Expression and immunogenicity analysis of two iron-regulated outer membrane proteins of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Genes of two iron-regulated outer membrane proteins of Vibrio parahaemolyticus zj2003, a pathogenic strain isolated from large yellow croaker （Pseudosciaena crocea）, psuA and pvuA, were cloned and expressed as N-terminal His6-tagged proteins in Escherichia coli BL21（DE3）. The recombinant fusion proteins were purified with nickel chelate affinity chromatography. To analyze the immunogenicity of the proteins, groups of large yellow croaker were immunized with the purified recombinant psuA, pvuA or both, by intraperitoneal injection. Antibody response was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Titers to the recombinant proteins increased from log2 3.25 to log29.80, 4-8 weeks following immunization. The relative percent survival of the groups vaccinated with psuA, pvuA, or a combination of the two, reached 50%, 62.5% and 75%, respectively. Western blot analysis was carried out with the serum from unvaccinated survival fish after infection. Both recombinant proteins were detected, indicating that these two proteins of V. parahaemolyticus zj2003 were immunogenic and could produce synergistic effects during in vivo infection, and they might be considered as important components for developing an aquaculture vaccine against this pathogen.     

A novel multiplex PCR for the identification of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus

AIM: To establish a simple multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that will identify Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 429 Vibrio spp. from various origins were tested with the novel primers targeting toxR. The reverse primers were all designed to be species specific, while the forward primer was universal. The primers correctly identified all the V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae and V. vulnificus isolates tested. CONCLUSIONS: The toxR multiplex PCR works well when the initial colony morphology is known. If not, Vibrio alginolyticus might represent a diagnostic obstacle. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method provides a fast and reliable way of identifying the main Vibrio spp. involved in food-borne disease. The method could prove very useful for laboratories working with identification of these Vibrio spp.

Purification and characterization of a hemolysin of Vibrio mimicus that relates to the thermostable direct hemolysin of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

A hemolysin (designated Vm-rTDH) from Vibrio mimicus (AQ0915-E13) was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and successive column chromatography with DEAE-Sephadex A-25, hydroxyapatite, Mono Q, Superose 12 and Phenyl-Superose. The Mr of the subunit was estimated to be about 22,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-slab gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of Vm-rTDH was approximately pH 4.9. The hemolytic activity of Vm-rTDH was stable upon heating at 100 degrees C for 10 min, similar to that of the thermostable direct hemolysin (Vp-TDH) of V. parahaemolyticus. Vm-rTDH also showed lytic activities similar to those of Vp-TDH. Immunological cross-reactivity between Vp-TDH and Vm-rTDH was demonstrated by the Ouchterlony double-diffusion test. Thus we conclude that V. mimicus produces a newly discovered type of hemolysin (Vm-rTDH) which is similar to Vp-TDH.     

Isolation and partial characterization of a compound with siderophore activity from Vibrio parahaemolyticus

A compound with siderophore activity was purified by successive column and thin layer chromatographic procedures from Dowex 1 x 8 extracts of culture supernatants of Vibrio parahaemolyticus AQ 3354. The strain synthesized the compound in culture media containing less than 2 microM added FeCl3. Hydrolysis of the compound yielded alanine, ethanolamine, citric acid and 2-ketoglutaric acid. The 1H-NMR spectrum exhibited the presence of a residue from each of these components in the intact molecule. The fast-atom bombardment mass spectrum of the methyl ester derivative indicated a prominent ion at m/z 477, probably corresponding to [M + 1] ion. Other strains of V. parahaemolyticus were also found to produce this compound when grown in an iron-limited medium.     

Expression of a Vibrio parahaemolyticus toxin in Escherichia coli results in chromosomal DNA degradation

A toxin-antitoxin system, vp1842/vp1843, locates within a superintegron on the Vibrio parahaemolyticus genome chromosome I whose toxin gene vp1843 encodes a DNA nicking endonuclease. We found that the vp1843 expression in Escherichia coli cells strongly induced chromosomal DNA degradation. On the basis of these observations, we discuss a possible physiological role of vp1842/vp1843 in V. parahaemolyticus.

副溶血弧菌是广泛存在于近海区域,盐湖和海产品中的食源性致病菌,会引起大规模的食物中毒。TLH(不耐热溶血毒素)和TDH(耐热直接溶血毒素)是副溶血弧菌最主要的毒力基因,通过比较毒力基因的表达量可以间接比较同种菌株在不同应激条件下以及不同菌株之间的毒力差异。本文以在不同条件下培养的3株Vp为材料,分别提取其总RNA,以16S rRNA为内标基因,运用荧光定量PCR技术检测副溶血弧菌TLH和TDH基因在不同应激条件下的表达差异。结果表明:不同菌株和同种菌株在不同应激条件下tlh、tdh基因表达差异均显著;tlh的最适表达条件分别为5%盐度和20°C;tdh的最适表达条件分别为1%盐度和25°C。运用SPSS软件对实验结果进行统计学分析表明:菌株对tlh表达的影响大于盐度大于温度;菌株对tdh表达的影响大于温度大于盐度。     

Genetic diversity among Norwegian Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Aims: To examine the variability among environmental Vibrio parahaemolyticus (including trh+ isolates) from Norway, and to compare these to clinical isolates and isolates from imported foods. Methods and Results: A total of 246 V. parahaemolyticus were successfully digested with NotI, and the fragments were separated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The isolates could be divided into 72 clusters and 103 pulsotypes. Eleven clusters contained 4–31 environmental isolates, and the isolates within these clusters greatly varied with respect to origin. None of the trh+ and /or tdh+ isolates clustered with trh?/tdh? isolates. The trh+ environmental isolates included in the study belonged to two separate clusters. A subset of isolates was serotyped, and great serotype diversity was observed among the environmental V. parahaemolyticus. The clinical isolates included O3:K6 and O3:KUT, and these were identical or related to a pandemic reference strain by PFGE. Conclusions: Environmental V. parahaemolyticus (including trh+) were genetically diverse, but certain variants occurred throughout the coastal environment, and some were persistent over time. Significance and Impact of the Study: Although trh+ V. parahaemolyticus persisted in the Norwegian environment, no evidence indicated that indigenous isolates have caused disease.
