To detect Photobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida using the PCR technique and plating method.
Two strains of P. damselae ssp. piscicida were isolated from cultured cobia (Rachycentron canadum) at two different fish farms in Taiwan. A pair of primers was designed to detect the capsular polysaccharide gene of P. damselae ssp. piscicida by PCR. Reference strains of different genus and different clinical strains were used for this study. The expected product (410 bp) was obtained from both P. damselae ssp. piscicida and P. damselae ssp. damselae, and they were differentiated by culturing on thiosulphate citrate bile salts-sucrose agar (TCBS-1). Photobacterium damselae ssp. damselae grew on TCBS-1 producing green colonies whereas P. damselae ssp. piscicida did not grow.
The methods used are cost and labour effective when compared with the other methods and commercially available kits.
This work provides an integrated set of methods to identify the species P. damselae and to differentiate P. damselae ssp. piscicida from P. damselae ssp. damselae.
运用聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术和平板接种法检测美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种。
从台湾两个不同养鱼场养殖的军曹鱼(Rachycentron canadum)中分离出两株美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种。设计了一对引物,通过PCR检测美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种的荚膜多糖基因。本研究使用了不同属的参考菌株和不同的临床菌株。从美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种和美人鱼发光杆菌美人鱼亚种中均获得了预期产物(410 bp),并通过在硫代硫酸盐柠檬酸盐胆盐蔗糖琼脂(TCBS-1)上培养进行区分。美人鱼发光杆菌美人鱼亚种在TCBS-1上生长,产生绿色菌落,而美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种不生长。
与其他方法和市售试剂盒相比,所使用的方法具有成本效益且节省人力。
这项工作提供了一套完整的方法,用于鉴定美人鱼发光杆菌物种,并区分美人鱼发光杆菌杀鱼亚种和美人鱼发光杆菌美人鱼亚种。
