Vet Microbiol 2024; 295:110162. [PMID: 38941767 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2024.110162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
Postweaning diarrhea (PWD) is a multifactorial disease caused by different aetiological agents, like viruses or bacteria and where the role of the microbiota remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess differences between healthy and diarrheic weaned pigs concerning the prevalence of pathogens and changes in the intestinal microbiota. Eighteen farms with PWD were selected and 277 fecal samples were collected (152 diarrheic vs 125 healthy). Presence of Rotavirus A (RVA), B (RVB), C (RVC) and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), virulence factors of Escherichia coli and Clostridioides difficile were analyzed by PCR. Finally, the microbiota composition was also study by 16 S rRNA sequencing on 148 samples (102 diarrheic vs 46 healthy). RVA (53.95 % vs 36 %, p=0.04) and RVB (49.67 % vs 28.8 %, p<0.001) were more frequent in diarrheic animals. Furthermore, RVA viral load was higher in diseased animals. VT2 toxin was significantly associated with diarrhea, whereas other virulence factors were not. Presence of C. difficile and PEDV was almost negligible. Regarding microbiota changes, Fusobacteriota phylum was more frequent in diarrheic samples and Ruminococcaceae family in healthy penmates. During the first week postweaning, Enterobacteriace and Campylobacteria were enriched in animals presenting diarrhea. Furthermore, Lactobacillus was detected in those individuals with no RVA infection. In conclusion, RVA seems to play a primary role in PWD. Classic E. coli virulence factors were not associated with diarrhea, indicating the need for revising their implication in disease. Moreover, Lactobacillus was found frequently in animals negative for RVA, suggesting some protective effect.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) has been reported to be a highly invasive pathogen in swine and a zoonotic agent for humans. Although many bacterial virulence factors have been identified, our an insightful understanding of SS2 pathogenicity is lacking. The gene nadR, encoding nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase, was first reported as a regulator and transporter of the intracellular NAD synthesis pathway in Salmonella typhimurium. In this study, we constructed a mutant strain of nadR (ΔnadR) to test the phenotypic and virulence variations between the deletion mutant and the wild-type strain ZY05719. The phenotypic experimental results showed that ΔnadR obviously inhibited cell growth and exhibited shorter chains than WT. The growth defect of ΔnadR was caused by the loss of the function of nadR for transporting the substrates nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside in the intracellular NAD synthesis pathway. In the process of interaction with the host, ΔnadR participated in adherence and invasion to the host cells, and it was more easily cleared by RAW264.7 macrophages. More importantly, both zebrafish and BALB/c mice in vivo virulence experimental results showed that ΔnadR dramatically attenuated the virulence of SS2, and the ability of ΔnadR to colonize tissues was notably reduced in comparison with that of WT in the BALB/c mice infection model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to demonstrate that nadR not only plays an important role in bacterial growth, but also in connection with the virulence of SS2 as a global transcriptional regulator.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE To the best of our knowledge, this study reveals a strong correlation between mass spectra pattern and virulence phenotype among S. suis for the first time. In order to make the findings applicable and to excavate the intrinsic information in the spectra, the classifiers based on the machine learning algorithms were established, and RF (Random Forest)-based models have achieved an accuracy of over 90%. Overall, this study will pave the way for virulent SS2 (Streptococcus suis serotype 2) rapid detection, and the important findings on the association between genotype and mass spectrum may provide a new idea for the genotype-dependent detection of specific pathogens.

Anaerobe 2023; 81:102736. [PMID: 37196842 DOI: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clostridium perfringens is one of most important bacterial pathogens in the poultry industry and mainly causes necrotizing enteritis (NE). This pathogen and its toxins can cause foodborne diseases in humans through the food chain. In China, with the rise of antibiotic resistance and the banning of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry farming, food contamination and NE are becoming more prevalent. Bacteriophages are a viable technique to control C. perfringens as an alternative to antibiotics. We isolated Clostridium phage from the environment, providing a new method for the prevention of NE and C. perfringens contamination in meat. METHODS In this study, we selected C. perfringens strains from various regions and animal sources in China for phage isolation. The biological characteristics of Clostridium phage were studied in terms of host range, MOI, one-step curve, temperature and pH stability. We sequenced and annotated the genome of the Clostridium phage and performed phylogenetic and pangenomic analyses. Finally, we studied its antibacterial activity against bacterial culture and its disinfection effect against C. perfringens in meat. RESULTS A Clostridium phage, named ZWPH-P21 (P21), was isolated from chicken farm sewage in Jiangsu, China. P21 has been shown to specifically lyse C. perfringens type G. Further analysis of basic biological characteristics showed that P21 was stable under the conditions of pH 4-11 and temperature 4-60 °C, and the optimal multiple severity of infection (MOI) was 0.1. In addition, P21 could form a "halo" on agar plates, suggesting that the phage may encode depolymerase. Genome sequence analysis showed that P21 was the most closely related to Clostridium phage CPAS-15 belonging to the Myoviridae family, with a recognition rate of 97.24% and a query coverage rate of 98%. No virulence factors or drug resistance genes were found in P21. P21 showed promising antibacterial activity in vitro and in chicken disinfection experiments. In conclusion, P21 has the potential to be used for preventing and controlling C. perfringens in chicken food production.

Abstract
Streptococcus parasuis (S. parasuis) is a close relative of Streptococcus suis (S. suis), composed of former members of S. suis serotypes 20, 22 and 26. S. parasuis could infect pigs and cows, and recently, human infection cases have been reported, making S. parasuis a potential opportunistic zoonotic pathogen. In this study, we analysed the genomic characteristics of S. parasuis, using pan-genome analysis, and compare some phenotypic determinants such as capsular polysaccharide, integrative conjugative elements, CRISPR-Cas system and pili, and predicted the potential virulence genes by associated analysis of the clinical condition of isolated source animals and genotypes. Furthermore, to discuss the relationship with S. suis, we compared these characteristics of S. parasuis with those of S. suis. We found that the characteristics of S. parasuis are similar to those of S. suis, both of them have "open" pan-genome, their antimicrobial resistance gene profiles are similar and a srtF pilus cluster of S. suis was identified in S. parasuis genome. But S. parasuis still have its unique characteristics, two novel pilus clusters are and three different type CRISPR-Cas system were found. Therefore, this study provides novel insights into the interspecific and intraspecific genetic characteristics of S. parasuis, which can be useful for further study of this opportunistic pathogen, such as serotyping, diagnostics, vaccine development, and study of the pathogenesis mechanism.

Virus Res 2021; 308:198628. [PMID: 34780885 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2021.198628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The increase of multi-drug resistant and multi-serotypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli has brought more severe challenge to control infection. Nowadays, bacteriophage is a promising tool to treat colibacillosis as an alternative of antibiotics. A coliphage P479, isolated from sewage of poultry farm, could lyse multiple serotypes, including not only O1, O2, O8, O9, O21, O78, O83, O145 of Avian pathogenic E. coli, but O157:H7 of Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and O18:K1:H7 Neonatal meningitis E. coli. Additionally, P479 could also lyse multi-drug resistant E. coli. These indicated that P479 had good lytic ability. One-step growth curve revealed that the latent time period of P479 was 10 min and the burst size was about 318 PFU/cell. Stability tests demonstrated that P479 had good stability under various temperature (4 to 50 °C) and pH (3 to11) conditions. P479 contained of a linear, double-stranded DNA molecule of 172,033 bp with 40.3% GC content. P479 contained 296 putative coding sequences (CDSs) and two tRNA genes. Based on genomic comparison, P479 was classified as a member of genus Gaprivervirus, subfamily Tevenvirinae, family Myoviridae, order Caudovirales. No known virulent or lysogenic genes were detected in the genome of P479, manifesting P479 was safe to adhibit. Antibacterial activity in vitro manifested that P479 has varying degrees bacteriostatic activity against different bacteria. According to the above properties, P479 has the potential to be applied in phage therapy in the future.
