Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is important both as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen causing various degrees of infections. Typing S. aureus has been a question that is still being addressed. Bacteriophage typing is still used as a golden standard for typing though
molecular methods are investigated. In developing countries where neither molecular typing nor the bacteriophage typing methods
can be routinely used, the recently developed capsular typing method can be considered as screening method. We compared capsular
typing with bacteriophage typing of the strains isolated in Gulbarga, India. We observed that the typeability of capsular
typing was significantly higher (96%) among the phage typed strains, and the predominant capsular type in the region was type-8.
The data so generated can be used to group S. aureus based on capsules both as a screening prior to bacteriophage typing, and to identify capsular candidate for developing prophylactic
and therapeutic alternatives. 相似文献

A typing scheme has recently been developed for Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A based on the clonal population structure of these bacteria. An international strain collection consisting of 423 group A strains isolated from 23 epidemics or outbreaks since 1963, as well as from older epidemics and numerous non-epidemic situations was used in the analysis. Strains were first segregated into electrophoretic types, depending on the combined score for the electrophoretic mobilities of 7 cytoplasmic isoenzymes resolved by starch gel electrophoresis and of 2 outer membrane proteins resolved by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The bacteria were subsequently assigned to one of 21 clones after numerical analysis of their electrophoretic types.The epidemiological value of the typing scheme was assessed by examining case and carrier strains isolated during (1982–83) and subsequent to (1984–85) an epidemic in the Gambia, West Africa. The case isolates, all of which were serogroup A, were of a single clonal type. All serogroup A carrier isolates were also of this clone, while carrier strains of other serogroups showed greater clonal diversity. These results indicate that case strains during an epidemic show little clonal diversity and thus that the typing scheme is of value in distinguishing the etiology of epidemics.A retrospective epidemiological analysis of the strains in the international collection showed that most serogroup A epidemics were associated with a single or predominant clone, although some epidemics were of mixed etiology. The survey included 256 isolates from 15 African epidemics since 1963, a period which covers 3 major epidemic waves (1960–63; 1967–73 and 1981–83), thus permitting a detailed epidemiological analysis of serogroup A epidemics in this continent.Epidemiological records indicate that seven clones have been responsible for sets of epidemics throughout the world since 1915 and that at least two of these sets can be considered to represent mutually exclusive pandemics, linking numerous epidemics between 1967–75 and 1973–83, respectively. 相似文献

Two outbreaks of Streptococcus suis ST7 occurred in humans in 1998 and 2005 in China. PFGE of chromosome restriction fragments found all ST7 isolates to be indistinguishable. Due to the genetic homogeneity of ST7 isolates, development of a rapid sub‐typing method with high discriminatory power for ST7 isolates is required. In this study, a novel method, MLVA, was developed to type S. suis serotype 2 strains. Further, this method was used to analyze outbreak‐associated ST7 strains in China. A total of 144 ST7 S. suis isolates were sub‐typed into 34 MLVA types. Among these, eight isolates from the 1998 outbreak were sub‐typed into five MLVA types, of which four MLVA types were also detected in Sichuan in 2005. These data indicate that the pathogens responsible for the two outbreaks had the same origin. In addition, some observations also provided molecular evidence for the transmission route, possibly indicating that the MLVA method has usefulness in epidemiology. The developed MLVA scheme for S. suis has greater discriminative power than PFGE. The method described here may be useful for identifying the source of S. suis infection and monitoring its spread. 相似文献

EAEC is increasingly recognized as an emerging enteric pathogen. Typical EAEC expressing the AggR regulon have been proven to be an important cause of childhood diarrhea in industrialized countries as well as in the developing world, while atypical EAEC without this regulon have not been thoroughly investigated. To investigate the bacteriological characteristics of EAEC, including both typical and atypical strains in Kagoshima, Japan, 2417 E. coli strains from Japanese children with diarrhea were screened by a quantitative biofilm assay to detect possible EAEC strains, resulting in the identification of 102 (4.2%) of these strains by the HEp‐2 cell adherence test. Virulence gene patterns, PFGE analysis and O‐serogrouping demonstrated the heterogeneity of the EAEC. The EAEC strains were classified into two groups: typical EAEC with aggR (74.5%, 76/102) and atypical EAEC without aggR (25.5%, 26/102). There was no significant difference between the typical EAEC strains (median OD570= 0.73) and the atypical strains (median OD570= 0.61) in biofilm formation (P= 0.17). Incidences of resistance against ampicillin, cefotaxime and tetracycline were significantly higher in the typical EAEC strains than the atypical EAEC strains (84.2% vs. 53.8%, 36.8% vs. 7.7% and 93.4% vs. 73.1%, respectively, P < 0.05). The typical EAEC strains showed significantly higher resistance ratios against HCl and lactate than the atypical strains (94.7% vs. 61.5% and 92.1% vs. 57.7%, respectively, P < 0.001). To investigate the pathogenicity of not only typical but also atypical EAEC, further bacteriological and epidemiologic studies including atypical EAEC are needed. 相似文献

Three types of serotypically atypical Shigella flexneri strains were isolated from 2007 to 2008 in patients at the Korea National Institute of Health (NIH). These strains were characterized and compared with serologically typical S.flexneri. One type of strain either displayed nonreacting typing or grouping sera, reacting strongly only with polyB antisera, which indicates this strain is S. flexneri (polyB:un). The second type displayed reactions with one of the typing sera (IV) and did not bind any grouping sera (IV:un). The remaining type of strain displayed a plural agglutination pattern, reacted with one typing sera (II), and bound with two grouping sera (II:(3)4,7(8)). Among these atypical strains IV:un and II:(3)4,7(8) strains showed higher multi-antibiotic resistance in ampicillin, streptomycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than typical strains. Furthermore, all II:(3)4,7(8) strains harbored integrons. This study suggests that these multiple antibiotic-resistant atypical S. flexneri are new subserotypes of S.flexneri that await further serological classification. 相似文献

The potential of a three-way randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure (RAPD typing) for typing Salmonella enterica strains assigned to 12 serotypes was analyzed. The series of organisms used included 235 strains (326 isolates) collected mainly from clinical samples in the Principality of Asturias and 9 reference strains. RAPD typing was performed directly with broth cultures of bacteria by using three selected primers and optimized PCR conditions. The profiles obtained with the three primers were used to define RAPD types and to evaluate the procedure as a typing method at the species and serotype levels. The typeability was 100%; the reproducibility and in vitro stability could be considered good. The concordance of RAPD typing methods with serotyping methods was 100%, but some profiles obtained with two of the three primers were obtained with strains assigned to different serotypes. The discrimination index (DI) within the series of organisms was 0.94, and the DI within serotypes Typhimurium, Enteritidis, and Virchow were 0.72, 0.52, and 0.66, respectively. Within these serotypes the most common RAPD types were differentiated into phage types and vice versa; combining the types identified by the two procedures (RAPD typing and phage typing) resulted in further discrimination (DI, 0.96, 0.74, and 0.87, respectively). The efficiency, rapidity, and flexibility of the RAPD typing method support the conclusion that it can be used as a tool for identifying Salmonella organisms and as a typing method that is complementary to serotyping and phage typing methods. 相似文献

Legionella bacteria are ubiquitous in aquatic environments. Members of the species Legionella pneumophila are responsible for more than 98% of cases of Legionnaires' disease in France. Our objective was to validate a molecular typing method called infrequent restriction site PCR (IRS PCR), applied to the study of the ecology of Legionella and to compare this method with reference typing methods, pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and sequence‐based Typing (SBT). PFGE and SBT are considered as gold methods for the epidemiological typing of Leg. pneumophila strains. However, these methods are not suitable to an ecological monitoring of Legionella in natural environments where a large number of strains has to be typed. Validation of IRS PCR method was performed by the identification of 45 Leg. pneumophila isolates from cooling circuits of thermal power plants by IRS PCR, PFGE and SBT. The parameters of each method were measured and compared to evaluate the effectiveness of IRS PCR. The results of this study showed that IRS PCR has a discriminating power similar or better than that of the reference methods and thus that, by its speed and low cost represents an appropriate tool for the study of the ecology of Legionella in cooling circuits. 相似文献

Summary Analyses of sewage solids show cellulose to be one of the chief components. Culture counts of cellulolytic bacteria in a primary
anaerobic sewage digestor show them to be present in numbers as high as 1 million per ml. The tendency of cellulolytic bacteria
to cling to cellulose fibers makes it highly probable that the number of cellulolytic cells is much larger.
All 10 cellulolytic strains isolated in pure culture show better growth in solid than in liquid media, and for some of them
agar possesses growth promoting properties. For some strains, phytone and trypticase can replace the agar but other strains
could not be grown in media containing no agar.
Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ethanol, formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid have been identified as fermentation products
and glucose shown to be a product of cellulose digestion. Cellobiose, starch, dextrin, and maltose were fermented by 5 tested
strains, inulin and esculin by one of them, but none of 17 other carbohydrates, including glucose, were attacked.
The rate of cellulose fermentation by a mixed culture of aClostridium sp. and a cellulose decomposer is much greater than the rate by the latter alone. The rate of fermentation by a pure culture
is not affected by acetate concentrations up to 5000 parts per million. It is postulated that the rate of fermentation of
cellulose may be the factor limiting the rate of sewage fermentation though more evidence regarding rates of fermentation
of other constituents of sewage is needed before final conclusions can be drawn.

Summary and conclusions Phages were isolated which were adsorbed bySalmonella strains of groups B and D. These phages were adaptable to strains of species from these groups. The behaviour of some adaptations
of these phages on strains ofS. paratyphi B has been described.
A typing scheme forS. typhimurium has been established. So far, this consists of 32 types which have all been demonstrated with adaptations of a single phage. 相似文献

Thirty-two strains of group A hemolytic streptococci which could not be M typed with the available typing sera in Nashville, Tenn., were reinvestigated at the Streptococcus Reference Laboratory in Colindale, England, in order to estimate the efficacy of other antisera not available in Nashville and newer techniques (the opacity factor inhibition test) of typing strains not isolated in England. Fifty percent were eventually typed and all but four contained enough M protein to suggest that they would have been typed had the appropriate typing sera been available. The results indicate that group A streptococci truly lacking M protein were seldom isolated from the Nashville children from whom the streptococci were cultured. Several factors responsible for nontypability were considered, including the nonavailability of the necessary type-specific antisera and loss of M protein due to a change from Matt to glossy colonial types in the laboratory. 相似文献

Fatty acids of twelve strains of budding bacteria (Planctomyces and Pirellula spp.), which have atypical 16S rRNA and do not contain peptidoglycan cell walls, were shown to contain typical diacyl polar lipids with no indication of isoprenoid ether lipids suggestive of a relationship with the archaebacteria. The major ester-linked fatty acids of the phospholipids were palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids, which are more typical of microeukaryotes than of eubacteria. Lipopolysaccharide lipid A (LPS) was detected; it contained major proportions of long chain normal 3-OH fatty acids (3-OH eicosanoic at 23% and 17% of the total in two strains of Planctomyces, and 3-OH octadecanoic at 18%, and 3-OH palmitic at 11% of the total in one strain of Pirellula). Major portions of long chain 3-OH fatty acids in the LPS are extremely unusual and provide another atypical property of these organisms. Each strain investigated showed a specific total fatty acid composition, reflecting the diversity in 16S rRNA nucleotide catalogues. 相似文献

During a 1-month period, eight neonates developed staphylococcal skin disease diagnosed as a bullous impetigo in the maternity
unit of the Provincial Hospital in Gdansk. An epidemiological investigation based on phenotyping and genotyping methods was
performed. All neonates involved in the outbreak, their mothers and 15 staff members were screened for carriage of Staphylococcus aureus by nasal swabs. Isolated strains were compared with strains cultured from affected skin and purulent conjunctiva of infected
newborns. Isolates were analyzed for the presence of the etA and etB genes using polymerase chain reaction and genotyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and coa gene polymorphism. The analyzed S. aureus strains were methicillin-sensitive and could be divided into two groups according to antibiotyping, phage typing, coa polymorphism and PFGE pattern. The first group consisted of etA and etB negative strains, and the second one involved only the etB positive ones. Our results have shown that there were two different clusters of infection caused by two populations of S. aureus strains. Among the 15 medical staff members screened we have found seven carriers. However, phage typing revealed that distinct
strains unrelated to the outbreak isolates were carried. Although we have not been able to establish the source of bacteria
involved in the outbreak, our results suggest that for both groups, mothers could be the source of the infecting strains.

Summary All bacterial strains classified into the family Rhizobiaceae can be induced to undergo a fundamental genome rearrangement. The special structure of their genome allows the formation of five distinctive phenotypes, each one adapted to a different habitat (Fig. 1).This genome rearrangement can be induced by DNA-damaging agents, UV irridiation or chemical mutagenesis. For expression, cells have to be protected against photorepair and their replication has to be reduced by stress treatment. The rearrangement process is, with special exceptions, reversible. Classes I and II comprise Agrobacteria and Rhizobia, class III nitrogen-fixing strains and classes IV and V two different carotenoid-pigmented types. One of the class V strains has been shown to be an effective legume-symbiont. DNA characteristics and inter-class hybridization results show not only that the genomes are completely reconstructed during each step of rearrangement, but also that the bacteria of all five classes are genetically correlated. In many cases the genetic label has been maintained during rearrangement into the different classes. The identity of each class is protected by a class-specific restriction and modification system, which was analyzed by phage typing experiments and by functional analysis of class-specific restriction endonucleases. We propose to designate the classes as different species of Rhizobiaceae. The unidirectional rearrangement between nodulating Rhizobia and tumorgenic Agrobacteria has been interpreted as a sequence of decreasing complexity of genomic regions coding for the plant interactions of these bacteria. 相似文献

Fungal infections are increasingly dangerous because of environmentally dispersed resistance to antifungal drugs. Azoles are commonly used antifungal drugs, but they are also used as fungicides in agriculture, which may enable enrichment of azole-resistant strains of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus in the environment. Understanding of environmental dissemination and enrichment of genetic variation associated with azole resistance in A. fumigatus is required to suppress resistant strains. Here, we focused on eight strains of azole-resistant A. fumigatus isolated from a single tulip bulb for sale in Japan. This set includes strains with TR34/L98H/T289A/I364V/G448S and TR46/Y121F/T289A/S363P/I364V/G448S mutations in the cyp51A gene, which showed higher tolerance to several azoles than strains harbouring TR46/Y121F/T289A mutation. The strains were typed by microsatellite typing, single nucleotide polymorphism profiles, and mitochondrial and nuclear genome analyses. The strains grouped differently using each typing method, suggesting historical genetic recombination among the strains. Our data also revealed that some strains isolated from the tulip bulb showed tolerance to other classes of fungicides, such as QoI and carbendazim, followed by related amino acid alterations in the target proteins. Considering spatial–temporal factors, plant bulbs are an excellent environmental niche for fungal strains to encounter partners, and to obtain and spread resistance-associated mutations. 相似文献

The authors carried out serological typing of 98 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, isolated from patients of burn department of the Sklifosovsky First Aid Institute in January-July, 1974, and of 215 strains obtained from other sources; their sensitivity to 13 antibiotics was determined. Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures isolated from the patients were typed with O-sera of 10 serological types. The presence of several hospital strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found by means of serological typing; along with these there were revealed cultures of this causative agent sporadically appearing in the department. Sensitivity to some antibiotics could serve as an additional criterion for differentiation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of the same serological type. 相似文献

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), an indigenous bacteria in healthy people, often causes nosocomial infections. If the host human becomes compromised, MRSA can cause a serious infection. The long-term colonization of MRSA increases this risk. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the incidence of S. aureus and MRSA colonization in the oral cavities of healthy children, and to examine the stability of identical strains of MRSA over a long-term period. Fourteen children were examined in two stages (first stage: 1987–88, second stage: 1992–93). Five of the 14 children were negative for S. aureus in both stages, seven children were positive in both stages and two children were positive in only the second stage. The children who were colonized with S. aureus in the first stage always harbored the bacteria in the second stage. Of the seven children that were positive for S. aureus in both stages, three persisted in carrying MRSA. We compared two MRSA strains isolated from the same children in both stages by coagulase typing, antibiogram typing and DNA fingerprinting. In two children, the strains showed the same coagulase types, similar antibiograms and similar DNA fragment profiles. These data strongly suggest that identical strains of MRSA persisted in the oral cavities for more than five years, and that the oral cavity can serve as a reservoir for MRSA with the potential to cause nosocomial infections. 相似文献
