Isolation and preliminary characterization of a novel Helicobacter species from swine

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a Helicobacter sp similar to Helicobacter pylori in the stomachs of humans could be isolated from the stomachs of pigs. ANIMALS: 4 young conventionally reared and 21 gnotobiotic pigs. PROCEDURE: Gastric mucosal homogenates (10% wt/vol) from 4 young conventionally reared pigs were cultured on Skirrow medium under microaerophilic conditions to assess the presence of Helicobacter spp. Colonies with morphologic features compatible with Helicobacter organisms were selected, tested for urease activity, and subpassaged on Skirrow medium. Isolates were examined via SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and reciprocal western blot analyses involving convalescent sera from monoinfected gnotobiotic pigs. RESULTS: Urease- and catalase-positive, gram-negative, microaerophilic, small, curved rod bacteria were isolated from the gastric mucosa of young healthy pigs. The first isolate (2662) was structurally and immunologically closely related to H pylori isolated from humans. The second isolate (1268) displayed an SDS-PAGE profile dissimilar to that of H pylori and isolate 2662, yet it shared limited immunologic cross-reactivity with these microbes. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Findings of this study indicate that development of gastric mucosal ulcers and ulceration of the nonglandular pars esophagea in pigs may be associated with gastric colonization by swine-origin Helicobacter spp, which are similar to H pylori isolated from humans.

Isolation and identification of motile Aeromonas species from chicken.

In this study a total of 140 broiler carcasses and carcass parts purchased at different supermarkets in Ankara including 50 whole carcass, 30 wing, 30 leg and 30 breast samples were analysed for the presence of motile Aeromonas species. According to analysis findings, motile Aeromonas spp. were isolated from 116 (82.9%) of total 140 samples. The distribution of the isolates were 94%, 86.6%, 80%, 63.3% in broiler carcass, wing, leg and breast samples, respectively. Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated the most prevalent species with 56% the range followed by Aeromonas sobria with 29.3% and Aeromonas caviae with 14.7% from all of the carcass and carcass part samples, respectively. Consequently, it was supposed that, examined broiler carcass and carcass parts have been contaminated to important level with motile Aeromonas species and it has been risk for public health.

Isolation and species distribution of staphylococci from animal and human skin

From April 1999 to December 2000, a survey was made on the distribution of Staphylococcus species on the skin of 7 kinds of animals and humans. Staphylococci were isolated from 12 (100%) of 12 pigs, 17 (89.5%) of 19 horses, 30 (100%) of 30 cows, 73 (90.1%) of 81 chickens, 10 (40%) of 25 dogs, 23 (76.7%) of 30 laboratory mice, 20 (52.6%) of 38 pigeons, and 80 (88.9%) of 90 human beings. The predominant staphylococci isolated from a variety of animal species were novobiocin-resistant species, S. xylosus and S. sciuri regardless of the animal host species. The novobiocin-resistant species including S. xylosus and S. sciuri were only occasionally isolated from human skin. The predominant staphylococci found on human skin were novobiocin-sensitive species, S. epidermidis (63.8%), followed by S. warneri (28.8%) and S. hominis (13.8%). The results suggest that the staphylococcal flora inhabiting animal skin are different from those of human skin in regard to the predominant species isolated. In this study, we used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to examine the chromosomal polymorphisms of S. epidermidis isolated most frequently from human skin. Strains of S. epidermidis showed the greatest genomic diversity in their fragment patterns.     

Isolation of five species ofeimeria from chickens in Bangladesh

Five species of Eimeria, namely E. acervulina, E. tenella, E. maxima, E. brunetti and E. necatrix were identified in chickens in Bangladesh on the basis of lesions seen at post-mortem examinations of naturally infected birds, and on the dimensions of oocysts and the lesions seen in chicks experimentally infected with single oocyst derived strains. The use of filter top, polycarbonate cages permitted the isolation of strains without sophisticated animal isolators and is appropriate for use in laboratories throughout the developing world. Responses to a questionnaire sent to all known intensive poultry farms suggested that coccidiosis is a major disease. For control, producers rely mostly on management procedures and the tactical use of sulphonamides; in-feed chemoprophylaxis is not widely used. These control measures are unsatisfactory and recent coccidiosis outbreaks were reported from seven of 16 farms. There was evidence of a seasonal incidence in clinical coccidiosis.

Isolation of Malassezia species from healthy cats and cats with otitis

Lipid-dependent Malassezia species have recently been cultured from veterinary specimens. The identification of Malassezia species isolates from animals is important to clarify the epidemiology of these lipophilic yeasts. Malassezia species were cultured from the external ear canals of 63 out of 99 cats with otitis and 12 of 52 (23%) healthy control cats. The rate of isolation in affected animals versus controls was highly significant (P<0.01). Malassezia pachydermatis was isolated as a pure culture in 33 (45.2%) cats, associated with Malassezia globosa and Malassezia furfur in 20 (50%) and 17 (42.5%) animals, respectively. Three different species were isolated simultaneously in three cats (two cats with M pachydermatis, M globosa and M furfur, one subject with M pachydermatis, M furfur and Malassezia sympodialis). M globosa was isolated as the sole species in two animals. The present work confirms the presence of some lipid-dependent species of Malassezia in both healthy and otitic cats.     

Isolation of Mycobacterium bovis and other mycobacterial species from ferrets and stoats

As part of wildlife surveillance for bovine tuberculosis, pooled lymph nodes from 21,481 ferrets, 1056 stoats and 83 weasels were cultured for mycobacteria. A total of 268 isolates of Mycobacterium bovis were obtained from ferrets, 2 from stoats and none from weasels, demonstrating the presence of a wildlife reservoir of infection in ferrets. DNA typing by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) of 48 selected isolates of M. bovis revealed 23 REA types. Twenty-one of these types had previously been isolated from cattle and farmed deer, demonstrating a complex cycle of infection involving wildlife and domestic animals. Apart from M. bovis, a further 208 mycobacterial isolates were obtained, the majority of which (178) were members of the M. avium complex. Speciation of the remaining 30 mycobacterial isolates by DNA sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene, identified half the isolates as M. triplex. Other species identified included M. fortuitum, M. florentinum, M. interjectum, M. intracellulare, M. holsaticum, and M. septicum/M. peregrinum.
