Detection of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in pet Djungarian hamsters in Japan
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prevalence of Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was examined in 151 pet animals including 108 rodents, 39 rabbits and four sugar gliders from 13 pet stores in the Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Y. enterocolitica serogroup O:3 biotype 3 negative for the Voges-Proskauer reaction (O:3/3 variant VP-) was isolated from five Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) raised at the same pet store. These pathogenic Y. enterocolitica isolates carried the virulence genes, yadA, ail and virF, and were shown to be clonal by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with NotI digestion. This is a first report of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica O:3/3 variant VP- in pet Djungarian hamsters in Japan.

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important pathogen to animals and humans. Thirteen strains of Y. enterocolitica were isolated from diseased fish. The partial 16SrDNA gene, five virulence genes, pathogenicity, and drug resistance of Y. enterocolitica strain G6029 were studied using molecular biological technology and toxicological method. Results showed that the length of amplified 16SrDNA sequenc...

Yersinia enterocolitis causes a wide spectrum of human diseases including gasteroentritis, which is the most frequent of its manifestation. Other diseases and clinical syndromes resulting from Yersinia enterocolitica are septicemia, mesenteric lymphadenitis, apendisitis, exudative pharyngitis, reactive artiritis, nodosum erythema and rarely Reiter's syndrome. In many countries such as western E...
متن کاملWo-Step Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Detection of Yersinia Species in General and of Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica Strains Specifically
Objectives: Detection of Yersinia enterocolitica in clinical samples is still not sensitive and fast enough. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers the advantages of sensitivity, specificity, and rapidity. A two-step PCR assay to detect pathogenic Y: enterocolitica in infected tissue has been developed. Method: In the first step of the PCR assay, a general primer PCR amplification of the small ...
متن کاملDetection and identification of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by an improved polymerase chain reaction method.
We developed a polymerase chain reaction method in order to detect and identify both Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica. Polymerase chain reaction was performed by using a mixture of primers against the inv gene from Y. pseudotuberculosis and the ail gene from pathogenic Y. enterocolitica. Further addition of primers against the plasmid-coded virF gene from Y. en...
