[Method] The diseased chick samples were collected for bacteriological examination. Through bacterial isolation culture, PCR identification, biochemical test and animal test, 5 strains of S. pullorum were identified. [Result] When the isolates were inoculated into SPF chicks, the same disease cases with natural infection could be reproduced. [Conclusion] S. pullorum is the major cause of the disease in chicken farm.展开更多

Pullorum） ghost was constructed using an antimicrobial peptide gene, and evaluated for its potential as a Pullorum disease （PD） vaccine candidate. The antimicrobial peptide SMAP29 was co-expressed with lysis gene E to generate S. Pullorum ghosts. No viable bacteria were detectable either in the fermentation culture after induction of gene E- and SMAP29-mediated lysis for 24 h or in the lyophilized ghost products. Specific-pathogen- free （SPF） chicks were intraperitoneally immunized with ghosts at day 7 of age and no mortality, clinical symptoms or signs of PD such as anorexia, depression and diarrhea were observed. On challenge with a virulent S. Pullorum strain at 4 wk post-immunization, a comparatively higher level of protection was observed in the S. Pullorum ghost immunized chickens with a minimum of pathological lesions and bacterial loads compared to the birds in inactivated vaccine groups. In addition, immunization with the S. Pullorum ghosts induced a potent systemic IgG response and was associated with significantly increased levels of cytokine IFN-y and IL-4 and relative percentages of CD4＋ and CD8＋ T lymphocytes. Our results indicate that SMAP29 can be employed as a new secondary lethal protein to enhance the safety of bacterial ghosts, and to prepare a non-living bacterial vaccine candidate that can prevent PD in chickens.展开更多

In this study, we prepare the fluorescent nanoparticles as a marker, covalently conjugate with monoclonal antibodies of Salmonella pullorum. The whole Salmonella pullorum antigen and goat anti-mouse antibody sprayed on the nitrocellulose membranes are used as test line and control line. The fluorescence nanoparticles immune based lateral flow strips are made according to the principle of antigen-antibody immune response. The test strips may interpret results within 30 min. The results of the salmonella A, S. agona, S. chester and S. arechavaleta are positive, including, S. agona for weakly positive. After analysis, it is found that in addition to the salmonella of group A, the other positive salmonella are in group B. But it is negative of S. derby, S. rissen, and other 6 kinds of salmonella, with good specificity. The fluorescence nanoparticles immune based lateral flow strips are a little of sample can be detected fast, easily, inexpensive, easy to universal without professional technical personnel detection method. It provides a new detection method for the detections of Salmonella pullorum.展开更多
