چکیده
Yersinia ruckeri is a gram-negative pathogen causing enteric redmouth disease in salmonids. Previous studies have reported that Y. ruckeri harbors an ampC gene that is expressed at low level. In this present work, the entire ampC gene of Y. ruckeri was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The AmpC enzyme confers resistance to aminopenicillins and narrow-spectrum cephalosporins, which fit well with the kinetic properties of the purified enzyme. Phylogenetic analysis showed that YRC-1 did not share significant sequence identity with known plasmidmediated or chromosomal AmpC enzymes. This work provides further evidence that fish-pathogenic gram-negative rod species may constitute a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes.

In vitro antigen trapping by gill cells of the rainbow trout: an immunohistochemical study.
An in vitro assay was used to study the involvement of gill cells in the trapping and processing of particulate antigens. Gills were routinely processed for light microscopy after being placed in medium containing either Yersinia ruckeri O-antigen-labelled fluorescent beads, unlabelled fluorescent beads, Y, ruckeri O-antigen or formalin-killed Y. ruckeri, for 0, 30 s, 1, 5 and 30 min. Y. rucker...
متن کاملYersiniosis in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua (L.), characterization of the infective strain and host reactions.
A disease outbreak in farmed Atlantic cod caused by Yersinia ruckeri is reported. Mortality started following vaccination of cod reared in two tanks (A and B). The accumulated mortality reached 1.9% in A and 4.8% in B in the following 30 days when treatment with oxytetracycline was applied. Biochemical and molecular analysis of Y. ruckeri isolates from the cod and other fish species from fresh ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Yersinia ruckeri strains isolated from trout farms in northwest Germany.
Enteric redmouth disease (ERM), caused by Yersinia ruckeri, is among the most important infectious diseases in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss aquaculture in Europe. Our aim was to analyse the persistence of Y. ruckeri strains in trout farms in northwest Germany and their dissemination between farms based on a detailed molecular and phenotypical characterisation scheme. The data on identifica...
متن کاملFirst report of Yersinia ruckeri biotype 2 in the USA.
A polyphasic characterization of atypical isolates of Yersinia ruckeri (causative agent of enteric redmouth disease in trout) obtained from hatchery-reared brown trout Salmo trutta in South Carolina was performed. The Y. ruckeri isolates were biochemically and genetically distinct from reference cultures, including the type strain, but were unequivocally ascribed to the species Y. ruckeri, base...
متن کاملAssociation between Plasma Antibody Response and Protection in Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Immersion Vaccinated against Yersinia ruckeri
A key hallmark of the vertebrate adaptive immune system is the generation of antigen-specific antibodies from B cells. Fish are the most primitive gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates) possessing an adaptive immune system. Vaccination of rainbow trout against enteric redmouth disease (ERM) by immersion in Yersinia ruckeri bacterin confers a high degree of protection to the fish. The immune mechanism...
