Periplasmic expression and one-step purification of urease subunit B of Helicobacter pylori

UreB is one of the urease subunits of Helicobacter pylori and can be used as an excellent antigen candidate for H. pylori vaccination. Easy access to highly purified UreB protein, facilitate advances in therapeutic or preventive strategies. To achieve a simplified purification procedure, the present report represents a novel method of producing recombinant urease subunit B extracellularly. ureB gene from 26,695 standard strain was amplified by PCR and cloned into pET-26b(+) expression vector. UreB was expressed as a soluble, N-terminal pelB and C-terminal hexahistidine-tagged fusion protein (UreB-6His) and secreted into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. Expression of the recombinant UreB in E. coli BL21 (DE3) was induced by isopropylthio-β-d-galactoside (IPTG). Expression of UreB was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and western blot analysis using anti-His monoclonal antibody. UreB-6His protein was extracted from the periplasm by osmotic shock treatment and was purified in one step by Nickel affinity chromatography. In conclusion, the present protocol is easier to perform; more time effective and low cost than earlier methods.     

Optimized Expression of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Helicobacter pylori</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">ureB</Emphasis> Gene in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lactococcus lactis</Emphasis> Nisin-Controlled Gene Expression (NICE) System and Experimental Study of Its Immunoreactivity

In the development of an oral vaccine against Helicobacter pylori, H. pylori urease subunit B (UreB) was expressed in a food-grade delivery vehicle, Lactococcus lactis NZ3900. The ureB gene (Genbank accession no. FJ436980) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from MEL-Hp27. The PCR-amplified ureB gene was cloned in the E. coli–L. lactis shuttle vector pNZ8110 and transformed into E. coli MC1061. After the transformant had been identified, the recombinant plasmid was purified and electrotransformed into L. lactis NZ3900. The conditions of UreB expression in the L. lactis transformant were optimized by orthogonal experiment. The maltose binding protein (MBP)-UreB fusion protein expressed by TB₁/pMAL-c2X-ureB was used to cultivate mice polyclonal anti-UreB serum after purification by the amylose prepacked column. The Western blot method was adopted to confirm whether the UreB expressed by L. lactis transformant had immunoreactivity. The optimized conditions for UreB expression were as follows. Nisin 40 ng/ml was added to the medium when the recombinant grew to OD₆₀₀≈0.30–0.40 and the induction time lasted 5 h. As a result, the maximum yield of UreB was 27.26 μg/mL of medium, and the maximum percentage of UreB in cell extracts of the L. lactis transformant reached its peak at 20.19%. Western blot analysis showed that the UreB protein expressed by L. lactis transformant had favorable immunoreactivity. All these results make an appealing case for construction of the food-grade vaccine for H. pylori.

Molecular Identification of Aeromonas and Coliform Bacteria Isolated on m Endo Media from Lake Erie Waters

Summary Bacteria from recreational waters collected from two Lake Erie beaches in Dunkirk, New York were plated onto m Endo LES media. The 16S rRNA gene was then amplified from coliform and non-coliform bacteria using the polymerase chain reaction. The PCR products were characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. A total of 8 RFLP groups were identified from the analysis of 920 samples and selected PCR products from each group were sequenced. The DNA sequence analysis indicated that more than half of the bacteria identified as coliforms on the m Endo plates belonged to the genus Aeromonas from the family Aeromonadaceae. Most of the remaining coliforms were from the Enterobacteriaceae. The data indicate that m Endo agar plates allow the growth of non-coliform bacteria, especially Aeromonas species.

Sampling and Pooling Methods for Capturing Herd Level Antibiotic Resistance in Swine Feces using qPCR and CFU Approaches

The aim of this article was to define the sampling level and method combination that captures antibiotic resistance at pig herd level utilizing qPCR antibiotic resistance gene quantification and culture-based quantification of antibiotic resistant coliform indicator bacteria. Fourteen qPCR assays for commonly detected antibiotic resistance genes were developed, and used to quantify antibiotic resistance genes in total DNA from swine fecal samples that were obtained using different sampling and pooling methods. In parallel, the number of antibiotic resistant coliform indicator bacteria was determined in the same swine fecal samples. The results showed that the qPCR assays were capable of detecting differences in antibiotic resistance levels in individual animals that the coliform bacteria colony forming units (CFU) could not. Also, the qPCR assays more accurately quantified antibiotic resistance genes when comparing individual sampling and pooling methods. qPCR on pooled samples was found to be a good representative for the general resistance level in a pig herd compared to the coliform CFU counts. It had significantly reduced relative standard deviations compared to coliform CFU counts in the same samples, and therefore differences in antibiotic resistance levels between samples were more readily detected. To our knowledge, this is the first study to describe sampling and pooling methods for qPCR quantification of antibiotic resistance genes in total DNA extracted from swine feces.
