The Relationship Between In Vitro Adherence Capability and Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae for Swine
نویسندگان
چکیده
and Implications The data indicated a positive correlation exists between in vitro adherence capability and in vivo pathogenicity of M. hyopneumoniae clones. Results obtained with the in vitro microtiter plate adherence assay indicated that it can be used to estimate the pathogenicity of strains. However, low adherence capability and possibly pathogenicity were not stable as indicated by the shifting adherence capability of M. hyopneumoniae during in vivo growth. In this study, the in vivo environment apparently favored development of a population of more adherent M. hyopneumoniae. Further research to identify immunogenic, protective proteins involved in this phenomenon could enable development of improved M. hyopneumoniae vaccines.

R1 region of P97 mediates adherence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to swine cilia.
Adherence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to the swine respiratory tract is mediated by the membrane protein P97. This protein is located on the outer membrane surface, and its role in adherence has been firmly established. The general region of P97 that mediates adherence to swine cilia is thought to be the R1 region near the carboxy terminus of the protein, but it was not clear if this region cou...
متن کاملIdentification of the cilium binding epitope of the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae P97 adhesin.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae colonizes the swine respiratory tract at the level of ciliated cells by attaching specifically to the cilium membrane. This interaction involves an adhesin called P97; the cilium binding activity of this protein was localized to the carboxy terminus, which included two repeat regions, R1 and R2 (T. Hsu, S. Artiushin, and F. C. Minion, J. Bacteriol. 179:1317-1323, 1997)....

Background Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma flocculare are two closely related mycoplasma species often found in the porcine respiratory tract[1]. However, M. hyopenumoniae is pathogenic, being the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia, while M. flocculare is a commensal bacterium. Enzootic pneumonia is a contagious respiratory disease characterized by chronic cough, growth retardation, ...
متن کاملMhp107 is a member of the multifunctional adhesin family of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative pathogen of porcine enzootic pneumonia, an economically significant disease that disrupts the mucociliary escalator in the swine respiratory tract. Expression of Mhp107, a P97 paralog encoded by the gene mhp107, was confirmed using ESI-MS/MS. To investigate the function of Mhp107, three recombinant proteins, F1(Mhp107), F2(Mhp107), and F3(Mhp107), spann...
متن کاملOral immunization of mice with attenuated Salmonella typhimurium aroA expressing a recombinant Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae antigen (NrdF).
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, a commercially expensive respiratory disease of swine. Salmonella typhimurium SL3261 was used as a live carrier of plasmid pKF1, which encodes a 15-kDa recombinant M. hyopneumoniae protein. This expressed recombinant protein consists of the carboxy-terminal 11 kDa of a 42-kDa M. hyopneumoniae NrdF ribonucleotide re...
