complexes suggests an essential role of this leukocidin in the etiology of bovine mastitis.  相似文献

为探究真菌防御素Plectasin衍生肽NZ2114对奶牛乳房炎源停乳链球菌的体外杀菌效果及其作用机制,本试验采用微量肉汤稀释法检测停乳链球菌CVCC 3938耐药性,通过NZ2114对停乳链球菌CVCC 3938最小抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration,MIC)及在胰蛋白胨大豆肉汤(tryptic soy broth,TSB)培养基和全脂灭菌(ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization,UHT)牛奶中的杀菌动力学曲线的测定评价其抗菌特性;借助扫描电镜、透射电镜和流式细胞仪观察NZ2114作用下的细菌形态变化;使用凝胶阻滞、荧光光谱和圆二色谱进一步分析NZ2114对细菌基因组DNA的作用。结果显示,停乳链球菌对氧氟沙星和四环素均产生耐药性,临床分离菌株则呈现多重耐药性,NZ2114对受试停乳链球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的MIC值为0.11~0.45 μmol/L。抗菌肽在TSB培养基和全脂灭菌牛奶中均具有抑菌活性,且在短时间内(0.5~3 h)可使停乳链球菌菌落数下降3个数量级。扫描电镜、透射电镜和流式细胞仪结果表明,抗菌肽NZ2114能够破坏停乳链球菌细胞膜,导致其内容物泄漏。凝胶阻滞、荧光光谱和圆二色谱证实抗菌肽穿过细胞膜后与细菌基因组结合,破坏了DNA,以此达到杀菌目的。上述结果表明,抗菌肽NZ2114对奶牛乳房炎源停乳链球菌杀菌活性强,其破坏菌体细胞膜后可直接作用于胞内的基因组DNA并改变其二级结构。由此可见,抗菌肽NZ2114是一种极具前景的治疗停乳链球菌引起乳腺炎的抗生素替代品。  相似文献

Biofilm and slime formation assists bacteria in avoiding the host immune defence and antimicrobial therapy. It is suspected to affect the severity or persistence of mastitis caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), which are a common cause of bovine mastitis. The phenotypic biofilm formation ability of 244 CNS isolates (199 isolates from bovine mastitis and 52 type and reference strains) was investigated with a tissue culture plate (TCP) assay and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Slime production of the strains was assessed using Congo red agar (CRA) plates. Additionally, genes encoding the adhesion proteins MSCRAMM (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) and biofilm-associated proteins (bap) were detected. The severity of intramammary infection (IMI) in mastitis from which the isolates originated was measured with milk N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) activity. One-third of isolates from mastitis produced biofilm when analysed with TCP or FISH. The kappa test value, measuring the agreement between two tests, differed between CNS species. Slime production was less frequent for isolates of the common mastitis species Staphylococcus chromogenes (0.2% of isolates produced slime) and Staphylococcus simulans (3.5%) compared to Staphylococcus epidermidis (40%). No association was found between the phenotypic ability to form biofilm and the persistence of IMI or severity of mastitis. Slime production was rare in isolates originating from IMI. Only 12.7% of isolates from persistent IMI and 1.8% of isolates from spontaneously eliminated IMI produced slime. The eno gene encoding laminin-binding protein was most frequently detected among the isolates from mastitis, 75% of them having this gene. Only a few other MSCRAMM genes were detected.  相似文献

A study was conducted on 207 lactating camels in six herds in Kenya to evaluate the California mastitis test (CMT) for the detection of intramammary infections (IMIs) caused by Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus and to investigate the prevalence of both the pathogens in the camel udder. IMI with S. agalactiae was found in 12% of all camels sampled. IMI with S. aureus was present in 11% of all camels sampled. The herd-level prevalence of IMI varied between 0 and 50% for S. agalactiae and between 0 and 13% for S. aureus. Longitudinal observations over 10–12 months confirmed persistent infections for both pathogens. Observations in one herd suggested that camel pox was a contributing factor in spreading and exacerbating S. agalactiae udder infections.

The CMT had quarter-level sensitivities of 77 and 68% for S. agalactiae and S. aureus in camels, respectively. The CMT specificities were 91% for both the pathogens.  相似文献
