Identification of novel immunogens in Pasteurella multocida.

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED: P. multocida is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for causing diseases in animals of economic significance to livestock industries throughout the world. Current vaccines include bacterins, which provide only limited protection against homologous serotypes. Therefore there is a need for more effective vaccines to control diseases caused by P. multocida. As a step towards developing vaccines against fowl cholera, a genomics based approach was applied for the identification of novel immunogens. RESULTS: Bioinformatics analysis of the P. multocida genome predicted 129 proteins as secreted, located in the outer membrane, or lipoproteins. 105 of the genes encoding these proteins were cloned and recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli. Polyclonal serum from P. multocida-infected chickens reacted with a subset of these proteins. CONCLUSION: These data show the range of bacterial immunogens recognized by the chicken immune system, including 6 novel immunoreactive proteins.

Two novel cross‑protective antigens for bovine Pasteurella multocida.

Project description:Pasteurella multocida is an important pathogen that leads to a range of diseases that have severe economic consequences on cattle production. In order to develop an effective cross‑protective component vaccine, an immunoproteomics approach was used to analyze outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of the P. multocida serotype A, B and F strains. Candidate antigen molecules from the whole genome were screened via linear trap quadrupole mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis, and the reactogenicity of the candidate antigen molecules was analyzed via cloning, expression, and ELISA or protein immunoblotting, and the vaccine efficacy of the candidate molecules was determined in infective animal models and cross‑protective antigens may be obtained. rPmCQ2_2g0128, rPmCQ2_1g0327 and rPmCQ2_1g0020 proteins were selected. Their protective rates were 40/30/20% (rPmCQ2_2g0128), 50/40/0% (rPmCQ2_1g0327) and 0/40/30% (rPmCQ2_1g0020) against ten‑fold median lethal dose (10LD50) of the P. multocida serotypes A, B and F in a mouse model, respectively. The results suggested that the two proteins rPmCQ2_2g0128 and rPmCQ2_1g0327 may be used as vaccine candidates against bovine P. multocida serotypes A, B. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to identify cross‑protective antigens, extracted OMPs from bovine P. multocida.

PmST2: a novel Pasteurella multocida glycolipid α2-3-sialyltransferase.

Project description:Pasteurella multocida (Pm) is a multi-species pathogen that causes diseases in animals and humans. Sialyltransferase activity has been detected in multiple Pm strains and sialylation has been shown to be important for the pathogenesis of Pm. Three putative sialyltransferase genes have been identified in Pm genomic strain Pm70. We have reported previously that a Pm0188 gene homolog in Pm strain P-1059 (ATCC 15742) encodes a multifunctional sialyltransferase (PmST1). We demonstrate here that while PmST1 prefers to use oligosaccharides as acceptors, PmST2 encoded by the Pm0508 gene homolog in the same Pm strain is a novel glycolipid α2-3-sialyltransferase that prefers to use lactosyl lipids as acceptor substrates. PmST2 and PmST1 thus complement each other for an efficient synthesis of α2-3-linked sialosides with or without lipid portion. In addition, β1-4-linked galactosyl lipids are better PmST2 substrates than β1-3-linked galactosyl lipids. PmST2 has been used successfully in the preparative scale synthesis of sialyllactosyl sphingosine (lyso-GM3), which is an important glycolipid and an intermediate for synthesizing more complex glycolipids such as gangliosides.

Identification and evolution of ICE-PmuST394: a novel integrative conjugative element in Pasteurella multocida ST394.

Project description:BackgroundThe emergence of macrolide and tetracycline resistance within Pasteurella multocida isolated from feedlot cattle and the dominance of ST394 in Australia was reported recently.ObjectivesTo establish the genetic context of the resistance genes in P. multocida 17BRD-035, the ST394 reference genome, and conduct a molecular risk assessment of their ability to disperse laterally.MethodsA bioinformatic analysis of the P. multocida 17BRD-035 genome was conducted to determine if integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) carrying resistance genes, which hamper antibiotic treatment options locally, are in circulation in Australian feedlots.ResultsA novel element, ICE-PmuST394, was characterized in P. multocida 17BRD-035. It was also identified in three other isolates (two ST394s and a ST125) in Australia and is likely present in a genome representing P. multocida ST79 from the USA. ICE-PmuST394 houses a resistance module carrying two variants of the blaROB gene, blaROB-1 and blaROB-13, and the macrolide esterase gene, estT. The resistance gene combination on ICE-PmuST394 confers resistance to ampicillin and tilmicosin, but not to tulathromycin and tildipirosin. Our analysis suggests that ICE-PmuST394 is circulating both by clonal expansion and horizontal transfer but is currently restricted to a single feedlot in Australia.ConclusionsICE-PmuST394 carries a limited number of unusual antimicrobial resistance genes but has hotspots that facilitate genomic recombination. The element is therefore amenable to hosting more resistance genes, and therefore its presence (or dispersal) should be regularly monitored. The element has a unique molecular marker, which could be exploited for genomic surveillance purposes locally and globally.

Pasteurella multocida: Genotypes and Genomics.

Project description:Pasteurella multocida is a highly versatile pathogen capable of causing infections in a wide range of domestic and wild animals as well as in humans and nonhuman primates. Despite over 135 years of research, the molecular basis for the myriad manifestations of P. multocida pathogenesis and the determinants of P. multocida phylogeny remain poorly defined. The current availability of multiple P. multocida genome sequences now makes it possible to delve into the underlying genetic mechanisms of P. multocida fitness and virulence. Using whole-genome sequences, the genotypes, including the capsular genotypes, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) genotypes, and multilocus sequence types, as well as virulence factor-encoding genes of P. multocida isolates from different clinical presentations can be characterized rapidly and accurately. Putative genetic factors that contribute to virulence, fitness, host specificity, and disease predilection can also be identified through comparative genome analysis of different P. multocida isolates. However, although some knowledge about genotypes, fitness, and pathogenesis has been gained from the recent whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis studies of P. multocida, there is still a long way to go before we fully understand the pathogenic mechanisms of this important zoonotic pathogen. The quality of several available genome sequences is low, as they are assemblies with relatively low coverage, and genomes of P. multocida isolates from some uncommon host species are still limited or lacking. Here, we review recent advances, as well as continuing knowledge gaps, in our understanding of determinants contributing to virulence, fitness, host specificity, disease predilection, and phylogeny of P. multocida.

Comparison of the transcriptomes of a Pasteurella multocida VP161 wild-type strain with a Pasteurella multocida VP161 hfq mutant

Project description:Objectives: To determine the transcripts that are differentially expressed in a hfq mutant. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that mediates many interactions between regultory RNAs and their mRNA targets. Analysis of the transcriptomes of the Pasteurella multocida wild-type strain and the Pasteurella multocida hfq mutant will allow for identification of genes controlled by hfq and the sRNAs with which it interacts. Methods: RNA sequencing was employed to determine the transcriptomes of a wild-type Pasteurella multocida strain and a hfq mutant strain. Comparison of these two transcriptomes allows for determination of differentially expressed genes and therefore those genes controlled by Hfq and sRNAs with which it interacts.

Characterization of a novel transferrin receptor in bovine strains of Pasteurella multocida.

Project description:Analysis of bovine respiratory isolates of Pasteurella multocida demonstrated that six of nine strains tested were capable of growth dependent upon bovine transferrin and of specifically binding ruminant transferrins. A single 82-kDa protein was affinity isolated from the P. multocida strains with immobilized bovine transferrin. In contrast to what has been observed in other species, binding of this protein to immobilized transferrin was specifically blocked by the N-lobe subfragment of bovine transferrin. A single gene encoding the 82-kDa protein was flanked by a leucyl-tRNA synthetase gene and an IS1060 element, in contrast to other species where genes encoding the two receptor proteins (TbpB and TbpA) are found in an operonic arrangement. A similar gene arrangement was observed in all of the receptor-positive strains, in spite of the observation that they belonged to different genomic groups. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of the receptor protein indicated that it is a member of the TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor family, and although it is related to transferrin and lactoferrin receptor proteins (TbpAs and LbpAs) from other species, it differs substantially from other members of this group. Amino acid alignments suggest that the reduced size (20 kDa smaller) of the P. multocida TbpA is primarily due to the absence of larger predicted external loops. Collectively these results suggest that P. multocida has a single, novel receptor protein (TbpA) that is capable of efficiently mediating iron acquisition from bovine transferrin without the involvement of a second receptor protein (TbpB).
