Construction and Virulence of Filamentous Hemagglutinin Protein B1 Mutant of Pasteurella multocida in Chickens

Pasteurella multocida, a Gram-negative nonmotile coccobacillus, is the causative agent of fowl cholera, bovine hemorrhagic septicemia, enzoonotic pneumonia and swine atropic rhinitis. Two filamentous hemagglutinin genes, fhaB1 and JhaB2, are the potential virulence factors. In this study, an inactivationfhaB1 mutant ofP. multocida in avian strain C48-102 was constructed by a kanamycin-resistance cassette. The virulence of thefhaB1 mutant and the wild type strain was assessed in chickens by intranasal and intramuscular challenge. The inactivation offhaB1 resulted in a high degree of attenuation when the chickens were challenged intranasally and a lesser degree when challenged intramuscularly. ThefhaB1 mutant and the wild type strain were investigated their sensitivity to the antibody-dependent classical complement-mediated killing pathway in 90% convalescent chicken serum. ThefhaB1 mutant was serum sensitive as the viability has reduced between untreated serum and heat inactivated chicken serum （P〈0.007）. These results confirmed that FhaB1 played the critical roles in the bacterial pathogenesis and further studies were needed to investigate the mechanism which caused reduced virulence of the fhaB1 mutant.

Presence of <i>Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Streptococcus suis, Pasteurella multocida, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Haemophilus parasuis and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae</i>in upper respiratory tract of swine in farms from Aguascalientes, Mexico

Respiratory diseases are one of the most important health problems in pig herds. The porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) is the term used to describe pneumonic diseases caused by multiple infectious agents that provoke weight loss in animals or death. In the PRDC multiple pathogens (bacteria and/or viruses) work in combination to induce this respiratory disease. Within this complex, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Streptococcus suis, Pasteurella multocida, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Haemophilus parasuis and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae are the main bacterial pathogens involved in great economic losses to the swine industry. The aim of this work was to estimate the presence of A. pleuropneumoniae, S. suis, P. multocida, B. bronchiseptica, H. parasuis and M. hyopneumoniae in the upper respiratory tract of pigs in representative swine farms inAguascalientes,Mexico, using PCR technique. The study was performed in 14 swine farms. We obtained a total of 212 nasal swabs. Near 20% of samples were positive for A. pleuropneumoniae (located in the 79% of farms);17% were positive for S. suis (in 86% of farms), of these, 3% were S. suis serovar 2;30% were positive for H. parasuis (93% of farms);23% of the samples to P. multocida (in 79% of farms);and 19% to M. hyopneumoniae (in 64% of farms). B. bronchiseptica was not detected in this study. The results obtained show that bacterial pathogens of PRDC were present in the upper respiratory tract of pigs in all farms studied;therefore, these pathogens are widely disseminated in pig farms of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Isolation and Identification of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida Species from Ruminants in Six Different Regions in Morocco

Pasteurella species is considered the principal pathogen of the respiratory tract.Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida were investigated and typed from nasal swabs and tissues taken from sheep,goat and cattle.Indeed,41 lung and 121 nasal swabs samples were collected from animals with respiratory diseases during 2015 to 2017 in six different regions in Morocco.At first,a screening of Pasteurella species using the real time PCR(RT-PCR)was carried out,then all isolated strains on agar blood were confirmed by PCR gel based assay specific for M.haemolytica and P.multocida.Pathogenicity was evaluated in mice and histopathological examination was done on some of lung tissue.The results revealed that 34 samples of which 28(55%)from nasal swabs and six(38%)from lungs were positive for M.haemolytica and nine samples of which seven(14%)from nasal swabs and two(13%)from lungs were positive on P.multocida serogroup A.Seventy-two percent(72%)isolates were highly pathogenic to mice,which is in accordance with the results obtained by histopathology examination.This is the first report for widespread infections of Pasteurella(M.haemolytica&P.multocida)in ruminants in Morocco.Therefore,measures including development of vaccines are highly required to mitigate the impact of the bacteria in animals.

Pasteurella multocida capsular:lipopolysaccharide types D:L6 and A:L3 remain to be the main epidemic genotypes of pigs in China

Pasteurella multocida is a leading cause of respiratory disorders in pigs.This study was designed to understand the genotypical and antimicrobial resistant characteristics of P.multocida from pigs in China.To achieve this,we briefly investigated 158 P.multocida isolates from pigs with respiratory disorders in China between 2019 and 2020.Genotyping through multiplex PCR assays assigned these 158 isolates into capsular genotypes A(60.13%,95/158),D(35.44%,56/158),F(4.43%,7/158),and/or lipopolysaccharide(LPS)genotypes L3(28.48%,45/158)and L6(66.46%,105/158).In addition,eight isolates(5.06%,8/158)were found to be nontypable using the LPS genotyping method.When combining the capsular genotypes and the LPS genotypes,D:L6(34.81%,55/158)and A:L6(31.65%,50/158)were the predominant genotypes,followed by A:L3(24.05%,38/158).PCR detection of virulence factor-encoding genes showed that over 80%of the isolates were positive for exbB,tonB,exbD,ompH,ptfA,fimA,sodA,sodC,fur,ompA,oma87,plpB,hsf-2,nanH and hgbB,suggesting the presence of these genes were broad characteristics of P.multocida.We also found approximately 63.92%(101/158),51.27%(81/158),8.86%(14/158),7.59%(12/158),3.16%(5/158),0.63%(1/158),and 0.63%(1/158)of the isolates grew well in media with the presence of colistin(4μg/mL),tetracycline(16μg/mL),tigecycline(1μg/mL),ampicillin(32μg/mL),chloramphenicol(32μg/mL),cefepime(16μg/mL),and ciprofloxacin(1μg/mL),respectively.This study contributes to the understanding of genotypes and antimicrobial resistance profile of P.multocida currently circulation in pigs of China.

Molecular analysis of Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from fowl cholera infection in backyard chickens

Objective:To characterize Pasteurella isolated from backyard chickens using whole cell protein lysate profiles and random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD)techniques to show their genetic relationship because Pasteurclla multocida(P.multocida)is an important cause of fatal infections in backyard chickens.Methods:Twenty one P.multocida isolates were recovered previously from clinical cases of fowl cholera belonging to individual owners and phenotypically analysed using biochemical tests and serotyping were used far the genetic characterization.Results:Phylogenetic study based on both methods revealed that the recovered population of P.multocida isolated from backyard chickens differs markedly,constituting a well-separated cluster and appearance of 3 distinguishing lineages with greater discrimination shown by RAPDPCR that resulted in two suclusters in cluster A and three subclusters in cluster B and were related greatly with capsular serogroups for the examined strains.The whole cell protein revealed the presence of dominant protein bands at approximately 41 and 61 kDa in all of the examined isolates that may be a virulent proteins share in the increasing of its pathogenicity.Clear distinctive bands ranged from 123 to 1534 bp.Conclusions:Based on the previous findings,there are three spreading clusters that may indicate the association of a small number of P.multocida variants with the majority of cases suggesting that certain clones of P.multocida are able to colonue the examined backyard chickens.Also,the ease and rapidity of RAPD-PCR support the use of this technique as alternative to the more labour-intensive SDS-PACE system for strain differentiation and epidemiological studies of avian P.multocida.Further application of RAPD technology to the examination of avian cholera outbreaks in commercially available flocks may facilitate more effective management of this disease by providing the potential to investigate correlations of P.multocida genotypes,to identify affiliations between bird types and bacterial genotypes,and to elucidate the role of specific bird species in disease transmission.

Adjuvant activity of Pasteurella multocida A strain,Pasteurella multocida B strain and Salmonella typhimurium bacterial DNA on cellular and humoral immunity responses against Pasteurella multocida specific strain infections in Balb/c mice

Objective: To evaluate the effects of Pasteurella multocida(P. multocida) vaccines on the expression and release of antibodies, interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-12 by serum. Methods: Balb/c mice were immunized with two formalin and iron inactivated vaccine doses within 2 weeks. The vaccines were adjuvant with P. multocida A strain, P. multocida B strain and Salmonella typhimurium bacterial DNA(AbDNA, BbDNA and SbDNA for short, respectively). The animals were challenged 4 weeks after immunization. Blood of mice was collected to detect the change of specific antibody, IL-6, and IL-12 using ELISA. Results: The specific antibody and interleukins in the immunized group increased significantly compared to the control mice after vaccination and challenge(P<0.05). The highest release of these cytokines was obtained by P.multocida inactivated with iron and adjuvant with AbDNA at a concentration of 25 μg/mL. The antibody titer peak was 0.447 in mice vaccinated with iron-killed whole-cell antigen adjunct with AbDNA. The time-courses of release showed that bacterial DNA was able to stimulate IL-6 and IL-12 production more than alum(P<0.05). Conclusions: Our findings introduce that bacterial DNA is capable of releasing an immunological response with several cytokines.These indicate that bacterial DNA entrapped with killed P. multocida antigen is a new and effective adjuvant to enhance specific immunity and resistance of animal against the infectious pathogen, which could simplify the development of highly promising strong adjuvant.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Pasteurella Multocida in Rabbits and Serotypes of the Isolates

The control and prevention of pasteurellosis in rabbits which makes the hosts unsuitable for experimental use raised the needs to improve and simplify the procedures of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detect of antibody against P.multocida. A comparison on the sensitivity and specificity of bacterial culture of antemortem and postmortem samples, complement fixation test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of 11 apparently healthy adult rabbits was conducted. The incidence rates showed 45.45%,54.54% and 72.73% respectively. The sensitivity for the three methods were 0.63, 0.67,and 1.00,and specificity for them were 1.00, 0.67 and 1.00 respectively. Somatic serotypes of isolates of P.multocida from rabbits of three groups (rabbits of group 2 were with clinic signs, those of groups 1 and 3 were apparently healthy) revealed no remarkable differences,and the predominant types were type 3 and type 3, 4. This was somewhat different from the reports derived from other states. As the antigen of different serotype used in ELISA may have different sensitivity and specificity, which is affected also by different preparation method, a type non-specific antigen should be selected to meet such request. The trial of accomplishment of ELISA without positive and negative controls was presented for discussion.

Biological Characterisation and Pathogenicity of a Pasteurella multocida Isolate from Sheep in Morocco

In this study,55 suspected pasteurellosis clinical cases from different provinces of Morocco were investigated.Molecular analysis revealed that 47%of samples were positive for Pasteurella multocida,all typed as serogroup A,and 11%positive for Mannheimia heamolytica.Eight isolates were recovered from 26 P.multocida positive samples,and characterized by biochemical and molecular typing methods.Among these isolates,two strains(S13 and S14)were selected for genes(RNA16S and rpoB)sequence analysis and virulence study in mice,guinea pigs and sheep.Phylogeny study showed similarities of both S14 and S13 isolates with strains from other species.In laboratory animals,the strain S14 was more virulent than S13 and induced severe illness in sheep.The high mortality of infected mice suggests that this model may represent an alternative for testing pathogenicity and vaccine efficacy.

Deadly case of Pasteurella multocida aortitis and mycotic aneurysm following a cat bite

Animal bites are frequently encountered in the emergency department(ED). Aortitis leading to mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare and potentially deadly complication of Pasteurella multocida(P. multocida) following an animal bite. We present the case of a 68-year-old male who presented to the ED after falling at home. He complained of weakness and abdominal pain. He was in septic shock and was treated empirically with broad-spectrum antibiotics and intravenous fluids. He reported previous antibiotic treatment of a cellulitis secondary to a cat bite injury to his right thumb four weeks prior. Abdominal ultrasound and subsequent computed tomography scan revealed a leaking mycotic abdominal aneurysm that was surgically repaired. Blood cultures and aortic wall tissue cultures grew P. multocida. Given how common animal bite presentations are in the ED, this case highlights the need to consider aortitis and mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm in an unwell patient with an animal bite.

Evaluation Preliminary of a Dry Emulsion System as a <i>Pasteurella multocida</i>Oral Carrier for Pigs

Background: This work evaluated the capacity of a dry emulsion as a carrier of viable microorganisms with potential use as prophylaxis of infectious diseases. Methods: The aqueous phase containing P. multocida not viable in PBS was emulsified in mineral oil to obtain a w/o emulsion. The microorganisms remained stable and only in two cases (n = 6) did the bacterial concentration decrease. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed a structure of a system with the organized association of particles with cubic symmetry. Using two ex vivo bioadhesion systems, it was demonstrated that the disperse-adsorbed system is capable of adhering to the intestinal mucosa and remains adhered for long periods of time. Results: The no viability of the bacteria in the dry emulsion and the possibility of controlled release were confirmed. In vivo trial was conducted in pigs. It was possible to locate the emulsion and the bacteria attached to the gut of the living animal. An ELISA kit was used to monitor the mean antibody titer of treated pigs over a 2-week period, and a classic primary response curve occurred when the titer was plotted against time. Conclusion: We propose the disperse-adsorbed system as an alternative to commonly used vehicles for immunogens in the oral vaccines.

为研究不同浓度黄芩苷对多杀性巴氏杆菌(Pm)HN-13株感染的猪巨噬细胞(HD11)内炎症因子表达的影响及与炎症信号通路的相互作用关系,本研究采用western blot检测HN-13株感染(0、30 min、60 min、90 min)HD11细胞中促分裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)信号通路3个关键蛋白(p-ERK/ERK、p-p38/p38、p-JNK/JNK)的表达水平;采用ELISA和荧光定量RT-PCR(RT-qPCR)分析检测低浓度剂量黄芩苷(L组,20μmol/L)、中浓度剂量黄芩苷(M组,40μmol/L)和高浓度剂量黄芩苷(H组,60μmol/L)对Pm感染的猪巨噬细胞内肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和IL-1β分泌水平及其m RNA转录水平的影响,同时设置对照组(Control)和模型组(HN-13);利用抑制剂SCH772984阻断ERK通路,采用ELISA和RT-qPCR检测黄岑苷对Pm感染的HD11细胞内炎症因子TNF-α、IL-6和IL-1β表达及m RNA转录水平的影响,同时设置对照组(Control)、模型组(HN-13)、抑制组(HN-13+抑制剂)。结果显示:与HN-13株处理0 min组相比,随着感染时间的延长,HN-13株感染HD11细胞中p-ERK/ERK的蛋白表达量逐渐升高(P<0.01),而p-p38/p38和p-JNK/JNK蛋白表达量均未发生显著变化(P>0.05),表明,HN-13株可使HD11细胞炎症相关ERK通路蛋白表达增强,且与作用时间呈正相关。与模型组(HN-13)相比,3个浓度剂量的黄芩苷均显著抑制TNF-α、IL-6和IL-1β的分泌水平及m RNA转录水平(P<0.05),且抑制作用随着黄芩苷浓度升高而增强。与抑制组相比,黄芩苷与抑制剂共处理组可以显著抑制HN-13感染的HD11细胞中TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-6的分泌及m RNA转录水平(P<0.05)。综上所述,黄芩苷可以抑制Pm感染的HD11细胞中ERK通路相关蛋白的表达和分泌,进而发挥抗炎作用。本研究为研制防治Pm引起的猪肺疫的新药提供了思路。

Rationally designed mariner vectors for functional genomic analysis of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other Pasteurellaceae species by transposon-directed insertion-site sequencing (TraDIS)

Comprehensive identification of conditionally essential genes requires efficient tools for generating high-density transposon libraries that, ideally, can be analysed using next-generation sequencing methods such as Transposon Directed Insertion-site Sequencing (TraDIS). The Himar1 (mariner) transposon is ideal for generating near-saturating mutant libraries, especially in AT-rich chromosomes, as the requirement for integration is a TA dinucleotide, and this transposon has been used for mutagenesis of a wide variety of bacteria. However, plasmids for mariner delivery do not necessarily work well in all bacteria. In particular, there are limited tools for functional genomic analysis of Pasteurellaceae species of major veterinary importance, such as swine and cattle pathogens, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida, respectively. Here, we developed plasmids, pTsodCPC9 and pTlacPC9 (differing only in the promoter driving expression of the transposase gene), that allow delivery of mariner into both these pathogens, but which should also be applicable to a wider range of bacteria. Using the pTlacPC9 vector, we have generated, for the first time, saturating mariner mutant libraries in both A. pleuropneumoniae and P. multocida that showed a near random distribution of insertions around the respective chromosomes as detected by TraDIS. A preliminary screen of 5000 mutants each identified 8 and 14 genes, respectively, that are required for growth under anaerobic conditions. Future high-throughput screening of the generated libraries will facilitate identification of mutants required for growth under different conditions, including in vivo, highlighting key virulence factors and pathways that can be exploited for development of novel therapeutics and vaccines.
