中国对虾糠虾幼体病原哈氏弧菌的鉴定及毒力基因检测

2011年春季对江苏连云港某对虾育苗场中国对虾Fenneropenaeus chinensis病死糠虾幼体分离到优势生长菌,对分离菌进行致病性、形态与生理生化特征及16S rRNA和gyrB基因同源性与系统发育分析。结果显示,引起糠虾幼体大量死亡的病原为哈氏弧菌Vibrio harveyi,菌株kx1对中国对虾仔虾和日本对虾仔虾的半数致死量LD50分别为2.0×106CFU/ml和7.0×105CFU/ml。为进一步明确分离菌株毒力基因的携带情况,进行了分离鉴定的4株病原菌对群体效应调节基因(luxR)、毒力调控基因(toxR)、溶血素基因(vhhA和vhhB)、金属蛋白酶基因(vhpA和vhpB)、毒力相关基因(toxS)、鞭毛结构基因(flaA)及锌金属蛋白酶基因(pap6)共9种毒力基因的检测,结果表明,4株病原菌均可检测到luxR、toxR、vhhA、vhhB和pap6毒力基因,扩增片段大小分别为679、390、1324、216和355 bp,其他4种毒力基因未检测到。分离鉴定的4株病原哈氏弧菌携带相同的毒力基因,这些毒力基因可作为检测致病性哈氏弧菌的生物学标记。     

凡纳滨对虾中发光坎氏弧菌的分离、鉴定及致病性

为研究凡纳滨对虾死亡的致病机理,实验采用TCBS培养基从濒死凡纳滨对虾肝胰腺分离到浅绿色、直径3～7 mm的发荧光菌落;革兰氏染色为阴性短杆菌;经API20E鉴定,分离株PvL-1与坎氏弧菌参考菌株CAIM249相似度为90%;fitZ序列与坎氏弧菌CP020076相似度为99.31%;gapA序列与坎氏弧菌EF596552相似度为98.89%;采用坎氏弧菌种特异性引物对PvL-1进行PCR分析,可扩增出坎氏弧菌种特异性片段,不能扩增出轮虫弧菌和哈维氏弧菌特异性片段,上述结果表明PvL-1为坎氏弧菌成员。分离菌株在10%脱纤维羊血平板呈β溶血,脱脂奶粉平板出现明显透明圈,表明存在溶血性和胞外蛋白酶活性。分析了PvL-1的急性肝胰腺坏死病、溶血素基因、菌毛基因和其他毒力基因,表明PvL-1具有AP4、TLH、vcahHly、flaC、mukF、gloB、sodB和esrB等毒力基因。PvL-1可使健康凡纳滨对虾发病死亡,濒死凡纳滨对虾与自然发病虾呈现类似症状,对凡纳滨对虾半数致死浓度(LD50)2.94×104 CFU/尾;病理组织观察发现,人工感染发病凡纳滨对虾肝胰腺小管细胞脱落、崩解、血细胞浸润等,与自然发病凡纳滨对虾病理特征相同。研究表明,本次实验分离到可发光的坎氏弧菌PvL-1,对凡纳滨对虾有较强致病性,拓展了对凡纳滨对虾发光坎氏弧菌的认知。     

Biolog GN法对不同地区养殖对虾弧菌区系的比较研究

采用Biolog细菌鉴定技术,分析来自5个国家的4个对虾养殖品种苗期及部分养成期虾体上的185株弧菌(其中24株来自成虾).结果表明:来源、种类不同的养殖对虾苗期的主要弧菌的区系组成相似,溶藻弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus)和鲨鱼弧菌(V. carchariae)(即哈维氏弧菌V. harveyi)是普遍存在的种类,同一种对虾在不同地区养殖,其区系组成略有差异;哈维氏弧菌多为对虾苗期致病菌,副溶血弧菌(V.parahaemolyticus)主要为成虾致病菌;在健康虾苗和发病虾苗体内都可分离到溶藻弧菌.     

半滑舌鳎溃疡病病原菌的分离、鉴定及其致病性分析

采用2216E和TCBS培养基分别从患溃疡病半滑舌鳎的肠道和体表病灶分离获得菌株40株,经血平板检验分离菌株的溶血活性,体外筛选并鉴定出3株潜在致病性菌株,即哈维氏弧菌、溶藻弧菌以及副溶血性弧菌。通过将3株潜在致病菌与健康半滑舌鳎的肠道上皮细胞共培养,检测病原菌刺激后半滑舌鳎肠道上皮细胞相关免疫基因的相对表达量及共培养后肠道上皮细胞的凋亡率,对病原菌的致病性进行细胞水平的筛选。结果显示,经哈维氏弧菌刺激后肠道上皮细胞白介素10基因(IL-10)表达量极显著上调,说明哈维氏弧菌引起的共培养上皮细胞免疫反应最为剧烈,且哈维氏弧菌与肠道上皮细胞共培养后导致细胞的凋亡率高达48.3%,其次为溶藻弧菌(36%)和副溶血性弧菌(34.5%),推测哈维氏弧菌为半滑舌鳎溃疡病高致病性弧菌。通过对半滑舌鳎进行浸浴回感实验,结果发现,哈维氏弧菌、溶藻弧菌和副溶血性弧菌人工回感后第6天半滑舌鳎的累计死亡率分别为100%、95%和75%,与细胞水平检测结果相吻合。实验表明,所筛选到的3株弧菌均具有较强的毒性和致病性,尤其以哈维氏弧菌致病性最强,并由此推测半滑舌鳎溃疡病可能由多种致病菌共同感染所致。     

2株副溶血弧菌不同盐度下致病性和毒力基因差异分析

副溶血弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)是常见的食源性致病菌和海水养殖动物致病菌,目前已知的毒力基因有tlh、tdh、trh、T3SS、pirA、pirB、toxR/S、orf8等。盐度是影响细菌基因表达的关键生态因子之一,为进一步探求副溶血弧菌的致病机理,对2株分别分离自海水和淡水养殖发病凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)中的副溶血弧菌在不同盐度下的生长速率、致病性进行检测,并用q-PCR方法对菌株毒力基因携带和表达情况进行定量研究。实验结果表明:海水菌株383生长速率快于淡水菌株V9,但菌株383在生长稳定期的细菌浓度明显低于菌株V9;菌株383对凡纳滨对虾的致病性明显高于菌株V9,前者的48 h半致死浓度(LD_(50))低于后者2个数量级;2株副溶血弧菌皆携带毒力基因tlh、T3SS1和pirA/B,但未检测到tdh、trh、T3SS2、toxR/S和orf8。部分毒力基因表达量检测结果显示,菌株383和菌株V9均为vcrD1表达量最高,其次是pirA,vopD1表达量最低;4个毒力基因不仅在2菌株间的表达量差别较大,而且盐度对同一菌株不同毒力基因表达的影响也是不同的。2株副溶血弧菌的毒力与pirA和vcrD1的表达量呈正相关性。研究结果为探究环境因素与副溶血弧菌致病力的关系提供了科学依据,同时也提示,淡水养殖凡纳滨对虾要防范副溶血弧菌输入的风险。     

对虾养殖池中一株弧菌拮抗菌的分离鉴定

从对虾养殖池中分离出1株编号为2013082515(简称菌株15)的菌株,以鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)、哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)和副溶血弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)为指示菌,分析了菌株15对指示菌的抑菌效果及最低抑菌浓度,同时,分析了菌株15对其他7株弧菌的抑菌效果.结果显示,菌株15对3株指示菌均具有抑菌效果,对鳗弧菌、哈维氏弧菌及副溶血弧菌的最低抑菌浓度分别为2.50×104、2.50×105、2.50×105 CFU/ml;对其他弧菌也具有一定的抑菌效果.采用注射及浸泡感染方法分析了菌株15对对虾的生物安全性,结果显示,在高浓度时,菌株15对对虾具有潜在毒性.分别用细菌全细胞脂肪酸气相色谱法和16S rDNA序列分析比对法对该菌进行分类鉴定,表明菌株15为一株假交替单胞菌(Pseudoalteromonas sp.).     

饲料添加益生菌对凡纳滨对虾肠道菌群、Toll受体及溶菌酶基因表达及抗感染的影响

以初体重为(7.20±1.38)g的凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)为研究对象,在室内养殖箱进行3周的养殖实验和2周的哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)人工感染实验,其中对照组每日投喂普通商品饲料,实验组每日投喂在普通商品饲料中添加地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacillus licheniformis)1.0×10~8 CFU/m L配制成的实验饲料。目的是研究饲料中添加益生菌对凡纳滨对虾肠道菌群、Toll受体及溶菌酶基因表达量和抗哈维氏弧菌能力的影响。实验结果表明,在饲料中添加地衣芽孢杆菌可显著提高对虾抗哈维氏弧菌感染的能力,其相对免疫保护率为22.22%。与对照组相比,实验组可显著降低对虾肠道内弧菌数量(P0.05)。感染哈维氏弧菌后,实验组溶菌酶(lysozyme,LZM)m RNA的相对表达量在12 h、18 h、24 h、36 h、48 h、72 h均显著高于对照组(P0.05)。实验组感染哈维氏弧菌后在6 h、12 h、18 h、24 h、36 h、48 h、72 h、7 d的Toll受体(Toll receptor)m RNA的相对表达量均显著高于对照组(P0.05)。实验结果提示:饲料中添加地衣芽孢杆菌可有效提高对虾抗哈维氏弧菌感染的能力,这种能力的提高可能是通过降低对虾肠道内的弧菌量,并提高抗病相关基因的表达量实现的。

对虾养殖池副溶血弧菌的分离鉴定及其耐药特征、毒力基因分析

为了解对虾养殖池中副溶血弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)的耐药性和毒力基因的携带情况,2018年从山东4个地区的对虾养殖池收集分离副溶血弧菌,采用Kirby-Bauer纸片法检测其对12种抗生素的耐药性,用PCR方法检测其携带耐热直接溶血素基因(tdh)和耐热相关溶血素基因(trh)的情况。从对虾养殖池共分离副溶血弧菌50株。药敏实验结果显示,副溶血弧菌对庆大霉素、硫酸新霉素和氨苄西林的耐药情况最为严重,耐药率分别高达98%、90%和86%,对氟苯尼考、氯霉素、头孢他啶等敏感性较高,耐药率分别为10%、10%和20%。88%的菌株具有多重耐药性。毒力基因检测结果显示,所有菌株均不携带tdh基因,4%的菌株表现为trh阳性。本研究表明,对虾养殖水环境中的副溶血弧菌对抗生素的耐药性较为严重,应加强副溶血弧菌的病原学监测,在养殖过程中合理使用抗生素,以实现水产养殖业健康发展。     

Characterization of Vibrio spp. Associated with Diseased Shrimp from Culture Ponds of Andhra Pradesh (India)

Abstract.— Surveys undertaken on diseases caused by Vibrio spp. in Penaeus monodon from culture ponds of coastal Andhra Pradesh recorded the occurrence of five types of diseases: tail necrosis, shell disease, red disease, loose shell syndrome (LSS), and white gut disease (WGD). Among these, LSS, WGD, and red disease caused mass mortalities in shrimp culture ponds. Six species of Vibrio—V. harveyi , V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, V. anguillarum , V. vulnificus , and V. splendidus —are associated with the diseased shrimp. The number of Vibrio spp. associated with each disease ranged from two to five. Additionally, shrimp with red disease had concurrent infections with white spot syndrome virus. Vibrio harveyi in the case of LSS and WGD, V. parahaemolyticus for red disease, and V. alginolyticus for shell disease are the major etiologcal agents. Differences occur in the degree of virulence of different species of Vibrio and also different isolates of the same species. Vibrio harveyi isolated from LSS shrimp is the most virulent. In general, all the Vibrio isolates from LSS shrimp tend to be more virulent as compared to their counterparts from other diseased shrimp. It is apparent that the degree of virulence of various Vibrio isolates depends on its source and the pond environmental conditions. Most of the Vibrio isolates showed susceptibility to oxytetracycline, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. The luminous V. harveyi exhibited resistance to many antibiotics and susceptibility to only three drugs. Considering the emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains of Vibrio , the need for using probiotics in place of antibiotics for disease control is stressed.     

Vibrio harveyi as a causative agent of mass mortalities of megalopa in the seed production of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus

Outbreaks of mass mortalities among cultured megalopa of swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) occurred in a commercial hatchery during the spring of 2012 in Jiangsu province, P. R. China. Dominant bacteria were isolated and characterized by biochemical reactions, enzyme production, and sequencing analysis of the 16S rRNA, gyrB (DNA gyrase B subunit) genes, and two strains (DY1 and DY2) were selected as representative strains for virulence tests by immersion. The results showed that the characteristics of identified strains consist with Vibrio harveyi; the 16S rRNA and gyrB genes of the tested strains exhibited high similarity with V. harveyi; and the phylogenetic trees constructed using the neighbor-joining method based on 16S rRNA and gyrB genes. Two strains (DY1 and DY2) clustered with the V. harveyi and were supported by a higher bootstrap value, and two strains (DY1 and DY2) were found lethal to the healthy megalopa and juvenile crab. LD ₅₀ of DY1 and DY2 to megalopa and juvenile crab were 2.4 × 10⁶, 3.0 × 10⁶, 1.9 × 10⁶ and 2.5 × 10⁶ CFU/ml, respectively. The results confirmed that the diseased megalopa were infected by V. harveyi. In addition, we analyzed the tested strains (DY1 and DY2) by PCR for the presence of virulence genes that were known in V. harveyi, and the results showed that five virulence genes (luxR, toxR, vhhA, vhhB and pap6) were detected by a specific PCR assay, further supporting the assignment of isolates to V. harveyi and its pathogenicity. To our knowledge, this is the first report of V. harveyi as pathogenic bacteria of megalopa of swimming crab.     

养殖环境及贝源溶藻弧菌MLST分型及其毒力基因、耐药性分析

溶藻弧菌(Vibrio alginolyticus)是近年来贝类病害中最常见的细菌性病原之一，对贝类养殖产业的健康发展构成严重威胁。本研究旨在分析不同养殖环境水体和贝类组织中，溶藻弧菌的基因变异、毒力基因、耐药性及其分布规律。对12株溶藻弧菌分离株开展多位点序列分型(multilocus sequence typing, MLST)、毒力因子以及菌株耐药性分析，结果显示，12株溶藻弧菌的序列型(sequence typing, ST)分型互不相同，7株为PubMLST数据库已经收录的ST型，5株因管家基因的等位基因位点变化而形成新的ST型，贝类养殖环境中的溶藻弧菌具有较高的遗传多样性。12株溶藻弧菌都携带tlh、fur和collagenase三种毒力基因，但均未检测到tdh、trh、toxR和tcpA毒力基因。溶藻弧菌携带毒力因子的种类和数量受地区分布等因素的影响。不同来源的溶藻弧菌均具有多重耐药特征，对青霉素和氨苄西林产生抗性。本研究表明，贝类养殖环境中的溶藻弧菌具有种群复杂、遗传多样性高的特点；不同来源菌株在毒力基因携带和耐药性方面存在较大差异。本研究通过探究不同区域内不同来源的溶藻弧菌遗传变异及耐药性差异，对贝源溶藻弧菌的有效防控提供一定理论参考。     

Comparative genome sequencing to assess the genetic diversity and virulence attributes of 15 Vibrio anguillarum isolates

Vibrio anguillarum is the causative agent of vibriosis, a deadly haemorrhagic septicaemic disease affecting various marine and fresh/brackish water fish, bivalves and crustaceans. However, the diversity and virulence mechanisms of this pathogen are still insufficiently known. In this study, we aimed to increase our understanding of V. anguillarum diversity and virulence through comparative genome analysis of 15 V. anguillarum strains, obtained from different hosts or non‐host niches and geographical regions, among which 10 and 5 strains were found to be virulent and avirulent, respectively, against sea bass larvae. First, the 15 draft genomes were annotated and screened for putative virulence factors, including genes encoding iron uptake systems, transport systems and non‐ribosomal peptide synthetases. Second, comparative genome analysis was performed, focusing on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small insertions and deletions (InDels). Five V. anguillarum strains showed a remarkably high nucleotide identity. However, these strains comprise both virulent and avirulent strains towards sea bass larvae, suggesting that differences in virulence may be caused by subtle nucleotide variations. Clearly, the draft genome sequence of these 15 strains represents a starting point for further genetic research of this economically important fish pathogen.     

哈维氏弧菌的分子遗传多样性研究

运用RAPD分型和BOX分型分子方法研究患病的海水鱼类体内和海水环境的101株哈维氏弧菌的分子遗传多样性。结果显示,从10个RAPD引物中发现只有PM2引物的分辨率和重复性较好,出现15条不同RAPD条带,在相似度65%下,101株哈维氏弧菌可以分为18种不同型;BOX分型出现20条不同的条带,在相似度为40%的情况下,可以把101株哈维式弧菌分15种不同的型;综合RAPD PM2和BOX分型,发现在相似度50%下,101株哈维氏弧菌可分18种型。综合RAPD和BOX分型数据可以很好地克服各自的缺点,得到更加准确的分型结果。     

Vibrio species isolated from diseased farmed sole,Solea senegalensis (Kaup), and evaluation of the potential virulence role of their extracellular products

Bacteria isolated from an outbreak with moderate mortalities in farmed sole, Solea senegalensis (Kaup), in the south of Spain were identified as Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus. Only bacterial strains showing swarming were virulent in sole and caused mortalities in experimentally inoculated fish. However, the signs of the disease were only reproduced with V. harveyi. The intramuscular inoculation of the extracellular products (ECPs) of both species produced mortalities in inoculated fish and the appearance of surface ulcers in the case of V. harveyi. However, the inoculation of sublethal doses of ECPs to fish showed a protective effect against V. harveyi.     

鱼源气单胞菌的毒力基因检测、分型及致病力

为调查鱼源气单胞菌毒力基因与其致病力的相关性,以2009—2018年从不同患病鱼分离的173株气单胞菌为研究对象,通过检测毒力相关基因、测定溶血活性、腹腔注射感染异育银鲫等方法开展评价。通过管家基因gyrB分子鉴定结果显示,173株气单胞菌中维氏气单胞菌(119/173,68.9%)和嗜水气单胞菌(50/173,28.9%)是主要流行的菌株。10个毒力基因aer(162/173,93.64%)、act(131/173,75.72%)、ast(55/173,31.79%)、alt(58/173,33.53%)、lip(152/173,87.86%)、exu(154/173,89.02%)、fla(143/173,82.66%)、gcaT(148/173, 85.55%)、 eprCAI(41/173, 23.70%)和ahyB(51/173, 29.48%)普遍存在于173株气单胞菌中。依据检测到的毒力基因数量从多到少分布情况,这些菌株可分为7大类(Ⅰ～Ⅶ)53个毒力基因型。大部分嗜水气单胞菌检测到8～10个毒力基因,主要分布于Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ类基因型;维氏气单胞菌的eprCAI、ahyB、 ast和alt等4个毒力基因检测率低,主要分布于Ⅳ、Ⅴ和Ⅵ类基因型。大部分气单胞菌(94.22%,163/173)具有溶血活性。代表性毒力基因型的38株维氏气单胞菌和20株嗜水气单胞菌腹腔注射异育银鲫攻毒结果显示,3.0×106 CFU/尾的剂量下,3株维氏气单胞菌使鲫死亡率达80%～100%,16株嗜水气单胞菌使鲫死亡率达90%～100%。研究表明,维氏气单胞菌是目前最主要流行的气单胞菌,但其检测到的毒力基因普遍少于嗜水气单胞菌,且对异育银鲫的致病力普遍弱于嗜水气单胞菌。本研究能够为气单胞菌败血症的流行病学调查和疫苗研究提供理论依据。     

Characterization of phenotype variations of luminescent and non‐luminescent variants of Vibrio harveyi wild type and quorum sensing mutants

Vibrio harveyi, a luminescent Gram‐negative motile marine bacterium, is an important pathogen responsible for causing severe diseases in shrimp, finfish and molluscs leading to severe economic losses. Non‐luminescent V. harveyi obtained by culturing luminescent strains under static and dark condition were reported to alter the levels of virulence factors and metalloprotease gene and luxR expression when compared to their luminescent variants. Presently, we conducted an in vitro study aiming at the characterization of virulence‐related phenotypic traits of the wild‐type V. harveyi BB120 strain and its isogenic quorum sensing mutants before and after switching to the non‐luminescent status. We measured the production of caseinase, haemolysin and elastase and examined swimming motility and biofilm formation. Our results showed that switching from the bioluminescent to the non‐luminescent state changed the phenotypic physiology or behaviour of V. harveyi resulting in alterations in caseinase and haemolytic activities, swimming motility and biofilm formation. The switching capacity was to a large extent independent from the quorum sensing status, in that quorum sensing mutants were equally capable of making the phenotypic switch.
