Abstract
Pasteurella multocida type A (PmA) mainly causes respiratory diseases such as pneumonia in bovines, leading to great economic losses to the breeding industry. At present, there is still no effective commercial vaccine against PmA infection. In this study, a mutant strain (PmCQ2Δ4555-4580) with brand-new phenotypes was obtained after serially passaging at 42 °C. Whole genome resequencing and PCR analysis showed that PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 missed six genes, including PmCQ2_004555, PmCQ2_004560, PmCQ2_004565, PmCQ2_004570, PmCQ2_004575, and PmCQ2_004580. Importantly, the virulence of PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 was reduced by approximately 2.8 × 109 times in mice. Notably, live PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 could provide 100%, 100% and 40% protection against PmA, PmB and PmF, respectively; and inactivated PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 could provide 100% and 87.5% protection against PmA and PmB. Interestingly, immune protection-related proteins were significantly upregulated in PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 based on RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis. Meaningfully, by in vitro expression, purification and in vivo immunization, 12 proteins had different degrees of immune protective effects. Among them, PmCQ2_008205, PmCQ2_010435, PmCQ2_008190, and PmCQ2_004170 had the best protective effect, the protection rates against PmA were 50%, 40%, 30%, and 30%, respectively, and the protective rates against PmB were 62.5%, 42.9%, 37.5%, and 28.6%, respectively. Collectively, PmCQ2Δ4555-4580 is a potential vaccine candidate for the prevention of Pasteurellosis involving in high expression of immune protective related proteins.

Abstract
Porcine infectious pleuropneumonia (PCP) is a severe disease of porcine caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP). The spread of PCP remains a threat to the porcine farms and has been known to cause severe economic losses. The cAMP receptor protein (CRP) serves as a pivotal player in helping bacteria adapt to shifts in their environment, particularly when facing the challenges posed by bacterial infections. In this study, we investigated the role of CRP in APP. Our results revealed that crp mutant (Δcrp) strains were more sensitive to acidic and osmotic stress resistance and had lower biofilm formation ability than wild-type (WT) strains. Furthermore, the Δcrp strains showed deficiencies in anti-phagocytosis, adhesion, and invasion upon interaction with host cells. Mice infected with the Δcrp strains demonstrated reduced bacterial loads in their lungs compared to those infected with the WT strains. This study reveals the pivotal role of crp gene expression in regulating pleuropneumonia growth, stress resistance, iron utilization, biofilm formation, phagocytosis, adhesion, invasion and colonization. Our discoveries offer novel perspectives on understanding the development and progression of APP infections.

Construction and characterization of Aeromonas hydrophila crp and fur deletion mutants and evaluation of its potential as live-attenuated vaccines in crucian carp. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 146:109380. [PMID: 38244821 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is a typical zoonotic pathogenic bacterium that infects humans, animals, and fish. It has been reported that the Fur, a Fe2+ regulatory protein, and the Crp, a cAMP receptor protein, play important roles in bacterial virulence in many bacteria, but no research has been investigated on A. hydrophila. In this study, the Δfur and Δcrp mutant strains were constructed by the suicide plasmid method. These two mutant strains exhibited a slightly diminished bacterial growth and also were observed some alterations in the number of outer membrane proteins, and the disappearance of hemolysis in the Δcrp strain. Animal experiments of crucian carp showed that the Δfur and Δcrp mutant strains significantly decreased virulence compared to the wild-type strain, and both mutant strains were able to induce good immune responses by two kinds of administration routes of intraperitoneal immunization (i.p) and immersion immunization, and the protection rates through intraperitoneal injection of Δfur and Δcrp to crucian carp were as high as 83.3 % and 73.3 %, respectively, and immersion immunization route of Δfur and Δcrp to crucian carp provided protection as high as 40 % and 20 %, respectively. These two mutant strains showed abilities to induce changes in enzymatic activities of the non-specific enzymes SOD, LZM, AKP, and ACP in crucian carp. Together, these results indicated the Δfur and Δcrp mutants were safe and effective candidate vaccine strains, showing good protection against the wild-type A. hydrophila challenge.

The cAMP Receptor Protein (CRP) of Vibrio mimicus Regulates Its Bacterial Growth, Type II Secretion System, Flagellum Formation, Adhesion Genes, and Virulence. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:437. [PMID: 38338079 PMCID: PMC10854923 DOI: 10.3390/ani14030437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Vibrio mimicus is a serious pathogen in aquatic animals, resulting in significant economic losses. The cAMP receptor protein (CRP) often acts as a central regulator in highly pathogenic pathogens. V. mimicus SCCF01 is a highly pathogenic strain isolated from yellow catfish; the crp gene deletion strain (Δcrp) was constructed by natural transformation to determine whether this deletion affects the virulence phenotypes. Their potential molecular connections were revealed by qRT-PCR analysis. Our results showed that the absence of the crp gene resulted in bacterial and colony morphological changes alongside decreases in bacterial growth, hemolytic activity, biofilm formation, enzymatic activity, motility, and cell adhesion. A cell cytotoxicity assay and animal experiments confirmed that crp contributes to V. mimicus pathogenicity, as the LD50 of the Δcrp strain was 73.1-fold lower compared to the WT strain. Moreover, qRT-PCR analysis revealed the inhibition of type II secretion system genes, flagellum genes, adhesion genes, and metalloproteinase genes in the deletion strain. This resulted in the virulence phenotype differences described above. Together, these data demonstrate that the crp gene plays a core regulatory role in V. mimicus virulence and pathogenicity.

Abstract
Background and Aim Pasteurella multocida can infect a multitude of wild and domesticated animals, bacterial vaccines have become a crucial tool in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal production. The study aimed to evaluate the current status and scientific trends related to veterinary vaccines against Pasteurella multocida during the 2015-2022 period. Material and Methods The characteristics of globally marketed vaccines were investigated based on the official websites of 22 pharmaceutical companies. VOSviewer® 1.6.18 was used to visualize networks of coauthorship and cooccurrence of keywords from papers published in English and available in Scopus. Results Current commercial vaccines are mostly inactivated (81.7%), adjuvanted in aluminum hydroxide (57.8%), and designed to immunize cattle (33.0%). Investigational vaccines prioritize the inclusion of attenuated strains, peptide fragments, recombinant proteins, DNA as antigens, aluminum compounds as adjuvants and poultry as the target species. Conclusion Despite advances in genetic engineering and biotechnology, there will be no changes in the commercial dominance of inactivated and aluminum hydroxide-adjuvanted vaccines in the short term (3-5 years). The future prospects for bacterial vaccines in animal production are promising, with advancements in vaccine formulation and genetic engineering, they have the potential to improve the sustainability of the industry. It is necessary to continue with the studies to improve the efficacy of the vaccines and their availability.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida infection frequently causes fowl cholera outbreaks, leading to huge economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. This study developed a novel live attenuated P. multocida vaccine strain for ducks named PMZ2 with deletion of the gatA gene and first four bases of the hptE gene, both of which are required for the synthesis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) outer core. PMZ2 produced a truncated LPS phenotype and was highly attenuated in ducks with a > 105-fold higher LD50 than the wild-type strain. PMZ2 colonized the blood and organs, including the spleen, liver and lung, at remarkably reduced levels, and its high dose of oral infection did not cause adverse effects on body temperatures and body weights in ducks. To evaluate the vaccine efficacy of the mutant, ducklings were inoculated orally or intranasally with PMZ2 or PBS twice and subsequently subjected to a lethal challenge. Compared with the PBS control, PMZ2 immunization stimulated significantly elevated serum IgG, bile IgA and tracheal IgA responses, especially after the boost immunization in both the oral and intranasal groups, and the induced serum had significant bactericidal effects against the wild-type strain. Furthermore, the two PMZ2 immunization groups exhibited alleviated tissue lesions and significantly decreased bacterial loads in the blood and organs compared with the PBS group post-challenge. All the ducks in the PMZ2 oral and intranasal groups survived the challenge, while 70% of ducks in the PBS group succumbed to the challenge. Thus, the P. multocida mutant with mutation of the gatA gene and part of the hptE gene proved to be an effective live attenuated vaccine candidate for prevention of fowl cholera in ducks.

Abstract
Glaesserella parasuis can cause serious systemic disease (Glasser's disease) that is characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, polyarthritis and meningitis. cAMP receptor protein (CRP) is among the well studied global regulator proteins which could modulate the virulence of many pathogenic bacteria. Our previous study showed that the crp gene was involved in the regulation of growth rate, biofilm formation, stress tolerance, serum resistance, and iron utilization in G. parasuis. However, whether the crp gene could regulate the virulence of G. parasuis has not been analyzed previously. In this study, it was observed that the crp gene in G. parasuis serovar 5 (HPS5) was involved in regulating the adhesion and invasion abilities on iPAM cells, and the mRNA expression of various virulence-related factors. It also possessed the ability to induce the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α), promoted the activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in porcine kidney epithelial (PK-15) and immortalized swine pulmonary alveolar macrophage (iPAM) cells, and contributed to the pathogenicity and organs colonization in mice. As compared with the wild type, both the expression of virulence-related factors in the crp mutant strain and its ability to induce the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as the expression of phospho-p65 and phospho-p38 in PK-15 and iPAM cells was reduced significantly. Furthermore, it also found that the virulence of crp mutant was significantly reduced as compared with the wild type. However, the abilities of adherence and invasion on iPAM cell of Δcrp strain was noted to be significantly enhanced as compared with the wild type. These results suggested that the crp gene deletion could effectively attenuate the virulence of G. parasuis, and crp gene may act as an important potential target for the formulation of a novel vaccine against G. parasuis.

The lipopolysaccharide outer core transferase genes pcgD and hptE contribute differently to the virulence of Pasteurella multocida in ducks. Vet Res 2021; 52:37. [PMID: 33663572 PMCID: PMC7931556 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-021-00910-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Fowl cholera caused by Pasteurella multocida exerts a massive economic burden on the poultry industry. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is essential for the growth of P. multocida genotype L1 strains in chickens and specific truncations to the full length LPS structure can attenuate bacterial virulence. Here we further dissected the roles of the outer core transferase genes pcgD and hptE in bacterial resistance to duck serum, outer membrane permeability and virulence in ducks. Two P. multocida mutants, ΔpcgD and ΔhptE, were constructed, and silver staining confirmed that they all produced truncated LPS profiles. Inactivation of pcgD or hptE did not affect bacterial susceptibility to duck serum and outer membrane permeability but resulted in attenuated virulence in ducks to some extent. After high-dose inoculation, ΔpcgD showed remarkably reduced colonization levels in the blood and spleen but not in the lung and liver and caused decreased injuries in the spleen and liver compared with the wild-type strain. In contrast, the ΔhptE loads declined only in the blood, and ΔhptE infection caused decreased splenic lesions but also induced severe hepatic lesions. Furthermore, compared with the wild-type strain, ΔpcgD was significantly attenuated upon oral or intramuscular challenge, whereas ΔhptE exhibited reduced virulence only upon oral infection. Therefore, the pcgD deletion caused greater virulence attenuation in ducks, indicating the critical role of pcgD in P. multocida infection establishment and survival.

Salmonella Pullorum spiC mutant is a desirable LASV candidate with proper virulence, high immune protection and easy-to-use oral administration. Vaccine 2021; 39:1383-1391. [PMID: 33551301 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.01.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Live attenuated Salmonellavaccine (LASV) is considered to be an effective contributory measure during the control of Salmonella infection. A Salmonella Pullorum spiC mutant was evaluated comprehensively as a LASV candidate (LASV-p) for broilers in terms of safety and immunogenicity. LASV-p was adminstered to 3-day broilers by intramuscular injection. The LD50 increased 126 fold, and no tissue lesions were observed in the liver, spleen and cecum, in comparison with the control group inoculated with PBS and a passive group by wild-type Salmonella. Growth rates of all broilers were normal and not affected. LASV-p persisted in vivo until 21 days in liver, 28 days in spleen and 35 days in feces, and induced high levels of humoral IgG and mucosal IgA. Cellular immunity was also stimulated in the form of antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation and higher counts of CD3+CD8+ T cells and increased expression of mRNA of Th1 cytokines, IFN-γ and IL-2, in the early stage, and Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10, in the later stages. LASV-p provided at least 90% immuneprotection against a wild-type Salmonella Pullorum and cross-protection in different degree against other Salmonella searovars. Oral vaccine could also offer high immune protection of 87.5%. These results indicated that LASV-p vaccine candidate had a high level of safety and immune protection and it might be developed as a novel easy-to-use oral vaccine to improve poultry health in the future.

Abstract
Haemophilus parasuis (HPS), a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common bacteria in the upper respiratory tract of pigs but under certain circumstances can cause serious systemic disease (Glasser's disease) characterized by severe infection of the upper respiratory tract, fibrinous polyserositis, polyarthritis, and meningitis. cAMP receptor protein (CRP) is among the most important global regulators, playing a vital role in adapting to environmental changes during the process of bacterial infection. In order to investigate the function of the crp gene in the growth characteristics of H. parasuis serovar 5 (HPS5) and its ability to overcome adverse environmental stresses, a crp mutant strain (Δcrp) was constructed and verified. In this study, we found that the crp gene was involved in growth rate, biofilm formation, stress tolerance, serum resistance, and iron utilization. Compared with the wild type, both the growth rate of the crp mutant and its resistance to osmotic pressure decreased significantly. Similar phenomena were also found in biofilm formation and iron utilization. However, the resistance to heat shock and serum complement of the crp mutant were enhanced. This study aimed to reveal the function in growth characteristics and stress resistance of the crp gene in HPS5. Whether it relates to virulence requires additional in-depth research.

Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic foodborne pathogen, is able to withstand low temperatures. This psychrotrophic ability allows it to multiply in food stored in refrigerators. However, little is known about the Y. enterocolitica cold response. In this study, isolate-specific behavior at 4°C was demonstrated and the cold response was investigated by examining changes in phenotype, gene expression, and the proteome. Altered expression of cold-responsive genes showed that the ability to survive at low temperature depends on the capacity to acclimate and adapt to cold stress. This cold acclimation at the transcriptional level involves the transient induction and effective repression of cold-shock protein (Csp) genes. Moreover, the resumption of expression of genes encoding other non-Csp is essential during prolonged adaptation. Based on proteomic analyses, the predominant functional categories of cold-responsive proteins are associated with protein synthesis, cell membrane structure, and cell motility. In addition, changes in membrane fluidity and motility were shown to be important in the cold response of Y. enterocolitica. Isolate-specific differences in the transcription of membrane fluidity- and motility-related genes provided evidence to classify strains within a spectrum of cold response. The combination of different approaches has permitted the systematic description of the Y. enterocolitica cold response and gives a better understanding of the physiological processes underlying this phenomenon.

Abstract
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) caused by Pasteurella multocida serogroup B:2, in cattle and buffalo especially in tropical regions of Asian and African countries, is known to possess several outer membrane proteins (OMPs) as virulent factors which are being targeted to evaluate their immunogenicity and protective efficacy as candidate antigens for vaccine. In the present study, ompW gene encoding for OmpW protein of P. multocida serogroup B:2 strain P52, an Indian HS vaccine strain, has been cloned and over-expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli. The recombinant OmpW fusion protein (~37 kDa) including histidine tag was purified by affinity chromatography under denaturing condition and confirmed by Western blotting. Further, mice immunized with rOmpW (50μg/ dose) along with FCA/FIA resulted in antigen specific IgG antibodies as well as subtypes (IgG1 and IgG2a). The study indicated the potential possibilities to use the rOmpW antigen in developing subunit vaccine for HS as well as other diseases caused by members of Pasteurellaceae.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida is a pathogenic microorganism that causes a variety of serious diseases in humans and animals worldwide. The global regulator gene, fur, plays an important role in pathogenesis and regulates the virulence of many bacteria. Here, we identified a fur gene in P. multocida by complementing a Salmonella Choleraesuis Δfur mutant, and characterized a fur mutant strain of P. multocida. The P. multocida Δfur mutant strain exhibited no significant differences in growth and outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles when the complemented strain was compared to the parent. Ducks were used as the model organism to determine the virulence and protection efficacy induced by Δfur mutant strain. Animal experiments showed that colonization by the mutant was decreased by oral infection of live Δfur mutant strain. The LD50 of the ducks infected with the Δfur mutant was 146-fold higher than that of the ducks infected with the wild-type strain when administered through the oral route. Evaluation of the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the Δfur mutant of P. multocida revealed strong serum IgY and bile IgA immune responses following oral inoculation with the Δfur strain. Ducks that were orally inoculated with the Δfur mutant strain demonstrated 62% protection efficacy against severe lethal challenge with the wild-type P. multocida. This study provides new insights into P. multocida virulence and the potential use of an attenuated vaccine against P. multocida.

Abstract
We studied the role of glycolysis in the mechanism of cAMP receptor protein-induced macrophage cell death of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). Cell apoptosis, caspase-3, -8, -9 enzyme activity, and pyruvic acid, lactic acid, ATP, and hexokinase (HK) contents were determined after infection of macrophages with S. Typhimurium SL1344 wild-type and a cAMP receptor protein mutant strain. While cell apoptosis, caspase-3, -8, -9 enzyme activity, lactic acid, hexokinase, and ATP levels significantly changed by infection with crp mutants compared to the wild-type strain (P < 0.05). Our data suggest that the cAMP receptor protein of S. Typhimurium can modulate macrophage death by effecting glycolysis levels. This finding may help to elucidate the mechanisms of S. Typhimurium pathogenesis.

Abstract
Phage PHB02 specifically infects Pasteurella multocida capsular serogroup A strains. In this study, we found that capsule deletion mutants were not lysed by PHB02, suggesting that the capsule of P. multocida serogroup A strains might be the primary receptor. Based on sequence analysis, a gene encoding a phage-associated putative depolymerase was identified. The corresponding recombinant depolymerase demonstrated specific activity against capsular serogroup A strains but did not strip capsule deletion mutants. In vivo experiments showed that PHB02 was retained at detectable levels in the liver, spleen, kidneys, lung, and blood, at 24 h post-administration in mice. Depolymerase plus serum significantly reduced the number of viable wild-type P. multocida strain HB03 cells (3.5–4.5 log decrease in colony-forming units). Moreover, treatment with phage or purified depolymerase resulted in significantly increased survival of mice infected with P. multocida HB03, and an absence of increase of eosinophils and basophils or other pathological changes when compared with the control group. These results show that phage PHB02 and its putative depolymerase represent a novel strategy for controlling P. multocida serogroup A strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pasteurella multocida continues to pose a danger to prone farm and wild animals all over the world. Chemotherapeutic treatments are progressively losing their effectiveness, last for long time, and cost a lot of money, as well as being toxic to human consumers. Therefore, clearing the way for immunization as a big-wheel alternative against the economic grain. Yet, the vaccines available in the market do not confer the necessary protection against the pathogen. The integration of the well adjuvanted killed vaccine with the attenuated vaccines proved to offer an effective protection to the host animals. However, the bare use of the killed bacterin to provide protection from the possible harm of the live attenuated vaccine was doubtful. METHODS In the present study, propolis extracts were used to ameliorate the immunogenicity of the Pasteurella bacterin. The cellular and humoral activities were assessed for the different bacterin formulations. RESULTS Propolis extracts adjuvants proved to broaden and extend the IgG potency, as well as to induce a unique mucosal protection against the bacterium. Simultaneously it offered an anti-inflammatory effect that increased the tolerability to the bacterin. While the cellular activity was relatively reduced with propolis extracts. CONCLUSION These results confirm the effectiveness of the formulation of the bacterin with propolis to offer a potent homologous primary protection to the animals against the long-life use of the attenuated Pasteurella vaccines.

CANADIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY RESEARCH = REVUE CANADIENNE DE RECHERCHE VETERINAIRE 2018; 82:102-105.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has a wide host range and is capable of causing infections ranging from severe gastroenteritis to systemic infection in humans. To determine if attenuated S. Typhimurium strains can serve as safe and effective oral vaccines to prevent typhoid fever, the biologic characteristics of crp and sipB deletion mutants were evaluated. Previous studies had found that the crp and sipB genes are related to Salmonella pathogenicity. In this study, cytotoxicity, protective efficacy, and immune responses of the host were analyzed. Our previous data had shown a significance decrease in virulence for the crp and sipB mutants compared with a wild-type strain. The current study confirmed this finding in HeLa cells and showed that the crp mutant was significantly less cytotoxic (P < 0.05) than the sipB mutant. Mice vaccinated with the crp mutant showed significantly better protection after challenge with the wild-type strain (P < 0.05) and significantly greater responses in serum IgG (P < 0.01) and secretory IgA (P < 0.05) compared with the mice vaccinated with the sipB mutant (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that the crp mutant has the potential to be a vaccine candidate and is safe in mice.
