چکیده

Strain 0083 and two field isolates of H. paragallinarum were previously converted into NAD-independent organisms by the use of crude DNA extractions from naturally occurring NAD-independent H. paragallinarum isolates. Two of these transformed isolates [0083(T) and A745(T)] were used as DNA donors in another transformation experiment in which another field isolate (M85) was used as the DNA recipient. Transformation was confirmed by lack of NAD requirement for growth, by carbohydrate fermentation patterns and by a comparison of the monoclonal antibody patterns of the isolates before and after transformation. Previously, antigenic differences were observed when DNA from an NAD-independent isolate was introduced into strain 0083. Antigenic differences were also seen in the transformed M85 organisms prepared in this work, and these differences were dependent on the antigenic patterns of the DNA donors. It was established by haemagglutination (HA) and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) that the hemagglutinins of 0083, A745/92 and M85 were not affected by transformation. The use of strains transformed to NAD independence for vaccine production appears to be a valid approach, as the transformation appears not to affect the hemagglutinins of the transformed organisms The major advantage would be the alleviation of the requirement for chicken serum or NAD in the bacterial growth medium used for infectious-coryza-vaccine production.

Virulence of South African isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum. Part 3: experimentally produced NAD-independent isolate.

A NAD-dependent isolate 46 (C-3) of Haemophilus paragallinarum, which was previously demonstrated to be of high virulence, was transformed to NAD independence using a plasmid isolated from a naturally occurring NAD-independent isolate of H. paragallinarum. The transformation was performed by two different methods and the identity of all of the isolates, before and after transformation was confi...

Reclassification of Pasteurella gallinarum, [Haemophilus] paragallinarum, Pasteurella avium and Pasteurella volantium as Avibacterium gallinarum gen. nov., comb. nov., Avibacterium paragallinarum comb. nov., Avibacterium avium comb. nov. and Avibacterium volantium comb. nov.

This paper describes a phenotypic and genotypic investigation of the taxonomy of [Haemophilus] paragallinarum, Pasteurella gallinarum, Pasteurella avium and Pasteurella volantium, a major subcluster within the avian 16S rRNA cluster 18 of the family Pasteurellaceae. An extended phenotypic characterization was performed of the type strain of [Haemophilus] paragallinarum, which is NAD-dependent, ...

Genetic organisation of the capsule transport gene region from Haemophilus paragallinarum.

The region involved in export of the capsule polysaccharides to the cell surface of Haemophilus paragallinarum was cloned and the genetic organisation determined. Degenerate primers designed from sequence alignment of the capsule transport genes of Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella multocida and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae were used to amplify a 2.6 kb fragment containing a segment of the...

Genetic analysis of a plasmid encoding haemocin production in Haemophilus paragallinarum.

The full sequence of plasmid p250, isolated from Haemophilus paragallinarum strain HP250, has been obtained. The plasmid contains seven ORFs: a putative integrase, a putative replication protein (repB) and five ORFs similar to those from the haemocin (bacteriocin) hmcDCBAI operon from Haemophilus influenzae. Of 19 other non-plasmid-containing H. paragallinarum strains screened (11 serovar refer...
