Serotyping reanalysis of unserotypable Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates by agar gel diffusion test
نویسندگان
چکیده
We observed increasing unserotypable (UT) Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates using agar gel diffusion (AGD) test. To reanalyze their serovar, we performed rapid slide agglutination (RSA) test and multiplex PCR for 47 UT isolates. Of these, 25 were serovar 1 (UT-serovar 1), 20 were serovar 2 (UT-serovar 2) and 2 were serovar 15 (UT-serovar 15). We examined serotyping antigen extraction temperature to determine heat influence. UT-serovar 1 and 15 were influenced by heat, because their precipitation lines were observed in the case of low antigen extraction temperature. To investigate the relationship between antigenicity and genotype, we performed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis using UT-serovar 2 and 15. The predominant PFGE pattern of UT-serovar 2 was identical to that of serovar 2.

Evaluation of a multiplex PCR test for simultaneous identification and serotyping of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 2, 5, and 6.
Serotype-specific DNA regions involved in the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharides (cps region) were used to develop a multiplex PCR test for the simultaneous species identification and serotyping of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 2, 5, and 6. Primers specific for serotypes 2, 5, and 6 were combined with the already existing species-specific primers used in a PCR test based on th...

In the most recent study on the serological characterisation of Australian isolates of A pleuropneumoniae, a large percentage of isolates either gave cross-reactions with serovars 3 and 6 (47/256 isolates) or no reaction at all (91/256 isolates).11 This study was performed using slide agglutination and GD, techniques which had performed effectively in the past.5 The high incidence of isolates t...

A total of 245 isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae included in this study were isolated from lung tissues of pigs which died of porcine pleuropneumonia. The isolates were obtained from 52 swine herds in the Czech Republic over the period 2003–2004. All the serotypes were serotyped by the coagglutination test. All isolates with cross-reactivity between serotypes 9 and 11 or 1, 9, and 11 ...
متن کاملDetection and identification of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 by multiplex PCR.
Serotyping of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is based on detection of the serotype-specific capsular antigen. However, not all isolates can be serotyped, and some may cross-react with multiple serotyping reagents. To improve sensitivity and specificity of serotyping and for early detection, a multiplex PCR assay was developed for detection of A. pleuropneumoniae and identification of serotype ...
