In this study, 117 isolates of Haemophilus parasuis from organs and tissues from pigs showing clinical signs, were characterised and compared with 10 H. parasuis reference strains. The isolates were subjected to the 16S rRNA gene PCR and subsequently serotyped, genotyped by 60-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp60) gene sequences, the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR and a multiplex PCR for the detection of the vtaA virulence associated trimeric autotransporter genes. Serotyping revealed the presence of 13 H. parasuis serovars. Serovars 3 and 10 were not detected, and 16 of the 117 H. parasuis isolates could not be typed by specific antisera. All isolates were positive in the 16S rRNA gene specific H. parasuis PCR. ERIC-PCR revealed a very heterogeneous pattern with 61 clusters; based on a 90% agreement. In total, 46 different Hsp60 sequence types were detected. Using 98% sequence similarity, as threshold for separation, 22 separate Hsp60 sequence clusters were distinguished. There was no correlation between H. parasuis serovars and ERIC-PCR clusters or Hsp60 sequence types, but both the ERIC-PCR and the Hsp60 sequence typing are suited as markers for H. parasuis molecular-epidemiology studies. In total, 102 H. parasuis swine isolates corresponded to the virulence associated group 1 vtaA type. The group 1 vtaA was detected in 12 different serovars. Only four of the 46 Hsp60 sequence types were not associated with the group 1 vtaA. This study shows that Dutch H. parasuis isolates from pigs with clinical signs have both a high serovar and genotypic lineage diversity. A majority of the known serovars contain the group 1 vtaA.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To produce antisera to the 15 recognised reference strains of the Kielstein-Rapp-Gabrielson (KRG) serotyping scheme for Haemophilus parasuis, validate those sera and use them to serotype 46 Australian field isolates of H parasuis. DESIGN: Antisera were produced in rabbits and validated by cross-testing with the reference strains and re-testing 15 Australian field isolates of H parasuis that had been previously serotyped in the United States of America. The validated antisera were then used to determine the serovar of 46 Australian isolates. RESULTS: Monospecific antisera were produced for 14 of the 15 KRG serovars of H parasuis. Two Australian field isolates, confirmed previously as serovars 1 and 7, were used to produce monospecific antisera for serovars 1 and 7 respectively. The antiserum for serovar 4 gave a one-way cross reaction with the antigen of serovar 14. The typing antisera correctly typed all 15 H parasuis that had been previously typed by antisera produced overseas. The 46 field isolates were shown to belong to serovars 2 (two isolates), 4 (one isolate), 5 (18 isolates), 12 (two isolates) and 13 (four isolates). The remaining 19 isolates were non-typable. CONCLUSION: Serotyping of H parasuis isolates is now available in Australia. H parasuis serovars 5 and 13 remain the predominant serovars present in Australian pigs.  相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis: new trends on diagnosis, epidemiology and control   总被引：35，自引：0，他引：35  
Haemophilus parasuis is a commensal organism of the upper respiratory tract of conventional pigs, but under appropriate conditions can invade and cause severe systemic disease, characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, arthritis and meningitis. Factors involved in systemic invasion by H. parasuis remain largely unknown. However, major advances in our knowledge of H. parasuis include (1) development of a species-specific PCR test to detect H. parasuis in clinical samples, (2) study of molecular epidemiology within and between herds, by use of a repetitive element-based PCR, (3) the proposal of an alternative serotyping technique, (4) development and testing of a new in vivo model for pathogenesis and virulence studies, and (5) use of controlled exposure of young pigs to low doses of live, virulent H. parasuis strains to reduce nursery mortality in affected swine herds.  相似文献

141 Haemophilus (H.) parasuis and 8 H. parasuis-like strains from different farms were serotyped according to Morozumi and Nicolet (1986 b) as well as to Bakos et al. (1952). It was possible to classify 72.8% of the investigated strains. 7 out of 12 serotypes have been described for the first time. The high specificity in the agar gel precipitation test was not reproducible in the more sensitive dot-blot procedure. The dot-blot results point to a participation of non-immunogenic polysaccharides in the detection reaction. The serotypes SV 1, SV 5, SV Jena 6 and SV Jena 10 proved to be highly virulent in SPF pigs, SV 2 and SV 4 were of medium virulence. The other serotypes were found to be nonvirulent. Unencapsulated strains and isolates of serotype SV 5 prevailed in animals with Glasser's disease. 23 H. parasuis and 3 H. parasuis-like strains were examined in sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). On the basis of protein profiles of whole-cell lysates, 23 of them could be assigned to 5 groups. Apart from the highly virulent strains of serovar 1, which belonged to PAGE type III, all other highly virulent strains of the serovars SV 5, SV Jena 6 and SV Jena 10 were grouped into PAGE type I. No correlation could be found between PAGE type on the one hand and virulence or origin of isolates on the other hand.  相似文献

The ability to form biofilms for a total of 80 field isolates and 15 reference strains of Haemophilus parasuis, the etiological agent of Glasser's disease, was tested by glass tube and polystyrene microtiter plate assays. A total 43% of field isolates, including strains representing 13 serovars (except serovars 3 and 8) and non-typable strains, exhibited the ability to form biofilms at different levels via polystyrene microtiter plate assays. Among the reference strains representing 15 serovars, only serovars 2, 9, 12, 13 and 15 could not form biofilms on the polystyrene surface. A total of 85% of the strains forming biofilms at air-liquid interfaces in glass tubes also formed biofilms on polystyrene surfaces. Generally, non-virulent serovars showed a higher degree of biofilm formation than virulent serovars. The biofilm formation phenotype of most strains was maintained when cultures were passaged on agar and in broth. H. parasuis from the nasal cavities of pigs experimentally infected with biofilm-positive bacteria maintained the biofilm formation phenotype, whereas bacteria recovered from the lung and brain lost the ability to form biofilms. The biofilm-negative strains did not recover the ability to form biofilms via experimental infection. Our data indicate that most serovars of H. parasuis could form biofilms in vitro, and the biofilm formation phenotype is associated with the recovery site of the strains and is maintained when bacteria are passaged in vitro and in the upper respiratory tract.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare the development of Glasser's disease in sow-reared and colostrum-deprived piglets. Ninety piglets from a commercial pig farm in Spain were used. The farm was positive for Haemophilus parasuis. Fifty-two pigs were sow-reared (SR) and 38 were colostrum-deprived (CD) piglets. The animals were intratracheally inoculated with H. parasuis serovar 5 and sacrificed at 1, 2 and 3 days post-infection. To assess the development of disease, antibody titers, clinical signs, pathological lesions, microbiological isolation and PCR amplification were compared between the groups. Inoculation of SR pigs did not cause clinical signs or lesions of Glasser's disease. In SR pigs, H. parasuis isolation and specific PCR amplification from tissues showed a very low number of positive samples. In contrast, in CD pigs, inoculation resulted in the typical signs and lesions of Glasser's disease. Positive microbiological isolation and specific PCR products were obtained from the majority of the tissues tested, and no antibodies against H. parasuis were detected. The experimental infection using CD pigs describes a successful method to study this microorganism and confirms the important role that maternal antibodies play in protection against clinical signs and disease.  相似文献

副猪嗜血杆菌(Haemophilus parasuis,Hps)的血清型及基因型具有复杂多样性。本研究用间接血凝试验对某一猪场分离的Hps进行血清分型鉴定,并对部分菌株的外膜蛋白P5基因进行克隆测序和进化发育分析。试验结果显示,在21头病死猪不同部位共分离了42株Hps,其中 Hps血清5型17株(40.7%)、血清14型12株(28.5%)、血清4型1株(2.3%)和未定型12株(28.5%)。本试验中有5头猪同时感染2种不同血清型的Hps。21株Hps临床分离株分属5个不同基因序列型(STA～STE),其中STA有12株(12/21)为优势基因型;相同血清型的Hps分离株具有不同的STs型,来自同一头猪的Hps血清型和STs型也不相同。以上结果表明,同一猪群感染的Hps血清型和基因型存在明显的多样性,同一头猪感染Hps的血清型和基因型也存在多样性。本研究为进一步揭示猪群感染Hps的复杂性,研究该病的感染与流行机制提供了有价值的参考。  相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis causes Gl?sser's disease as well as a number of other diseases in pigs. The diagnosis of H. parasuis-associated disease is usually established by clinical signs, pathological findings and bacterial isolation but diagnosis is complicated by the existence of non-virulent strains and the early colonisation of the upper respiratory tract of healthy piglets. Moreover, several strains can be found on a farm and even within a single animal so it is important to determine the specific strain that is causing the clinical outbreak. Recently, genotyping methods have been developed with the goal of correlating genotype with the degree of virulence of H. parasuis strains. The association between genotype and virulence in H. parasuis is challenging due to the lack of knowledge of the complete genomic sequence and virulence factors of this bacterium.  相似文献

Cross-protection between Haemophilus parasuis serovars 2 and 5 was examined in pigs using a bacterin based vaccine, and subsequently the safety and efficacy of a bivalent vaccine were evaluated. Upon intratracheal challenge of a serovar 2 or 5 strain, pigs immunized with a monovalent vaccine were protected against challenge with a homologous serovar strain, but not with a heterologous serovar strain. Immunization with a bivalent vaccine containing both serovars 2 and 5 bacterins conferred protection in pigs against lethal challenge with each of the serovar strains. A total of 86 pigs from two SPF herds were injected with the bivalent vaccine intramuscularly twice at a four-week interval. No adverse reactions following the vaccination were observed. On day 7 after the second vaccination, vaccinated and non-vaccinated control pigs from herd A were transferred to herd B, where Glasser's disease had broken out. Pigs in the control group developed clinical signs of the disease, and 6 of 8 (75%) pigs died until slaughter, in contrast with only 4 of 46 (9%) pigs in the vaccinated group. In herd C, where there was no outbreak of Glasser's disease, complement fixation antibody titer was raised only in the vaccinated group. A challenge experiment on days 20 and 79 after the second vaccination showed that only the vaccinated pigs were protected. From these findings, the safety and efficacy of the bivalent vaccine were confirmed under laboratory and field conditions.  相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis can cause pneumonia and systemic disease in swine but it is also a coloniser of the upper respiratory tract of healthy pigs. These differences in pathogenicity are probably the result of diverse mechanisms of virulence in different strains. Since serum-resistance is a feature frequently found in systemic pathogens, 31 H. parasuis strains of different clinical origin were tested and a variety of serum susceptibility levels detected. Nasal strains from healthy piglets were sensitive to the bactericidal effect of the serum, while systemic strains were mainly resistant. The pulmonary strains included both serum-sensitive and serum-resistant strains. Interestingly, the serum-resistant pulmonary strains were isolated from animals with systemic lesions. Heat-treatment of the sera abolished the bactericidal activity, indicating that complement is a key factor in this effect. Equivalent susceptibility was observed with rabbit and porcine sera, and the presence of H. parasuis specific antibodies did not increase the killing of the strains by serum. In an attempt to associate serum-resistance to a surface determinant of the bacteria, agglutination in acriflavine was tested but no direct link with serum susceptibility was found. The results indicate that serum-resistance is a virulence mechanism in H. parasuis.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the genetic diversity of Haemophilus parasuis field isolates with regard to serovar, herd of origin, and site of isolation. SAMPLE POPULATION: Isolates of H parasuis obtained from pigs in 15 North American herds and multi-farm systems. PROCEDURE: 98 H parasuis isolates were genotyped with the enterobacterial repetitive intergeneic consensus based-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) technique and serotyped via agar gel precipitation test. Genomic fingerprints were analyzed and dendrograms were constructed to identify strains from the same serovar group, herd of origin, or isolation site and to evaluate the genetic variability within these categories. RESULTS: Serovar 4 (39%) and nontypeable (NT) isolates (27%) were most prevalent. Thirty-four distinct strains were identified among the 98 isolates, using a 90% similarity cutoff. Strains from serovar 4 and NT isolates had high genetic diversity (12 and 18 strains, respectively). One to 3 major clusters of prevalent strains could be identified in most of the evaluated herds. Haemophilus parasuis strains isolated from the upper respiratory tract were either serovar 3 or NT isolates. Potentially virulent strains (isolated from systemic sites) were either serovars 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, or 14, or NT isolates. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Although H parasuis had high genetic diversity overall, only a few strains caused disease in these herds. The ERIC-PCR technique was more discriminative than serotyping, and a broad genetic variety was observed within particular serovar groups.  相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis, which causes polyserositis, polysynovitis, meningitis, septicemia, and pneumonia in pigs, has emerged as an increasing problem in modern swine production systems. Co-factors for and the pathogenesis of H. parasuis disease are not defined. One of the potential virulence factors of H. parasuis is its neuraminidase (sialidase). While purifying the H. parasuis neuraminidase from the membrane fraction, we developed a protocol to renature enzymatic activity after enzyme preparations were resolved electrophorectically in denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The H. parasuis neuraminidase co-resolved with recombinant neuraminidase of Vibrio cholera; thus its apparent molecular mass is 82 kilodalton (kDa). The H. parasuis neuraminidase was associated with the membrane fraction and the purification protocol removed over 99% of the H. parasuis cell protein while retaining over 90% of the neuraminidase activity. Purified protein will provide another avenue to clone the neuraminidase gene that has been refractory to cloning and the protocol will be a means to purify recombinant protein.  相似文献

Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are the major virulent factors of Haemophilus parasuis. PCR-RFLP targeting the ompA gene was conducted to investigate the possibility of genotyping H. parasuis in this study. Fifteen reference strains and 49 isolates from pig farms in northwest China were genotyped by PCR-RFLP with a pair of specific primers. The results indicated that both the 15 reference strains and 49 isolates could be classified into 8 different genotypes by PCR-RFLP, respectively. Seven genotypes including AA, BB, BA, CA, BC, BD and CD existed simultaneously in the reference strains and isolates, but genotype CB only existed in the isolated strains. Interestingly, genotypes BA, CD and CA were only found in diseased pigs and accounted for 38.8%, 22.4% and 18.4% of the isolates, respectively. On the other hand, strains isolated from apparently healthy pigs were classified into genotypes AA, BB, BC and CB. However, the virulent reference serovar 1 strain has an AA genotype, and the fact that nearly all strains from the healthy pigs belonged to serovars classed as virulent suggests that these genotypes might also include virulent strains; therefore, further validation with more field strains is needed. The capability of the RFLP-PCR method based on the ompA gene for genotyping H. parasuis isolates indicates that this method may be a useful tool for epidemiological study.  相似文献

Comparative virulence of porcine Haemophilus bacteria.   总被引：9，自引：2，他引：7       下载免费PDF全文
The virulence of strains of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1, 2, 3, 7 and strains of the "minor-group" and Haemophilus parasuis were compared by inoculating specific pathogen-free pigs into the lower airways with specified doses of bacteria. Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae, strain W, serotype 1, given in 1 X 10(8) colony-forming units, produced a lethal acute pleuropneumonia in four pigs. Nonlethal localized pulmonary necrosis was induced in four groups of two pigs given 1 X 10(7), 1 X 10(6), 1 X 10(5) and 1 X 10(4) respectively of the same strain. Two groups of four pigs developed chronic lesions when inoculated with 1 X 10(7) colony-forming units of H. pleuropneumoniae, strain Shope 4074, serotype 1 and 1 X 10(7) colony-forming units of H. pleuropneumoniae, strain WF83, serotype 7, respectively. Of 20 pigs given 1 X 10(8) colony-forming units of strain 1536, serotype 2, two died of acute pleuropneumonia and 18 had lesions of pulmonary necrosis or abscessation and pleuritis. A dose of 4 X 10(9) colony-forming units of strain BC181, serotype 3, induced pulmonary necrosis similar to the lesions in pigs given 10(7) colony-forming units or less of strain W, serotype 1, suggesting that the serotype 3 strain is less virulent. No clinical signs, but focal areas of pulmonary fibrosis and pleural adhesions were induced in four pigs inoculated with 4 X 10(9) colony-forming units of the "minor-group" strain 7ATS. Similarly, four pigs inoculated with "minor-group" strain 33PN did not show clinical signs, but had focal necrotic and fibrotic pulmonary lesions and pleural adhesions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Haemophilus parasuis is a colonizer of the upper respiratory tract of pigs and the etiological agent of Gl?sser's disease, which is characterized by a fibrinous polyserositis, meningitis and arthritis. Gl?sser's disease has never been reported in wild boar (Sus scrofa), although antibodies against H. parasuis have been detected. The goal of this study was to confirm the presence of this bacterium in wild boar by bacterial isolation and to compare the strains to H. parasuis from domesticated pigs. Therefore, nasal swabs from 42 hunted wild boars were processed for bacterial isolation and subsequent H. parasuis identification by specific PCR, biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Two different strains of H. parasuis from two wild boars were isolated. These strains belonged to serotype 2 and were included by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MLST analysis in a cluster with other H. parasuis strains of nasal origin from domestic pigs. During this study, Actinobacillus minor and Actinobacillus indolicus, which are NAD-dependent Pasteurellaceae closely related to H. parasuis, were also isolated. Our results indicate similarities in the respiratory microbiota of wild boars and domestic pigs, and although H. parasuis was isolated from wild boars, more studies are needed to determine if this could be a source of H. parasuis infection for domestic pigs.  相似文献

The molecular diversity of the gene encoding the outer membrane protein A (OmpA) of Haemophilus parasuis has been unclear. In this study, the structural characteristics, sequence types, and genetic diversity of ompA were investigated in 15 H. parasuis reference strains of different serovars and 20 field isolates. Three nucleotide lengths of the complete open reading frame (ORF) of ompA were found: 1098 base pairs (bp), 1104 bp, and 1110 bp. The OmpA contained 4 hypervariable domains, mainly encoding the 4 putative surface-exposed loops, which makes it a potential molecular marker for genotyping. Western blot analysis showed that the recombinant OmpAs of serovars 4 and 5 could cross-react with antiserum to all 15 serovars. Hence, although ompA of H. parasuis exhibited high variation among serovars, this variation did not seem to affect the strong antigenic characteristics of OmpA.  相似文献
