Molecular identification and characterisation of Mannheimia haemolytica
VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY(2024)
摘要
Mannheimia haemolytica is known as one of the major bacterial contributors to Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) syndrome. This study sought to establish a novel species-specific PCR to aid in identification of this key pathogen. As well, an existing multiplex PCR was used to determine the prevalence of serovars 1, 2 or 6 in Australia. Most of the 65 studied isolates originated from cattle with a total of 11 isolates from small ruminants. All problematic field isolates in the identification or serotyping PCRs were subjected to whole genome sequencing and bio-informatic analysis. The field isolates were also subjected to rep-PCR fingerprinting. A total of 59 out of the 65 tested isolates were conformed as M. haemolytica by the new species-specific PCR which is based on the rpoB gene. The confirmed M. haemolytica field isolates were assigned to serovars 1 (24 isolates), 2 (seven isolates) and 6 (26 isolates) while two of the isolates were negative in the serotyping PCR. The two non-typeable isolates were assigned to serovar 7 and 14 following whole genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The rep-PCR typing resulted in five major clusters with serovars 1 and 6 often within the same cluster. The M. haemolytica-specific PCR developed in this work was species specific and should be a valuable support for frontline diagnostic lab-oratories. The serotyping results support the relative importance of serovars 1 and 6 in bovine respiratory disease.
