Isolation of atypical genotype Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 6 in Japan.

ABSTRACT: We describe here isolation of genetically atypical serotype 6 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in Japan indistinguishable by the multiplex PCR that can discriminate between immunologically cross-reactive serotypes 3, 6 and 8. Nucleotide sequence analysis of capsular export and biosynthesis genes revealed that the atypical isolates have capsular polysaccharide export and synthesis gene sequences that are distinct from those of the serotype 6 reference strain. The atypical strains contain a sequence that is identical with both serotype 3- and 6-specific primers, which causes cross-reactions in multiplex PCR.

Isolation of an atypical strain of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 with a truncated lipopolysaccharide outer core and no O-antigen.

Project description:A field isolate of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine fibrinohemorrhagic necrotizing pleuropneumonia, was sent to the diagnostic laboratory for serotyping. The isolate presented a clear reaction, with both polyclonal antibodies against serotype 1 and monoclonal antibodies against the capsular polysaccharide of serotype 1. It also exhibited a PCR profile of Apx toxins expected for serotype 1. The isolate, however, failed to react with monoclonal antibodies against the O-antigen of serotype 1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), suggesting a rough phenotype. The lipid A-core region of the isolate migrated faster than the corresponding region of the serotype 1 reference strain S4074 by Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting the presence of a truncated core. Sugar analysis and mass spectrometry analysis of the O-deacylated LPS from the field isolate were consistent with the absence of O-antigen and truncation of the outer core compared to the wild-type reference strain. Experimental infection of pigs confirmed the virulence of the isolate. This is the first report of an isolate of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 with a truncated outer core and a rough LPS phenotype. Veterinary diagnostic laboratories should be vigilant, since infections caused by such an isolate will not be detected by serological tests based on LPS O-antigen.

Cytolysins of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9.

Project description:Cytolysin I (ClyI) and cytolysin II (ClyII), which are present in the culture supernatant of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9, are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pig pleuropneumonia. The purpose of this study was to clone and characterize the genetic determinants of these cytolysins. Cloning was accomplished by the screening of DNA libraries for the presence of cytolytic activity and for the presence of DNA sequences homologous to leukotoxin DNA of Pasteurella haemolytica. Both genetic determinants were found to be members of the RTX cytotoxin family. The ClyII determinant was characterized in more detail. It appeared that ClyII more closely resembled the leukotoxin of P. haemolytica than the alpha-hemolysin of Escherichia coli. The ClyII amino acid sequence was identical to a hemolysin gene sequence of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5; this finding indicates that the latter gene also codes for ClyII and not for ClyI, as has previously been suggested. The genetic organization of the ClyII determinant differed from the genetic organization of other RTX determinants. Genes responsible for secretion of ClyII were not contiguous with the toxin gene. Instead, secretion genes were present elsewhere in the genome. These secretion genes, however, belong to the ClyI operon. This indicates that the secretion genes of the ClyI operon are responsible for secretion of ClyI and ClyII.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome LF-LC-MS/MS

Project description:Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae affects pig health status and the swine industry worldwide. Despite of the extensive number of studies focused on A. pleuropneumoniae infection and vaccine development, its exoproteome is still rather unexplored. By combining high-throughput mass spectrometry and immunoproteomic approaches, with our current work we provide an in-depth characterisation of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome. Label-free liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed 484 secreted proteins, of which 84 were predicted to be virulence factors and 142 to be exported via different export mechanisms. The RTX toxins ApxIIA, ApxIIIA and ApxIVA were found to be the most abundant proteins in the A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome, although ApxIVA is commonly assumed to be expressed exclusively in vivo. Immunoproteomic approaches coupled to LC-MS/MS analysis allowed to portray the immunogenic proteins within the bacterial exoproteome to identify potential vaccine candidates. Using serum pools from uninfected, acutely infected and chronically infected animals, we were able to monitor the seroconversion during disease progression. Overall, our work is expected to contribute to the understanding of the complex pathogenic mechanisms and to facilitate the discovery of potential antimicrobial agents for controlling porcine pleuropneumonia.

Immunoproteomic analysis of bacterial proteins of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1.

Project description:BackgroundActinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is one of the most important swine pathogens worldwide. Identification and characterization of novel antigenic APP vaccine candidates are underway. In the present study, we use an immunoproteomic approach to identify APP protein antigens that may elicit an immune response in serotype 1 naturally infected swine and serotype 1 virulent strain S259-immunized rabbits.ResultsProteins from total cell lysates of serotype 1 APP were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). Western blot analysis revealed 21 immunoreactive protein spots separated in the pH 4-7 range and 4 spots in the pH 7-11 range with the convalescent sera from swine; we found 5 immunoreactive protein spots that separated in the pH 4-7 range and 2 in the pH 7-11 range with hyperimmune sera from S259-immunized rabbits. The proteins included the known antigens ApxIIA, protective surface antigen D15, outer membrane proteins P5, subunit NqrA. The remaining antigens are being reported as immunoreactive proteins in APP for the first time, to our knowledge.ConclusionsWe identified a total of 42 immunoreactive proteins of the APP serotype 1 virulent strain S259 which represented 32 different proteins, including some novel immunoreactive factors which could be researched as vaccine candidates.

Detection and identification of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 by multiplex PCR.

Project description:Serotyping of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is based on detection of the serotype-specific capsular antigen. However, not all isolates can be serotyped, and some may cross-react with multiple serotyping reagents. To improve sensitivity and specificity of serotyping and for early detection, a multiplex PCR assay was developed for detection of A. pleuropneumoniae and identification of serotype 5 isolates. DNA sequences specific to the conserved export and serotype-specific biosynthesis regions of the capsular polysaccharide of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 were used as primers to amplify 0.7- and 1.1-kb DNA fragments, respectively. The 0.7-kb fragment was amplified from all strains of A. pleuropneumoniae tested with the exception of serotype 4. The 0.7-kb fragment was not amplified from any heterologous species that are also common pathogens or commensals of swine. In contrast, the 1.1-kb fragment was amplified from all serotype 5 strains only. The assay was capable of amplifying DNA from less than 10(2) CFU. The A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 capsular DNA products were readily amplified from lung tissues obtained from infected swine, although the 1.1-kb product was not amplified from some tissues stored frozen for 6 years. The multiplex PCR assay enabled us to detect A. pleuropneumoniae rapidly and to distinguish serotype 5 strains from other serotypes. The use of primers specific to the biosynthesis regions of other A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes would expand the diagnostic and epidemiologic capabilities of this assay.

Isolation and molecular characterization of a urease-negative Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae mutant.

Project description:An atypical urease-negative mutant of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 2 was isolated in Japan. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the urease gene cluster revealed that the insertion of a short DNA sequence into the cbiM gene was responsible for the urease-negative activity of the mutant. Veterinary diagnostic laboratories should be watchful for the presence of aberrant urease-negative A. pleuropneumoniae isolates.
