The present study was designed to identify and compare 32 beta-hemolytic streptococci isolated from 28 different harbor seals of the German North Sea during the phocine distemper outbreak in 2002. The bacteria were identified as Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus based on cultural, biochemical, serological and molecular studies. Epidemiological investigations by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region and gene szp and by macrorestriction analysis of the chromosomal DNA of the strains by pulsed field gel electrophoresis revealed that all 32 strains appeared to be identical. These results indicate that a single bacterial clone seemed to be distributed among the harbor seal population of the German North Sea during this outbreak. 相似文献

Decrease of the adhesion of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 mutants to embryonic bovine tracheal cells and porcine tracheal rings. 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen that may be present in the tonsils of pigs that show no signs of illness. Because adhesion to host cells may be important in the carrier state, this study was undertaken to investigate adhesion to host cells by S. suis mutant strains defective in expression of a 39-kDa protein. Mutant strains of S. suis were generated by transposon Tn916 mutagenesis and were tested for adhesion to embryonic bovine tracheal cells and porcine tracheal rings. Compared with the parent strain, there was a significant reduction in adherence of 3 mutant strains to both bovine tracheal cells and porcine tracheal rings. 相似文献

Development of a system for genetic and molecular analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
DNA-DNA hybridisation was used to compare the genetic relation of human and bovine strains of Streptococcus agalactiae. All strains showed significant homology under very stringent hybridisation conditions. The extent of relatedness did not correlate with the serological type. It was demonstrated that the S faecalis transposon Tn916 could be inserted randomly into the S agalactiae chromosome when introduced by conjugation. The ability of Tn916 insertion to cause genetic changes in S agalactiae was confirmed by identification of a mutation in lactose and trehalose fermentation associated with acquisition of the transposon. This system should be useful in genetic analysis of the pathogenicity of S agalactiae. 相似文献

Previous reports have suggested that the surface proteins found in meningeal strains of Streptococcus suis might be similar to the M protein of group A streptococci. Fifty-five strains of S suis, including human and swine meningeal and pneumonic isolates, were tested for M protein genes by DNA probes representing the constant domain of the 3' end of the group A, M protein gene. None of the S suis strains examined was positive, indicating that these organisms either lack M protein genes or harbour different genes, not expressing the constant domains of protein M from group A. 相似文献

Streptococcus (S.) suis plays an important role in pig breeding causing invasive diseases such as meningitis and polyarthritis. Herd problems with Streptococcus suis are common in many pig farms and are frequently characterised by disease outbreaks. In this context, it is often important to identify chains of infection, e.g. between a farrow-to-wean and a grower farm. In the following case report a possible chain of infection among the different farms of a farrow-to-finish system was investigated. In two grower units herd problems with S. suis were present; the mortality was higher than 5 %. It appeared likely, that the streptococci causing these problems were transmitted from a single farrow-to-wean unit to the two different grower farms. In the respective farms swabs were taken from different healthy animals and, in the case of the grower farms, also from the infected animals. Genotypic profiling of strains by a multiplex-PCR and AFLP typing method revealed that two different S. suis pathotypes were responsible for the herd problems. Both pathotypes could not be detected in the farrow-to-wean farm.Thus, a chain of infection originating from the farrow-to-wean farm appeared unlikely. The multiplex PCR was in this case sufficient to elucidate the described problem. 相似文献

The present study was designed to identify 15 beta-hemolytic streptococci isolated during a period between 1988 and 2005 from nine harbour seals and six grey seals from various origins of the North Sea. All isolates were identified as Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus. The bacteria were additionally investigated for relatedness by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR amplified 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region and gene szp and by macrorestriction analysis of chromosomal DNA of the strains by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The molecular analysis yielded identical or closely related patterns within the strains of the present study and with the S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus strains isolated from harbour seals of German North Sea which were investigated previously [Akineden, O., Hassan, A.A., Alber, J., El-Sayed, A., Estoepangestie, A.T.S., L?mmler, C., Weiss, R., Siebert, U., 2005. Phenotypic and genotypic properties of S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus isolated from harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) from the German North Sea during the phocine distemper outbreak in 2002. Vet. Microbiol. 110, 147-152]. This indicates that this single or closely related bacterial clone existed during both phocine distemper virus epidemics in 1988 and 2002 and that a direct transmission of the strains has occurred between two seal species and between seal populations of far distant regions possibly with grey seals as a vector. 相似文献

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) constitutes a potentially valuable diagnostic tool for rapid diagnosis of contagious diseases. In this study, we developed a novel LAMP method (seM-LAMP) to detect the seM gene of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (S. equi), the causative agent of strangles in equids. The seM-LAMP successfully amplified the target sequence of the seM gene at 63°C within 60 min. The sensitivity of the seM-LAMP was slightly lower than the 2nd reaction of the seM semi-nested PCR. To evaluate the species specificity of the seM-LAMP, we tested 100 S. equi and 189 non-S. equi strains. Significant amplification of the DNA originating from S. equi was observed within 60 min incubation, but no amplification of non-S. equi DNA occurred. The results were identical to those of seM semi-nested PCR. To investigate the clinical usefulness of the methods, the seM-LAMP and the seM semi-nested PCR were used to screen 590 nasal swabs obtained during an outbreak of strangles. Both methods showed that 79 and 511 swabs were S. equi positive and negative, respectively, and the results were identical to those of the culture examination. These results indicate that the seM-LAMP is potentially useful for the reliable routine diagnosis of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi infections. 相似文献

Hybridization studies using genomic DNA and a rDNA probe revealed genetic relatedness among reference strains of different Streptococcus suis serotypes. Although most serotype 22 isolates are biochemically atypical, the reference strain of capsular type 22 is genetically related to other S. suis serotypes, but not to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Using DNA digested with BamHI and BglII for ribotyping, some S. suis reference strains had common patterns, but this analysis mainly revealed variations in patterns of S. suis strains of different serotypes. 相似文献

Putative mannose-specific phosphotransferase system component IID represses expression of suilysin in serotype 2 Streptococcus suis 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
In this study, we generated a genomic mutant library from a North American strain of serotype 2 Streptococcus suis using the pGh9:ISS1 transposition vector. Suilysin is the hemolysin made by S. suis. A hyper-hemolytic mutant was identified by screening for hemolytic phenotype using media with human blood. The hyper-hemolytic phenotype was characterised by a quantitative hemolysis microplate method. The use of green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter also showed that suilysin gene expression was greater in the mutant. DNA sequence analysis of 3.8 kb surrounding the ISS1 insertion site revealed four open reading frames (ORFs) with three consecutive ORFs that belong to a putative mannose-specific phosphotransferase system (PTS). The S. suis gene homologous to mannose permease IID, manN, was interrupted by the transposon. A complementation test showed that manN repressed the expression of suilysin and the absence of manN was responsible for the hyper-hemolytic phenotype. However, both wild type and isogenic hyper-hemolytic mutant S. suis fermented mannose, glucose and lactose. Thus, despite its potential roles in carbohydrate transport, phosphorylation and metabolism, the manN homologue in the putative mannose-specific PTS regulates gene expression in S. suis. 相似文献

Isolation and identification of a bacteriophage capable of infecting Streptococcus suis type 2 strains 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) type 2 infection is considered to be a major problem worldwide in the swine industry. Studying phages of S. suis type 2 would be crucial for understanding the ecology and evolution of the Gram-positive bacteria. However, at the present, very little is known about them. An S. suis type 2 bacteriophage, named SMP, was isolated from nasal swabs of healthy Bama minipigs and was characterized at the microbiological and molecular levels. Phage SMP had an isometric head of 50 nm, a noncontractile tail of approximately 135 nm, and a linear double-stranded DNA genome. The host range of phage SMP was limited to 2 of 24 S. suis type 2 strains tested. The genome of phage SMP contained 36,216 bp with an average G+C content of 41.6%. 相似文献

Streptococcus suis is a major cause of meningitis, sepsis and arthritis in piglets and a zoonotic agent. Survival in the blood circulation system represents a major step in pathogenesis of S. suis infections. To get further insights into the mechanisms of S. suis survival in the host, we compared a highly virulent S. suis serotype 2 strain with its non-encapsulated and suilysin-deficient mutants in their abilities to resist phagocytosis and killing by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and mononuclear cells. PMNs displayed a higher capacity to take up encapsulated bacteria than mononuclear cells, whereas both cell types internalized efficiently non-encapsulated S. suis. Differentiation of extracellular and intracellular survival of the WT strain revealed that in PMNs the majority of the cell-associated streptococci were intracellular, whereas in mononuclear cells the majority remained attached to the cell surface. S. suis survived mainly extracellularly, since both cells killed intracellular bacteria to a similar extent. As a consequence of different resistance to phagocytosis, only the encapsulated S. suis strains survived co-cultivation with PMNs. Comparison of the WT strain with its encapsulated suilysin-deficient mutant revealed reduced survival of the mutant after co-cultivation with PMNs. Involvement of suilysin in inhibition of phagocytosis was further confirmed by the use of anti-suilysin antibodies and recombinant suilysin. Kinetic experiments with PMNs suggested that reduced survival of the mutant strain was mainly associated with an increased uptake, whilst both strains adhered similarly. Concluding, our results indicate that the capsule and the suilysin play important roles in S. suis survival in the host by interfering with phagocytic uptake. 相似文献

Streptococcus suis is an economically important, zoonotic pathogen causing death and disease in swine. The objectives of this study were to develop a signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) system for S. suis serotype 2 and to identify genes required for in vivo virulence. Identification of such candidate genes may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of S. suis and may provide substrate for the discovery of new vaccines. A novel STM approach was designed to allow for a higher throughput assay of mutants using the Luminex xMAP system. Additionally, to speed the identification process, a direct genomic DNA sequencing method was developed that overcomes the problems associated with the presence of repetitive insertion sequences. Approximately 2600 mutants were screened through both mouse and caesarian-derived, colostrum-deprived (CDCD) pig models. The disrupted ORF was identified for each potential attenuated mutant, and mutants with distinct and unique mutated ORFs were analyzed individually for attenuation in mouse and CDCD pig models. A variety of genes were identified, including previously known genes essential to the virulence of other organisms, genes involved in capsule biosynthesis, a regulator of suilysin expression, and several conserved or predicted genes. Of the 22 mutants identified as attenuated in either animal model, eight insertion mutants caused no mortality in both mouse and pig models. 相似文献

Streptococcus suis serotypes have traditionally been identified by morphology, biochemical profiling and serotyping. Analysis of the sequences of 16S rRNA and cpn60 genes of the 35 characterized serotypes of S. suis led to the observation that two serotypes 32 and 34, are significantly distinct from other S. suis serotypes and may represent a distinct species. Here we present DNA sequence data and biochemical profiles which indicate that S. suis serotypes 32 and 34, isolated from pigs, are clustered with Streptococcus orisratti, a Voges-Proskauer negative, alpha-haemolytic, aesculin-hydrolytic, Lancefield group A streptococcus isolated from the teeth of rats. 相似文献

Cloning and purification of the Streptococcus suis serotype 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and its involvement as an adhesin 总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is a swine pathogen responsible for diverse diseases and may be present in the tonsils of pigs which show no sign of illness. Because adhesion to host cells may be important in the carrier state, this study was undertaken to characterize a 39 kDa surface protein identified as a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), possibly implicated in the adhesion of the bacteria. The gene encoding for the GAPDH of S. suis was cloned and sequenced. The DNA sequence contained an open reading frame encoding for a 336 amino acid polypeptide exhibiting 95% sequence identity with the GAPDH from Streptococcus pyogenes and from other streptococci. Using the Qiaexpress expression plasmids, the gapdh gene was inducibly overexpressed in E. coli to produce GAPDH with a hexahistidyl N-terminus to permit its purification. The (His)6GAPDH protein was found to possess functional GAPDH enzymatic activity after the purification. An adherence assay with S. suis and porcine tracheal rings pre-incubated with (His)6GAPDH and non-incubated rings was showed a significant reduction in the adhesion of S. suis in the (His)6GAPDH pre-incubated rings compared to the non-incubated rings. The GAPDH protein of S. suis seems to be involved in the first steps of the bacterial adhesion to host cells. 相似文献

When young or adult mice were infected experimentally with isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 of known pathogenicity for pigs, the organisms produced disease, young mice being more susceptible than adults. An isolate of S suis type 2 less pathogenic for pigs also appeared less pathogenic in mice. The organism could be reisolated from infected mice for up to 42 days. Inoculum size was one factor influencing the likelihood of an individual mouse developing meningitis following intravenous inoculation. Transmission of the organism from inoculated to in-contact mice occurred in young mice after intravenous or oral administration. These studies indicate that the behaviour of S suis type 2 in mice resembles its behaviour in pigs. 相似文献
