Survey of Enterococcus faecalis in Diseased Swine in Hunan Province, China
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis was investigated in diseased swine in Hunan Province, China between February 2007 and February 2011. A total of 385 diseased swine dissected in prosectorium from 10 representative administrative regions in Hunan Province were examined for the presence of E. faecalis. Forty-two out of 385 (10.91%) diseased swine were found to be infected with E. faecalis by bacteria isolations. E. faecalis was mainly recovered from the lung and joint cavity. Identification of the organisms was based on biochemical assays and sequencing of the partial 16S rRNA. The results of the present investigation have implications for the ongoing control of E. faecalis infections in swine and humans in Hunan Province, China.

We report the complete genome sequence of a field isolate of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), Hunan 23/2013, belonging to the predominant subgenotype 2.1b. This strain was originally isolated from diseased pigs in Hunan Province, China. This report will help in understanding the molecular diversity of CSFV stains circulating in China and in selecting and developing a suitable vaccine candida...

The death of several black bears at the black bear breeding base in Yunnan Pingbian Daweishan is a matter of concern. Multiple black bears exhibited decreased appetite or unusual waste, and some were soporific or suffered from vomiting and anhelation. In order to ascertain the cause of death, 16S rDNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was performed on bacteria isolated from tissue sampl...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Classical Swine Fever Virus Isolates Belonging to a New Subgenotype, 2.1c, from Hunan Province, China
Two isolates of a new classical swine fever virus (CSFV) subgenotype, 2.1c (HNLY-2011 and HNSD-2012), were recently isolated from pigs in Hunan Province, China. The most significant difference in the amino acid sequences of the polyproteins from subgenotypes 2.1a and 2.1b is an SPA → TPV amino acid substitution at positions 777 and 779 in the E2 protein.

Eighty enterococcal isolates (E. faecium, n = 38, E. faecalis, n = 42) from diseased farm animals (swine, cattle, poultry) in Lithuania have been studied for the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and for resistance and virulence genetic determinants. 86% of E. faecium and 71% of E. faecalis isolates were multidrug resistant (resistant to three or more unrelated antibiotics). Resistance to ami...
