Identification to species level was attempted on a collection of 954 cultures of catalase-positive, clumping-factor- and beta-haemolysin-negative Gram-positive cocci isolated from teats and milk of cows. Eighty-seven per cent of the strains were identified as Staphylococcus xylosus, S epidermidis, S sciuri, S haemolyticus, S hyicus subsp hyicus and chromogenes, S simulans and S cohnii. Nine per cent of the collection belonged to another group which could not be identified with any of the known Staphylococcus species. Many of the strains of this group and also part of the S epidermidis and S hyicus subsp chromogenes strains examined showed various degrees of growth enhancement on certain media when fatty substances were added. Only nine strains were classified as Micrococcus. A scheme for the identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci from cows' milk is proposed.  相似文献

Streptococcus uberis, a well-known bacterial pathogen associated with bovine mastitis, appears to be biochemically and serologically almost indistinguishable from the closely related species Streptococcus parauberis. In the present study, species-specific oligonucleotide primers were designed using internal parts of the genes sodA, encoding superoxide dismutase A, and cpn60 encoding chaperonin 60 of S. uberis and S. parauberis, respectively. The two oligonucleotide primer pairs allowed a rapid and reliable PCR-mediated identification and differentiation of both species. These studies, performed with S. uberis and S. parauberis reference cultures and clinical isolates from routine diagnostics, revealed that the occurrence of S. parauberis as causative agent of bovine mastitis appears to be rare. In addition the sodA and cpn60 sequence data confirmed that both species could taxonomically be classified to the pyogenic group of genus Streptococcus.  相似文献

Surface hydrophobicity of 90 Staphylococcus intermedius and 55 S hyicus isolates was evaluated using the hexadecane adherence assay and the ammonium sulphate salt aggregation test. A strongly positive hydrocarbon adherence in the hexadecane adherence assay was demonstrated in 11 per cent of the S intermedius isolates and 7 per cent of the S hyicus isolates. Bacterial aggregation in 1.6 M, or less, ammonium sulphate was observed in 28 per cent of the S intermedius isolates and 37 per cent of the S hyicus isolates. There was no statistical correlation between the two assays. The adherence of both bacterial species to hexadecane was eliminated when the cells were first treated with pronase and trypsin, while it was mildly enhanced by prior heat treatment (60 degrees C and 95 degrees C for up to three hours). In contrast, aggregation of S intermedius in ammonium sulphate was not influenced by trypsin pretreatment, and aggregation of both bacterial species was diminished, or eliminated, with pronase or prior 95 degrees C heat treatment. Surface hydrophobicity, as measured in both assays, appeared to have no relationship with growth patterns in serum soft agar or production of slime. Similarly, the presence or absence of substantial surface receptor activity to fibrinogen, fibronectin or IgG did not appear to be related to surface hydrophobicity.  相似文献

Species-specific PCR tests, based on the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase A encoding gene (sodA) and the chaperonin 60 encoding gene (cpn60), were developed for the identification of Streptococcus phocae, a bacterial pathogen of seals. The selection of both oligonucleotide primer pairs was performed after amplification and sequencing of internal parts of both genes using universal oligonucleotide primers. The sequence studies of both genes additionally confirmed that S. phocae could taxonomically be classified to the pyogenic group of the genus Streptococcus.  相似文献

A total of 414 coagulase-positive staphylococcal strains obtained at the mastitis laboratory, National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala, Sweden, were studied. One hundred and seventy seven strains were used for a frequency study. Ninety-seven per cent were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, 2% as Staphylococcus intermedius and 1% as Staphylococcus hyicus. Two hundred and thirty seven strains with atypical hemolysis reactions on bovine blood agar were randomly selected, with the aim to increase the number of S. intermedius and S. hyicus strains available for testing. Eight different characteristics, including physiological, enzymatical and biochemical properties, were used to identify the coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species. The results of this study suggest that the following tests should be included for correct identification of the 3 different species of coagulase-positive staphylococci: P agar supplemented with acriflavin, beta-galactosidase and hemolytic reaction on chocolate agar. These 3 tests are simple and quick to perform and enable accurate for easy differentiation of the 3 coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species.  相似文献

Streptococcus uberis, a well‐known bacterial pathogen associated with bovine mastitis, appears to be biochemically and serologically almost indistinguishable from the closely related species Streptococcus parauberis. In the present study, species‐specific oligonucleotide primers were designed using internal parts of the genes sodA, encoding superoxide dismutase A, and cpn60 encoding chaperonin 60 of S. uberis and S. parauberis, respectively. The two oligonucleotide primer pairs allowed a rapid and reliable PCR‐mediated identification and differentiation of both species.

Staphylococcus hyicus, the cause of porcine exudative epidermitis, could be clearly differentiated from S. aureus, S. epidermidis and from other staphylococcal species. This was based on cultural, biochemical and serological properties. A positive coagulase reaction in porcine plasma, the detection of protein A like IgG Fc-receptors and the specific reaction of the cell wall teichoic acid allowed further characterization of this species. S. hyicus additionally produced enzymes with bacteriolytic properties.  相似文献

为分析猪葡萄球菌脱落毒素EXHC和SHETA基因结构并预测其所编码蛋白的结构和功能,本试验根据GenBank已报道的猪葡萄球菌脱落毒素EXHC和SHETA基因序列分别设计了1对特异性引物,从猪葡萄球菌GDZC株中扩增获得EXHC和SHETA基因片段,大小分别为1007和971 bp。序列分析结果表明,EXHC基因与猪葡萄球菌丹麦分离株(GenBank登录号:AF515455)及猪源松鼠葡萄球菌河北分离株(GenBank登录号:JF755400)的核苷酸序列、氨基酸序列同源性均为100.0%,而与其他葡萄球菌脱落毒素基因的核苷酸、氨基酸序列同源性分别为3.3%~53.9%和7.9%~44.2%。SHETA基因与日本分离株(GenBank登录号:AB036768)的核苷酸序列同源性为96.2%,氨基酸序列同源性为98.4%,在保守区共有31个碱基发生突变。利用DNAStar软件对EXHC和SHETA蛋白结构进行分析,结果显示EXHC基因编码的蛋白为亲水性蛋白,SHETA基因编码蛋白为疏水性蛋白,抗原性较差。本研究从猪葡萄球菌GDZC株中成功扩增获得EXHC和SHETA基因片段并对其编码的蛋白结构进行了预测,证实了中国分离的猪葡萄球菌同时携带有EXHC和SHETA 2种毒素基因,为进一步研究猪葡萄球菌的致病机理及毒素之间的相互作用提供了理论依据。  相似文献

The prevention of exudative epidermitis could be confirmed in experimental investigations with gnotobiotic piglets when the skin first was colonized with avirulent strains of Staphylococcus (Staph.) hyicus and subsequently exposed to virulent strains of Staph. hyicus. However, locally restricted cutaneous lesions in the area of application corresponding to exudative epidermitis were seen in five of nine piglets. Using the strain Staph. sciuri the spread of virulent Staph. hyicus could not be suppressed. Such infected two piglets developed generalized exudative epidermitis. In another experiment with four piglets it could be shown, that the relative protective mechanism correlating to bacterial interference on the one hand can be influenced by the virulence of causative organisms. On the other hand it even can be abolished when skin lesions are involved. For that reason probably the utilization of bacterial interference in prevention of exudative epidermitis under field conditions is considerably limited.  相似文献

Prevalence of staphylococcal species in four dairy herds   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The prevalence of staphylococcal species isolated from bovine mammary glands was determined in four dairy herds. Staphylococcus aureus and S hyicus were the predominant organisms isolated from cows in a herd with a bulk milk somatic cell count (SCC) greater than 900 X 10(3). One herd with a bulk milk SCC of 565 X 10(3) had a high incidence of S aureus while the predominant coagulase-negative species were S epidermidis and S hyicus. S hyicus predominated in two herds with bulk milk SCC less than 200 X 10(3); prevalence of S aureus was low. The impact of herd management practices such as post-milking teat antisepsis on distribution of staphylococcal species is discussed.  相似文献

The STAPH-Ident and STAPH-Trac systems (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) were compared to conventional methods for identification of staphylococci isolated from bovine udders. The STAPH-Ident system identified 80.5% of isolates correctly. An additional 7.6% of Staphylococcus hyicus strains were delineated from S. epidermidis by characterizing acetoin and pigment production. Final accuracy of the STAPH-Ident system was 88.1%. The STAPH-Trac system identified 66.1% of isolates. Negative phosphatase tests for 42.3% of S. hyicus strains resulted in misidentification as S. simulans. Consequently, only 45.5% of S. hyicus isolates were identified correctly by the STAPH-Trac system. Minor modification of each system would permit accurate, rapid identification of staphylococci isolated from bovine udders.  相似文献

125-I-IgG binding activities were observed with 15 (17%) of 90 S. intermedius isolates from dogs and 39 (95%) of 41 S. hyicus isolates from pigs. Binding activities were not detected with S. hyicus isolates from cows. The IgG binding proteins of 2 S. intermedius, 2 S. hyicus, and protein A from S. aureus Cowan I were isolated from their cell surfaces. The proteins precipitated with IgG preparations from human, rabbit, pig, dog and horse, but not with IgG from cow, mouse and chicken. This indicated that these IgG binding proteins could be classified as type I receptors. In addition, the isolated proteins from all 3 staphylococcal species precipitated with polyclonal chicken anti-protein A antiserum. SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and gel isoelectric focussing of the proteins revealed numerous bands in the 42,000 D range and acid isoelectric points. The isoelectric point of the isolated proteins from both S. intermedius cultures was slightly more acidic than those from S. hyicus and S. aureus. The present results indicate a close functional and antigenic similarity, if not identity, between IgG binding proteins of S. intermedius and S. hyicus, and protein A of S. aureus.  相似文献

Three rapid agglutination assays for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus Monostaph (Bionor A/S, Skien, Norway), Staphyslide-Test (BioMerieux, Lyon, France) and Staph-Rapid-Test (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), were compared. A total of 104 Gram-positive, catalase positive cocci were tested: Nineteen Staphylococcus reference strains comprising 15 spp. (4 strains were coagulase positive), and 7 Micrococcus reference strains comprising 4 spp.; 22 food isolates comprising 13 S. aureus, 8 coagulase positive Staphylococcus spp., and 1 Micrococcus sp.; 56 animal isolates comprising 11 S. aureus, 9 S. hyicus subsp. hyicus, 2 S. intermedius, 15 coagulase positive and 19 coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. Totally 54 strains were coagulase positive. Considering agglutination of a coagulase positive strain as a correct identification, Monostaph, Staph-Rapid-Test, and Staphyslide-Test correctly identified 52 (96.3%), 47 (87.0%) and 48 (89.0%) of the coagulase positive staphylococci, respectively. Monostaph, Staph-Rapid-Test and Staphyslide-Test showed 1 (2.0%), 4 (8.0%) and 4 (8.0%) false positive reactions respectively. Monostaph, Staph-Rapid-Test and Staphyslide-Test gave 0 (0.0%), 6 (5.8%) and 7 (6.7%) non-interpretable reactions, respectively. Monostaph may be a good alternative to the tube-coagulase test for rapid and reliable identification of coagulase positive staphylococci from both food and veterinary sources. However, false negative reactions may occur with coagulase positive strains of S. hyicus subsp. hyicus and S. intermedius.  相似文献

Listeria ivanovii is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that is capable of causing abortions and stillbirths in farm animals, particularly sheep and cattle. In terms of morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics, L. ivanovii resembles other Listeria species such as L. monocytogenes, a pathogen of both man and animals. In this study, through comparative analysis of genomic DNA from the six Listeria species, a L. ivanovii specific clone (liv22-228) containing a 946 bp insert was isolated. This clone contained the 5' ends of two divergently transcribed L. ivanovii genes and an intergenic spacer region, similar in organization to homologous regions from the L. innocua and L. monocytogenes genomes. Regions of low homology in the clone were identified by comparing to the L. innocua and L. monocytogenes genomes, and oligonucleotide primers (liv22-228F and liv22-228R) were designed. These primers amplified a 463 bp band from genomic DNA of L. ivanovii strains only, but not from other Listeria species or common bacteria. Thus, PCR employing L. ivanovii specific primers (liv22-228F and liv22-228R) provides a useful and straightforward method for rapid and precise determination of L. ivanovii.  相似文献

An IgG-binding protein A homolog in Staphylococcus hyicus   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Shotgun phage display was used to identify a homolog of the IgG-binding protein staphylococcal protein A in Staphylococcus hyicus type strain CCUG 15602/ATCC 11249. This bacterium is the causative agent of exudative epidermitis in pigs and can also cause mastitis in cattle. A protein with similar features as the originally identified protein A in Staphylococcus aureus was described; an YSIRK-type signal peptide, four IgG-binding domains, a putative peptidoglycan-binding domain, and a cell wall anchoring motif (LPXTG) was present. The highest degree of similarity was to a protein A homolog in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. However, typical Xr polypeptide repeats present in the protein A of S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius could not be identified in the protein A of S. hyicus. The presence of the spa gene in ten porcine and eight bovine clinical isolates of S. hyicus was investigated by PCR. In all isolates, the spa gene could be detected but the amplicons were of two sizes. Sequence analysis of four selected PCR amplicons showed that only three IgG-binding domains were present in the protein A of clinical isolates generating a smaller spa fragment. The finding of spa in S. hyicus contributes to an increased understanding of potential virulence factors in this species.  相似文献

A total of 569 different bacterial isolates (156 Salmonella, 202 E. coli, 43 S. aureus, 38 S. hyicus, 52 E. faecalis, 78 E. faecium) were tested for susceptibility to copper sulphate, benzalkonium chloride, hydrogen peroxide and chlorhexidine using MIC determinations. A total of 442 isolates were also tested for susceptibility to formaldehyde and 177 isolates for susceptibility to zinc chloride. Enterococcal isolates formed a bimodal distribution of MICs to copper sulphate, whereas the other bacterial species formed one large population. Otherwise the isolates formed one large population of susceptibilities to the different antimicrobial agents. Large variations were observed in the susceptibility of the different bacterial species to the different compounds. Staphylococci were in general very susceptible to all antimicrobial compounds tested. The Salmonella isolates were in general less susceptible to copper sulphate, benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine followed by E. coli and the Gram-positive species. The opposite was the case for zinc chloride. All isolates were very susceptible to H(2)O(2) with MICs ranging from 0.002 to 0.016%, and to formaldehyde with MICs at 0.003 and 0.006%. This study showed that Danish bacterial isolates from livestock so far have not or have only to a limited degree developed resistance to antimicrobial compounds commonly used for disinfection. Acquired copper resistance was only found in enterococci. There were large differences in the intrinsic susceptibility of the different bacterial species to these compounds, and Salmonella especially seems intrinsically less susceptible than the other bacterial species, which might have human health implications.  相似文献

The development of a PCR assay based on the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) sequence was carried out for the identification of Staphylococcus intermedius. Sixty-six strains of S. intermedius, 70 of Staphylococcus aureus and 2 of Staphylococcus hyicus were examined for the assay. The 16S rDNA, of which the PCR target fragment makes up 901 bp corresponding to the sequence data of the gene, was detected in all strains of S. intermedius, but it was not detected in any strains of either S. aureus or S. hyicus. These results suggest that the PCR allows a simple and precise identification of S. intermedius.  相似文献

The species composition was determined in the set of 52 randomly selected strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, which were isolated from the milk of dairy cows in 1989. Of this set of strains, the following species were identified: Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. chromogenes (26.9% strains of the set), S. hyicus subsp. hyicus (10.3%), S. xylosus (19.3%), S. saprophyticus (11.5%), S. warneri (9.6%), S. haemolyticus (9.6%), S. hominis (3.8%). Attention is drawn to the increasing occurrence and significance of coagulase-negative staphylococci from the point of view of mastitis in dairy cows.  相似文献
