鸡奇异变形杆菌的分离鉴定和16S rRNA基因序列测定与系统进化分析

从山东泰安一鸡场发病雏鸡眼中分离到1株致病菌(编号为QY),通过细菌形态学等常规鉴定符合奇异变形杆菌(Proteus mirabilis)特性。用奇异变形杆菌阳性血清诊断结果呈阳性,人工感染证明该菌株是造成该鸡场雏鸡大批发病死亡的致病菌。药敏试验结果显示对头孢类、恩诺沙星等高度敏感,而对青霉素和复合磺胺等不敏感。以细菌16SrRNA基因通用引物进行PCR扩增,得到QY的16SrRNA基因序列,长约1 453bp(GenBank,登录号为GU477712)。将该序列与GenBank中序列进行Blast比对,发现与其匹配度最高的均是奇异变形杆菌各株系的16SrRNA序列,均高达98%以上。运用DNAStar软件与其中10株奇异变形杆菌分离株构建系统进化树,结果表明,分离株(QY菌株)与10个代表菌株的同源性均为98.9%～99.9%,其中与AB272366同源性最高为99.9%。从分子水平证明该菌是奇异变形杆菌并分析了其遗传进化规律,为鸡奇异变形杆菌的鉴定及其引起的疾病的诊断与治疗提供了参考。     

Sequencing of variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene for identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the intestinal microbiota of healthy salmonids

The aim of this study was to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Thirteen LAB strains were isolated from the intestinal microbiota of healthy salmonids. A approximately 500-bp region of the highly conserved 16S rRNA gene was PCR-amplified and following this, a portion of the amplicon (272-bp) including the V1 and V2 variable regions was sequenced. The sequence containing both the V1 and V2 region provided strong evidence for the identification of LAB. The LAB strains were identified as Carnobacterium maltaromaticum, Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The method described was found to be a very simple, rapid, specific, and low-cost tool for the identification of unknown strains of LAB.     

Specific identification of Gallibacterium by a PCR using primers targeting the 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA genes

Gallibacterium was recently established as a new genus including organisms previously reported as Pasteurella anatis, [Actinobacillus] salpingitidis and avian Pasteurella haemolytica-like organisms. The aim of the present study was to develop a PCR method allowing unambiguous identification of Gallibacterium. PCR primers positioned in the 16S rRNA (1133fgal) and 23S rRNA (114r) genes were defined and their specificity was subsequently tested on 122 strains. Twenty-five of the strains represented all of the presently available 15 phenotypic variants of Gallibacterium from different geographical locations, 22 other strains represented other poultry associated bacterial species or bacteria which could pose a differential diagnostic problem including members of the families Pasteurellaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Flavobacteriaceae, and finally 75 Gallibacterium field strains isolated from Mexican chicken egg-layers. Specific amplicons were generated in all 100 Gallibacterium strains tested, whereas none of the non-Gallibacterium strains tested positive. Correct identification was confirmed by hybridization with the Gallibacterium specific probe GAN850. Two internal amplification control strategies were successfully incorporated into the PCR assay, one based on amplification of the house-keeping gene rpoB (sharing target DNA) and another based on addition of trout DNA (foreign target DNA) and amplification with beta-actin specific primers. In conclusion, the described PCR assay enables specific identification of Gallibacterium and will thus stand as a strong alternative to the present diagnostic methods.

鸭疫里默氏菌16S rDNA基因的单链构象多态性分析

鸭疫里默氏菌（Riemerella anatipestifer,RA）可导致较高的死亡率和淘汰率,其流行给我国养鸭业造成了巨大的经济损失.对该病的准确诊断依赖于细菌的分离和鉴定.以往鉴定RA时,常检测其培养特性、形态染色反应、生理生化特征、菌体的某些化学组成等表型指标,但RA常缺乏特定的表型特征,迄今还没有建立起选择性的培养基,不同学者检测RA生化反应的结果也不一致.此外,在表型上RA与某些细菌还很相似,因此,仅依据表型却不足以对RA做出准确鉴定,故建立检测RA的分子生物学方法十分必要.

Intraspecific sequence variation in 16S rRNA gene of Ureaplasma diversum isolates

Ureaplasma diversum infection in bulls may result in seminal vesiculitis, balanoposthitis and alterations in spermatozoids. In cows, it can cause placentitis, fetal alveolitis, abortion and the birth of weak calves. U. diversum ATCC 49782 (serogroups A), ATCC 49783 (serogroup C) and 34 field isolates were used for this study. These microorganisms were submitted to Polymerase Chain Reaction for 16S gene sequence determination using Taq High Fidelity and the products were purified and bi-directionally sequenced. Using the sequence obtained, a fragment containing four hypervariable regions was selected and nucleotide polymorphisms were identified based on their position within the 16S rRNA gene. Forty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were detected. The genotypic variability of the 16S rRNA gene of U. diversum isolates shows that the taxonomy classification of these organisms is likely much more complex than previously described and that 16S rRNA gene sequencing may be used to suggest an epidemiologic pattern of different origin strains.

Detection of nucleolar organizer regions on chromosomes by flourescence in situ hybridization with human 28S rRNA gene and cloning of 28S rRNA gene in Sika deer

The number and loci of nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) on chromosomes in Sika deer (Cervus nippon centralis) were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization with a human 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene as a probe. Sika deer that live in Nikko National Park and its neighboring areas (Asio and Seta) in Japan were used. All of the analyzed metaphases had three or four NOR at the end of the first and second longest telocentric autosomes. Nucleolar organizer region association, which is associated specifically on parts of NOR between chromosomes, was also observed clearly. A Sika deer 28S rRNA gene was produced by a polymerase chain reaction method. The nucleotide sequence of a Sika deer 28S rRNA gene determined by an automatic sequencer was 97 bp, and showed homogeneity of 88% for the human sequence.

为研究来自河南省不同猪源的副猪嗜血杆菌(Hps)的遗传演化关系,应用PCR方法扩增所分离的良种猪源、家养野猪源和地方土猪源等3株Hps(KF0901、JZ0801和XY0501)的16S r RNA基因,并进行序列比较分析。结果 3株Hps的16S r RNA基因全长均为822 bp,彼此间核苷酸序列同源性为99.3%~99.6%,与参考菌株的核苷酸序列同源性为97.1%~99.4%;基于16S r RNA基因序列绘制的系统进化树显示,本研究中家养野猪源Hps和地方土猪源Hps均属于血清5型,而良种猪源血清5型Hps却与血清12型和血清14型的亲缘关系更近。表明Hps在良种猪、家养野猪和地方土猪之间彼此交叉感染或具有共同来源;并非所有血清5型Hps分离株都属同一分支。     

Intraspecific variation in 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma synoviae determined by DNA sequencing

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is an important avian pathogen may cause both respiratory disease and joint inflammation synovitis in poultry, causing economic losses to the Brazilian poultry industry. The genotypic variation in 16S rRNA gene is unknown. Partial sequences of 16S rRNA gene of 19 strains of M. synoviae were sequenced and analyzed in order to obtain molecular characterization and evaluation of the genetic variability of strains from distinct Brazilian areas of poultry production. Different polymorphic patterns were observed. The number of polymorphic alterations in the studied strains ranged from 0 to 6. The nucleotide variations, including deletion, insertion and substitutions, ranged from 3 to 5. The genotypic diversity observed in this study may be explained by spontaneous mutations that may occur when a lineage remains in the same flock for long periods. The culling and reposition in poultry flocks may be responsible for the entry of new strains in different areas.     

Intraspecific variation in the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma bovis strains

Intraspecific variation in the 16S rRNA genes of 17 Mycoplasma agalactiae and eight Mycoplasma bovis isolates was investigated to determine the degree of sequence variation in these two species and to determine whether the polymorphisms in the 16S rRNA genes could be used for the construction of an evolutionary tree and as epidemiological markers. A high degree of variation was found within isolates (between operons) and between isolates of both species. In contrast to M. capripneumoniae no distinct evolutionary pattern could be seen, probably because there are functional systems for gene conversion in M. agalactiae and M. bovis. However, the non-European isolates of M. agalactiae shared three characteristic nucleotides and European isolates from the same or neighbouring countries were very similar. Differences within isolates included both polymorphic positions and sequence length differences between operons. The amount of variation within isolates of the respective species ranged from zero to seven polymorphisms for M. agalactiae and from zero to four polymorphisms for M. bovis. The high degree of variation suggests the potential for misdiagnosis of species in diagnostic PCR assays based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences. All isolates of both species had a thymidine in position 912 (E. coli numbering) that causes streptomycin resistance in several bacterial species and which is characteristic for the members of the hominis group. As expected, when five M. agalactiae and three M. bovis isolates were tested for streptomycin susceptibility, they all demonstrated streptomycin resistance. M. agalactiae and M. bovis were found to have high intraspecific variation in their 16S rRNA gene and the polymorphisms patterns indicate that gene conversion takes place.

Characterization of the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions among strains of the Fusobacterium necrophorum cluster

The 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) of Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp. necrophorum and F. necrophorum subsp. funduliforme were characterized. Products of two sizes, about 360 bp (small) and 530 bp (large), were generated by PCR amplification from the 16S-23S rRNA ISR of all the strains tested. The large and small 16S-23S rRNA ISRs of F. necrophorum exhibited a level of sequence similarity of 93.9% to 99.7% and 94.2% to 98.6% homologies within the species, respectively. Only the large spacer regions in these bacteria contained one or two tRNA genes. F. necrophorum subsp. necrophorum contains the isoleucine and alanine tRNA gene, whereas F. necrophorum subsp. funduliforme contains the isoleucine tRNA gene.     

Phylogenetic analysis of Mycoplasma suis isolates based on 16S rRNA gene sequence in China

To perform phylogenetic analysis of Mycoplasma suis isolates derived from China to define the nature of this pathogen, nearly complete of 16S rRNA genes from Chongqing, Sichuan, Henan and Guangdong isolates were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The four sequences from the blood samples in this study, with other 17 Hemoplasmas sequences and related 3 mycoplasma sequences available in the GenBank, were aligned using Clustal X (version 1.83) sequences alignment program. Maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining and minimum evolution (MEGA 4.0) algorithms were used to create phylogenetic trees. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences showed that all hemoplasma species were located within a single clade and were most closely related to M. pneumoniae group. The hemoplasma species were further subdivided into two distinct groups, one containing M.wenyonii, M.suis and Candidatus M. haemominutum and the other containing M. haemofelis and M. haemocanis. Within the former clade, four M.suis isolates from Mainland China and other M.suis species formed a monophyletic group in the tree. A tendency of clear geographical grouping of the isolate was evident.     

Specificity of oligonucleotide probes complementary to evolutionarily variable regions of 16S rRNA from Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis.

Mycoplasma is the common name for the smallest free-living microorganisms, the Mollicutes. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is of great importance in veterinary medicine, causing enzootic pneumonia in pigs. M hyorhinis can cause polyserositis and may cause pneumonia in piglets. Oligonucleotides complementary to variable regions of 16S rRNA from these mycoplasmas were designed and used as probes for detection and identification of these mycoplasmas. The probe complementary to 16S rRNA of M hyorhinis gave a very weak cross-hybridisation with M hyosynoviae in filter hybridisation experiments, but not with any of the other porcine mycoplasmas tested. Three oligonucleotide probes complementary to M hyopneumoniae 16S rRNA were tested. One of the probes (Mhp6/30) was found to be specific to M hyopneumoniae, but the other two gave cross-hybridisation with M flocculare. Using the Mhp6/30 probe in direct filter hybridisation experiments, it proved possible to detect M hyopneumoniae in lung biopsies from experimentally infected pigs.     

Sequence of 16S rRNA gene of rat-origin cilia-associated respiratory (CAR) bacillus SMR strain

The 16S rRNA gene of the SMR strain of cilia-associated respiratory (CAR) bacillus, which was isolated from a spontaneously infected rat at our institute, was sequenced. Its 1,521 nucleotides were determined. On the basis of the results of the sequence analysis, the SMR strain was found to be most closely related to members of the Flavobacter/Flexibacter group. This sequence was compared with the previously determined 16S rRNA gene sequences (rat-origin: three; mouse-origin: one; rabbit-origin: one) of CAR bacillus isolates. The SMR strain showed the highest sequence similarity (99.9%) to the rat-origin CARB-NIH strain (Schoeb et al., 1993), and it was concluded that the strains are identical.
