Phage typing was performed on 86 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 25 strains of Staphylococcus intermedius from rooks and gulls with human, bovine, chicken and canine phages. Eighty per cent of the S aureus strains and 64 per cent of the S intermedius strains were typable. The S aureus biotype D strains of rook origin were specifically lysed at routine test dilution (RTD) by chicken phages from groups I or I + IV, by human phages belonging to groups I and M, and partly by canine phage 58. The other rook and gull S aureus strains did not show characteristic phage patterns. The S intermedius strains isolated from both species of birds could be typed only with canine phages and this correlated with their classification into biotypes. All the biotype 1 strains tested but only two of 12 biotype 2 strains were lysed with canine phages at RTD.  相似文献

Eschericia coli bacteriophages were isolated from the intestines of chickens. These phages had different lytic patterns, and were propagated in nutrient broth containing 0.4 gm calcium chloride/litre. The agar layer technique was used to determine the routine test dilution (RTD) and plaque morphology. The phages differed in their 1) morphology, 2) RTD values, and their ability to lyse E. coli strains from various animals. All phages isolated lysed human K12 E. coli strains, whereas only two phages lysed the chicken E. coli strain. Phages isolated lysed E. coli from chicken, bovine, ovine, equine, and human, but not from porcine, canine and other avian species.  相似文献

Four phages were isolated and used for typing Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus isolated from pigs with or without exudative epidermatitis (EE) in Japan. Sixty-four (85.3%) of the 75 isolates examined were typeable at either routine test dilution (RTD) or 100 X RTD. Two or more kinds of phage patterns were present in the isolates from each pig with EE. All isolates from healthy pigs showed a single-phage pattern. Fourteen (32.6%) of 43 isolates and 7 (87.5%) of 8 isolates from pigs with EE in Belgium and Czechoslovakia, respectively, were typeable with the 4 phages. None of 180 isolates of S aureus, 7 (6.4%) of 110 isolates of S intermedius, and 2 (2.3%) of 86 isolates of S epidermidis were typeable.  相似文献

Lysogenicity in chicken coagulase-positive staphylococci was tested by incubating the strains in the presence of mitomycin C. Of 88 strains tested, 84 (95.5%) were proved to be phage carriers and 81 were susceptible to any of the phages. The lysogenic strains were detected with almost equal frequency from both of typeable and untypeable strains by the international phages. Sixteen phages (CH phages) were isolated from chicken lysogenic strains, and their usefulness for the typing of chicken staphylococci was evaluated. Of 122 strains examined, 101 (82.8%) were found to be typeable with the CH phages at a routine test dilution (RTD). About 82% of strains untypeable by the phages of the international series were lysed by one or more of the CH phages. The phages seemed to be highly specific to chicken staphylococci, because they lysed only a few strains of animal origin other than chicken. Thus, the 16 phages newly established were found to have significant advantages in typing chicken strains.  相似文献

The phage typing and cultural characteristics of 574 strains of S. aureus of poultry origin in Australia were examined. With the avian phage set of Shimizu (1979) it was possible to type 74.2% of strains. A number of significant variations in the phage typing patterns of Australian strains compared to those reported from Japan and Europe were observed. A lower proportion of Australian strains were of avian phage group I and a higher proportion of group III. A high proportion of strains were of mixed lytic groups. No locally isolated phages were able to increase significantly the percentage of typeable strains, although four local phages appeared to be of greater value for phage typing poultry strains of S. aureus than some other phages of the avian phage set. The international (human) phage set was of limited value in typing Australian strains of poultry origin although four strains were identified which were indistinguishable from strains of human origin. Using cultural characteristics of the strains in conjunction with phage typing, the Australian strains of S. aureus were assigned to one of three major groups and nine subgroups. A list of typing phages considered to be valuable for use on Australian poultry strains of S. aureus is given.  相似文献

Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from lesions of horses.   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Seventy-six Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from various lesions of horses were characterized. All of the 76 strains were identified as biotypes B (38.2%) and C (61.8%). Of 55 strains tested, 42 (76.4%) were differentiated into 7 coagulase types. Coagulase types V and VII were predominant in the metritis strains. Coagulase type II was found most frequently in the strains from phlegmon, dermatitis, sinusitis, empyema sinus, and nasal catarrh. Forty-two (55.3%) of the 76 strains were differentiated into 24 phage patterns. Twenty (58.8%) of 34 typable strains from metritis were lysed by the human group I phage 52, and group II phages 3A, 3C, 55 and 71. Forty-five (59.2%) of the 76 strains were resistant to 1 or more of 6 antibiotics. Strains resistant to penicillin G, irrespective of source, were most frequent (95.6%). Forty (93.0%) of 43 strains resistant to penicillin G alone or in combination with other antibiotics produced beta-lactamase. Only 8 (10.5%) of the 76 strains produced enterotoxins A (n = 2), B (n = 1) or C (n = 5), and they all were isolated from metritis. Only 1 strain isolated from phlegmon and 2 from metritis produced exfoliative toxin (ET) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), respectively. The latter 2 strains also produced enterotoxin C. The results of the present study showed the first evidence of the presence of both ET- and TSST-1-producing S. aureus isolated from horses.  相似文献

Staphylococci were found in the tonsils of 121 (75.2%) of 161 cattle. There were 15 different species, 10 belonging to novobiocin-sensitive species. The most predominant species was S. simulans (79.3% of the 121 carriers), followed by S. aureus (20.7%), S. chromogenes (10.7%) and S. epidermidis (8.3%). The other 11 species were present in 0.8 to 5.8%. Twenty-six unidentifiable isolates were isolated from 26 (21.5%) carriers. Sixty-two (51.2%) of the 121 carriers yielded two to five Staphylococcus species together while only one species could be found in each of the other 59 (48.8%). Combinations of S. simulans and other species were most frequently encountered in 50 (41.3%) of the 121 carriers. Twenty-four (96.0%) out of 25 S. aureus isolates, 3 (42.9%) of 7 S. hyicus isolates and 45 (25.4%) of 177 coagulase-negative staphylococci (13 species and unidentifiable isolates) isolates were phage typable. Most of S. aureus isolates were lysed by bovine phages 119 (n = 16) or 116 (n = 5). Thirty-three (25.4%) of 45 coagulase-negative staphylococci typable isolates with Pulverer's phage set showed the phage pattern ph5/ph9/ph10/ph12/ph13/U4/U14/U16/++ +U20/U46. The tonsils of cattle thus appear to be a suitable environment for Staphylococcus species, particularly novobiocin-sensitive species.  相似文献

Both the human and the bovine international sets of phages were used for typing of 372 bovine Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) strains, whereas the bovine set alone was used for typing of a further 1183 strains. In addition, 338 of the strains were tested for antibiotic sensitivity. Out of 372 Sa strains 85.5% could be typed with the human and 89.8% with the bovine phage set. Of all the 1555 Sa strains used 92.4% were lysed by the bovine phage set. Several phage types can be present in one and the same herd and some of them can predominate. Resistance to most of the tested antibiotics was very low. The incidence of resistance to penicillin and ampicillin was 10.0% and 4.4% respectively.  相似文献

Bovine mastitis causes severe economic losses to dairy farmers. Staphylococcus aureus, is one of the most important pathogen implicated in etiology of clinical and subclinical mastitis in bovines. In view of increasing antimicrobial resistance alternatives to antibiotic therapy are much needed. The present decade has witnessed a renewed interest in phage based therapeutics and diagnostics. The present study, describes isolation and characterization of two lytic phages SAJK-IND and MSP against Staphylococcus aureus having a potential to be used in therapy against mastitis. SAJK-IND and MSP phages belonged to Myoviridae and Podoviridae families, respectively. TEM imaging of the two phages revealed an iscosahedral head. MSP phage has a short non contractile tail. SAJK-IND and MSP have a burst size of 44?±?3 and 25?±?5 PFU/ infected cell, respectively. SAJK-IND and MSP phages revealed ? 12 and ?16 proteins, respectively on SDS-PAGE analysis. The lytic activity of the phages was specific for Staphylococcus aureus. SAJK-IND revealed 100% lytic activity against several strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from mastitis milk samples whereas, MSP had only 40% lytic activity. SAJK-IND phage genome was sequenced, assembled and deposited in Genbank under accession no MG010123.  相似文献

An exfoliative toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus is the causative agent of staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome (SSSS) in young children. Recently, we reported that only few isolates of S. aureus from bovine mastitis contained the eta gene encoding exfoliative toxin A (ETA) and produced ETA in vitro. In this study, we isolated temperate phages from two ETA-positive bovine isolates of S. aureus by treatment with mitomycin C. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of the phage genomes suggested that the temperate phages carried the structural gene for ETA. Moreover, the nucleotide sequence analysis of the PCR products revealed that the eta gene was located very close to an amidase gene on the phage genomes. The nucleotide sequence for the amidase gene of the bovine phage (bovine phi ETA) differed at nine positions from that of the amidase gene of phi ETA from a human isolate reported by Yamaguchi et al. [Mol. Microbiol. 38 (2000) 694], suggesting that eta-converting phages are heterogeneous. Bovine phi ETA had a head with a hexagonal outline and a non-contractile and flexible tail. Bovine phi ETA was able to lysogenize ETA-negative bovine isolates of S. aureus, and the lysogenized S. aureus isolates had the ability to produce ETA. These results suggest the possibility of horizontal transmission of the eta gene by temperate bacteriophages among bovine isolates of S. aureus.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the lytic activity of three bacteriophages on Yersinia enterocolitica strains isolated from humans and pigs. The Y. enterocolitica strains tested belonged to 0:3, 0:9 and 0:2 serogroups. The ZD5 phage was obtained from a water sample, but remaining phages were obtained from the lysogenic Y. frederiksenii 7291 and Y. enterocolitica 8684 strains. All the Y. enterocolitica strains tested which belonged to 0:9 serogroup did not show any susceptibility to the bacteriophages used. The bacteriophages tested showed different lytic activity on the Y. enterocolitica 0:3 strains investigated. The phage susceptibility of Y. enterocolitica 0:3 strains revealed 9 different phage patterns. ZD5 phage showed the highest lytic activity, because it produced confluent lysis of the most Y. enterocolitica 0:3 strains tested. The Y. enterocolitica 0:2 strains isolated from pigs showed the similar phage susceptibility. The Y. kristensenii and Y. pseudotuberculosis strains tested were not sensitive to the bacteriophages used.  相似文献

120 Staphylococcus aureus strains from different and sporadic pathological process in swines have been investigated on biochemical properties and phage patterns. 98 strains (82%) exhibit coagulation of human plasma, no coagulation of bovine plasma, crystal-violet-type C, hemolysin-type beta, no formation of fibrinolysine and sensitivity for phages of group I, III and M. Only in few strains we observed reactions with phages of group II. 26 from 66 strains were resistant to antibiotics, and among them 24 showed resistance to oxytetracacline.  相似文献

1. Eighty per cent of poultry strains of Staphylococcus aureus tested from French, Belgian, English, West German, Japanese and Argentinian sources were typable using a set of typing phages isolated in this laboratory. Strains from Bulgaria, however, with few exceptions were not typable with this phage set. 2. Strains isolated from lesions generally resembled those from apparently healthy poultry. 3. The existence of two distinct Staph. aureus biotypes on poultry was confirmed by isolates from six of the countries; one of these biotypes closely resembled Staph. aureus variety gallinae as described by Witte et al. (1977).  相似文献

A 6-month longitudinal study was conducted on 30 dairy cows in early lactation and their human handlers on six farms across Trinidad. Weekly samples of bulk milk, composite milk and anterior nares and hand swabs from human handlers were collected and cultured for Staphylococcus aureus on Baird-Parker agar (BPA). The susceptibility of S. aureus strains to bacteriophages and the relatedness of strains isolated over the study period were determined. Sixty-three (51.2%) of 123 strains of S. aureus from bulk milk were typable compared with 111 (57.3%) of 194 and 82 (61.7%) of 133 strains isolated from composite milk and human handlers, respectively. The differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05; chi 2). Bovine phage 42D lysed 3.3% (4 of 123), 16.5% (32 of 194) and 12.0% (16 of 133) of S. aureus strains isolated from bulk milk, composite milk and human handlers, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.001; chi 2). Amongst bulk milk isolates of S. aureus, 35 (31.8%) of 110 exhibited relatedness in 11 groups based on their phage patterns and groups. The mean maximum interval between the first and last detection of related S. aureus strains in a group was 11.5 +/- 7.3 weeks. Amongst composite milk strains of S. aureus, 23 (46.0%) of 50, 25 (62.5%) of 40 and 22 (53.7%) of 41 exhibited relatedness on farms IB 2, IB 27 and IC 23, respectively, but the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05; chi 2). On farm IB 2, five groups of related strains of S. aureus were detected with a mean maximum interval of detection of 18.2 +/- 8.5 weeks compared to farm IB 27 where five groups of related strains were also observed but with an interval of 13.8 +/- 8.2 weeks. On farm IC 23, a total of seven groups of related S. aureus strains were detected with a mean interval of 8.0 +/- 5.5 weeks. For human strains of S. aureus from farm IB 2, nine (56.3%) of 16 strains isolated from anterior nares exhibited relatedness in three groups with a mean maximum interval of 13.3 +/- 4.7 weeks compared to four (25.0%) of 16 hand swab isolates which exhibited relatedness in two groups with mean interval of detection of 11.0 +/- 1.4 weeks. The differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05; chi 2). On farm IB 27, for anterior nares isolates, eight (72.7%) of 11 exhibited relatedness in two groups with a mean maximum interval of detection of 20.5 +/- 2.1 weeks compared to hand swab isolates, with six (50.0%) of 12 showing relatedness in two groups and a mean interval of 10.5 +/- 2.1 weeks. It was concluded that dairy cows and their human handlers carried particular strains of S. aureus at various sites for extended periods, which served as continuous sources of contamination of milk and may play a significant role in the occurrence of subclinical mastitis, with an obvious economic impact.  相似文献

A study of the characterization of the phenotypic patterns of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis in Israeli dairy herds and their correlation with the severity of the disease was undertaken. A total of 400 chronically S. aureus-infected Israeli-Holstein cows, from 15 dairy herds were included in this study. Based on the results of the biochemical reactions, of the anti-biogram and phage typing, one major type of S. aureus was determined in each herd, its prevalence being between 54 and 100% of the total isolates from that same herd. The majority of the isolates were found to be non-haemolytic (62.7%). The most common phage type was 3/A,3/C,55,71, which was predominant in five herds. In two herds none of the isolates (24) were typable by this set of phages. All isolates were susceptible to methicillin, erythromycin, cephalotin, norfloxacin, trimethoprin-sulphamethoxazole and novobiocin. Most isolates were resistant to penicillin (96.6%) and 52% to oxytetracyclin. Differences in protein patterns between 50 and 36 kDa were found by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. No correlation between any combination of the phenotypic characteristics was found when correlation was done with milk yield and somatic cell count, corresponding to the 6 months before sampling. Otherwise, a positive correlation was found between type of haemolysis and the N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAGase) values. In milk from quarters infected with the-non-haemolytic strains, the level of NAGase was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that from quarters infected with the haemolytic strains (69.7 and 105.9, respectively). However, the level of NAGase activity in the milk of the quarters infected with the non-haemolytic strains was significantly higher (P < 0.05) when compared to the milk of quarters infected with coagulase-negative staphylococci (43.5).  相似文献

A new phage set was proposed for the typing of coagulase-positive staphylococci from chickens. The set was composed of 16 phages isolated from lysogenic staphylococci from chickens and 3 adapted phages derived from the international phage set. These phages were classified into 4 groups (I, II, III and IV) according to their host ranges. The 19 phages were used for typing 569 coagulase-positive staphylococci; 94.2% of the isolates were lysed by 1 or more phages, 88.0% at a routine test dilution, and 6.25% only at a routine test dilution X 100. The reacting ability of the phages seemed to be limited to staphylococci from chickens. It was proved that the phages were more accurate than the international phage set in typing staphylococci isolated from chicken in Japan.  相似文献

The virulence towards mice of Staphylococcus aureus strains from bovine mastitis was enhanced upon growth in milk whey compared to homologous organisms grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB). In the mouse mastitis model, S. aureus grown in milk whey caused more severe lesions than homologous strains grown in TSB. Staphylococcus aureus strain F1440 grown in milk whey induced 75% mortality and local necrotic reaction in subcutaneously inoculated mice, whereas the homologous strain grown in TSB caused only 5% mortality and slight skin reaction. Extracellular capsule on milk whey-grown, S. aureus could not be demonstrated. However, diffuse type colony morphology could be correlated with an increased virulence of S. aureus towards mice.  相似文献

Objective  The purpose of this study was to describe the species distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Staphylococci isolated from naturally occurring canine ocular diseases.
Samples and Procedures  Samples obtained from 68 dogs with signs of external eye disease were processed for isolation of bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus sp. Isolates were identified by biochemical reactions and tested for susceptibility to 11 antimicrobials of six classes.
Results  Forty (58.8%) samples yielded Staphylococcus sp. in pure culture. Coagulase-positive Staphylococci were most common and Staphylococcus intermedius was the most frequent (45%) species, followed by S . aureus (22.5%) and the coagulase-negative species S. epidermidis (20%), and S . simulans (12.5%). Resistance to at least one drug was observed in 92.5% of the isolates, and multidrug resistance was a common finding (72.5%). The most effective drugs against Staphylococcus strains isolated from extra-ocular canine ocular diseases were ceftiofur and cefalexin.
Conclusion  This study highlights the presence of Staphylococcus sp. genus in naturally occurring extra-ocular canine ocular disease and the emergence of resistant strains to common antimicrobial drugs. It also emphasizes the need for bacterial culture with species identification and susceptibility testing in order to choose the appropriate antimicrobial therapy.  相似文献
