  • Charakterisierung Haemophiler Bakterienisolate Der Gattungen Histophilus Und Haemophilus Aus Wiederkäuern
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2016 Charakterisierung haemophiler Bakterienisolate der Gattungen Histophilus und Haemophilus aus Wiederkäuern Sutter, Gabriella Abstract: Haemophile Bakterien der Gattungen Haemophilus und Histophilus sind bei Nutztieren weit verbreitet. Beim Wiederkäuer gilt Histophilus somni (syn. Haemophilus somnus) unter anderem als Verursacher der ISTME/TEME. Gleichzeitig werden diese Bakterien oft als asymptomatische Besiedler von Schleimhäuten des Genital- und Respirationstrakts gefunden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden 194 Histophilus/Haemophilus-Isolate aus der Stammsammlung der Vetsuisse-Fakultät Zürich (1974 bis 1998) untersucht. Als Methoden wurden Kultur, 16S rDNA Amplifizierung und Sequenzierung sowie Ribotypisierung verwendet. Kulturell typisiert werden konnten 13 Isolate, die alle nicht hämolysierend, Oxidase-positiv, Katalase-negativ und V- und X-Faktor unabhängig waren. Aufgrund ihrer Koloniemor- phologie wurden die Isolate der M-, S- und R-Form zugeordnet. Die Analyse der 16S rDNA aus 28 haemophilen Isolaten mit Datenbankeinträgen ergab für alle Isolate eine höchste Übereinstimmung mit 16S rDNA-Sequenzen von Histophilus somni-Isolaten. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Übereinstim- mungsraten wurde eine Unterteilung in drei 16S rDNA-Gruppen vorgenommen. Interessanterweise wiesen 13 der 28 untersuchten Isolate (46,4%) eine Übereinstimmung von <95% mit bekannten Histophilus somni-Isolaten auf. Ob somit eine neue Spezies-Bestimmung zu erfolgen hat, wird Thema künftiger Untersuchungen sein. Alle untersuchten Isolate wiesen eine grosse genetische Vielfalt auf, wie sie auch in der Literatur beschrieben ist. Haemophilic bacteria of the genera Haemophilus and Histophilus are found worldwide in a wide range of animals. In ruminants, Histophilus somni (syn. Haemophilus som- nus) is for example known as causative agent of ISTME/TEME.

  • High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence and Description of Haemophilus Massiliensis Sp
    Lo et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2016) 11:31 DOI 10.1186/s40793-016-0150-1 EXTENDED GENOME REPORT Open Access High-quality draft genome sequence and description of Haemophilus massiliensis sp. nov. Cheikh Ibrahima Lo1,2, Senthil Alias Sankar1, Bécaye Fall3, Bissoume Sambe-Ba3, Silman Diawara3, Mamadou Wague Gueye3, Oleg Mediannikov1,2, Caroline Blanc-Tailleur1, Boubacar Wade3, Didier Raoult1,2,4, Pierre-Edouard Fournier1 and Florence Fenollar1,2* Abstract Strain FF7T was isolated from the peritoneal fluid of a 44-year-old woman who suffered from pelvic peritonitis. This strain exhibited a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 94.8 % 16S rRNA sequence identity with Haemophilus parasuis,the phylogenetically closest species with a name with standing in nomenclature and a poor MALDI-TOF MS score (1.32 to 1.56) that does not allow any reliable identification. Using a polyphasic study made of phenotypic and genomic analyses, strain FF7T was a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod and member of the family Pasteurellaceae. It exhibited a genome of 2,442,548 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 2,319 protein-coding and 67 RNA genes, including 6 rRNA operons. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of Haemophilus massiliensis sp.nov.withstrainFF7T (= CSUR P859 = DSM 28247) as the type strain. Keywords: Haemophilus massiliensis, Genome, Taxono-genomics, Culturomics Introduction systematically compared to the phylogenetically-closest The genus Haemophilus (Winslow et al. 1917) was de- species with a name with standing in nomenclature [8, 9]. scribed in 1917 [1] and currently meningitis, bacteremia, The strain FF7T was isolated from the peritoneal fluid sinusitis, and/or pneumonia [2].

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The genera Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, and Pasteurella exhibit extensive polyphyletic branching in phylogenetic trees and do not represent coherent clusters of species. In this study, we have utilized molecular signatures identified through comparative genomic analyses in conjunction with genome based and multilocus sequence based phylogenetic analyses to clarify the phylogenetic and taxonomic boundary of these genera. We have identified large clusters of Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, and Pasteurella species which represent the “sensu stricto” members of these genera. We have identified 3, 7, and 6 conserved signature indels (CSIs), which are specifically shared by sensu stricto members of Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, and Pasteurella, respectively. We have also identified two different sets of CSIs that are unique characteristics of the pathogen containing genera Aggregatibacter and Mannheimia, respectively. It is now possible to demarcate the genera Actinobacillus sensu stricto, Haemophilus sensu stricto, and Pasteurella sensu stricto on the basis of discrete molecular signatures.

  • Discrimination of Members of the Family Pasteurezlaceae Based On

These strains included the type strains of species belonging to the genera Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, and Pasteurellu and additional strains of selected species, as well as numerous unnamed strains. Members of the genus Actinobacillus sensu stricto were characterized by the presence of 1,3-diaminopropane as the predominant compound. In the majority of the species of the genus Haemophilus sensu stricto 1,3- diaminopropane was also the major compound in the polyamine pattern. In contrast, Haemophilus intermedius subsp. gazogenes and Haemophilus parainjluenzae were characterized by high levels of 1,3-diaminopropane, cadaverine, and putrescine. These results confirmed the findings of Dewhirst et al. (F. E. Dewhirst, B. J. Paster, I. Olsen, and G. J. Fraser, Zentralbl. Bakteriol. Parasitenkd. Infektionskr. Hyg. Abt. 1Orig. 279:35-44, 1993), who demonstrated that H. parainjluenzae is phylogenetically only distantly related to the type species of the genus Haemophilus, Haemophilus injluenzae. The phylogenetic diversity of the genus Pasteurellu sensu stricto determined by Dewhirst et al. was also reflected to some extent by different polyamine patterns.

  • Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis
    Studies on the aetiopathogenesis of feline chronic gingivostomatitis S.M.J. Dolieslager DVM, MRCVS Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Medicine, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow June 2012 © Sanne Maria Johanna Dolieslager, June 2012 ii Abstract Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity that causes severe pain and distress. No specific treatment methods are available and little is known about its aetiology. The aims of this study were:- 1) to identify the bacterial flora, including uncultivable and potentially novel species, in healthy cats and those with FCGS, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in combination with conventional culture methods; 2) to investigate the viral status of cats with and without FCGS; 3) to assess the immune response by investigating the expression of cytokine and Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes in tissue biopsies from normal cats and those with FCGS; 4) to investigate the histopathological changes in tissue biopsies from normal cats and those with FCGS, 5) to assess putative risk factors for FCGS by the use of a questionnaire- based study. Oral swabs, mucosal biopsies and blood were collected and the location of the oral lesions was recorded. A total of 32 cats with FCGS and 16 normal cats were included in the study. Bacteria were identified from swabs by use of 16S rRNA gene sequencing and by conventional culture methods. Blood samples and swabs were used for diagnosis of infection with feline leukaemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline herpes virus 1 (FHV-1), feline calicivirus (FCV) and for blood biochemistry and haematology.

Multilocus sequence analysis was performed on the 16S rRNA and three housekeeping (recN, rpoB, infB) gene sequences obtained by PCR. In accordance with the results of phenotypic tests, the phylogenetic analyses confirmed the relatedness of the new strain (6036) to the family Pasteurellaceae. On the phylogenetic trees, strain 6036 appeared in a separate branch, closest to that of the type species (Frederiksenia canicola) of the genus Frederiksenia. These two bacteria shared 95.14 and 76.88% identity in their partial 16S rRNA and recN gene sequences, respectively. The rpoB- and infB-based phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain 6036 is most closely related to Bibersteinia trehalosi (with 90.58% identity) and [Haemophilus] felis ATCC 49733 (89.50% identity), respectively. The predicted genome identity values, based on the recN gene sequences, suggested that strain 6036 can be classified into the genus Frederiksenia as a novel species. A PCR method, specificto strain 6036, was developed to allow its rapid and accurate identification and differentiation from F.

    Classification of Organisms: Pathogenicity classification of bacteria Status September 2017 (CGM/170929-03) COGEM advice CGM/170929-03 Pathogenicity classification of bacteria COGEM advice CGM/170929-03 Dutch Regulations Genetically Modified Organisms In the Decree on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Decree) and its accompanying more detailed Regulations (GMO Regulations) genetically modified micro-organisms are grouped in four pathogenicity classes, ranging from the lowest pathogenicity Class 1 to the highest Class 4.1 The pathogenicity classifications are used to determine the containment level for working in laboratories with GMOs. A micro-organism of Class 1 should at least comply with one of the following conditions: a) the micro-organism does not belong to a species of which representatives are known to be pathogenic for humans, animals or plants, b) the micro-organism has a long history of safe use under conditions without specific containment measures, c) the micro-organism belongs to a species that includes representatives of class 2, 3 or 4, but the particular strain does not contain genetic material that is responsible for the virulence, d) the micro-organism has been shown to be non-virulent through adequate tests. A micro-organism is grouped in Class 2 when it can cause a disease in humans or animals whereby it is unlikely to spread within the population while an effective prophylaxis, treatment or control strategy exists, as well as an organism that can cause a disease in plants. A micro-organism is grouped in Class 3 when it can cause a serious disease in humans or animals whereby it is likely to spread within the population while an effective prophylaxis, treatment or control strategy exists.
