温度对溶藻弧菌HY9901株致病性相关蛋白的调控

将溶藻弧菌HY9901株置于15℃、20℃、28℃、37℃四个温度下培养,18h时分别测定细菌含量,胞外蛋白酶（Extracelluar protease, ECPase）表达量以及胞外产物（Extracellular product, ECP）对动物的致死性。结果表明,随着温度升高, 菌液浓度、ECPase的活性以及ECP对小鼠和红笛鲷的致死率先升高后下降。28℃培养的细菌浓度、ECPase的活性以及ECP对小鼠和红笛鲷的致死率均为最大。用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（SDS-PAGE）分析不同温度培养下细菌的ECP和外膜蛋白(Outer membrane protein, OMP),结果显示,不同温度培养的溶藻弧菌ECP和OMP电泳图谱不同。溶藻弧菌主要ECP的分子量为70kD和62kD。ECP 70kD在20℃时的表达量最大,而28℃时ECP 62 kD的蛋白浓度最高。45kD OMP随着温度升高,其合成量增大,28℃时达最大值;而40kD和34kD OMP则随着温度的升高而减弱。通过研究电泳纯化的ECP 62kD和ECP 70kD的酶活性和致死试验,证明ECP 62kD具有很强的酶活性和毒性, 而ECP 70kD仅具有弱的酶活性和毒性。     

副溶血弧菌海产品和临床分离株的表型及溶血素相关基因分析

副溶血弧菌是(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)常见的食源性病原菌,可污染多种水产品,并引起人的食物中毒,其致病性与溶血素密切相关,如直接耐热溶血素(TDH)、TDH-相关溶血素(TRH)、不耐热溶血素(TLH)。用PCR方法对分离自浙江省部分地区的副溶血弧菌临床和海产品分离株的3种溶血素基因进行检测。结果表明,所有副溶血弧菌菌株均可检测到tlh基因;11株临床分离株均检测到tdh基因,而42株水产品分离株中只有1株检出tdh基因,携带tdh的分离株神奈川试验(KP)均为阳性。所有分离菌株中均未检测到trh基因以及其尿素酶试验呈阴性,由此可知trh基因可能与尿素酶基因连锁。副溶血弧菌分离株中致病性相关毒力因子TDH的阳性率极低,然而副溶血弧菌性食物中毒发生率较高,它们之间的关系及其发病机制还有待深入研究。

溶藻弧菌的毒力相关基因及其对小鼠的致病力

【目的】通过多重PCR检测和小鼠动物实验,对溶藻弧菌环境分离株的毒力因子进行评估,以期获得较强致病菌株和弱致病菌株之间的差别,并初步探讨该菌毒力因子对小鼠的致病机理。【方法】采用多重PCR体系检测毒力相关基因,我妻氏血平板溶血实验和平板酶活实验检测溶藻弧菌株的溶血素和胞外酶;以昆明小白鼠为实验动物,攻毒方式为灌胃和腹腔注射,根据小鼠的致病症状和死亡情况来分析和对比溶藻弧菌的胞外分泌物以及菌体本身的毒性。【结果】10株溶藻弧菌产淀粉酶、卵磷脂酶的比例为100%,脂肪酶、明胶酶次之(为70%),脲酶均未被检出;神奈川现象阳性菌株率为60%。毒力基因检测的结果显示10株溶藻弧菌中toxR、Collagenase、tlh、FlaA、ompW、AspA、fur这些与毒力有关的基因均有分布,而toxS、trh、tdh、UreR并未检出。10株溶藻弧菌中的VA009对小鼠显示了较强的致病性,能造成腹腔积液,经腹腔注射感染此菌后7 d内死亡率高达80%。【结论】不同的溶藻弧菌对小鼠的致病性存在较大差异,溶藻弧菌菌体本身比胞外分泌物对其毒性的贡献要大,而副溶血弧菌的毒性则由其胞外分泌物起主要作用;比较我们筛选出的强致病菌株与弱致病菌株,其上述毒力基因的分布并没有差别,说明溶藻弧菌可能存在一套与副溶血弧菌不同的独立的毒力基因系统。

A rapid detection of circulating antigens of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs by a dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

This report describes a dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA) for detecting circulating antigens in the sera of dogs infected with Dirofilaria immitis (D. immitis). Circulating D. immitis antigens could be detected in 24 of 25 infected dogs. The remaining animal had two immature worms. However, non-infected dogs and dogs infected with other parasites were all negative. Few cross-reactions to different parasite antigens were observed. The advantages of the Dot-ELISA include; 1) there is no need for pretreatment and dilution of sera and samples could be immediately bound to nitrocellulose paper set into microfiltration apparatus, 2) this assay could be carried out within 2 h at room temperature, 3) the resulting enzyme-reaction could be measured by both visual observation and densitometric reading.

Antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenetic factors of hospital strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients treated in a resuscitation unit]

Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from patients treated in the Centre of Thermal Affections in 1985-1989. It was shown that 72.9, 59.3, 33.8 and 54.2 per cent of the isolates were sensitive to cefotaxime, tobramycin, gentamicin and polymyxin, respectively. The study of pathogenicity factors of the isolates revealed that 83 per cent of the strains produced thermolabile enterotoxin, 79.6 per cent of the strains had adhesive activity and 71.1 per cent of the strains produced hemolysin. The study detected combinations of various pathogenicity factors. 42.3 per cent of the isolates had both adhesive and enterotoxigenic properties. Adhesiveness and hemolytic activity were shown by 13.5 per cent of the strains. 16.9 per cent of the strains produced both enterotoxin and hemolysin. Adhesive activity, enterotoxigenicity and hemolysin production were observed in 6.7 per cent of the strains. It was noted that the strains of P. aeruginosa resistant to polymyxin mainly produced enterotoxin (18.6 per cent) and those resistant to cefotaxime had adhesive activity (34.0 per cent).

为了研究分析国内致病性嗜水气单胞菌的毒力因子的分布及与致病性的相关性及其防治,选取5种主要毒力因子气溶素(aerA)、溶血素(hlyA)、丝氨酸蛋白酶(ahpA)、抗金属蛋白酶(ast)、肠毒素(altA)设计5对特异性引物,用PCR方法进行检测,采用急性毒性实验方法测定菌株对异育银鲫的半数致死量(50%lethal dose,LD50),细菌药物敏感试验纸片扩散(K-B)法检测对抗生素的敏感性,结果显示:除菌株Hong12的LD50约为109 cfu,毒力弱外,其他毒力均较强,LD50均在106 cfu左右。aerA、ahpA、hlyA、altA、ast 5种毒力基因的携带率分别为77.8%、88.9%、100%、100%、77.8%。通过比较嗜水气单胞菌毒力基因的分布情况与其对鲫鱼致病性试验结果可以发现,aerA、ahpA为嗜水气单胞菌致病的主要毒力因子,与致病性存在相关性,ast与致病力存在一定相关性,但不是主要毒力因子,hlyA、altA与致病性不存在相关性。9株嗜水气单胞菌对青霉素、羧苄青霉素、万古霉素不敏感,对复合磺胺、头孢噻肟、利福平中毒敏感,对呋喃妥因、氯霉素、四环素、氧氟沙星高度敏感。     

两种NC膜条上马铃薯A病毒DAS-ELISA检测研究

基于双抗体夹心ELISA反应原理,在两种不同加工成形的硝酸纤维素膜条(NC strip)上进行了马铃薯A病毒(PVA)的检测研究,并以酶标板ELISA做参比。结果表明,在NC条-2(NC strip-2)上的检测灵敏度与酶标板ELISA相当,而反应试剂的用量仅为酶标板ELISA的百分之一;NC条-1(NC strip-1)由于加样点间易发生交叉污染而不适合进行ELISA检测。应用NC条-2可稳定进行PVA的ELISA检测,为进一步开展微流体斑点免疫检测研究奠定了基础。     

A Fungal Pathogen of Amphibians,Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis,Attenuates in Pathogenicity with In Vitro Passages

Laboratory investigations into the amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), have accelerated recently, given the pathogen’s role in causing the global decline and extinction of amphibians. Studies in which host animals were exposed to Bd have largely assumed that lab-maintained pathogen cultures retained the infective and pathogenic properties of wild isolates. Attenuated pathogenicity is common in artificially maintained cultures of other pathogenic fungi, but to date, it is unknown whether, and to what degree, Bd might change in culture. We compared zoospore production over time in two samples of a single Bd isolate having different passage histories: one maintained in artificial media for more than six years (JEL427-P39), and one recently thawed from cryopreserved stock (JEL427-P9). In a common garden experiment, we then exposed two different amphibian species, Eleutherodactylus coqui and Atelopus zeteki, to both cultures to test whether Bd attenuates in pathogenicity with in vitro passages. The culture with the shorter passage history, JEL427-P9, had significantly greater zoospore densities over time compared to JEL427-P39. This difference in zoospore production was associated with a difference in pathogenicity for a susceptible amphibian species, indicating that fecundity may be an important virulence factor for Bd. In the 130-day experiment, Atelopus zeteki frogs exposed to the JEL427-P9 culture experienced higher average infection intensity and 100% mortality, compared with 60% mortality for frogs exposed to JEL427-P39. This effect was not observed with Eleutherodactylus coqui, which was able to clear infection. We hypothesize that the differences in phenotypic performance observed with Atelopus zeteki are rooted in changes of the Bd genome. Future investigations enabled by this study will focus on the underlying mechanisms of Bd pathogenicity.

Development of a multiplex real-time PCR assay with an internal amplification control for the detection of total and pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria in oysters

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an estuarine bacterium that is the leading cause of shellfish-associated cases of bacterial gastroenteritis in the United States. Our laboratory developed a real-time multiplex PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of the thermolabile hemolysin (tlh), thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh), and thermostable-related hemolysin (trh) genes of V. parahaemolyticus. The tlh gene is a species-specific marker, while the tdh and trh genes are pathogenicity markers. An internal amplification control (IAC) was incorporated to ensure PCR integrity and eliminate false-negative reporting. The assay was tested for specificity against >150 strains representing eight bacterial species. Only V. parahaemolyticus strains possessing the appropriate target genes generated a fluorescent signal, except for a late tdh signal generated by three strains of V. hollisae. The multiplex assay detected <10 CFU/reaction of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus in the presence of >10(4) CFU/reaction of total V. parahaemolyticus bacteria. The real-time PCR assay was utilized with a most-probable-number format, and its results were compared to standard V. parahaemolyticus isolation methodology during an environmental survey of Alaskan oysters. The IAC was occasionally inhibited by the oyster matrix, and this usually corresponded to negative results for V. parahaemolyticus targets. V. parahaemolyticus tlh, tdh, and trh were detected in 44, 44, and 52% of the oyster samples, respectively. V. parahaemolyticus was isolated from 33% of the samples, and tdh(+) and trh(+) strains were isolated from 19 and 26%, respectively. These results demonstrate the utility of the real-time PCR assay in environmental surveys and its possible application to outbreak investigations for the detection of total and pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus.
