Seven group B streptococcal cultures isolated from three horses reacted with group B-specific antiserum, were CAMP positive, pigmented and showed the typical biochemical properties of Streptococcus agalactiae. The identification could be confirmed by PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene and a subsequent RsaI restriction pattern typical for S. agalactiae. In addition, the isolates were identified by amplification of species specific parts of the 16S rRNA gene, the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region and by amplification of the CAMP-factor (cfb) gene. Six isolates could be classified as serotype III/Rib, one isolate as serotype Ia/cbeta. The occurrence of the protein antigens Rib and cbeta could be confirmed by PCR amplification of the respective genes. The six isolates of serotype III/Rib were hyaluronidase negative, had a hylB gene with a size of 4.6 kb and an insertion element IS1548 of 0.98 kb. The isolate of serotype Ia/cbeta was hyaluronidase positive, had a hylB gene with a size of 3.3 kb and no insertion element IS1548. In addition, all seven isolates had the insertion element ISSag2 and the gene lmb encoding the laminin binding surface protein Lmb and the gene scpB encoding C5a peptidase. According to the present results the group B streptococci isolated from horses showed characteristics of human isolates of this species.  相似文献

Intraspecific variation in the 16S rRNA genes of 17 Mycoplasma agalactiae and eight Mycoplasma bovis isolates was investigated to determine the degree of sequence variation in these two species and to determine whether the polymorphisms in the 16S rRNA genes could be used for the construction of an evolutionary tree and as epidemiological markers. A high degree of variation was found within isolates (between operons) and between isolates of both species. In contrast to M. capripneumoniae no distinct evolutionary pattern could be seen, probably because there are functional systems for gene conversion in M. agalactiae and M. bovis. However, the non-European isolates of M. agalactiae shared three characteristic nucleotides and European isolates from the same or neighbouring countries were very similar. Differences within isolates included both polymorphic positions and sequence length differences between operons. The amount of variation within isolates of the respective species ranged from zero to seven polymorphisms for M. agalactiae and from zero to four polymorphisms for M. bovis. The high degree of variation suggests the potential for misdiagnosis of species in diagnostic PCR assays based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences. All isolates of both species had a thymidine in position 912 (E. coli numbering) that causes streptomycin resistance in several bacterial species and which is characteristic for the members of the hominis group. As expected, when five M. agalactiae and three M. bovis isolates were tested for streptomycin susceptibility, they all demonstrated streptomycin resistance. M. agalactiae and M. bovis were found to have high intraspecific variation in their 16S rRNA gene and the polymorphisms patterns indicate that gene conversion takes place.  相似文献

The present study was performed to investigate streptococci of serological group B obtained from various sources and group B streptococcal reference strains for serotype, hyaluronate lyase enzyme activity, the occurrence of the hylB gene and the insertion sequence IS1548. All group B streptococci were identified by cultural, biochemical, and serological properties and by polymerase chain reaction amplification of species-specific parts of the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region, the 16S rRNA gene and the CAMP-factor (cfb) gene. Of the 73 group B streptococci investigated, 59 strains displayed hyaluronate lyase enzyme activity. All hyaluronate-lyase-positive strains and three phenotypically hyaluronate-lyase-negative strains had a hylB gene with an amplicon size of 3.3kb. Eleven of the 14 phenotypically hyaluronate-lyase-negative strains generated a hylB gene PCR product with a size of 4.6kb, and 10 of these strains displayed a IS1548 amplicon with a size of 0.98kb. The hyaluronate-lyase-negative isolates were mainly observed among group B streptococci of serotype III/Rib. All strains harbouring IS1548 had an additional copy of IS1548 located downstream of the C5a peptidase (scpB) gene.  相似文献

In the present study three phenotypically CAMP-negative Streptococcus agalactiae, isolated from three cows with mastitis, were characterized by molecular analysis. An identification of the S. agalactiae was performed by conventional methods and by PCR amplification of species specific parts of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region. In addition all three phenotypically CAMP-negative isolates harboured a normal sized CAMP-factor encoding cfb gene indicating a reduced expression of CAMP-factor or a gene defect elsewhere along the pathway of expression. The clonal identity of the three isolates could be demonstrated by macrorestriction analysis of their chromosomal DNA.  相似文献

AIM: To develop a real-time PCR for the detection of Mycoplasma agalactiae, using PCR primers targeting the ma-mp81 gene. METHODS: A group of 15 M. agalactiae isolates, 21 other Mycoplasma spp. isolates and 21 other bacterial isolates was used in evaluation of the assay. RESULTS: All M. agalactiae isolates were detected by the assay and none of the non-target isolates was amplified. The analytical detection limit of the assay was 10 fg of purified genomic DNA and 104 cfu/ml milk inoculated with M. agalactiae. When applied to goat-milk samples collected from three herds free of M. agalactiae infection, the assay had a specificity of 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The assay would be useful in a diagnostic laboratory, providing specific, sensitive and rapid detection of M. agalactiae.  相似文献

Streptococcus agalactiae remains an important pathogen of dairy herds in Québec, but data about antigenic characteristics of this microorganism are sparse. This study was conducted to determine the variety of S. agalactiae serotypes in dairy herds in Québec. Two hundred and ninety-five isolates cultured from the milk of individual cows from 7 regions of Québec were serotyped. Sixty-two percent of the isolates were untypable. Among the 38% of typeable isolates, serotype III was found most frequently. In conclusion, the heterogeneity found among antigenic determinants of isolates from bovine milk suggests that an immunological method for the detection of S. agalactiae performed directly on bovine milk would not be a practical approach.  相似文献

An epidemiological investigation of a calf rearing premises and a closely associated dairy herd was carried out after the isolation of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi B variant Java phage type 3b variant 2 from clinically diseased calves on the premises. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphonamides, tetracyclines, trimethoprim and cefoperazone. The organism was widespread on the calf unit and was also recovered from the dairy premises, mainly from groups of weaned calves. The investigation was extended to 10 epidemiologically linked farms but no S Java was isolated from any of the 40 to 60 samples collected from each premises. Molecular studies showed that the S Java isolates were genetically most similar to isolates from cases of human disease associated with ornamental fish tanks or feed. Long PCR and resistance gene profiling identified a resistance island which was indistinguishable from the human 'fish tank' strain of S Java and animal and human epidemic strains of S Typhimurium DT104. The isolates were clearly distinguished from multi-resistant S Java strains commonly associated with continental poultry. This is the first report of S Java with this resistance pattern in Great Britain.  相似文献

Fecal samples were collected from 200 feeder-calves on farms in Tennessee, after assembly at a Tennessee auction market, and after transport to a Texas feedyard. A final fecal sample was collected from each calf after 30 days of feedyard confinement. The fecal samples were cultured for the presence of Salmonella spp. Salmonella isolates were serotyped and antimicrobial drug-resistance patterns determined. The number of calves fecal culture-positive for Salmonella spp increased from 0 on the Tennessee farms and auction market to 3/200 (1.5%) at entry into the Texas feedyard, and 16/200 (8%) after 30 days of feedyard confinement. Salmonella serotypes isolated and the number of isolates of each serotype were S reading (8), S cerro (4), S newbrunswick (3), S anatum (2), and S typhimurium (copenhagen; 2). All Salmonella isolates were resistant to 5 or more of 13 antimicrobial drugs tested. Salmonella reading isolates were resistant to 10 or 11 of 13 antimicrobial drugs. The results indicated that the calves could have been infected with Salmonella spp prior to or during the course of the study, and that marketing stress as they moved from farm through feedyard may have induced fecal excretion of salmonellae. In addition, the pattern of antimicrobial drug resistance in the Salmonella isolates was broad.  相似文献

Three swine commercial farms with high mortality rates in nursery pigs due to Streptococcus suis serotype 2 were studied. Brain samples from diseased animals were collected for a period of 6 to 10 mo and used to isolate the strain that was responsible for the mortality (virulent strain) in each farm. Tonsil swabs from piglets at 5, 10 and 15 d were taken to assess both total colonization and colonization by the virulent strain. The effect of sow vaccination against S. suis on colonization was evaluated in 1 of the farms. All suspect tonsil isolates were identified biochemically and then tested against serotype 2. The genomic patterns of serotype 2 isolates were compared to that of the virulent strain using Rep-PCR. Results showed that total colonization by S. suis occurred very early in the pigs' life, with most animals being colonized by weaning age. Prevalence of colonization by serotype 2 strains was much lower than total colonization. After comparing serotype 2 isolates with the virulent strains, only 1 tonsillar isolate had the same genomic pattern as the virulent strain and it belonged to a 4-week-old weaned pig. The genomic pattern of the virulent strain was not found in any tonsillar isolate from 15-day-old or younger pigs. Although limited by sample size, sow vaccination against S. suis increased total colonization at the same time significantly decreasing colonization by serotype 2 strains. Even though most pigs are colonized early in age by S. suis, colonization by the virulent strain is of low prevalence and delayed in time. This could constitute a risk factor for developing the disease later in time, because animals would be colonized when maternal immunity is no longer present, allowing the organism to become systemic.  相似文献

Specific detection by PCR of Streptococcus agalactiae in milk.   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The aim of this study was to develop a simple and specific method for direct detection of Streptococcus agalactiae from cow's milk. The method was based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using species-specific and universal primers derived from the 16S rRNA gene. The amplification product was verified by restriction endonuclease digest and sequencing. Specific identification was proven on a collection of 147 S. agalactiae isolates of bovine and human origin. In addition, 17 strains belonging to different bacterial species that potentially can be found in milk samples also tested negative. The PCR developed was used for direct detection of S. agalactiae in milk, using for the first time with gram-positive bacteria the nucleic acid-binding properties of diatomaceous earth. The test, which has high specificity, high sensitivity (100 cfu/mL), and can be carried out in less than 24 h, represents an innovative diagnostic tool for the detection of S. agalactiae in milk.  相似文献

A total of 178 Escherichia coli isolates from diarrheic and healthy rabbits in the S?o Paulo State (Brazil) were serobiotyped and investigated by PCR for the presence of virulence genes. Among the 90 (50.6%) isolates which possessed the eae gene, 74 were from diarrheic animals and all but one encoded intimin beta. Sixty five (72.2%) of the eae+ isolates had insertion of the locus of enterocyte effacement locus in the pheU locus, 11 (12.2%) in the selC and 14 (15.6%) did not insert in either of these loci. All isolates were negative for genes of the E. coli enterotoxins, Stx1, Stx2, CNF1, CNF2 and EHEC hemolysin. The O132:H2 serotype was dominant, being present in 63 isolates (70%) of the 90 eae+ isolates, and 57 of the 63 isolates of this serotype belonged to biotype 30. PCR detected the gene for AF/R2 fimbriae in 75 (83.3%) of the 90 eae+ isolates. Adherence to HeLa cells was best detected following 6h incubation and a positive fluorescence actin staining (FAS) test was given by 52 isolates. These data show that isolates of E. coli associated with diarrhea in rabbits in Brazil possess the genotype and phenotype typically associated with rabbit enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). We conclude that EPEC that possess the eae gene are a common cause of diarrhea in Brazilian rabbit farms and that the pathogenic eae+ AF/R2+ isolates of O132:H2:B30 serobiotype are especially predominant.  相似文献

Streptococcus suis is an important pathogen of swine, causing meningitis, arthritis, polyserositis, septicemia, and sudden death in weaning piglets as well as fattening pigs. Recently, 3 molecular tests have been developed in our laboratory: a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) assay for the detection of S. suis species and serotypes 2 and 1/2, and 2 molecular typing methods, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and an approach based on PCR amplification of a fragment of rRNA genes, including a part of the 16S and 23S genes and the 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region (ISR), followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis (ISR-RFLP). In the present study, we used these tests to analyze tonsil samples from clinically healthy pigs and to identify individual isolates of S. suis during epidemiologic investigations of 8 related herds with a history of septicemia caused by S. suis serotype 2. Capsular typing showed that 58% of the strains were nontypable. Of the 17 serotypes present, serotype 22 was the most prevalent. In the 7 farms without clinical signs on the day of sampling, we detected S. suis serotype 2 or 1/2, or both, in less than 5% of the pigs by m-PCR or by bacteriologic culture. In the 8th farm, on which 2 pigs had clinical signs of septicemia on the day of sampling, we detected S. suis serotype 2 or 1/2, or both, by m-PCR in the tonsils of 40% of fattening pigs (21 wk old) that lacked symptoms. Molecular typing of the serotype 2 strains showed a common origin of contamination in these herds, given that 1 pattern (C1) was detected in the isolates from 6 of the 8 herds. However, up to 4 patterns were associated with septicemia and sudden death. Several patterns of S. suis serotype 2 can be responsible for disease in the same herd. These molecular tools may be useful for confident studies of the transmission of S. suis, thereby contributing to the control of S. suis infection.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated the presence of naturally acquired antibodies against Streptococcus agalactiae in normal bovine serum (NBS). In milk wheys, ELISA values were much lower than in sera. Pre-colostral calf serum (PCS) was shown to lack antibodies to type II and III S. agalactiae. The opsonic requirements of 10 human and 10 bovine strains were investigated by evaluating the phagocytosis-induced reduction of the incorporation of radiolabeled thymidine by streptococci. Antibodies present in NBS were required for the efficient ingestion of both human and bovine isolates type II by bovine granulocytes. Three out of five type III bovine isolates were opsonized in the absence of specific antibodies (opsonization by PCS) and type II and III bovine isolates did not require complement opsonization. By contrast, inactivation of complement reduced phagocytosis of human isolates and only one type III strain of human origin was opsonized by PCS. These findings suggest that human isolates had higher opsonic requirements. The phagocytic killing of 6 type III strains (5 mastitis isolates and the reference typing strain) was investigated. Opsonization by normal serum enabled bovine blood granulocytes to ingest and kill S. agalactiae. Nevertheless, greater than or equal to 35% of bacteria remained viable at the end of the phagocytosis incubation in 10% NBS. Heat treatment of serum decreased the efficacy of killing for only 3 of the 6 tested strains. An IgG2 fraction of normal adult bovine serum promoted active ingestion, which was still increased in the presence of PCS. Normal wheys displayed large variations in their ability to promote ingestion of S. agalactiae by blood granulocytes. The promoting effect was systematically less than that of serum from the same cow, and this can be related to the lower ELISA values found in wheys.  相似文献

Using a sentinel bird approach, two field isolates of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) were isolated from broiler farms in two major broiler-producing areas of the state of Georgia. These farms had a history of subclinical IBD associated with respiratory problems and poor performance. Isolates designated as U-28 and 3212 were isolated using specific-pathogen-free chicken embryos and chicken embryo bursal cells. These isolates were identified by means of agar gel precipitation and virus-neutralization tests, direct immunofluorescence, histopathology, and electron microscopy. Isolates U-28 and 3212 appear to differ in antigenicity and pathogenicity from previously known serotype I IBDV isolates. In evaluating the extent of bursal damage caused by these field isolates, an association was found between the bursa of Fabricius/body weight index, histopathology scoring of atrophy, and morphometric analysis of the total follicle area.  相似文献
