Staphylococcus hyicus in cattle   总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13  
Staphylococcus hyicus (subsp hyicus) was found to be a frequently occurring inhabitant of the skin of cattle. Significant numbers of this bacterium were found to be present in mange lesions of cattle between one and three years old. Experimental inoculations revealed that S hyicus had a pathogenic effect on the superficially scarified skin of young cattle.  相似文献

Culture supernatants from a number of Staphylococcus hyicus strains caused toxic effects to both murine fibroblast and porcine keratinocyte cells in culture. The extent of cytotoxicity was shown to differ between strains and may provide an indication of strain virulence. Purification of cytotoxic activity produced by S. hyicus (strain P119) using preparative isoelectric-focussing demonstrated it to be cytolytic, haemolytic and non-proteolytic. The cytotoxin demonstrates certain properties in common with the delta haemolysin of Staphylococcus aureus.  相似文献

Four phages were isolated and used for typing Staphylococcus hyicus subsp hyicus isolated from pigs with or without exudative epidermatitis (EE) in Japan. Sixty-four (85.3%) of the 75 isolates examined were typeable at either routine test dilution (RTD) or 100 X RTD. Two or more kinds of phage patterns were present in the isolates from each pig with EE. All isolates from healthy pigs showed a single-phage pattern. Fourteen (32.6%) of 43 isolates and 7 (87.5%) of 8 isolates from pigs with EE in Belgium and Czechoslovakia, respectively, were typeable with the 4 phages. None of 180 isolates of S aureus, 7 (6.4%) of 110 isolates of S intermedius, and 2 (2.3%) of 86 isolates of S epidermidis were typeable.  相似文献

Five aborted fetuses from a mature sixth-parity sow with severe greasy pig disease as a gilt, were submitted for diagnostic evaluation. Necropsy of the fetuses revealed serogelatinous edema in the SC connective tissue of the ventral abdominal region (especially around the umbilicus), exaggerated amounts of serohemorrhagic fluid in the abdominal, pleural, and pericardial cavities, and hemorrhagic kidneys, with diminished consistency. Staphylococcus hyicus was isolated in pure culture from liver, lung, kidney, and brain tissues and from abdominal, pleural, pericardial, and gastric fluids.  相似文献

Surface hydrophobicity of 90 Staphylococcus intermedius and 55 S hyicus isolates was evaluated using the hexadecane adherence assay and the ammonium sulphate salt aggregation test. A strongly positive hydrocarbon adherence in the hexadecane adherence assay was demonstrated in 11 per cent of the S intermedius isolates and 7 per cent of the S hyicus isolates. Bacterial aggregation in 1.6 M, or less, ammonium sulphate was observed in 28 per cent of the S intermedius isolates and 37 per cent of the S hyicus isolates. There was no statistical correlation between the two assays. The adherence of both bacterial species to hexadecane was eliminated when the cells were first treated with pronase and trypsin, while it was mildly enhanced by prior heat treatment (60 degrees C and 95 degrees C for up to three hours). In contrast, aggregation of S intermedius in ammonium sulphate was not influenced by trypsin pretreatment, and aggregation of both bacterial species was diminished, or eliminated, with pronase or prior 95 degrees C heat treatment. Surface hydrophobicity, as measured in both assays, appeared to have no relationship with growth patterns in serum soft agar or production of slime. Similarly, the presence or absence of substantial surface receptor activity to fibrinogen, fibronectin or IgG did not appear to be related to surface hydrophobicity.  相似文献

A plasmid of 4.550 kb, conferring resistance to tetracycline, was demonstrated in Staphylococcus hyicus cultures from piglets with exudative epidermidis. The plasmid-encoded properties were determined both by curing and interspecific protoplast transformation experiments. The tetracycline resistance (TET) plasmid, designated pST1, was characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis and a preliminary restriction map was constructed. The pST1 plasmid was demonstrated in 19 (57.6%) of 33 S. hyicus cultures by Southern blot hybridization. It was also detectable by electron microscopy.  相似文献

An IgG-binding protein A homolog in Staphylococcus hyicus   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Shotgun phage display was used to identify a homolog of the IgG-binding protein staphylococcal protein A in Staphylococcus hyicus type strain CCUG 15602/ATCC 11249. This bacterium is the causative agent of exudative epidermitis in pigs and can also cause mastitis in cattle. A protein with similar features as the originally identified protein A in Staphylococcus aureus was described; an YSIRK-type signal peptide, four IgG-binding domains, a putative peptidoglycan-binding domain, and a cell wall anchoring motif (LPXTG) was present. The highest degree of similarity was to a protein A homolog in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. However, typical Xr polypeptide repeats present in the protein A of S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius could not be identified in the protein A of S. hyicus. The presence of the spa gene in ten porcine and eight bovine clinical isolates of S. hyicus was investigated by PCR. In all isolates, the spa gene could be detected but the amplicons were of two sizes. Sequence analysis of four selected PCR amplicons showed that only three IgG-binding domains were present in the protein A of clinical isolates generating a smaller spa fragment. The finding of spa in S. hyicus contributes to an increased understanding of potential virulence factors in this species.  相似文献

Abstract— Culture supernatants from six Staphylococcus hyicus isolates were concentrated by ultrafiltration and were injected intradermally into the abdominal skin of 2-week-old piglets. Two distinct types of reaction were observed; (1) a focal erythema and (2) an exfoliative reaction with crusting. The severity of these reactions and the number of animals affected differed between isolates. The exfoliative reaction observed in these skin tests may be a good indicator of virulence. Résumé— Les surnageants de six souches de Staphylococcus hyicus ont été concentrés par ultrafiltration et furent injectés par voie intradermique dans la peau de l'abdomen de porcelets ägés de deux semaines. Deux types distincts de réactions furent observés: (1) un éryhème focal et (2) une réaction d'exfoliation avec apparition de croûtes. L'intensité de ces réactions et le nombre d'animaux atteints différaient selon les souches. La réaction d'exfoliation observée lors de ces tests pourrait être un bon indicateur de virulence. Zusammenfassung— Überstände der Kultur von sechs Staphylococcus hyicus-Isolaten wurden durch Ultra-zentrifugieren konzentriert und bei 2 Wochen alten Ferkeln intradermal in die Abdominalhaut injiziert. Es konnten zwei deutlich unterscheidbare Reaktionen beobachtet werden: (1) ein fokales Erythem und (2) eine exfoliative Reaktion mit Krustenbildung. Die Schwere dieser Reaktionen und die Zahl der betroffenen Tiere war je nach Isolat unterscheidlich. Die exfoliative Reaktion bei diesen Hauttests könnte ein guter Indikator für die Virulenz sein. Resumen Los sobrenadantes de 6 cultivos diferentes de Staphylococcus hyicus se concentraron mediante ultrafiltración y se inyectaron via intradérmica en la piel abdominal de lechones de dos semanas de edad. Se observaron dos tipos de reacción: (1) un eritem focal y (2) una reacción exfoliativa y costrosa. La gravedad de las reacciones y el nümero de animales afectados variaba en functión del cultivo utilizado. La reacción exfoliativa que se observó en estos tests intradérmicos puede ser un buen indicador de virulencia.  相似文献

The presence and quantity of protein A in Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus isolates were examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoelectron microscopy. Cell-bound protein A was demonstrated in 45 (94%) of 48 isolates from diseased pigs and in 113 (86%) of 132 isolates from healthy pigs by ELISA using peroxidase-conjugated rabbit antibody, but was not found in isolates from chickens and cows. Most of these swine isolates contained about 100 to 300 ng of cell-bound protein A/ml. Extracellular protein A was not detected in any isolates from pigs, chickens or cows. In the immunoelectron microscopy assay, swine isolates were labeled with goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to colloidal gold particles, but chicken and cow isolates were not labeled.  相似文献

Besides their role as commensals on the skin and mucosal surfaces, staphylococci may be involved in a wide variety of diseases in animals. Staphylococcal infections in animals are mainly treated with antimicrobial agents and as a consequence, staphylococci from animal sources have developed and/or acquired resistance to the respective antimicrobial agents. Resistance statistics obtained from national monitoring programmes on staphylococci from cattle and pigs, but also from surveillance studies on staphylococci involved in diseases in dogs are reported and reviewed with regard to their comparability. This review mainly focusses on the genetic basis of antimicrobial resistance in staphylococci of animal origin. Particular attention is paid to resistance to those antimicrobial agents which are most frequently used in veterinary medicine, but also to antimicrobial agents, such as chloramphenicol and mupirocin, which are used in specific cases for the control of staphylococcal infections in pets and companion animals. In addition, plasmids and transposons associated with the respective resistance properties and their ways of spreading between members of the same or different staphylococcal species, but also between staphylococci and other gram-positive bacteria, are described.  相似文献

Staphylococcus chromogenes and Staphylococcus hyicus showed bacteriolytic activities towards a Micrococcus luteus reference strain. This was demonstrated on tryptone soya agar containing M. luteus cells. Both bacteriolytic enzymes could be isolated by ionic exchange chromatography and subsequent gel filtration. The isolated bacteriolysin of S. chromogenes lysed the M. luteus reference culture, was heat inactivated by 95 degrees C and precipitated specifically with antiserum produced against the bacteriolysin of S. hyicus.  相似文献

Staphylococcus hyicus-cultures, isolated from piglets and cattle with skin lesions were investigated for their plasmid content and their resistance to antimicrobial agents and heavy metals. Several plasmids of different sizes could be detected in most of the 32 "porcine" S. hyicus-isolates, whereas none of the 20 "bovine" S. hyicus-cultures possessed any plasmid. The "porcine" S. hyicus-isolates were much more resistant to antimicrobial substances than the "bovine" S. hyicus-cultures. However, the "porcine" and "bovine" S. hyicus-cultures did not differ in their resistance to heavy metals.  相似文献

Exfoliative toxin was isolated from the sterile cell-free filtrate of 24 h culture of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus strain P-1. The partial purification of exfoliative toxin produced by S. hyicus (shET) was performed by precipitation with 50-80% saturated ammonium sulfate, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-75 column and column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Partially purified shET (pp-shET) caused exfoliation in piglets at 8 to 12 h after intradermal or subcutaneous injection. However, heat-treated pp-shET did not cause exfoliation in piglets for up to 24 h after injection. On histopathological examination of the skin at 12 h after injection of pp-shET, an intraepidermal cleavage plane was shown between the stratum corneum and stratum granulosum and at the stratum granulosum.  相似文献

The extracellular proteases of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus were assayed by a zymogram showing caseinolysis and gelatinolysis. Four bands were associated with caseinolysis or with gelatinolysis. The patterns shown by strains isolated from pigs, chickens and cows were compared; isolates from pigs differed from those isolated from chickens or cows but strains isolated from diseased and healthy pigs could not be differentiated.  相似文献

The Staph-Zym system was evaluated as a means for identifying cultures of Staphylococcus hyicus isolated from pigs and bovines and cultures of Staphylococcus intermedius isolated from canines. The selected cultures had been identified by conventional methods. The Staph-Zym system correctly identified all 52 S. hyicus and all 33 S. intermedius. It is concluded that the Staph-Zym system is a practical and reliable test for identifying mostly animal pathogenic S. hyicus and S. intermedius, and might possibly be useful for veterinary microbiologists.  相似文献
