Edwardsiella ictaluri was consistently isolated from the spleens, livers, and head kidneys of diseased Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus from a farm experiencing mortality events in several culture ponds. We describe the first published outbreak of E. ictaluri-induced edwardsiellosis in Nile tilapia. Pure cultures of the isolated bacteria were characterized both biochemically and molecularly. Biochemical analysis was performed using the API-20E and RapID One systems, and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the broth microdilution method. Molecular analysis involved sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, species-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR-mediated genomic fingerprinting (rep-PCR). Pairwise sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene identified the case isolates to be a 100% match to E. ictaluri cultured from channel catfish in the southeastern United States. However, rep-PCR analysis identified the case isolates to be genetically different from representative strains isolated from disease outbreaks in cultured channel catfish in Mississippi. Infectivity challenges (intraperitoneal injection and immersion) demonstrated that a representative E. ictaluri strain isolated from tilapia was pathogenic to naive tilapia, reproducing clinical signs and mortality, thereby establishing Koch's postulates.  相似文献

Abstract

Edwardsiella ictaluri was consistently isolated from the spleens, livers, and head kidneys of diseased Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus from a farm experiencing mortality events in several culture ponds. We describe the first published outbreak of E. ictaluri–induced edwardsiellosis in Nile tilapia. Pure cultures of the isolated bacteria were characterized both biochemically and molecularly. Biochemical analysis was performed using the API-20E and RapID One systems, and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the broth microdilution method. Molecular analysis involved sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, species-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR-mediated genomic fingerprinting (rep-PCR). Pairwise sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene identified the case isolates to be a 100% match to E. ictaluri cultured from channel catfish in the southeastern United States. However, rep-PCR analysis identified the case isolates to be genetically different from representative strains isolated from disease outbreaks in cultured channel catfish in Mississippi. Infectivity challenges (intraperitoneal injection and immersion) demonstrated that a representative E. ictaluri strain isolated from tilapia was pathogenic to naïve tilapia, reproducing clinical signs and mortality, thereby establishing Koch's postulates.

A temperature-sensitive (Ts) mutant strain of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) was developed after exposure of the wild-type organism to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The Ts mutant strain grew at 31 C but had its growth inhibited at 41 C unlike wild-type parent strain. The Ts mutant and parent strains were characterized. Morphologic and biochemical properties of wild-type and mutant strains did not show any differences. The strains were also characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based fingerprinting methods. Results showed similar patterns in repetitive sequences by repetitive PCR (enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus, highly conserved repeated DNA elements present in Streptococcus pneumoniae (BOX), repetitive extragenic palindromic, and Salmonella enteritidis repetitive element primers); however, random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting was able to differentiate mutant and parent strains showing a unique pattern for each of the ORT strains. The rationale for the use of a Ts strain as a vaccine is based on the ability of the mutant to colonize the upper respiratory tract but not the lower respiratory tract and systemic system of the birds, where the wild-type strain causes severe lesions. In a preliminary evaluation, Ts strain of ORT was recovered from tracheas and choanae of Ts-treated turkeys for 13 days postadministration of the strain either in drinking water or by oculonasal instillation. Humoral immune response was detected in Ts-vaccinated but not in control group birds after 3 wk postadministration. Results suggest that Ts strain of ORT has promising potential use as a live vaccine for ORT.  相似文献

Ornithobacteriosis is an infectious disease of avian species that has been reported in almost all countries around the world, except Thailand. The objectives of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and to isolate and identify ORT in broilers and broiler breeders in Thailand. Chicken antibodies had been randomly checked from 17 farms (19 flocks) of broilers and 23 farms (28 flocks) of broiler breeders. The seropositive flocks were 63% and 100% in broilers and broiler breeders, respectively. The sera analysis showed that the individual 280 broiler sera antibody responses were 67.5% negative, 12.9% suspect, and 19.6% positive. The individual antibody responses of 510 broiler breeder sera revealed 12.2% negative, 38.0% suspect, and 49.8% positive samples. The bacteria were isolated and identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Bacterial isolation and identification revealed that nine isolates of the 12 PCR analysis samples showed positive results to PCR analysis. All the positive PCR samples were collected from the broiler breeder farms.  相似文献

The identification of lactic acid bacteria in a complex microbiota using bacteriological culture in combination with phenotypic and genotypic identification techniques is laborious and time-consuming. New molecular methods permit a fast and culture-independent characterisation of such microbiota. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR fragments of the 16S rRNA gene has been proven to be a suitable tool. Here the use of PCR-DGGE with group specific primers is described to investigate the dynamic of sourdough microbiota from addition of the starter until the microbiota remained stable. Species were identified by applying an identification ladder obtained from reference strains or by sequence analysis of the PCR fragments. Furthermore, a method for detection of strains in complex microbiota is described. A strain specific chromosomal DNA fragment of Lactobacillus paracasei LTH 2579 was isolated applying the subtraction hybridisation. Based on the acquired target sequence a specific PCR system was established and combined with a PCR system specific for the species L. paracasei. Use of this detection system permitted to identify and quantitatively detect L. paracasei LTH 2579 in fermented sausages and upon consumption in faecal samples.  相似文献

Gallibacterium was recently established as a new genus including organisms previously reported as Pasteurella anatis, [Actinobacillus] salpingitidis and avian Pasteurella haemolytica-like organisms. The aim of the present study was to develop a PCR method allowing unambiguous identification of Gallibacterium. PCR primers positioned in the 16S rRNA (1133fgal) and 23S rRNA (114r) genes were defined and their specificity was subsequently tested on 122 strains. Twenty-five of the strains represented all of the presently available 15 phenotypic variants of Gallibacterium from different geographical locations, 22 other strains represented other poultry associated bacterial species or bacteria which could pose a differential diagnostic problem including members of the families Pasteurellaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Flavobacteriaceae, and finally 75 Gallibacterium field strains isolated from Mexican chicken egg-layers. Specific amplicons were generated in all 100 Gallibacterium strains tested, whereas none of the non-Gallibacterium strains tested positive. Correct identification was confirmed by hybridization with the Gallibacterium specific probe GAN850. Two internal amplification control strategies were successfully incorporated into the PCR assay, one based on amplification of the house-keeping gene rpoB (sharing target DNA) and another based on addition of trout DNA (foreign target DNA) and amplification with beta-actin specific primers. In conclusion, the described PCR assay enables specific identification of Gallibacterium and will thus stand as a strong alternative to the present diagnostic methods.  相似文献

Twenty morphologically similar strains of a Mycobacterium sp isolated from milk of cows with bovine mastitis in the US Department of Agriculture dairy herd were identified as M smegmatis. Mastitis isolates submitted from Vermont and Washington also were identified as M smegmatis. A scheme for presumptive identification of rapidly growing mycobacteria was developed, using culture media and bacteriologic techniques commonly used in mastitis diagnostic laboratories. Important tests used were acid-fast staining, rapidity of growth, pigmentation, nitrate reduction, arylsulfatase activity, mucic acid utilization, acid production from galactose, rhamnose, and inositol, and growth at 45 C and 52 C.  相似文献

A real-time quantitative PCR using the TaqMan fluorogenic detection system (TaqMan PCR) was established for identification of Ehrlichia risticii, the agent of Potomac horse fever (PHF). The TaqMan PCR identified an 85 base pair section of the 16S rRNA gene by use of a specific fluorogenic probe and two primers. This technique was specific for eight tested E. risticii strains. The TaqMan system identified 10 copies of a cloned section of the 16S rRNA gene of E. risticii. The sensitivity and specificity of the TaqMan PCR were similar to those of conventional nested PCR. The TaqMan PCR was evaluated on horses with infectious colitis and on freshwater stream snails collected from regions with a history of PHF. E. risticii could be detected in 22 of 153 (14.4%) horses with infectious colitis and in 25 of 234 (10.7%) snails in the TaqMan PCR. The same results were obtained in the conventional nested PCR. The Ehrlichia-load was in the range of 10,000-9,000,000 and 35,000-680, 000,000 Ehrlichia equivalents per microg leukocyte DNA and snail DNA, respectively.  相似文献

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is a bacterium responsible for a respiratory disease in turkeys and chickens and has been identified as one of the emerging respiratory bacterial pathogens. The clinical signs and lesions caused by ORT are very similar to those caused by other respiratory infectious agents; therefore, an accurate diagnostic test is necessary to identify the infection. In this study, we have investigated the use of outer membrane proteins of ORT in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the exposure to ORT infection. Outer membrane proteins of ORT were extracted and used as an antigen in ELISA to detect infection in turkeys exposed to different serotypes of ORT. The ELISA results were compared with the conventional serum plate agglutination test. The agglutination test detected specific antibodies for ORT in 65% of experimentally infected turkeys during the first 2 wk of infection. The ELISA detected up to 100% of infected birds for 8 wk postinfection. The results suggest that ELISA is able to detect the exposure to ORT in later stages of the infection and this assay can be used in serologic surveillance of ORT infection for poultry in the field.  相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the relatedness of porcine Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (S.) serovar Typhimurium strains isolated in Southern Brazil. Sixty-six isolates from pigs belonging to three commercial companies were submitted to phage typing, XbaI-macrorestriction (PFGE), IS200 hybridization, rep-PCR, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and PCR assay targeting the spvR region. All strains presented a unique rep-PCR pattern and 63 strains had a common IS200 profile. One pulse-type (XA) was the most prevalent (39/66 strains) and included strains of phage types DT177, DT192, DT194 and RDNC. The spvR region was detected in three strains, which harboured plasmids of 90 kb. High rates of tetracycline, sulfonamide and streptomycin resistance were found. Isolates from farms located in different geographic regions but associated to the same commercial companies clustered together and presented a common resistance profile. Results suggested that clonal groups of S. Typhimurium are present in pig commercial companies in Southern Brazil.  相似文献

Prevalence of mycoplasmas in the respiratory tracts of pneumonic calves.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The prevalence of mycoplasmas in the respiratory tracts of 148 pneumonic calves originating from 25 herds in the Netherlands is reported. Four types of culture media were used to isolate mycoplasmas: solid modified Edward medium, 2 types of Friis media, and A7B differential agar medium. Mycoplasmas were isolated both from nasal swab specimens and lung lavage fluids collected from live calves and from nasal mucosa and lung tissue specimens collected post mortem. All of the mycoplasma strains isolated could be identified as either Ureaplasma diversum (isolated from 80% of 25 herds), Mycoplasma dispar (92%), M. bovirhinis (88%), M. bovis (20%), M. bovigenitalium (4%), M. arginini (16%), or M. canis (12%). Isolation rates of M. dispar and U. diversum were considerably higher from lung lavage fluids than from nasal swab specimens. M. bovis was detected only in fattening herds and not in dairy herds. The respiratory tracts of 75% of the calves examined contained at least 2 mycoplasma species. In total, 25 different combinations of mycoplasma species were detected in specimens collected from noses and lungs. The pathogenic species U. diversum and M. dispar had not been isolated before in the Netherlands.  相似文献

There is an increasing demand for fast and reliable methods to distinguish Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) from closely related mycobacteria and also a need for rapid strain specific typing of clinical isolates for epidemiological reasons. In the present study, the potential of rep-PCR as a fingerprinting method for M. paratuberculosis was assessed and compared to conventional RFLP. A PCR assay was designed and optimised to obtain reproducible fingerprints of mycobacterial DNA with primers targeting the enterobacterial intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequence and the M. paratuberculosis specific insertion sequence IS900. Reproducible fingerprints were obtained with 60 strains of M. paratuberculosis, 16 strains of M. avium subsp. avium, 3 strains of M. intracellulare, and 11 other mycobacterial strains. A species-specific band pattern that was clearly distinguishable from that of other mycobacteria was obtained with M. paratuberculosis. The rep-PCR did not detect any differences among M. paratuberculosis strains of different RFLP types, and was therefore not considered as an alternative fingerprinting method. However, the species-specific band pattern make IS900/ERIC-PCR a suitable alternative for distinguishing M. paratuberculosis from other mycobacteria, especially in cases of IS900 PCR positive mycobacteria. The fingerprinting method reported was fast and easy to perform, and produced highly reproducible results.  相似文献

Seventy five bacteria tentatively identified as Haemophilus paragallinarum (the causative agent of infectious coryza), eight identified as Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale and 13 identified as NAD-independent Pasteurella species were isolated from chickens with respiratory infection in various provinces in South Africa. The isolates were characterized by conventional biochemical and serological methods. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay specific for H. paragallinarum was used to identify the cultures directly from colonies. The PCR assay gave positive results for all isolates that were identified by conventional methods as H. paragallinarum, irrespective of whether they were nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent (43 isolates) or NAD-independent (32 isolates). The eight isolates that were identified by conventional methods as O. rhinotracheale and the 13 isolates identified as various Pasteurella species gave negative results in the PCR assay. This study has demonstrated that colony PCR is a rapid method for uniquely identifying both NAD-dependent and NAD-independent strains of H. paragallinarum and distinguishing them from other bacteria, such as O. rhinotracheale and Pasteurella species.  相似文献
