Construction and characterization of an acapsular mutant of Mannheimia haemolytica A1.
The nmaA and nmaB genes, which code for UDP-GlcNAc-2-epimerase and UDP-ManNAc-dehydrogenase, respectively, are involved in capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis in Mannheimia haemolytica A1. A chloramphenicol resistance (Cm(r)) cassette cloned behind an M. haemolytica A1 promoter, plpcat, was created and used to interrupt nmaA and nmaB. A 1.3-kbp DNA fragment that encompasses part of nmaA and nm...
متن کاملAn electrophoretic characterization of iron-transporting proteins in Mannheimia haemolytica A1.
Iron-regulated outer membrane proteins (IROMPs) in Mannheimia haemolytica A1, which function as a receptor for complexes containing iron ions, are induced by iron deficiency in the growth environment of the bacteria. Densitometric analysis of SDS-PAGE separation showed expression of IROMPs of 71, 77, and 100 kDa in the case of bacteria grown in a medium with 2,2-dipyridyl. The electrophoregrams...
متن کاملAnalysis of in vivo expressed genes in Mannheimia haemolytica A1.
The expression of Mannheimia haemolytica A1 genes during in vivo growth was examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using total RNA extracted directly from M. haemolytica A1 recovered from pneumonic lungs of cattle. Primers specific for three groups of genes were used. Group 1 includes virulence-related genes: lktC, tbpB, ahs, nmaA, gs60 and gcp. Group 2 includes ge...
متن کاملComplete Closed Genome Sequences of a Mannheimia haemolytica Serotype A1 Leukotoxin Deletion Mutant and Its Wild-Type Parent Strain
Mannheimia haemolytica is a bacterial pathogen that secretes leukotoxin (LktA) which binds to leukocyte membranes via CD18, causing bacterial pneumonia in ruminants. We report the complete closed genome sequences of a leukotoxin mutant and its parent strain that are frequently used in respiratory disease studies.
متن کاملComplete Closed Genome Sequences of Mannheimia haemolytica Serotypes A1 and A6, Isolated from Cattle
Mannheimia haemolytica is a respiratory pathogen affecting cattle and related ruminants worldwide. M. haemolytica is commonly associated with bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), a polymicrobial multifactorial disease. We present the first two complete closed genome sequences of this species, determined using an automated assembly pipeline requiring no manual finishing.
