The phenotype of 21 weaned piglets, concerning adhesion of Escherichia coli possessing K88ab, K88ac or K88ad fimbriae to pig cells, was determined in an in vitro assay. Comparison was made with adhesion of these three K88 variant strains to buccal mucosal epithelial cells and to erythrocytes (haemagglutination) in the same piglets. Whereas adhesion of the three K88 variant strains to intestinal villi was piglet specific, buccal cell adhesion (BCA) and haemagglutination (HA) were not. The K88ab strain was weakly adhesive or non-adhesive in the BCA and negative in the HA test. K88ac strains consistently gave negative and K88ad consistently gave positive results in both assays. After washing the bacteria with phosphate-buffered saline, the K88ab strain revealed a positive HA test. Neither the BCA, nor HA test can be used to determine the pig intestinal adhesive phenotype.  相似文献

Equine small intestinal brush-border membranes, from 40 adult horses were tested in vitro for the presence of receptors for the Escherichia coli adhesive antigens K88ab, K88ac and K99. Only K88-positive strains of E. coli adhered strongly to horse brush-border membranes. In contrast, a K88-negative mutant strain J2, 2 K99-positive strains and 3 E. coli strains isolated from foals failed to adhere to horse brush-border membranes. Purified K88ac pili when reacted with equine brush-border membranes inhibited to a great extent the adhesion of K88-positive E. coli. Similarly, K88-positive E. coli previously reacted with K88 antibody, did not attach to equine brush-border membranes. Oral inoculation of 4 newborn foals with strains of K88-positive enterotoxigenic E. coli, producing either heat-stable or heat-labile enterotoxin, caused diarrhoea in 1 animal.  相似文献

Conventionally raised Chinese Meishan and European Large White pigs were intragastrically challenge exposed with 2.1 x 10(10) enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains bearing colonization factor K88, 987P, F41, or F41 plus K99. In response to challenge exposure with the K88-positive (K88+) organisms, 96% of Large White pigs died within 48 hours, whereas none of the Meishan pigs died. Both breeds of pigs had similar susceptibility to strains bearing 987P or F41. Lastly, Meishan pigs were found to be more susceptible than Large White pigs to a strain expressing K99 and F41. In pigs with diarrhea, challenge-exposure strains intensively colonized the jejunum (10(8) to 10(10) bacteria/g of tissue) and, to less extent, the duodenum (except K88+ strain, which comprised 10(8)/g). In most cases, jejunal concentrations of the challenge-exposure strains were substantially lower in pigs that did not have diarrhea. Half the resistant Meishan pigs eliminated the K88+ strain from the intestines. Colostral antibody titer that agglutinated challenge-exposure strains did not differ between Meishan and Large White gilts. Results indicate that resistance of pigs to the K88+ strain did not extend to enterotoxigenic strains bearing other well-known factors. They indicate, in addition, that genetic resistance to K88+ strains described in pigs in Europe may exist in pigs in China.  相似文献

Three-week-old weaned and colostrum-deprived neonatal (less than 1 day old) pigs were inoculated to determine the pathogenicity of 2 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates that do not express K88, K99, F41, or 987P adhesins (strains 2134 and 2171). Strains 2134 and 2171 were isolated from pigs that had diarrhea after weaning attributable to enterotoxigenic E coli infection. We found that both strains of E coli adhered in the ileum and caused diarrhea in pigs of both age groups. In control experiments, adherent bacteria were not seen in the ileum of pigs less than 1 day old or 3 weeks old that were noninoculated or inoculated with a nonpathogenic strain of E coli. These control pigs did not develop diarrhea. Antisera raised against strains 2134 and 2171 and absorbed with the autologous strain, grown at 18 C, were used for bacterial-agglutination and colony-immunoblot assays. Both absorbed antisera reacted with strains 2134 and 2171, but not with strains that express K99, F41, or 987P adhesins. A cross-reaction was observed with 2 wild-type K88 strains, but not with a K12 strain that expresses K88 pili. Indirect immunofluorescence with these absorbed antisera revealed adherent bacteria in frozen sections of ileum from pigs infected with either strain. We concluded that these strains are pathogenic and express a common surface antigen that may be a novel adhesin in E coli strains that cause diarrhea in weaned pigs.  相似文献

Five E. coli strains carrying K99 antigen isolated from the intestines of calves which had succumbed to diarrhoea and six K88-positive strains isolated from fatal cases of diarrhoea in piglets were examined for their mannose-resistant haemagglutination (MRHA) capacity against pig erythrocytes. The bovine strains showed a geometric mean MRHA-titre of 1/18 and the porcine strains one of 1/45. Similar experiments were carried out after addition of the following antibiotics in doubling dilutions: ampicillin, chloramphenicol, colistin, dihydro-streptomycin, gentamicin, neomycin, polymyxin B and oxytetracycline. Colistin and polymyxin B had a marked concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on MRHA. Neomycin and gentamicin also inhibited MRHA but to a lesser degree. Chloramphenicol, dihydrostreptomycin and oxytetracycline showed no effect. With ampicillin, a trend was found for the ratio values to be inversely proportional to the concentration. This suggests that this antibiotic has an enhancing effect on the haemagglutination.  相似文献

F41-positive and F41-negative derivatives of bovine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain B41 carrying K88 or K88 and K99 plasmids were investigated for stability and expression of genes for their fimbrial antigens. Either K88 plasmid alone or both K88 and K99 plasmids could be maintained in these strains though stability could depend on culture medium. K99 antigen could be detected in each strain bearing K99 plasmid. Clones that produced K88 antigen or clones that did not produce this antigen could be isolated from each strain, except from the strain that possessed K99 plasmid in the strain that did not possess the ability to produce F41 antigen. Strains possessing K88 plasmid in the strain able to produce F41 antigen produced clones expressing either both K88 and F41 antigens, (also F41 appeared strongly expressed in some clones) or clones that produced only F41 antigen or no antigen at all. Clones that produced only K88 antigen or others that did not produce this antigen could be produced from a strain bearing only K88 plasmid and that did not possess the ability to produce F41 antigen. None of these strains bearing K88 plasmid alone or additionally K99 plasmid produced mannose-resistant hemagglutination of horse or sheep erythrocytes at 20°C as found for K99 and F41 ETEC natural strains, respectively. These results suggested that the structures of pili when several genetic determinants were present simultaneously may not be identical to those of original strains. In this study, clones expressing either one, two or three adhesin bearing antigens could be obtained from the strain B41.  相似文献

Pregnant gilts were vaccinated with two doses of alhydrogel adsorbed fimbrial antigens of Escherichia coli (K88ab, K88ac, K99 and 987P) supplemented with beta toxoid of Clostridium perfringens type C. Their piglets, and piglets of nonvaccinated gilts, were subsequently orogastrically challenged with one or other of the four fimbrial types of enteropathogenic E coli. Some of the vaccinated animals were reinjected with a single dose of the vaccine during second gestation and their piglets, and piglets of non-vaccinated sows, were challenged the same way as were litters of gilts. Blood serum and colostra were examined for antibodies to the four fimbrial antigens of E coli and for antitoxin to beta toxin of C perfringens type C. It was found that: (1) a highly significant reduction in mortality and morbidity was achieved in vaccinated litters against all four challenge strains of E coli; (2) excretion of K88ab and K88ac but not of K99 and 987P challenge strains was significantly reduced; (3) revaccination of sows by a single dose of the vaccine during second gestation conferred complete protection against mortality and highly significant protection against morbidity; (4) no correlation was noted between colostral or seroagglutinins to fimbrial antigens of E coli and mortality rates in litters challenged with homologous fimbrial types of E coli, but good correlation was found between colostral precipitins to K88 antigens and mortality rates in litters; (5) antitoxin value in 97 per cent of colostrum of vaccinated sows was 10 iu equivalent of C perfringens type C toxin or more per ml of colostrum.  相似文献

In trials with mice, rabbits and weanling piglets, four experimental charges of a combined inactivated oil vaccine against diarrhoeas in mammals were tested: the vaccine was to be implanted to sows and it contained porcine rotavirus (PRV); two charges also contained bovine rotavirus and bacterins of enterotoxicogenic strains of E. coli with protective antigens K88, K99 and 987P. At low starting antibody titres the twofold i.m. implantation of 0.2 ml vaccine stimulated in mice the production of antibodies to reach the average titre value of 1:128 against PRV and of 1:256 against BRV; in rabbits the twofold i.m. implantation of 2 ml vaccine stimulated the antibody development to reach the average titres of 1:508 or 1:500, and in weanlings after the twofold i. m. implantation of the vaccine the titres were 1:1028 or 1:469; in mice agglutination antibodies to antigen K88 had the average value of 1:68, to antigen K99 the value of 1:44 and to antigen 987P the value of 1:8192; in rabbits the respective titres were 1:285, 1:136 and 1:6006 and in pigs 1:570, 1:631 and 1:8192. The antibodies to antigen 987P persisted at the same level in pigs for six months. Even though there was a gradual decrease in the antibodies to antigens K88 and K99, at that time the values were 9.8 times, or 15.2 times higher than the starting values, and only the antibodies to PRV dropped to the pre-vaccination level. Repeated administration of vaccine to pigs after six months from revaccination induced, with the exception of antigen 987P, an increase in antibodies in a fortnight to reach such titres that were recorded after revaccination.  相似文献

Fimbriae in Escherichia coli isolated from the small intestine of piglets   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Ninety E. coli strains, isolated from piglets which had died from neonatal diarrhea, were tested for the presence of K88, K99, 987P and type 1 fimbriae. Two or more types of fimbriae were demonstrated in 14 of the strains, a single fimbria! type in 44 strains while in 32 strains no fimbriae were detected. Of the 14 E. coli strains with more than 1 type of fimbriae, 12;, 10, 8 and 4 strains showed K88, K99, 987P and type 1, respectively.Twelve E. coli strains were isolated from piglets which had died in the neonatal period without showing signs of neonatal diarrhea at necropsy. One strain showed 987P and 3 strains showed type 1 fimbriae, while the remaining 8 strains were unfimbriated.Sixteen fimbriated E. coli strains were subcultured in order to examine the stability of fimbrial expression in the strains. The K88 and the type 1 fimbriae were regularly expressed, while the K99 and 987P were inconsistently demonstrated.  相似文献

Seroagglutination (SAT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and indirect fluorescent antibody staining tests (IFAT) were compared for reliability in the detection of pilus antigens K99, K88, and 987P of Escherichia coli. Test sensitivities were compared using mixtures of piliated bacteria of several strains diluted to a constant optical density with a nonpiliated strain. Relative sensitivities and specificities of the 3 tests were also compared using 55 E. coli strains that had previously been serotyped and characterized for pilus genes by DNA probe. Although specificity was not a serious problem with any of the tests, the SAT was relatively nonsensitive. The IFAT showed the greatest sensitivity of the 3 tests in detecting K88, K99, and 987P E. coli.  相似文献

Three hundred and fifteen E. coli strains isolated from the intestine of piglets were examined for K-antigens 88 and 99, enterotoxin production and colicin resistance. Of these strains 308 belonged to one of 3 following different groups: Group 1: 0149, K88, producing heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, group 2: 064, K99, producing ST, and group 3: variable O-antigens, no K-antigens or enterotoxin production.Almost 100 % of the E. coli strains were found to be resistant to colicins E1, E3, Ia, H and D+X. Resistance to colicins E2, B+M, V and K+X were found in 91.7 %, 43.8 %, 49.8 % and 62.2 % respectively.E. coli strains in group 1 were always (resistant to colicin E2, while about 87 % of the other strains were resistant to this colicin. E. coli strains in group 2 were more often resistant to colicin B+M, V and K+X (65 %, 94 %, 83 %) than strains in group 1 (37 %, 24 %, 64 %) and strains in group 3 (37 %, 52 %, 46 %).E. coli strains in group 2 showed a high degree of multiresistance, 45.1 % of the strains being resistant to all of the 9 colicins. About 10 % of the other strains were resistant to all of the 9 colicins.E. coli strains harbouring the enteropathogenicity factors K99 antigen and ST production, showed a higher degree of colicin resistance than both the E. coli strains with K88 antigen and ST and LT production, and the E. coli strains lacking enteropathogenicity factors.  相似文献

A panel of monoclonal antibodies against fimbrial adhesins of porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli were evaluated for the detection of enteric colibacillosis in paraffin-wax embedded sections of piglet small intestine. Using the immunoperoxidase technique, monoclonal antibodies were used to detect epitopes on the K99 adhesin and on the a and c regions of the K88 adhesin. However, monoclonal antibodies to the F41 and 987P adhesins failed to react in sections with organisms colonising the intestine of gnotobiotic piglets monoinfected with strains bearing those adhesins, whereas corresponding polyclonal antisera gave positive results. In contrast to apparent expression of all K99 organisms, only a proportion of organisms were identified by monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies as expressing K88. In some instances, failure of immunostaining was attributed to prolonged storage of tissue in formalin.  相似文献

All the K99+ Escherichia coli grown at 37 degrees C stained strongly with a peroxidase labelled K99 monoclonal antibody using a direct immunoperoxidase staining procedure. There was no reaction when these bacteria were cultured at 18 degrees C or when K99- E coli were grown at either temperature. The binding of the monoclonal antibody to K99 antigen was inhibited by OK antisera to heterologous K99+ E coli but OK antisera to E coli producing adhesins other than K99 were without effect. Using the slide agglutination test the reactions of the monoclonal antibody were identical to those of a polyclonal antiserum to K99 when both were used in parallel to examine 100 K99+ E coli from at least 10 somatic O groups and 1308 K99+ E coli from at least 82 different somatic O groups submitted for routine serological typing in England or the, USA. The monoclonal antibody reacted with K99+ E coli in cryostat sections of the ileum from a piglet infected with E coli strain B44 (O9: K30, K99, F41) but there was no reaction with similar material from piglets infected by E coli strains 1751 (O101: F41), X177/81 (O9: K103, 987P) or Abbotstown (O149: K91, K88ac).  相似文献

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections result in large economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. The organism causes diarrhea by adhering to and colonizing enterocytes in the small intestines. While much progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of ETEC, no homologous intestinal epithelial cultures suitable for studying porcine ETEC pathogenesis have been described prior to this report. In the current study, we investigated the adherence of various porcine ETEC strains to two porcine (IPEC-1 and IPEC-J2) and one human (INT-407) small intestinal epithelial cell lines. Each cell line was assessed for its ability to support the adherence of E. coli expressing fimbrial adhesins K88ab, K88ac, K88ad, K99, F41, 987P, and F18. Wild-type ETEC expressing K88ab, K88ac, and K88ad efficiently bound to both IPEC-1 and IPEC-J2 cells. An ETEC strain expressing both K99 and F41 bound heavily to both porcine cell lines but an E. coli strain expressing only K99 bound very poorly to these cells. E. coli expressing F18 adhesin strongly bound to IPEC-1 cells but did not adhere to IPEC-J2 cells. The E. coli strains G58-1 and 711 which express no fimbrial adhesins and those that express 987P fimbriae failed to bind to either porcine cell line. Only strains B41 and K12:K99 bound in abundance to INT-407 cells. The binding of porcine ETEC to IPEC-J2, IPEC-1 and INT-407 with varying affinities, together with lack of binding of 987P ETEC and non-fimbriated E. coli strains, suggests strain-specific E. coli binding to these cell lines. These findings suggest the potential usefulness of porcine intestinal cell lines for studying ETEC pathogenesis.  相似文献

Coagglutination was used to detect K88 and K99 fimbrial antigens on Escherichia coli, and results were compared to an enzyme immuno assay (EIA). When pili suspensions were tested by both methods, 28 of 66 cultures were shown to have K88 and 11 of 31 cultures had K99 antigens. No pili suspensions were positive by coagglutination that were not positive by EIA. Testing of cell suspensions gave equivalent results to pili suspensions for K99 when tested by coagglutination. Two cell suspensions reacted with the K88 coagglutination which could not be confirmed by testing of pili suspensions, while a further 20 out of 43 cultures gave equivalent results with both cell and pili suspensions for K88 when tested by coagglutination.  相似文献

The probiotics tested in the experiment were isolated from the intestinal of weaning piglets.The isolated probiotics and E.coli K88 were inoculated into the culture of intestinal porcine epithelial cell-1 (IPEC-1).The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the supernatant was measured after incubating for 2.5 h.At the same time, the probiotics and E.coli K88 were co-cultured in vitro, the number of E.coli K88 was counted and the probiotics which could be resistant to the E.coli K88 were selected 2.5 h later.The results showed that the Lactobacillus casei and Bacillus coagulans could significantly reduce LDH activity (P<0.05), decrease the damage of E.coli K88; Bacillus coagulans could inhibit the growth of E.coli K88.At the same time, Bacillus coagulans could resist high temperature, acid and bile salt.The results showed that Bacillus coagulans strains had great potential as the application of probiotics strains.The methods could be used as a model of screen probiotics which could inhibit the growth of E.coli K88 in vitro.  相似文献

The in vitro antimicrobial activities of aditoprim (AP), a new dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor, trimethoprim (TMP), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and combinations of these drugs against some porcine respiratory tract pathogens were determined by use of an agar dilution method. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of these agents were determined twice against Bordetella bronchiseptica (n = 10), Pasteurella multocida (n = 10), and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (n = 20) strains isolated from pigs suffering from atrophic rhinitis or pleuropneumonia. All B bronchiseptica strains were resistant to AP and TMP. The MIC50 values of AP and TMP for P multocida were 0.25 and 0.06 microgram/ml, respectively, and for A pleuropneumoniae, 1 and 0.25 microgram/ml, respectively. The MIC50 values of SDM and SMX for B bronchiseptica were 4 and 1 micrograms/ml, respectively; for P multocida, 16 and 8 micrograms/ml, respectively; and for A pleuropneumoniae, 16 and 8 micrograms/ml, respectively. The investigated combinations of the DHFR inhibitors and the selected sulfonamides had synergism for the A pleuropneumoniae strains; the MIC90 values of the combinations were less than or equal to 0.06 microgram/ml. Potentiation was not observed for the B bronchiseptica and the P multocida isolates. The MIC of the combinations against B bronchiseptica and P multocida corresponded respectively to the concentrations of the sulfonamides and the DHFR inhibitors in the combinations. For A pleuropneumoniae, 2 types of strains were used (25% of serotype 2 and 75% of serotype 9). Type-2 strains had lower susceptibility than type-9 strains to AP and TMP as well as to SDM and SMX (at least a fourfold difference in MIC between the 2 types of strains).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
