Lineages of Streptococcus equi ssp. equi in the Irish equine industry
BACKGROUND Streptococcus equi ssp. equi is the causative agent of 'Strangles' in horses. This is a debilitating condition leading to economic loss, yard closures and cancellation of equestrian events. There are multiple genotypes of S. equi ssp. equi which can cause disease, but to date there has been no systematic study of strains which are prevalent in Ireland. This study identified and class...
متن کاملIdentification of lipoprotein homologues of pneumococcal PsaA in the equine pathogens Streptococcus equi and Streptococcus zooepidemicus.
Streptococcus equi and Streptococcus zooepidemicus are major etiological agents of upper and lower airway disease in horses. Despite the considerable animal suffering and economic burden associated with these diseases, the factors that contribute to the virulence of these equine pathogens have not been extensively investigated. Here we demonstrate the presence of a homologue of the Streptococcu...
متن کاملInhibition of C3 deposition on Streptococcus equi subsp. equi by M protein: a mechanism for survival in equine blood.
The effect of the M protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi on complement deposition, complement degradation, and bacterial survival in equine whole blood was examined in vitro. Preincubation of bacteria with rabbit M protein-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) inhibited the survival of the M+ strain in whole blood by 20-fold (P < 0.01). In addition, preincubation of bacteria with M protein-speci...
متن کاملINTERACTION OF DOXORUBICIN WITH DNA-HMG1 COMPLEX
In this study, the interaction of the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin with DNA-HMG 1 complex was investigated employing UV/VIS spectroscopy, thermal denaturation and DNA cellulose chromatography techniques. The results indicated that the binding of doxorubicin to the protein reduces its Tm in a dose dependent manner. Although doxorubicin protects free DNA against thermal denaturation ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus Strain S31A1, Isolated from Equine Infectious Endometritis
We present the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus S31A1, a strain isolated from equine infectious endometritis in Denmark. Comparative analyses of this genome were done with four published reference genomes: S. zooepidemicus strains MGCS10565, ATCC 35246, and H70 and S. equi subsp. equi strain 4047.
