Detection of rodent Helicobacter spp. by use of fluorogenic nuclease polymerase chain reaction assays

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis is the standard method for detection of Helicobacter spp. infections in laboratory rodents, with H. hepaticus, H. bilis, and H. typhlonius considered primary pathogens. Fluorogenic nuclease PCR assays that detect all known rodent Helicobacter spp., or that specifically detect H. hepaticus, H. bilis, or H. typhlonius were developed to eliminate post-PCR processing, enhance specificity, and provide quantitative data on starting template concentration. Each fluorogenic PCR assay detected a minimum of 10 copies of target template, had comparable or greater sensitivity when compared directly with corollary gel detection PCR assays, and detected only targeted species when numerous Helicobacter spp. and other enteric bacteria were analyzed. Fluorogenic nuclease PCR analysis of fecal DNA samples obtained from numerous laboratory mice sources detected all samples with positive results by use of Helicobacter spp., H. hepaticus, H. bilis, and/or H. typhlonius gel detection PCR analysis, except for one sample that had positive results by H. typhlonius gel detection PCR but negative results by H. typhlonius fluorogenic nuclease PCR analysis. Among fecal DNA samples that were Helicobacter spp. negative by use of all gel detection PCR assays, the fluorogenic nuclease PCR assays detected target template in only one sample that was positive by use of the Helicobacter spp. and the H. bilis fluorogenic nuclease PCR assays. In conclusion, fluorogenic nuclease PCR assays provide sensitive, specific, and high-throughput diagnostic assays for detection of Helicobacter spp., H. hepaticus, H. bilis, and H. typhlonius in laboratory rodents, and the quantitative data generated by these assays make them potentially useful for bacterial load determination.     

Helicobacter bilis/Helicobacter rodentium co-infection associated with diarrhea in a colony of scid mice

An outbreak of diarrhea spanning 3 months occurred in a breeding colony of scid/Trp53 knockout mice. Approximately a third of the 150 mice were clinically affected, with signs ranging from mucoid or watery diarrhea to severe hemorrhagic diarrhea with mortality. Helicobacter bilis and the newly recognized urease-negative organism H. rodentium were isolated from microaerobic culture of feces or cecal specimens from affected mice. Dual infection with H. bilis and H. rodentium were confirmed by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in several animals. Both Helicobacter species rapidly colonized immunocompetent sentinel mice exposed to bedding from cages containing affected mice, but the sentinel remained asymptomatic. Mice with diarrhea had multifocal to segmental proliferative typhlitis, colitis, and proctitis. Several affected mice had multifocal mucosal necrosis with a few focal ulcers in the cecum, colon, and rectum. Mice with diarrhea were treated with antibiotic food wafers (1.5 mg of amoxicillin, 0.69 mg of metronidazole, and 0.185 mg of bismuth/mouse per day) previously shown to eradicate H. hepaticus in immunocompetent mice. Antibiotic treatment resulted in resolution of diarrhea, but not eradication of H. bilis and H. rodentium; mice continued to have positive PCR results after a 2-week treatment regimen, and clinical signs of diarrhea returned in some mice when treatment was suspended. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of natural infection with either H. bilis and/or H. rodentium causing acute diarrheal disease and suggests that H. bilis and/or H. rodentium can be an important pathogen for scid mice.     

Pathogenicity of Helicobacter rodentium in A/JCr and SCID mice

Helicobacter rodentium was first recognized as a potential pathogen when it was isolated, along with Helicobacter bilis, from a colony of scid/Trp53 knockout mice with diarrhea. Clinical disease in these mice was more severe than that previously reported in mice infected with H. bilis alone, thus suggesting that H. rodentium contributed to the pathogenesis of enteritis. The purpose of the study reported here was to address two questions: is H. rodentium pathogenic in mice, and when co-infection with a pathogenic helicobacter occurs, does H. rodentium augment disease? To this end, A/JCr and C.B-17/IcrCrl-scidBr mice were inoculated with H. rodentium and/or H. hepaticus. Twelve weeks after inoculation, mice were euthanized. The cecum and liver were evaluated microscopically for evidence of disease. Cecal interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), interleukin 10 (IL-10), and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA values were measured as an indicator of mucosal immune response. Hepatic lesions were not identified in mice mono-infected with H. rodentium; likewise, cecal lesion scores were not significantly different from those of uninfected controls. With the exception of an increased IL-10 mRNA value in SCID mice, mean immune-related gene expression in H. rodentium mono-infected and uninfected control mice was not significantly different. In contrast, all mice infected with H. hepaticus developed moderate to severe hepatitis, significant increase in cecal lesion scores, and increased immune-related gene expression. The C.B-17/IcrCrl-scidBr mice co-infected with H. hepaticus and H. rodentium had liquid cecal contents and low terminal body weight. Further, compared with mice infected with H. hepaticus alone, co-infection was associated with significant increases of IL-10, MIP-1alpha, and IP-10 mRNA values in C.B-17/IcrCrl-scidBr and IFN-gamma and MIP-1alpha mRNA values in A/JCr mice. These results suggested that H. rodentium alone does not cause hepatitis or enteritis in A/JCr or C.B-17/IcrCrl-scidBr mice; however, co-infection with H. hepaticus and H. rodentium was associated with augmented cecal gene expression and clinical manifestation of disease in immunodeficient mice.

Immunoblot Analysis as an Alternative Method to Diagnose Enterohepatic Helicobacter Infections

Introduction: Enterohepatic Helicobacter species have been associated with chronic infections of the hepatobiliary tract and lower bowel in naturally and experimentally infected mice, Helicobacter -infected animals should thus not be used in studies of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Helicobacter species induce inflammation and modulate host immune responses, thus emphasizing the need to diagnose these infections in laboratory animals.
Materials and Methods: An immunoblot assay was developed to analyze antibodies to enterohepatic Helicobacter species in naturally colonized laboratory mouse colonies. We evaluated the serum antibody responses to cell surface proteins of H. bilis, H. hepaticus , and H. ganmani in 188 mouse sera from four different university animal facilities. Lower bowel tissue specimens from 56 of these animals were available and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) and the results compared with matched immunoblot patterns.
Results: Specific antibody reactivity to H. bilis was detected in 8 of 186 (4.3%) sera, to H. hepaticus in 45 of 184 (24%) sera, and to H. ganmani in 51 of 188 (27%) of tested sera. These results were compared with PCR-DGGE analyses of tissue samples of corresponding animals, and concordance between the two diagnostic tests was found in 96% for H . bilis , in 91% for H. hepaticus, and in 82% for H. ganmani . The PCR-DGGE also detected DNA of H. typhlonius, H. sp. flexispira, and H. rodentium .
Conclusions: Infection with enterohepatic species was common in the laboratory mouse colonies tested, independent of strain and stock. Immunoblot analysis seems to be a promising diagnostic tool to monitor enterohepatic Helicobacter species infections of laboratory rodents.     

A multiplex nested PCR assay for simultaneous detection of Corchorus golden mosaic virus and a phytoplasma in white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.)

A multiplex nested PCR assay was developed by optimizing reaction components and reaction cycling parameters for simultaneous detection of Corchorus golden mosaic virus (CoGMV) and a phytoplasma (Group 16Sr V‐C) causing little leaf and bunchy top in white jute (Corchorus capsularis). Three sets of specific primers viz. a CoGMV specific (DNA‐A region) primer, a 16S rDNA universal primer pair P1/P7 and nested primer pair R16F2n/R2 for phytoplasmas were used. The concentrations of the PCR components such as primers, MgCl₂, Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs and PCR conditions including annealing temperature and amplification cycles were examined and optimized. Expected fragments of 1 kb (CoGMV), 674 bp (phytoplasma) and 370 bp (nested R16F2n/R2) were successfully amplified by this multiplex nested PCR system ensuring simultaneous, sensitive and specific detection of the phytoplasma and the virus. The multiplex nested PCR provides a sensitive, rapid and low‐cost method for simultaneous detection of jute little leaf phytoplasma and CoGMV. Based on BLASTn analyses, the phytoplasma was found to belong to the Group 16Sr V‐C.

Significance and Impact of the Study

Incidence of phytoplasma diseases is increasing worldwide and particularly in the tropical and subtropical world. Co‐infection of phytoplasma and virus(s) is also common. Therefore, use of single primer PCR in detecting these pathogens would require more time and effort, whereas multiplex PCR involving several pairs of primers saves time and reduces cost. In this study, we have developed a multiplex nested PCR assay that provides more sensitive and specific detection of Corchorus golden mosaic virus (CoGMV) and a phytoplasma in white jute simultaneously. It is the first report of simultaneous detection of CoGMV and a phytoplasma in Corchorus capsularis by multiplex nested PCR.
