牛支原体双重PCR检测方法的建立

为鉴别牛支原体(Mycoplasma bovis)与丝状支原体丝状亚种SC(M.mycoides subsp.mycoides SC),本实验通过优化M.bovis特异性引物pMB81-1/pMB81-2s和MmmSC特异性引物SC1/SC2的退火温度,建立了鉴别M.bovis和MmmSC的双重PCR检测方法。该方法能够分别由M.bovis和MmmSC扩增得到528bp和270bp片段。敏感性试验结果显示该方法检测M.bovis和MmmSC培养物的最低浓度分别为106cfu/mL和105cfu/mL。特异性试验结果显示,该方法对无乳支原体代表株PG2、丝状支原体丝状亚种LC型代表株Y-goat、山羊支原体山羊肺炎亚种Mccp、绵羊支原体Y-98、猪鼻支原体BST-7、巴氏杆菌以及结核分枝杆菌扩增结果均为阴性。应用该方法对临床病料的检测结果与培养鉴定结果的符合率为100%,表明该方法具有良好的特异性和敏感性,可以应用于临床检测。     

Immunobinding assay for detection of Mycoplasma bovis in milk.

An immunobinding dot-blot assay (IBA) was developed for the detection of mycoplasma in milk. The test was highly species specific when monoclonal antibody preparations were employed in the assay system. Reactions were obtained with all mycoplasma species tested when polyclonal antisera preparations were used. Preincubation for 48-72 hours was necessary with milk samples containing only a few mycoplasma. Time from sample receipt to diagnosis in most positive samples could be reduced from several days by culture to a few hours by the IBA, thus enabling control procedures to be quickly initiated.     

Development of real-time PCR assay for the detection of Mycoplasma bovis

Mycoplasma bovis is one of the important bovine mycoplasma involved in economically important clinical conditions like respiratory diseases, otitis media, and mastitis. The present study was undertaken with the objective of developing a SYBR Green dye-based real-time PCR assay targeting uvrC gene for the diagnosis of M. bovis. The analytical sensitivity and specificity of the assay were evaluated. The test showed 10³-fold more sensitivity than conventional PCR and detected down to 100 fg level of DNA. It was found to be specific, as no cross reactivity was shown with other related bacteria and Mycoplasma species. The developed assay was able to detect down to 40 copies of uvrC gene from spiked bovine milk samples. At present, this developed assay may be used as a valuable diagnostic tool for the detection of Mycoplasma bovis.

     

Detecting Mycoplasma bovis in milk by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using monoclonal antibodies

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using monoclonal antibodies, was used to detect Mycoplasma bovis in milk samples from a dairy experiencing an epizootic of mastitis. This method was specific (100%) for M bovis. Broth enrichment increased the sensitivity from 65% to 86%, compared with standard culture methods.     

Mycoplasma bovis pneumonia in cattle

Mycoplasma bovis is an important and emerging cause of respiratory disease and arthritis in feedlot cattle and young dairy and veal calves, and has a variety of other disease manifestations in cattle. M. bovis is certainly capable of causing acute respiratory disease in cattle, yet the attributable fraction has been difficult to estimate. In contrast, M. bovis is more accepted as a cause of chronic bronchopneumonia with caseous and perhaps coagulative necrosis, characterized by persistent infection that seems poorly responsive to many antibiotics. An understanding of the disease has been recently advanced by comparisons of natural and experimentally induced disease, development of molecular diagnostic tools, and understanding some aspects of virulence, yet uncertainties regarding protective immunity, the importance of genotypic diversity, mechanisms of virulence, and the role of co-pathogens have restricted our understanding of pathogenesis and our ability to effectively control the disease. This review critically considers the relationship between M. bovis infection and the various manifestations of the bovine respiratory disease complex, and addresses the pathogenesis, clinical and pathologic sequelae, laboratory diagnosis and control of disease resulting from M. bovis infection in the bovine respiratory tract.     

Mycoplasma bovis infections in cattle

Mycoplasma bovis is a pathogen causing respiratory disease, otitis media, arthritis, mastitis, and a variety of other diseases in cattle worldwide. It is increasingly recognized by the veterinary and livestock communities as having an important impact on the health, welfare, and productivity of dairy and beef cattle. M. bovis diseases can be difficult to diagnose and control because of inconsistent disease expression and response to treatments and vaccines, and large gaps in our understanding of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of these diseases. There are limited data on which to base evidence-based decisions for treatment and control, and the literature contains differing clinical biases and opinions. This document is intended for veterinarians dealing with cattle and is focused on the cattle production systems of North America. The goal of the consensus statement panel was to encourage an evidence-based approach to M. bovis problems. The scientific literature was critically reviewed, including peer-reviewed journal articles and reviews obtained by database searches using the terms "Mycoplasma bovis" or "mycoplasma + cattle." Where other data were lacking, conference proceedings were reviewed as a source of expert opinion.

Detection of antibody to Mycoplasma F38 in goat sera by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Summary An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to screen goat sera at a single dilution for antibody to mycoplasma F38. Antibody was detected in sera of six convalescent goats following experimental infection. Antibody was also detected in 34 sera three to four weeks after vaccination. No antibody was detected in 164 sera from goats without a history of vaccination or infection with contagious caprine pleuropneumonia. The ELISA was more sensitive than the complement fixation test in detecting antibody in vaccinated goats.

Deteccion De Anticuerpos Contra Micoplasma F38 En Suero Caprino Mediante La Prueba Elisa

Resumen Se utilizó la prueba ELISA para detectar anticuerpos contra micoplasma F38. Se detectaron anticuerpos en el suero de seis cabras convalecientes, después de la infección experimental. Los anticuerpos también se detectaron en 34 sueros, tres a cuatro semanas después de la vacunación. Ciento sesenta y cuatro sueros de cabras sin historia de vacunación e infección con pleuroneumonía caprina, se encontraron libres de anticuerpos. La prueba enzimática ELISA fue más sensitiva que la prueba de fijación de complemento para detectar anticuerpos en cabras vacunadas.

Detection De l'Anticorps Dirige Vers Le Mycoplasma F38 Dans Des Serums De Chevre Par Un Test Immuno-Enzymatique

Résumé Un test immuno-enzymatique indirect (ELISA) a été développé pour trier à une seule dilution les sérums de chèvre vis-à-vis de l'anticorps anti-mycoplasma F38. L'anticorps a été détecté dans les sérums de six chèvres convalescentes après infection expérimentale. L'anticorps a également été détecté dans 34 sérums trois à quatre semaines après vaccination. Les sérums de 164 chèvres sans commémoratifs de vaccination ou d'infection par la pleuropneumonie contagieuse caprine ne possédaient pas d'anticorps. L'ELISA est plus sensible que le test de fixation du complément pour détecter l'anticorps chez les chèvres vaccinées.

     

Application of an indirect ELISA to milk samples to identify cows with Mycoplasma bovis mastitis

An indirect ELISA was used to detect antibodies to Mycoplasma bovis in milk samples collected from a herd with M bovis mastitis. Antibodies were detected in samples from nine cows which had developed clinical M bovis mastitis. Milk from only three consistently antigen-negative cows tested positive for M bovis antibodies. These results indicate the potential value of the indirect ELISA for the detection of cows which have recently developed M bovis mastitis during the early stages of an outbreak.     

Detection of antibodies to Mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccine ts-11 by an autologous pMGA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a poultry pathogen that causes respiratory disease and loss of egg production worldwide. A live attenuated vaccine, ts-11, has been used for control of M. gallisepticum in several countries. The rapid serum agglutination test is usually used as an indicator of flock response to vaccination; however, in some flocks, the detected response may be weak or absent. With the use of specific monoclonal antibodies against M. gallisepticum strain S6 pMGA in immunoaffinity purification, the major membrane antigen of ts-11 was purified. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed with the purified antigen, and its potential for detection of antibodies induced after ts-11 vaccination was compared with an indirect ELISA with M. gallisepticum strain S6 pMGA. In the presence of high levels of ts-11-induced antibodies, both antigens detected similar numbers of positive sera. However, when lower levels of antibodies were present, ts-11 pMGA showed a higher sensitivity than S6 pMGA. Further examination of ts-11 pMGA with Mycoplasma synoviae-infected chicken sera revealed that ts-11 pMGA is specific for M. gallisepticum antibodies. With a panel of sera from ts-11-vaccinated or non-ts-11-vaccinated field chickens, the ts-11 pMGA ELISA was found to be more sensitive than the commercial rapid serum agglutination test in detecting antibodies to ts-11 vaccine. The results from this study suggest that the major membrane antigen of M. gallisepticum may have slightly different antigenic profiles in different strains, thereby necessitating the use of autologous antigens in serodiagnostic assays to increase sensitivity of the tests for mycoplasma antibodies. Thus, the low level of antibody response after ts-11 vaccination is, at least partially, due to the low ability of the current diagnostic antigens to bind ts-11 antibodies.     

Detection of antibody against Mycoplasma mycoides subsp mycoides in cattle by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The results of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) For the detection of antibody against Mycoplasma mycoides subsp mycoides are presented. Antibody was detected in the sera of cattle at least 19 months after recovery from an infection and at least 23 months after vaccination. Almost half the sera of some animals in an area of Nigera where contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is enzootic contained antibody. Antibody was rarely detected when the same sera were examined by other established serological tests, emphasising the sensitivity of the ELISA.     

Outbreak of pneumonia and arthritis in beef calves associated with Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma californicum

During an outbreak of pneumonia and arthritis in beef calves and young cattle on a large farm in north-west Germany, Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma californicum were isolated from tracheobronchial lavage fluids and synovial fluids. The microbiological findings in dead and living animals and the immunohistochemical demonstration of M californicum antigen in lung and arthritic joint tissue, indicated that under poor housing conditions and possibly other predisposing factors, this mycoplasma, like M bovis, can colonise the respiratory tract and may be able to cross the respiratory mucosal barrier to spread through an infected animal and cause systemic infections that may contribute to severe arthritis.
