Capsules from a range of bacterial species have been shown to be major virulence determinants and capsule has been implicated in virulence in Pasteurella multocida. Moreover, capsular serogroup appears to be related to disease predilection. Haemorrhagic septicaemia strains belong to serogroup B and E, fowl cholera strains to serogroup A and atrophic rhinitis strains to serogroup D. The entire capsule biosynthetic locus of P. multocida A:1 has been cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined (Chung et al., 1998. FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 166, 289-296); however, nothing is known of the P. multocida B:2 capsule locus. In this work we have determined the nucleotide sequence and genetic organisation of the P. multocida M1404 (B:2) capsule locus. By analogy with the cap loci of other bacteria, the nucleotide sequence can be divided into three functional regions. Regions 1 and 3 comprise six genes involved in transport of the polysaccharide capsule to the cell surface. The deduced products of these genes show high similarity to proteins involved in capsule export in other bacteria. Region 2 comprises nine genes which are likely involved in biosynthesis of the polysaccharide capsule. The deduced products of three of these genes (bcbA, bcbB and bcbC) show significant similarity to proteins known to be involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis while the other six show no similarity to known proteins. However, their organisation indicates they are co-transcribed with bcbA, bcbB, bcbC and the Region 1 capsule export genes, suggesting strongly that they are also involved in capsule biosynthesis.  相似文献

Chromosomal DNA from Haemophilus paragallinarum was examined by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) using the enzymes BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, or SmaI. The enzyme SmaI had no apparent effect upon the DNA from eight representative H. paragallinarum isolates. The remaining enzymes cut the H. paragallinarum DNA to varying degrees, with the most useful patterns for distinguishing isolates being given by HindIII. The REA patterns given by HindIII were stable under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The use of the enzyme HindIII showed that eight Australian isolates of H. paragallinarum were genetically similar. In contrast, 14 isolates of H. paragallinarum from outside Australia were markedly different from each other and the Australian isolates. A plasmid of approximately 6 kilobase pairs in size was found in one isolate of H. paragallinarum.  相似文献

The aims of this study were the identification, cloning, and expression of a genetic region encoding an epitope that induces hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody against Avibacterium paragallinarum serovar A and an evaluation of the recombinant protein for immunogenicity in chickens. Although two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with HI activity, designated S24-951 and S7-1716-5C, were generated in this study, no reactive proteins with both MAbs were identified by Western blot analysis. A gene fragment of 5157 bp, designated hpa5. 1, was cloned from genomic DNA, and a recombinant protein expressed by hpa5.1, designated HPA5.1, reacted with both MAbs on dot-blot analysis. HPA5.1 showed no hemagglutinating activity, but significantly absorbed HI antibodies in the chicken immune serum. Analysis using a series of deletion mutants prepared from hpa5.1 indicated that a 4.8 kbp gene in hpa5.1 is essential for the expression epitope recognized by MAb S24-951. In addition, chickens immunized once with HPA5.1 showed a high protection rate with sufficient HI antibody titers against challenge exposure with a virulent strain of A. paragallinarum serovar A strain 221. These results show that hpa5. I1 is responsible for the expression of an epitope that induces HI antibody, and HPA5.1 might be a candidate for the development of a new vaccine against avian infectious coryza caused by A. paragallinarum serovar A.  相似文献

An oil-based bacterin, containing strains 083 and 0222 of Haemophilus paragallinarum, is commonly used in South Africa to vaccinate laying flocks against infectious coryza. Two strains of H. paragallinarum, designated M85 and SB86, were isolated from infected but vaccinated commercial laying flocks in two incidental outbreaks of coryza in 1985 and 1986. A panel of five monoclonal antibodies was established which clearly distinguished the vaccine strains from the field isolates. One of these reacted with only vaccine strains A and B, another reacted with only field strains M85 and SB86, and the remaining three cross-reacted to various degrees with all four strains or isolates. Immunoassays were performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using whole bacteria as solid-phase antigen. These monoclonal antibodies may aid in serotyping new field isolates of H. paragallinarum and in improved standardization of vaccine strains.  相似文献

A total of 60 isolates of Haemophilus spp. from chickens, including four reference strains of H. paragallinarum and one of H. avium, were examined for their physiological and biochemical properties. The isolates could be placed into two groups. One group was identified as H. paragallinarum and consisted of 43 isolates including the four reference strains of H. paragallinarum. The other group was identified as H. avium and consisted of 17 isolates including the reference strain of H. avium. H. avium can be differentiated from H. paragallinarum by its possession of the enzymes catalase and alpha-glucosidase, capacity to grow in air, production of acid from galactose, and by the fact that its growth is not improved by the addition of chicken serum. In addition, the majority of H. avium isolates, unlike H. paragallinarum, possess a yellow pigment and produce acid from trehalose.  相似文献

In the course of post-mortem bacteriological examinations, several previously unreported bacterial strains were isolated from budgerigars, pigeons, kestrels, and a goose. They have been separated into three distinct collectives according to their cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. Since they require V factors, they were tentatively assigned to the genus Haemophilus Winslow et al. 1917. This preliminary classification was checked by determination of guanine + cytosine contents and genome sizes and by DNA:DNA hybridization tests among reference strains of the three new avian taxa and recognized species of the family Pasteurellaceae Pohl 1981. With the same methods, the genetic relationships of Haemophilus paragallinarum Biberstein and White 1969 within the family were determined. It could be shown that the three avian Haemophilus-like taxa have to be regarded as new species within the family Pasteurellaceae not affiliated with the recognized genera Actinobacillus, Haemophilus and Pasteurella. H. paragallinarum must be excluded from the genus Haemophilus because of its closer relationship to the actinobacilli. All strains investigated can be differentiated from each other and from recognized species of Pasteurellaceae using an appropriate set of biochemical tests.  相似文献

Strains of Bisgaard taxon 31, isolated from chickens in South Africa suffering from a respiratory disease with clinical symptoms and gross lesions similar to infectious coryza, showed great phenotypical similarities with Haemophilus paragallinarum infection except for NAD requirement, beta-galactosidase activity and maltose fermentation. Deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization confirmed a high level of genetic relatedness (DNA binding value, 89%) with Haemophilus paragallinarum. Guanine + cytosine content and genome size data also support the classification of taxon 31 strains within the species Haemophilus paragallinarum.  相似文献

Haemophilus paragallinarum, the causative agent of infectious coryza in poultry, is an extremely fastidious organism requiring specific growth conditions for isolation. For complete control of the disease in regions where more that one of the serovars of the different serogroups occurs, it is essential that the bacterium causing the problem be isolated and serotyped. This work describes the modification and testing of transport media, which will ensure the survival of the causative agents in suspected infectious coryza cases for transport to a laboratory where the bacterium can be isolated and serotyped. The various transport media used are based on commercially available Amies Transport Medium supplemented with the different supplements used for the growth of H. paragallinarum. It was established that the bacterium remains viable for up to 18 days in Amies Transport Medium containing all the supplements when stored at 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C. At room temperature or 25 degrees C, there was no difference in the survival of H. paragallinarum in commercial Amies Transport Medium (without charcoal) and Amies Transport Medium with supplements.  相似文献

The genomic DNA of Haemophilus paragallinarum (Hpg) serotype A strain 221 was cloned into vector plasmid pBR322. The recombinant plasmids were introduced into Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain C600. Subsequently, a total of 277 transformants were obtained. One, designated strain no. 6, expressed hemagglutination activity against chicken erythrocytes. Strain no. 6 contained the recombinant plasmid pNV102, and DNA of about 2.57 kb was inserted into pNV102. When strain no. 6 was cured of pNV102, the strain lost hemagglutination activity. When the cured strain was retransformed with pNV102, hemagglutination activity was restored. E. coli strain no. 6 reacted with monoclonal antibody specific to the hemagglutinin of Hpg serotype A in a dot-blotting analysis. Chickens immunized with the inactivated strain no. 6 produced the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody, and chickens possessing the HI antibody showed protection against challenge exposure by Hpg strain 221.  相似文献

To investigate the mechanisms of iron acquisition in avian haemophili, strains of Haemophilus paragallinarum and H. avium were tested for siderophore production and utilization of transferrin iron for growth. No evidence of siderophore production was detected in either of these species using a functional screening assay. H. paragallinarum, but not strains of H. avium, was able to acquire iron from 30% saturated chicken and turkey transferrins but not from human, porcine, or bovine transferrins. In response to iron limitation, H. paragallinarum expressed four iron-regulated outer-membrane proteins of 53, 62, 66, and 94 kilodaltons (kDa). Only the 53- and 94-kDa proteins were detected in the H. avium strains. Using affinity methods, the 94- and 53-kDa proteins were isolated specifically by chicken or turkey transferrin, indicating that they may be equivalent to transferrin binding proteins (TBP1 and TBP2, respectively) isolated from other bacterial species. The isolation of the 62- and 66-kDa proteins in association with TBP1 and TBP2 under less stringent washing conditions only in H. paragallinarum implicates these proteins in the iron acquisition process.  相似文献

Pathogenic isolates of Moraxella bovis express a calcium-dependent transmembrane pore forming cytotoxin that is an RTX toxin encoded by mbxA. The DNA flanking mbxA was cloned and sequenced to determine if M. bovis contained a classical RTX operon. Open reading frames (ORFs) with deduced amino acid sequence homology to putative activation (RTX C) and transport (RTX B and D) proteins were identified and have been designated MbxC, MbxB, and MbxD, respectively. Thus, hemolytic M. bovis contains a typical RTX operon comprised of four genes arranged (5'-3') mbxCABD. In addition, the deduced amino acid sequences of DNA flanking mbxCABD revealed ORFs with amino acid sequence similarity to transposases (5'). At the 3' end of the mbx gene cluster, an ORF with homology to bacterial tolC genes was identified. Thus, as with the cya RTX operon of Bordetella pertussis, M. bovis appears to have a secretion accessory protein linked to RTX genes. Analysis of genomic DNA isolated from 5 nonhemolytic M. bovis strains by PCR and Southern blotting revealed the absence of mbxCABD. These strains did, however, amplify with primers specific for the 5' region flanking mbxC. M. bovis harbors a classical RTX operon that is absent in nonhemolytic strains.  相似文献

Streptococcus equi causes equine strangles, a purulent lymphadenopathy of the head and neck. An avirulent, non-encapsulated strain (Pinnacle) has been used widely in North America as an intranasal vaccine. The aim of the study was to create a specific mutation of the hyaluronate synthase (hasA) gene in Pinnacle to permanently abolish the production of capsule and provide an easily recognisable genetic marker. An internal fragment of hasA was generated by PCR and cloned into pTW100 (Microscience, UK). An encapsulated revertant of Pinnacle was then transformed with the recombinant plasmid by electroporation and cultured under conditions to promote homologous recombination. Among 90 spectinomycin resistant transformants observed, one non-mucoid (non-encapsulated) spectinomycin resistant colony was detected. The presence of plasmid sequence within the hasA gene was confirmed by the PCR. After six passages in antibiotic-free medium, four non-mucoid spectinomycin sensitive colonies were found. Sequence analysis of one of these clones, designated Pinnacle HasNeg, revealed loss of the 3' end of the hasA and the 5' end of the hasB genes. This deletion mutant should serve as a useful candidate to replace Pinnacle since it cannot revert to a mucoid phenotype and can be distinguished genetically from wild type strains.  相似文献
