چکیده

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 properties tested.

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...

The anguibactin biosynthesis and transport genes are encoded in the chromosome of Vibrio harveyi: a possible evolutionary origin for the pJM1 plasmid–encoded system of Vibrio anguillarum?

Many Vibrio anguillarum serotype O1 strains carry 65-kb pJM1-type plasmids harboring genes involved in siderophore anguibactin biosynthesis and transport. The anguibactin system is an essential factor for V. anguillarum to survive under iron-limiting conditions, and as a consequence, it is a very important virulence factor of this bacterium. Our comparative analysis of genomic data identified a...

Four novel hemolysin genes of Vibrio anguillarum and their virulence to rainbow trout.

Four nucleotide sequences showing homology to known hemolysin genes were cloned and sequenced from V. anguillarum strain H775-3. The four genes, vah2, vah3, vah4 and vah5, have open reading frames encoding polypeptides of 291, 690, 200 and 585 amino acid residues, respectively, with predicted molecular masses of 33, 75, 22 and 66KDa, respectively. VAH2 is most closely related to a putative hemo...

The Vibrio cholerae O1 chromosomal integron.

Until the discovery of the Vibrio cholerae repeat (VCR), the gene capture and expression systems termed integrons had been typically associated with antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes with usually less than five genes in an array. A method is described for the cloning of the ends of large cassette arrays. Conserved restriction sites within VCRs facilitated the mapping by Southern hybridizatio...

Genetic diversity of clinical and environmental isolates of Vibrio cholerae determined by amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting.

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of major epidemics of diarrheal disease in Bangladesh, South America, Southeastern Asia, and Africa, was isolated from clinical samples and from aquatic environments during and between epidemics over the past 20 years. To determine the evolutionary relationships and molecular diversity of these strains, in order to understand sources, origin, and epidemiolog...
