Bacteriophage typing was performed on 1911 S. agona, lactose-fermenting strains. These strains were isolated from hospitalised newborns and neonates patients. Out of 1911 strains 98.8% were typable by means of phage set prepared for strains differentiation of Salmonella agona showing typical biochemical properties. It was shown that in 16 provinces from which the strains were obtained in 1983-1985 type V (49.5%) and type XI (25.4%) prevailed. Subtypes VA and VB were distinguished within type V. Altogether 20.3% of strains were classified as belonging to these subtypes. Their lytic reaction was weaker with phages 3, 4, and 9 with the characteristic range of phage type V strains. Among tested strains types I, XIII, and XVI were also represented composing 2, 6, 0, 9, and 0.3% of total number of strains respectively. 1.5% of strains were nontypable and 0.2% showed lytic reactions different from that included in up to now used scheme of typing. It can be concluded that lactose-fermenting S. agona strains show susceptibility to lowered number of phages than typical for Salmonella species strains. It seems that differentiation of this atypical biochemical variant of S. agona with, the use of phage set used up to now may be also usefull in practice as it is the case in respect to strains with typical biochemical properties. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To explain an increase in the incidence of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella agona in Israel between October 1994 and January 1995 in the light of an outbreak of S agona phage type 15 infection in England and Wales caused by consumption of a ready to eat savoury snack produced in Israel. DESIGN: Epidemiology of S agona in 1994-5 was analysed and two consecutive, case-control studies of 32 and 26 case-control pairs were performed. Phage typing and molecular methods were used to characterise strains of S agona isolated from cases and samples of the snack in Israel and England and Wales. RESULTS: The increase in the incidence of S agona between October 1994 and January 1995 was countrywide. Cases of infection with group B salmonella increased from 60% to 80% in children under 5 years old. In both case-control studies, cases consumed more of the snack than did controls (4.25 v 2.94 packets per week in the first study (P = 0.086) and 4.04 v 2.37 packets per week in the second study (P = 0.034)). When the two studies were combined there was a significant dose-response relation for the number of packets consumed weekly. Compared with consumption of less than two packets, the odds ratio was 1.43 for between two and six packets and 3.37 for seven or more packets (chi 2 for trend = 5.27, P = 0.02) S agona phage type 15 was isolated from a packet of the snack sold in Israel, and the strain was identical with those isolated from packets and cases in Israel and England and Wales. CONCLUSIONS: This outbreak of S agona was caused by the contamination of a snack produced in Israel. Even under modern operating conditions, large, widespread international outbreaks of foodborne disease can occur. The success of this investigation resulted from excellent international collaboration between public health authorities. 相似文献

The object of the investigation was the evaluation of the susceptibility to antibiotic and chemotherapeutic agents of 240 strains of Salmonella agona isolated from different sources (human, food and environment) obtained from five Brazilian states (Minas Gerais, S?o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul). The presence of R factors in 26 representative strains of the sample was also determined. 相似文献

Genes for phage restriction and u. v.-protection, carried by some Coll plasmids, are useful markers of plasmids carried by host bacteria. Colicinogeny, with associated marker characters, may prove useful for strain differentiation as it did, in this study, with strains of Salmonella agona involved in an outbreak. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To identify the source of an international outbreak of food poisoning due to Salmonella agona phage type 15 and to measure how long the underlying cause persisted. DESIGN: Case-control study of 16 primary household cases and 32 controls of similar age and dietary habit. Packets of the implicated foodstuff manufactured on a range of days were examined for salmonella. All isolates of the epidemic phage type were further characterised by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. RESULTS: 27 cases were identified, of which 26 were in children. The case-control study showed a strong association between infection with S agona phage type 15 and consumption of a peanut flavoured ready to eat kosher savoury snack imported from Israel. S agona phage type 15 was isolated from samples of this snack. The combined food sampling results from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Israel showed that contaminated snacks were manufactured on at least seven separate dates during a four month period between October 1994 and February 1995. Voluntary recalls of the product successfully interrupted transmission. CONCLUSIONS: Rapid international exchanges of information led to the identification of the source of a major outbreak of S agona in Israel and of associated cases in North America. The outbreak showed the value of the Salm-Net surveillance system and its links outside Europe, both for increasing case ascertainment and for improving the information on the duration of the fault at the manufacturing plant. 相似文献

Streptococcal ecovars associated with different animal species: epidemiological significance of serogroups and biotypes 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Traditionally the classification and identification of streptococci from clinical and veterinary sources have been based on the serogrouping of the carbohydrate antigens of the cell walls by the method of Lancefield (1933). This classification, devised for beta-haemolytic streptococci, was unable to accommodate all streptococci because many alpha and non-haemolytic strains do not possess the groupspecific antigen. 相似文献

AIMS: To investigate contamination of surfaces on a poultry slaughter line from infected poultry and subsequent cross-contamination of non-infected poultry. METHODS AND RESULTS: A broiler slaughterhouse was investigated for the presence of Salmonella on 17 defined points over two 1-week periods. Flocks supplied to slaughter and neck skin samples from processed chicken were likewise investigated. Salmonella was detected in 10 out of 18 flocks at ante-mortem inspection, while seven flocks tested positive in the finished products. Equipment at all but one control point at the slaughter line tested positive at least once during the study. The chicken receiving area was the most contaminated. By comparison of typing results from serotyping, plasmid profile typing and phage typing, direct evidence for cross-contamination with Salm. serotype Typhimurium, Salm. Serotype 4.12:b:- and Salm. serotype Virchow on the slaughter line was obtained for four of the flocks. The cleaning procedure in place did not remove all Salmonella from the contaminated areas. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence for contamination of equipment on a slaughter line and subsequent cross-contamination to non-infected chicken was provided by typing methods. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study has provided detailed information on cross-contamination on a slaughter line by the use of phage typing and plasmid profiling. The study stresses the importance of controlling Salmonella in the primary production, as contamination of the equipment on the slaughter line will act as a vehicle to contaminate finished products. Cleaning procedures on slaughter lines cannot be expected to control this problem with the current equipment. 相似文献

Strains of Salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 were more invasive for young chicks than strains of phage types 7, 8 and 13a. This may be one of the factors which has contributed to the establishment of Salm. enteritidis phage type 4 in poultry in the UK. 相似文献

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was applied to 35 and 34 isolates, respectively, of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage types DT 9 and DT 135, using eight primer pair combinations. Eight and 17 AFLP types were observed in DT 9 and DT 135, respectively. DT 9 is rare in the UK and common in Australia, but one AFLP form dominated with 28 isolates, comprising 22 of 25 UK isolates, four of five Australian isolates, one Jamaican and one Spanish isolate. Of the others, two UK isolates are closely related to the major form, two from elsewhere are in the major cluster and three isolates from different countries are in a separate cluster. For DT 135, two closely related AFLP types of seven and 11 isolates form the major cluster, which also includes 11 isolates, mostly in single-isolate AFLP types, while five isolates from different countries form a well-separated minor cluster. For both DTs all isolates are grouped together if only the phage type specific bands identified earlier are used, confirming their value for molecular-based 'phage typing'. Polymorphic markers identified in this study could also be used for subtyping within both phage types. The value of AFLP is in locating DNA fragments useful for typing, but implementation of a replacement typing scheme would probably involve multiplex PCR or microarray technologies. 相似文献
