rRNA gene restriction patterns of Vibrio anguillarum serogroup 0 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Forty-four strains of Vibrio anguillarum serogroup 0 1 isolated from dead or diseased fish from several, mainly European, countries were selected for rRNA gene restriction pattern analysis. With HindIII, 6 different ribotypes were detected of which 1 profile was dominant with respect to geographical distribution as well as fish species. Also with EcoRI, 6 patterns were found; 1 profile was clearly dominant. The majority of strains belonging to the dominant Hind111 profile also expressed the dominant EcoRI profile. It is concluded that ribotyping may be a valuable tool in epidemiological investigations and for research purposes within V anguiflarum serogroup 0

Ribotypes and plasmid contents of Vibrio anguillarum strains in relation to serovar.
Eighty-six strains of the 10 major agglutination types of Vibrio anguillarum (serovars O1 to O10) and 6 nontypeable strains of V. anguillarum have been characterized by ribotyping with a probe complementary to 16S and 23S rRNA of Escherichia coli and by plasmid profile analysis. Forty-four different ribotypes were observed with the restriction enzyme HindIII. Ribotype similarity was compared by...
متن کاملVibrio anguillarum resistance to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) serum: role of O-antigen structure of lipopolysaccharide.
The sensitivity of Vibrio anguillarum to the bactericidal effect of rainbow trout serum was investigated with different strains of serogroups O1 and O2a, which are the most frequently found serogroups in clinical outbreaks of vibriosis. All of the V. anguillarum strains were able to activate complement in rainbow trout serum, but smooth strains of V. anguillarum serogroup O1 were resistant to c...
متن کاملBiochemical and serological analysis of Vibrio anguillarum related organisms
This work reports on the phenotypic and serological characterization of Vibrio anguillarum related (VAR) organisms isolated from diseased fish, shellfish, and from the environment in different geographical areas. Reference strains of V. a n g u ~ l l a r u m (serotypes 0 1 to 010) and V splendidus (biotype I ) were lncluded for comparison. On the basis of numerical taxonomy analysis the stralns...
متن کاملRestriction fragment length polymorphism of the Vibrio anguillarum serovar O1 virulence plasmid.
Seventy-eight strains of Vibrio anguillarum serovar O1, all harboring one 65- to 70-kilobase plasmid, were typed according to restriction fragment length polymorphism of the plasmid. Six types, three of which comprised 96% of the strains examined, were produced with the restriction endonuclease BamHI. The fragment length polymorphism type did not correlate to any of 12 different phenotypic prop...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae O139 in China: polymorphism of ribotypes and CTX elements.
Vibrio cholerae O139, the second etiological serogroup of cholera, triggered the first outbreak of O139 cholera in China in 1993. To analyze the clone polymorphism of O139 isolates in China, 117 strains of V. cholerae O139, isolated from different areas in China between 1993 and 1999, were selected to characterize the phylogenetic relationships by molecular techniques. Analysis of restriction f...
