A rapid PCR approach was developed to detect Porphyromonas gulae strains from subgingival samples of dogs with and with periodontitis. The presence of P. gulae was observed in 92% and 56%, respectively, in dogs with and without periodontitis. The new primer pair was specific to detect this microorganism, and this technique could be used to evaluate a correlation between periodontitis and P. gulae in companion animals. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to analyse individual polar lipid analogues, within each lipid family present, of fusobacteria using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS). Polar lipid extracts were prepared, washed and dried. Samples, dispersed in a matrix of m -nitrobenzyl alcohol, were analysed by negative ion FAB-MS using xenon as the reagent gas. Major anion peaks observed in the low mass region of mass/charge (m/z), 211, 221, 225, 227, 239, 241, 249, 251, 253, 255, 273, 277, 279, 281, 289 and 291, were consistent with the presence of C13:1 , C14:3 , C14:1 , C14:0 , C15:1 , C15:0 , C16:3 , C16:2 , C16:1 , C16:0 , unknown, C18:3 , C18:2 , C18:1 , unknown and C19:3 carboxylate anions. In the high mass region, major anion peaks observed with m/z 644, 646, 648, 660, 662, 672, 673, 674, 686, 688, 689, 690, 698, 700, 701, 703, 714, 716, 717 and 719 were consistent with the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (29:2), PE (29:1), PE (29:0), PE (30:1), PE (30:0), PE (31:2), first isotope of PE (31:2), PE (31:1), PE (32:2), PE (32:1), first isotope peak of PE (32:1), PE (30:0), PE (33:3), PE (33:2), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) (31:3), PG (31:2), PE (34:2), PE (34:1), PG (32:2) and PG (32:1). We conclude that FAB-MS can provide data on individual analogues of PE and PG from Fusobacterium spp. not readily obtained by other means. Furthermore, the phospholipid profile is diagnostic for the genus. 相似文献

Serum antibody titers against the lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum were compared between 9 periodontitis patients and 24 healthy persons. The IgG titers against the LPSs of P. gingivalis ATCC 33277(T) and W50 were clearly higher in the patients than in the healthy persons. However, IgM titers against the LPSs of P. gingivalis strains were relatively low, and no significant difference was observed between the patients and healthy persons. On the other hand, IgG and IgM titers against the LPS of Fusobacterium nucleatum JCM 8532(T) in some patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy persons, although the difference in IgG titers was not large compared to that of the LPS of P. gingivalis. These results suggest that the antibody measurement of patients' sera against the LPS of periodontal bacteria can be applied for the diagnosis of periodontitis. 相似文献

Abstract β-Lactamase production by 98 Porphyromonas strains was investigated by the nitrocefin (chromogenic cephalosporin) test. Human isolates of P. gingivalis (91), P. endodontalis (2), and P. asaccharolytica (1) were tested, with four closely related Porphyromonas spp. of animal origin and four reference strains. The in vitro susceptibility of 64 P. gingivalis strains was investigated on Brucella blood agar by the E test. None of the human Porphyromonas isolates tested produced β-lactamase, but one Porphyromonas strain of animal origin, most closely resembling P. endodontalis , produced β-lactamase. P. gingivalis was susceptible to almost all of the drugs tested: benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, cefaclor, cefuroxime, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin; all strains were inhibited at 0.016 μg/ml, 0.023 μg/ml, 0.315 μg/ml, 0.064 μg/ml, 0.19 μg/ml, 0.016 μg/ml, 0.094 μg/ml, 0.047 μg/ml, 0.023 μg/ml, and 0.75 μg/ml of these drugs, respectively. Cotrimoxazole exhibited variable efficacy against P. gingivalis ; the range of MICs was 0.1095-32.0 μg/ml. The results indicate that β-lactamase production is currently not a problem amongst clinical isolates of P. gingivalis and strains are susceptible to most antimicrobial agents. 相似文献

Peptostreptococcus micros coaggregates with Fusobacterium nucleatum and non-encapsulated Porphyromonas gingivalis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated that Staphylococcus aureus may be internalized and survive in a bovine mammary epithelial cell line. We report here the presence of internalized and living S. aureus in alveolar cells and macrophages in milk samples of bovine mastitis. We used fluorochrome labeled monoclonal antibodies, specifically recognizing surface cell markers of bovine alveolar cells and macrophages, to isolate these two types of cells using fluorescence activated cell sorting. Extracellular bacteria and DNA were previously eliminated to exclude possible contamination. In order to detect intracellular bacterial DNA inside the isolated cells, we used PCR amplification of bacterial DNA and the PCR products were analyzed by Southern blot with a specific probe for Staphylococcus. The results showed the presence of Staphylococcus DNA inside the two isolated populations of cells, confirming that S. aureus could penetrate alveolar cells and macrophages. The demonstration of the presence of intracellular living S. aureus was determined by bacteriological culture of positive samples plated onto blood agar plates and by its further identification. Our results showed for the first time that living S. aureus and its DNA are present in both alveolar cells and macrophages in chronically infected cow milk. 相似文献

Peptostreptococcus micros coaggregates with Fusobacterium nucleatum and non-encapsulated Porphyromonas gingivalis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Coaggregation is one of the potential colonization strategies of oral microorganisms, often involving fimbrial structures in the interactions. In this study, the coaggregation characteristics of the rough and smooth genotypes of the periodontal pathogen Peptostreptococcus micros were compared to investigate the role of the fibril-like structures of the rough genotype in coaggregation. Of the 11 oral species tested, only Fusobacterium nucleatum strains and non-encapsulated Porphyromonas gingivalis strains coaggregated with P. micros. No differences in coaggregation between the smooth type (Sm), the rough type (Rg) and the smooth variant of the Rg type (Rg(Sm)) of P. micros were observed. Heat-stable, periodate-sensitive structures on P. micros appeared to interact with heat- and protease-sensitive structures on F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis. These data indicate that these unimodal coaggregations are not mediated by the proteinaceous fibril-like structures of the Rg genotype, but by carbohydrates present on both genotypes of P. micros. 相似文献

AIMS: This study was undertaken to investigate whether the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus and Staph. intermedius varies with the site of isolation, sex or age of dogs. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 867 isolates of Staph. aureus and 1339 isolates of Staph. intermedius were obtained from nose, eye, ear, reproductive extremity, urine, abscess, skin and throat isolates. Staphylococcus intermedius isolates were isolated most frequently and adult and male dogs were more common compared with juveniles and/or female dogs. Antimicrobial resistance was commonly found for penicillin G, lincomycin, tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole in both Staphylococcus species. Surprisingly, we detected significant resistance to cloxacillin in male (67.1%) and female (69.4%) Staph. aureus isolates, irrespective of the anatomical site of isolation. The resistance or susceptibility of isolates of Staph. aureus from reproductive extremities and isolates of Staph. intermedius from ear, eye and abscess sites was associated with the age of the animal. CONCLUSIONS: Antimicrobial susceptibilities in Staph. aureus and Staph. intermedius often differed with regard to the site of isolation, sex and age of the animal. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Increasing antimicrobial resistance in staphylococci in veterinary medicine complicates the empirical selection of antimicrobial agents. These complications reveal a continuously evolving, complicated multifactoral process of the site of isolation, sex and age of the animal. 相似文献

Two Enterococcus strains (E. faecalis and E. faecium) isolated from 2 patients in an intensive care unit (blood and drain, respectively) were analyzed for susceptibility to 4 antibiotics (penicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, streptomycin) by agar dilution standard method (MICs), time-kill and flow cytometry. We compared the data from classical methods of antibiotic susceptibility detection, that are compulsory 24 hrs long and flow cytometry results at 5 and 24 hrs cultivation. The results from both classical and flow cytometric analyses were highly cogent and revealed the fact that flow cytometry is very useful in early diagnosis of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. 相似文献

We studied 630 bacterial strains isolated from surface waters and determined as enterococci on the basis of their growth on
Slanetz-Bartley agar in typical colonies. The strains were tested and characterized by several key conventional tests for
basic differentiation of enterococci and by commercial test kits. We identified 135 strains ofE. fœcium (21%), 115E. fœcalis (18%), 30E. mundtii (5%), 27E. hirae (4%), 22E. casseliflavus (3%), 21E. gallinarum (3%), 17E. durans-E. hirae complex (3%), 5E. durans (1%), and 1 strain ofE. avium. 150 strains were classified only asEnterococcus sp. (25%) and 107 strains (17%) isolated from Slanetz-Bartley agar were not enterococci. We found that the non-enterococcal
group consisted of other Gram-positive cocci and Gram-positive and Gram-negative rods. Based on the identification we tried
to find a relation between taxonomic position of isolated strains and their colony morphology on Slanetz-Bartley agar. Out
of the total of 523 identified enterococci, 345 strains (66%) formed purple colonies, 136 red colonies (26%), 37 pink colonies
(7%) and 5 cream colored colonies (1%). There was no correlation among the color, size or colony morphology and the taxonomic
characterization of enterococcal strains. 相似文献

AIMS: Faecal samples from cattle in US feedlots were evaluated for the presence of Salmonella. When Salmonella isolates were recovered the antimicrobial resistance patterns were determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Faecal samples were collected from pen floors in 73 feedlots in 12 states during the period from October 1999 to September 2000. Pens of cattle selected for sampling were those that had been in the feedlot for the shortest period of time, the longest period of time and a randomly selected pen from the remaining pens. Faecal samples were cultured for Salmonella spp. and all Salmonella isolates were categorized by serotype. The susceptibilities of all isolates were determined using a panel of 17 antimicrobials. Overall, 6.3% (654/10,417) of the samples cultured positive for Salmonella spp. and 22.2% (94/422) of pens and 50.7% (37/73) of feedlots had one or more positive samples. There was little difference in the proportion of positive samples from short-fed (6.1%, 212/3482), random (6.4%, 217/3400) and long-fed (6.4%, 224/3485) pens of cattle. One of two pens of cattle that could not be attributed to a pen type had a single positive sample (2.0%, 1/50). Samples collected during the period of April to June (6.8%, 209/3054) and July to September (11.4%, 286/2500) were more likely to be positive than those collected during October to December (4.0%, 73/1838) and January to March (2.8%, 86/3025). The most common serotypes of Salmonella were dissimilar from those that are typically seen in human illness and cattle illness. The majority of isolates (62.8%, 441/702) were sensitive to all of the antimicrobials tested. Resistance was most frequently observed to tetracycline (35.9%, 252/702) followed by streptomycin (11.1%, 78/702), ampicillin (10.4%, 73/702) and chloramphenicol (10.4%, 73/702). Multiple resistance (resistance to > or =2 antimicrobials) was observed for 11.7% (82/702) of the isolates. CONCLUSIONS: Salmonella was isolated at low frequency from faeces of feedlot cattle and the serotypes were not those commonly associated with human illness. In addition most of the Salmonella isolates were sensitive to all the antimicrobials tested. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study contributes to understanding the ecology of Salmonella in cattle feedlots and the prevalence of resistance among potential food-borne pathogens. 相似文献

Bacteroides fragilis is considered an important clinical pathogen and the most common anaerobe isolated from human and animal clinical specimens; enterotoxigenic strains produce diarrhea. The presence of enterotoxigenic (ETBF) and nonenterotoxigenic B. fragilis in stool samples from calves with or without acute diarrhea and the antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains were evaluated. The stool samples were plated onto a selective B. fragilis-bile-esculin agar, and incubated anaerobically (10% CO(2)/90% N(2)), at 37 degrees C, for 72 h. Species of the B. fragilis group were identified by using the API 32-A kit. Enterotoxigenic strains were detected by PCR and the cytotoxic assay. From 54 diarrhea and 54 nondiarrhea stools, 124 and 92 members of the B. fragilis group, respectively, were recovered. Only two ETBF strains were isolated from two different diarrhea samples and the bft gene was detected in both. Moreover, the bft gene was detected in DNA from four different diarrheal stools samples but no ETBF strain was recovered. All the bacteria were susceptible to chloramphenicol, imipenem, moxifloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, metronidazole and tigecycline. Most of the isolates from both calves with and without diarrhea were resistant to all metals. Our results are of concern, and suggest the need to increase the surveillance of antibiotic and metal resistance of this microbial group isolated from animal production such as calves. 相似文献

Abstract To further examine the previously suggested inverse relationship between Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia in periodontal disease, 1016 samples taken from single or multiple (pooled) subgingival sites were cultured anaerobically and examined for the simultaneous occurrence of the microorganisms. P. gingivalis was isolated from 297 (29%) and Pr. intermedia from 501 (49%) samples. P. gingivalis was found as frequently with (14%) as without (15%) Pr. intermedia . The type of sampling had no effect on the occurrence of P. gingivalis with Pr. intermedia . However, female subjects harboured them in combination more frequently than male subjects. The mean proportions of P. gingivalis in the cultivable flora appeared to be lower when found with than without Pr. intermedia . Whether the detection of the combination, or P. gingivalis alone, has clinical relevance needs further clarification. 相似文献

Aims: To study the occurrence of Cronobacter spp. in foods and to investigate the phenotypic properties of the strains isolated. Methods and Results: A total of 53 strains of Cronobacter spp. isolated from 399 food samples were identified using conventional biochemical methods and MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry. Foods of plant origin were the most frequently contaminated samples. No Cronobacter spp. were found in infant milk formula, wheat‐based infant food, pasteurized and raw cow milk, mincemeat, chicken, chickpea and potato dumpling powder. The individual species were identified as Cronobacter sakazakii (54·7%), Cronobacter malonaticus (28·4%), Cronobacter dublinensis (7·5%), Cronobacter muytjensii (7·5%) and Cronobacter turicensis (1·9%). Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus belong to biotype 1, 2, 2a, 3, 4 and 5, 5a, respectively. Cronobacter dublinensis strains were subdivided into biotypes 6 and 12. All strains were resistant to erythromycin and two of them were resistant to both erythromycin and tetracycline. Conclusions: Cronobacter spp. were isolated from various food samples pre‐eminently of plant origin and dried food ingredients. Significance and Impact of the Study: These findings will increase and detail our knowledge of the presence and diversity of Cronobacter spp. in foods. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the suitability ofAzospirillum spp. as a crop inoculant in temperate regions, the natural occurrence, distribution and survival ofAzospirillum after seed inoculation in Belgian agricultural soils was studied.Azospirillum was present in most of the fields examined, but concentrations never exceeded 1000 cfu per g soil or per g roots. Under field conditions none of the known species was found to be localized inside the roots of barley, wheat, rye, maize or grasses. Also, the distribution ofA. brasilense SpBr 14 within the root system of hydroponic-grown wheat was studied by immunofluorescence. From the rhizosphere samples of the field crops investigated, a number of microaërophilic, diazotrophic bacteria were isolated and identified asA. lipoferum, found only on maize and grass roots, andA. brasilense, present under all crops. In contrast toA. brasilense, A. lipoferum was able to use different amino-acids and some derivatives as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. Use of a peat-based seed inoculant resulted in the establishment of theAzospirillum spp. in the rhizosphere of field-grown winter barley and winter wheat. The established population survived during winter without appreciable change in numbers, but there was no indication of active growth during spring or summer. 相似文献

Adherence of pathogenic bacteria is often an essential first step in the infectious process. The ability of bacteria to adhere to one another, or to coaggregate, may be an important factor in their ability to colonize and function as pathogens in the periodontal pocket. Previously, a strong and specific coaggregation was demonstrated between two putative periodontal pathogens, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The interaction appeared to be mediated by a protein adhesin on the F. nucleatum cells and a carbohydrate receptor on the P. gingivalis cells. In this investigation, we have localized the adhesin activity of F. nucleatum T18 to the outer membrane on the basis of the ability of F. nucleatum T18 vesicles to coaggregate with whole cells of P. gingivalis T22 and the ability of the outer membrane fraction of F. nucleatum T18 to inhibit coaggregation between whole cells of F. nucleatum T18 and P. gingivalis T22. Proteolytic pretreatment of the F. nucleatum T18 outer membrane fraction resulted in a loss of coaggregation inhibition, confirming the proteinaceous nature of the adhesin. The F. nucleatum T18 outer membrane fraction was found to be enriched for several proteins, including a 42-kDa major outer membrane protein which appeared to be exposed on the bacterial cell surface. Fab fragments prepared from antiserum raised to the 42-kDa outer membrane protein were found to partially but specifically block coaggregation. These data support the conclusion that the 42-kDa major outer membrane protein of F. nucleatum T18 plays a role in mediating coaggregation with P. gingivalis T22. 相似文献
