Nonradioactive colony lift-hybridization assay for detection of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection in swine.

چکیده
Current methods for the isolation and identification of Bordetella bronchiseptica from clinical samples are time-consuming and are based, in part, on subjective observations. We describe the use of a Bordetella-specific DNA probe in a nonradioactive colony lift-hybridization assay for the identification of B. bronchiseptica. Eleven of 82 clinical specimens were found to contain B. bronchiseptica by this method, while only 5 of these were reported to contain the organism when the specimens were analyzed by traditional methods. The chromosomal fragment containing a sequence complementary to the probe appeared to be conserved in B. bronchiseptica isolates from swine from a variety of sources. The assay is more rapid than culture and biochemical testing since it can be performed directly on primary culture plates, even when they are heavily contaminated with other bacterial species. Only minimal training is required to accomplish the assay successfully, and the results are easy to interpret.

Two-color hybridization assay for simultaneous detection of Bordetella bronchiseptica and toxigenic Pasteurella multocida from swine.
Bordetella bronchiseptica and toxigenic Pasteurella multocida are the etiologic agents of swine atrophic rhinitis. Methods currently used for their identification are time-consuming and suffer from a lack of sensitivity. We describe a colony lift-hybridization assay for detection of B. bronchiseptica and toxigenic P. multocida that can be performed with a single colony lift derived from a prima...

Three comparative assays were performed seeking to improve the sensitivity of the diagnosis of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection analyzing swine nasal swabs. An initial assay compared the recovery of B. bronchiseptica from swabs simultaneously inoculated with B. bronchiseptica and some interfering bacteria, immersed into three transport formulations (Amies with charcoal, trypticase soy broth ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida are etiologic agents of progressive atrophic rhinitis (PAR) and bronchopneumonia in swine. Only dermonecrotic toxin-producing strains of P. multocida play a role in atrophic rhinitis while both toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains have been associated with pneumonia. Monitoring and investigation of outbreaks involving these bacteria require sens...
متن کاملPhenotypic modulation of the virulent Bvg phase is not required for pathogenesis and transmission of Bordetella bronchiseptica in swine.
The majority of virulence gene expression in Bordetella is regulated by a two-component sensory transduction system encoded by the bvg locus. In response to environmental cues, the BvgAS regulatory system controls expression of a spectrum of phenotypic phases, transitioning between a virulent (Bvg(+)) phase and a nonvirulent (Bvg(-)) phase, a process referred to as phenotypic modulation. We hyp...
