Pyrolysis mass spectrometry was investigated for rapid characterization of bacteria. Spectra of Salmonella were compared to their serovars, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns, antibiotic resistance profiles, and MIC values. Pyrolysis mass spectra generated via metastable atom bombardment were analyzed by multivariate principal component-discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks (ANNs). Spectral patterns developed by discriminant analysis and tested with Leave-One-Out (LOO) cross-validation distinguished Salmonella strains by serovar (97% correct) and by PFGE groups (49%). An ANN model of the same PFGE groups was cross-validated, using the LOO rule, with 92% agreement. Using an ANN, thirty previously unseen spectra were correctly classified by serotype (97%) and at the PFGE level (67%). Attempts by ANN to model spectra grouped by resistance profile-but ignoring PFGE or serotype-failed (10% correct), but ANNs differentiating ten samples of the same serotype/PFGE class were more successful. To assess the information content of PyMS data serendipitously associated with or directly related to resistance character, the ten isolates were grouped into four, three, or two categories. The four categories corresponded to four resistance profiles. The four class and three class ANNs showed much improved but insufficient modeling power. The two-class ANN and a corresponding multivariate model maximized inferential power for a coarse antibiotic-resistance-related distinction. They each cross-validated by LOO at 90%. This is the first direct correlation of pyrolysis metastable atom bombardment mass spectrometry with immunological (e.g. serology) or molecular biology (e.g. PFGE) based techniques. 相似文献

Aims: Vibrio identification by means of traditional microbiological methods is time consuming because of the many biochemical tests that have to be performed to distinguish closely related species. This work aimed at evaluating the use of MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry for the rapid identification of Vibrio (V.) spp. as an advantageous application to rapidly discriminate the most important Vibrio spp. and distinguish Vibrio spp. from closely related bacterial species like Photobacterium damselae and Grimontia hollisae and other aquatic bacteria like Aeromonas spp. Methods and Results: Starting from sub‐colony amounts of pure cultures grown on agar plates, a very simple sample preparation procedure was established and combined with a rapid and automated measurement protocol that allowed species identification within minutes. Closely related species like Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus or Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio mimicus could thus be differentiated by defining signatures of species‐identifying biomarker ions (SIBIs). As a reference method for species designation and for determination of relationships between strains with molecular markers, partial rpoB gene sequencing was applied. Conclusions: The MALDI‐TOF MS‐based method as well as the rpoB sequence‐based approach for Vibrio identification described in this study produced comparable classification results. The construction of phylogenetic trees from MALDI‐TOF MS and rpoB sequences revealed a very good congruence of both methods. Significance and Impact of the Study: Our results suggest that whole‐cell MALDI‐TOF MS‐based proteometric characterization represents a powerful tool for rapid and accurate classification and identification of Vibrio spp. and related species. 相似文献

A 562 base pair fragment of DNA from a serotype A strain of Vibrio anguillarum was cloned into pUC9 and used as a hybridization probe for the rapid identification of Vibrio anguillarum by colony hybridization. The probe was tested on nine different fish pathogens, 15 Vibrio isolates, 2 organisms closely related to Vibrio, and 9 serotypes of V. anguillarum. The probe hybridized only with the DNA of V. anguillarum serotypes A and H. The sequence of the 562 nucleotides have been determined. This probe allows rapid, reliable, and specific detection of V. anguillarum in freshwater ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis. 相似文献

Amino acid sequences have been assigned to two cockroach neuropeptides (Glu-Val-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Asn-Trp-NH2, M I, and Glu-Leu-Thr-Phe-Thr-Pro-Asn-Trp-NH2, M II) by application of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, including high resolution and linked scan (metastable) studies. The peptides show considerable homology with two other invertebrate neuropeptides, adipokinetic hormone (AKH, from a locust) and red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH, from a prawn), whose fast atom bombardment spectra were also studied. M I and M II are thus members of a family of structurally-related invertebrate neuropeptides. 相似文献

Aims: To develop an effective multiplex PCR for simultaneous and rapid detection of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the three most important Vibrio species that can cause devastating health hazards among human. Methods and Results: Species‐specific PCR primers were designed based on toxR gene for V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus, and vvhA gene for V. vulnificus. The multiplex PCR was validated with 488 Vibrio strains including 322 V. cholerae, 12 V. vulnificus, and 82 V. parahaemolyticus, 20 other Vibrio species and 17 other bacterial species associated with human diseases. It could detect the three target bacteria without any ambiguity even among closely related species. It showed good efficiency in detection of co‐existing target species in the same sample. The detection limit of all the target species was ten cells per PCR tube. Conclusions: Specificity and sensitivity of the multiplex PCR is 100% each and sufficient for simultaneous detection of these potentially pathogenic Vibrio species in clinical and environmental samples. Significance and Impact of the Study: This simple, rapid and cost‐effective method can be applicable in a prediction system to prevent disease outbreak by these Vibrio species and can be considered as an effective tool for both epidemiologist and ecologist. 相似文献

The chemical composition of five aromatic plants (Mentha longifolia, M. pulegium, Eugenia caryophyllata, Thymus vulgaris and Rosmarinus officinalis) frequently used in food preparation in Tunisia was analysed by GC-MS. The antimicrobial effect of the essential oils obtained
from these plants was tested against Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio fluvialis strains. Thyme oil exhibited a high level of antimicrobial activities against Vibrio spp. strains. The diameter of the zones of growth inhibition for V. parahaemolyticus species was interestingly high (ranging from 14.66 to 28 mm). The MIC and MBC values were interestingly low for thyme oil
(MIC 0.078–0.156 mg/ml) and (MBC >0.31–1.25 mg/ml). These results showed that these plants especially thyme and clove, can
be to be used for seafood preparation to protect against contamination by Vibrio spp. strains.

The fish pathogenVibrio anguillarum causes significant economic losses in commercially cultured fish species worldwide. At present, identification ofV. anguillarum requires conventional isolation and culturing techniques. Using differential hybridization, a 310 base pairV. anguillarum-specific DNA fragment was isolated for use as a probe. In specificity studies against 19 different bacterial species, including twoVibrio sp. and fish pathogens, and 223 marine bacterial isolates, the probe hybridized exclusively toV. anguillarum strains. The probe also strongly hybridizes to 7 of 9 serotypes tested, with serotype 09 giving a weak probe reaction and serotype O7 negative. The probe allows rapid and accurate detection of both pathogenic and environmental strains ofV. anguillarum. 相似文献

Aims: To assess the diversity in production of acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) among Vibrio spp and related species. Methods and Results: A total of 106 isolates, with representatives of 28 Vibrio spp and related species, were investigated for the production of AHLs. For this, a rapid method for the screening of AHLs was developed based on the use of bacterial biosensors using a double‐layer microplate assay. At least one bacterial biosensor was activated in 20 species, Agrobacterium tumefaciens being the most frequently activated biosensor. One isolate of Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio rotiferianus and Vibrio metschnikovii activated the Chromobacterium violaceum biosensor, which is not common among the Vibrionaceae family. For those species with more than one isolate, the biosensor activation profile was the same except for two species, V. anguillarum and V. metschnikovii, which varied among the different isolates. Conclusions: AHL production was observed in the majority of the studied species, with a diverse biosensor activation profile. Significance and Impact of the Study: The high diversity in AHL production is in consistence with the high diversity in ecological niches of the Vibrionaceae family. The absence of AHL detection in eight species warrants further work on their quorum‐sensing systems. 相似文献

Curie-point pyrolysis mass spectra were obtained from 29 oral asaccharolytic Eubacterium strains and 6 abscess isolates previously identified as Peptostreptococcus heliotrinreducens. Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) with cluster analysis was able to clarify the taxonomic position of this group of organisms.
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were then trained by supervised learning (with the back-propagation algorithm) to recognize
the strains from their pyrolysis mass spectra; all Eubacterium strains were correctly identified, and the abscess isolates were identified as un-named Eubacterium taxon C2 and were distinct from the type strain of P. heliotrinreducens. These results demonstrate that the combination of PyMS and ANNs provides a rapid and accurate identification technique. 相似文献

A new siderophore named vulnibactin has been isolated from low iron cultures of Vibrio vulnificus, a human pathogen. The structure was established as N-[3-(2,3-dihydroxybenzamido)propyl]-1,3-bis[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-trans-5-methyl-2-oxazoline-4-carboxamido]propane by a combination of acid hydrolysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positive fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Vulnibactin is characterized as containing one residue of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid as well as two residues of salicylic acid, both of which are involved in the formation of oxazoline rings with l-threonine bound to a norspermidine backbone. In addition, two other compounds with siderophore activity were purified and their structures were also determined. These two compounds provided further support for the structure of vulnibactin. 相似文献

Rapid grouping of bacterial isolates is critical in comprehensive microbial studies of environmental samples or screening programmes e.g. in unknown marine environments where large numbers of strains have to be isolated on different growth media. Sets of bacteria have been cultured from the marine sponges Isops phlegraei, Haliclona sp. 1, Phakellia ventilabrum and Plakortis sp. growing at a depth of about 300 m on the Sula Ridge close to the Norwegian coast. We employed Intact-Cell MALDI-TOF (ICM) mass spectrometry to achieve a rapid proteometric clustering of a subset of the strain collection including 456 isolates. Cluster analysis of mass spectra resolved the strains into 11 groups corresponding to species of Alteromonas (15), Bacillus (3), Colwellia (31), Erythrobacter (19), Marinobacter (14), Marinococcus (6), Pseudoalteromonas (297), Pseudomonas (56), Roseobacter (3), Sphingomonas (2) and Vibrio (10) as verified by 16 S rDNA analysis. A further discrimination into subgroups was demonstrated for different isolates from the genus Pseudoalteromonas. The approach described here permits the rapid identification of isolates for dereplication, and the selection of strains representing rare species for subsequent characterization. 相似文献

Two Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, halophilic, motile, slightly curved rod-shaped bacterial strains MSSRF60T and MSSRF64 were isolated from the roots of a mangrove-associated wild rice collected in the Pichavaram mangroves, India. These strains possess the key functional nitrogenase gene nifH. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA, recA, gapA, mreB, gyrB and pyrH, gene sequences revealed that strains MSSRF60T and MSSRF64 belong to the genus Vibrio, and had the highest sequence similarity with the type strains of Vibrio diazotrophicus LMG 7893T (99.7, 94.8, 98.5, 97.9, 94.0 and 90.7%, respectively), Vibrio areninigrae J74T (98.2, 87.5, 91.5, 88.9, 86.5 and 84.6% respectively) and Vibrio hispanicus LMG 13240T (97.8, 87.1, 91.7, 89.8, 84.1 and 81.9%, respectively). The fatty acid composition too confirmed the affiliation of strains MSSRF60T and MSSRF64 to the genus Vibrio. These strains can be differentiated from the most closely related Vibrio species by several phenotypic traits. The DNA G + C content of strain MSSRF60T was 41.8 mol%. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic (multilocus sequence analysis using five genes and genomic fingerprinting using BOX-PCR) and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses, strains MSSRF60T and MSSRF64 represent a novel species of the genus Vibrio, for which the name Vibrio plantipsonsor sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MSSRF60T (=DSM 21026T = LMG 24470T = CAIM 1392T). 相似文献

A fermented milk, Kefir, contains an active substance which enhances IFN- secretion of a human osteosarcoma line MG-63 treated with a chemical inducer, poly I: poly C. The active substance in the fermented milk was identified to be sphingomyelin (SpM) by a combined use of a fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) and a fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry (FAB-MS/MS). SpM from fermented milk (F-SpM) was a mixture of four molecular species of SpMs having C21-, C22-, C23- and C24-fatty acids. F-SpM enhanced the IFN secretion 14 times, SpMs from other sources also enhanced moderately (2–3 times). Sphingosine and lysosphingomyelin also enhanced the activity but ceramide and cerebroside did not.Abbreviations IFN-

Luminous bacteria are isolated from both Hydrozoa and Bryozoa with chitinous structures on their surfaces. All the specimens
of the examined hydroid species (Aglaophenia kirchenpaueri, Aglaophenia octodonta, Aglaophenia tubiformis, Halopteris diaphana, Plumularia setacea, Ventromma halecioides), observed under blue light excitation, showed a clear fluorescence on the external side of the perisarc (chitinous exoskeleton)
around hydrocladia. In the bryozoan Myriapora truncata, luminous bacteria are present on the chitinous opercula. All the isolated luminous bacteria were identified on the basis
of both phenotypic and genotypic analysis. The isolates from A. tubiformis and H. diaphana were unambiguously assigned to the species Vibrio fischeri. In contrast, the isolates from the other hydroids, phenotypically assigned to the species Vibrio harveyi, were then split into two distinct species by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and DNA–DNA hybridization
experiments. Scanning electron microscopy analysis and results of culture-based and culture-independent approaches enabled
us to establish that luminous vibrios represent major constituents of the bacterial community inhabiting the A. octodonta surface suggesting that the interactions between luminous bacteria and the examined hydrozoan and bryozoan species are highly
specific. These interactions might have epidemiological as well as ecological implications because of the opportunistic pathogenicity
of luminous Vibrio species for marine organisms and the wide-distribution of the hydrozoan and bryozoan functioning as carriers. 相似文献

Simultaneous differential detection of human pathogenic and nonpathogenic Vibrio species using a multiplex PCR based on gyrB and pntA genes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: To develop a multiplex PCR targeting the gyrB and pntA genes for Vibrio species differentiation. Methods and Results: Four pairs of primers targeting gyrB gene of Vibrios at genus level and pntA gene of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus were designed. This PCR method precisely identified 250 Vibrio species and demonstrated sensitivity in the range of 4 × 104 CFU ml?1 (c. 200 CFU per PCR) to 2 × 103 CFU ml?1 (c. 10 CFU per PCR). Overall, the gyrB gene marker showed a higher specificity than the dnaJ gene marker for Vibrio detection and was able to distinguish Aeromonas from Vibrio species. Conclusions: The multiplex PCR based on combined gyrB and pntA provides a high discriminatory power in the differentiation between Vibrio alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus, and between V. cholerae and Vibrio mimicus. Significance and Impact of the Study: This assay will be useful for rapid differentiation of various Vibrio species from clinical and environmental sources and significantly overcomes the limitations of the conventional methods. 相似文献

We carried out a 16-month in situ study to investigate the ecology of Vibrio spp. and pathogenic Vibrio species in coastal sediments of the Mediterranean Sea, employing multiple-regression analysis to reveal the major environmental
factors controlling their occurrence in the benthic environment. In addition, association between vibrios and sediment-inhabiting
meiofauna, which is a major component of benthic ecosystems, was investigated. Culturable and total Vibrio spp. estimates by most-probable-number technique coupled with standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR
methods, respectively, were at least one order of magnitude higher in sediment than in seawater. In addition, potential human
pathogenic species Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus occurred in the sediment with V. parahaemolyticus being the most frequently found. In the pelagic environment, 60% of total variance in culturable Vibrio data was explained by sea surface temperature (40%), salinity (13%) and organic matter concentration (7%). In the benthic
environment, sea surface temperature was the only factor that significantly affected culturable Vibrio occurrence although it explained only 25% of total variance, suggesting that additional unexplored factors may play a role
as well. No correlation was found between culturable Vibrio spp. concentrations and the abundance of harpacticoid copepods in the sediment whilst a negative correlation was found between
Vibrio spp. and nematode abundance which accounted for almost 90% of the total meiofaunal density. Taxonomic analysis revealed that
selective bacterial feeders accounted for nearly 50% of the total nematode community and included genera such as Terschellingia, Molgolaimus and Halalaimus, suggesting that top-down control by nematode grazing may be an important factor affecting Vibrio occurrence in these sediments. It is concluded that the benthic marine environment may function as a reservoir of Vibrio spp. and potential pathogenic vibrios whose ecological features appeared substantially different from the ones recognised
in the pelagic environment. 相似文献

The occurrence, diversity, and pathogenicity of Vibrio spp. were investigated in two estuaries along the Italian Adriatic coast. Vibrio alginolyticus was the predominant species, followed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, non-O1 Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio vulnificus. By using a biochemical fingerprinting method, all isolates were grouped into nine phenotypes with similarity levels of 75 to 97.5%. The production of toxins capable of causing cytoskeleton-dependent changes was detected in a large number of Vibrio strains. These findings indicate a significant presence of potentially pathogenic Vibrio strains along the Adriatic coast. 相似文献

Aim: To develop a haemolysin (hly) gene‐based species‐specific multiplex PCR for simple and rapid detection of Vibrio campbellii, V. harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus. Methods and Results: The complete hly genes of three V. campbellii strains isolated from diseased shrimps were sequenced and species‐specific PCR primers were designed based on these sequences and the registered hly gene sequences of Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Specificity and sensitivity of the multiplex PCR was validated with 27 V. campbellii, 16 V. harveyi, and 69 V. parahaemolyticus, 18 other Vibrio species, one Photobacterium damselae and nine other bacterial species. The detection limits of all the three target species were in between 10 and 100 cells per PCR tube. Conclusions: Specificity and sensitivity of the multiplex PCR is 100% each and sufficient to be considered as an effective tool in a prediction system to prevent potential disease outbreak by these Vibrio species. Significance and Impact of the Study: Because there is lack of simple, rapid and cost‐effective method to differentiate these closely related V. campbellii, V. harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus species, the multiplex PCR developed in this study will be very effective in epidemiological, ecological and economical points of view. 相似文献

China remains by far the largest aquaculture producer in the world. However, biofilms formed by pathogenic Vibrio strains pose serious problems to marine aquaculture. To provide a strategy for biofilm prevention, control, and eradication,
extracts from 88 marine actinomycetes were screened. Thirty-five inhibited the biofilm formation of Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio anguillarum at a concentration of 2.5% (v/v). Thirty-three of the actinomycete extracts dispersed the mature biofilm. Six extracts inhibited
the quorum-sensing system of V. harveyi by attenuating the signal molecules N-acylated homoserine lactones’ activity. Strain A66, which was identified as Steptomyces albus, both attenuated the biofilms and inhibited their quorum-sensing system. It is suggested that strain A66 is a promising candidate
to be used in future marine aquaculture. 相似文献

Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) is a rapid, simple, high-resolution analytical method based on thermal degradation of complex material in a vacuum and has been widely applied to the discrimination of closely related microbial strains. Leaf samples of six species and one variety of higher plants (Rosa multiflora, R. multiflora var. platyphylla, Sedum kamtschaticum, S. takesimense, S. sarmentosum, Hepatica insularis, and H. asiatica) were subjected to PyMS for spectral fingerprinting. Principal component analysis of PyMS data was not able to discriminate these plants in discrete clusters. However, canonical variate analysis of PyMS data separated these plants from one another. A hierarchical dendrogram based on canonical variate analysis was in agreement with the known taxonomy of the plants at the variety level. These results indicate that PyMS is able to discriminate higher plants based on taxonomic classification at the family, genus, species, and variety level.Abbreviations
