OmpA is a virulence factor of Riemerella anatipestifer 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Riemerella anatipestifer infection is probably the most economically important disease of farm ducks worldwide. The pathogen R. anatipestifer causes septicemia anserum exsudativa in ducks, but little is known about the molecular basis of its pathogenesis and the virulence factors involved. In this study, by deleting ompA gene from R. anatipestifer serotype 2 strain Th4, we constructed a mutant strain Th4ΔompA to investigate whether R. anatipestifer OmpA is an important virulence factor. Results showed that although the growth curve, bacterial and colony morphology of Th4ΔompA in tryptic soybean broth (TSB) or on TSB agar were similar to its parent strain Th4, the adhesion and invasion capacities of mutant strain to Vero cells were decreased significantly. Furthermore, the median lethal dose (LD(50)) of both strains was determined to measure the virulence with 10-day-old Cherry Valley ducklings. The results showed that LD(50) of Th4ΔompA mutant was >10(10) colony forming units (CFU), it was attenuated significantly in comparison with that of Th4 which LD(50) was 4.41 × 10(8) CFU. Additional analysis indicated that blood bacterial loading of ducklings infected with the Th4ΔompA mutant were much lower than those of Th4-infected ducklings. The results demonstrate that OmpA is a virulence factor of R. anatipestifer, and that it may act as an adhesin. 相似文献

旨在明确鸭疫里默氏杆菌烯醇化酶(Enolase)在其侵袭鸭脑微血管内皮细胞(DBMEC)以及血脑屏障(BBB)中的作用。本研究以鸭疫里默氏杆菌RA-LZ01株为亲本株，利用同源重组和结合转移的方法构建enolase基因缺失株ΔEnolase和回复株cΔEnolase，并测定RA-LZ01、ΔEnolase和cΔEnolase对DBMEC黏附和侵袭能力的差异；用上述菌株感染雏鸭，测定雏鸭血液和脑组织中的载菌量。结果表明，与亲本株RA-LZ01相比，缺失株ΔEnolase对DBMEC的黏附率和入侵率均极显著降低；回复株cΔEnolase恢复了对DBMEC的黏附和入侵能力。感染RA-LZ01、ΔEnolase和cΔEnolase菌株的雏鸭的血液载菌量无显著差异；与感染RA-LZ01和cΔEnolase菌株的雏鸭相比，感染ΔEnolase菌株的雏鸭脑组织中的载菌量极显著降低。以上结果说明，Enolase与鸭疫里默氏杆菌黏附和入侵DBMEC以及入侵雏鸭脑组织显著相关，可能为介导鸭疫里默氏杆菌突破鸭血脑屏障的毒力因子。 相似文献

The Escherichia coli type III secretion system 2 (ETT2) is found in most pathogenic E. coli strains. Although many ETT2 gene clusters carry multiple genetic mutations or deletions, ETT2 is known to be involved in bacterial virulence. To date, no studies have been conducted on the role of ETT2 in the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), which harbours ETT2. Thus, we deleted the ETT2 of APEC strain and evaluated the phenotypes and pathogenicities of the mutant. The results showed that deletion of ETT2 had no effect on APEC growth, but significantly promoted biofilm formation. In addition, as compared to the wild-type （WT） strain, the ETT2 deletion significantly promoted adherence to and invasion of DF-1 chicken fibroblasts and facilitated survival in the sera of specific-pathogen-free chickens. Analysis of the role of ETT2 in animal infection models demonstrated that the distribution of viable bacteria in the blood and organs of chicks infected with the ΔETT2 was significantly higher than those infected with WT. The results of RNA sequencing indicated that multiple genes involved in biofilm formation, lipopolysaccharide components, fimbrial genes and virulence effector proteins are regulated by ETT2. Collectively, these results implicated ETT2 is involved in the biofilm formation and pathogenicity of APEC. 相似文献

BackgroundListeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive bacterium that causes listeriosis mainly in immunocompromised hosts. It can also cause foodborne outbreaks and has the ability to adapt to various environments. Peptide uptake in gram-positive bacteria is enabled by oligopeptide permeases (Opp) in a process that depends on ATP hydrolysis by OppD and F. Previously a putative protein Lmo2193 was predicted to be OppD, but little is known about the role of OppD in major processes of L. monocytogenes, such as growth, virulence, and biofilm formation.ObjectivesTo determine whether the virulence traits of L. monocytogenes are related to OppD.MethodsIn this study, lmo2193 gene deletion and complementation strains of L. monocytogenes were generated and compared with a wild-type strain for the following: adhesiveness, invasion ability, intracellular survival, proliferation, 50% lethal dose (LD50) to mice, and the amount bacteria in the mouse liver, spleen, and brain.ResultsThe results showed that virulence of the deletion strain was 1.34 and 0.5 orders of magnitude higher than that of the wild-type and complementation strains, respectively. The function of Lmo2193 was predicted and verified as OppD from the ATPase superfamily. Deletion of lmo2193 affected the normal growth of L. monocytogenes, reduced its virulence in cells and mice, and affected its ability to form biofilms.ConclusionsDeletion of the oligopeptide transporter Lmo2193 decreases the virulence of L. monocytogenes. These effects may be related to OppD''s function, which provides a new perspective on the regulation of oligopeptide transporters in L. monocytogenes. 相似文献

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is considered a primary pathogen of canine skin and soft tissue infections, and the rapid emergence of methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius worldwide is a major issue. In the current study, genotypic and phenotypic correlates associated with S. pseudintermedius causing canine otitis externa were evaluated using 41 S. pseudintermedius strains isolated from dogs with otitis externa (n = 26) and healthy dogs (n = 15). The S. pseudintermedius strains were subjected to a comparative analysis of (i) genotypes (multilocus sequence typing, agr, and spa types), (ii) methicillin resistance and SCCmec types, (iii) multidrug resistance (MDR), (iv) biofilm formation, and (v) susceptibility to canine cathelicidin (K9CATH). A high degree of genetic diversity was observed in both groups of S. pseudintermedius strains, regardless of methicillin resistance. Almost all methicillin-resistant strains (>95%) harbored SCCmec V and displayed MDR. Although there was no difference in biofilm formation, S. pseudintermedius strains derived from otitis externa exhibited enhanced resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptide (K9CATH) compared with strains from healthy dogs. The high degree of heterogeneity in MLST, agr, and spa types prevented the identification of correlations between any specific genotype and virulence phenotype in otitis externa caused by S. pseudintermedius, These findings provide an important basis for monitoring and treating canine skin and soft tissue infections in Korea. 相似文献

To examine the genetic background of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) that affects virulence of this microorganism, we characterized the virulence genes of 101 APEC strains isolated from infected chickens between 1985~2005. Serotypes were determined with available anti-sera and median lethal doses were determined in subcutaneously inoculated chicks. The virulence genes we tested included ones encoding type 1 fimbriae (fimC), iron uptake-related (iroN, irp2, iucD, and fyuA), toxins (lt, st, stx1, stx2, and vat), and other factors (tsh, hlyF, ompT, and iss). Twenty-eight strains were found to be O1 (2.0%), O18 (3.0%), O20 (1.0%), O78 (19.8%), and O115 (2.0%) serotypes. The iroN (100%) gene was observed most frequently followed by ompT (94.1%), fimC (90.1%), hlyF (87.1%), iss (78.2%), iucD (73.3%), tsh (61.4%), fyuA (44.6%), and irp2 (43.6%). The strains were negative for all toxin genes except for vat (10.9%). All the strains were classified into 27 molecular pathotypes (MPs). The MP25, MP19, and MP10 pathotypes possessing iroN-fimC-ompT-hlyF-iucD-tsh-iss-irp2-fyuA (22.8%), iroN-fimC-ompT-hlyF-iucD-tsh-iss (21.8%), and iroN-fimC-ompT-hlyF-iss (11.9%) genotypes, respectively, were predominant. Redundancy of iron uptake-related genes was clearly observed and some strains were associated with higher mortality than others. Therefore, strains with the predominant genotypes can be used for diagnosis and vaccine. 相似文献

Pigs are known to harbour a variety of staphylococcal bacteria, including Staphylococcus epidermidis, in the upper respiratory tract. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence, genetic diversity, virulence and antimicrobial resistance of S. epidermidis in healthy pigs, as well as to identify the potential role of pigs as a reservoir of zoonotic infection.The overall prevalence of S. epidermidis carriage was 28%, with approximately half of the pigs tested (13.5%) carrying methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE). Some isolates belonged to multilocus sequence types, associated with healthy human carriers or healthcare personnel (ST88, ST210) whereas others were related to animal or environmental strains (ST100, ST273). Most MRSE isolates carried SCCmec type IV, with SCCmec type V or a non-typeable SCCmec detected in the remaining isolates. Both MRSE and methicillin-susceptible S. epidermidis isolates showed a degree of antimicrobial resistance, with most resistant to tetracycline and/or trimethoprim antimicrobial drugs. Isolates subjected to micro-array analysis carried the antimicrobial resistance genes tet(K), tet(M) and dfrS1, while half carried the arginine catabolic element (ACME) associated with colonisation. Some MRSE ST273 strains also carried the ica operon involved in biofilm formation. These research findings provide insight into the population structure and characteristics of S. epidermidis carried by healthy pigs, suggesting a role for these strains as a potential reservoir for antimicrobial and virulence genes and indicating that exchange of strains might occur between pigs and humans. 相似文献

The association between virulence and the occurrence of the extracellular proteins A, T1, T2 and T3 in the culture supernatant of pigeon Streptococcus bovis strains, was examined in experimental infection studies. Fourteen groups of 10–17 pigeons were inoculated intravenously with 1 × 109 CFU of S. bovis strains that belonged to the phenotypes A +T1, A −T1, A +T2, A −T2, A +T3 and A −T3, respectively. The overall postinoculation morbidity in the phenotype groups was 85%, 87%, 70%, 5%, 100% and 37%, respectively. These results indicate that strains producing A or T1 are of high virulence, those producing T3 only are of moderate virulence and those producing T2 are of low virulence. Virulence of S. bovis for pigeons was more clearly correlated with supernatant-phenotype than with serotype. 相似文献

Biofilm-forming ability is increasingly being recognized as an important virulence factor in several Staphylococcus species. This study evaluated the biofilm-forming ability of sixty canine derived clinical isolates of S. pseudintermedius, using three phenotypic methods, microtiter plate test (MtP), Congo red agar method (CRA) and tube adherence test, and the presence and impact of biofilm-associated genes (icaA and icaD). The results showed that icaA and icaD genes were detected concomitantly in 55 (91.7%) of 60 isolates. A majority (88.3%) of the strains screened had matching results by the tube adherence test, MtP and PCR analysis. Better agreement (95%) was found between the PCR-based analysis and the CRA. Results of the icaA and icaD gene PCRs showed good agreement with CRA results, with a kappa of 0.7. Comparing the phenotypic methods,
the statistical analysis showed that the agreement among the phenotypical tests using categorical data was generally good. Considering two classes (biofilm producer and biofilm non-producer), the percentage of matching results between the CRA method and the tube adherence test and between the CRA method and the MtP was 93.3%. A concordance of 100% was revealed between the MtP and the tube adherence test. The results indicate a high prevalence of the ica genes within S. pseudintermedius isolates, and their presence is associated with in vitro formation of a biofilm. A combination of phenotypic and genotypic tests is recommended for investigating biofilm formation in S. pseudintermedius. 相似文献
