ABSTRACT
From 2006 to 2008, the susceptibility of different species of animal hosts to Campyebacter jejubni infection was observed in various areas of Jiangsu province, in which the API Campy System was used to perform the biochemical identification and the multiple PCR assay was employed to analyse the C.jejuni isolates from 3010 specimens of fouls. Cattle, pigs and monkeys, and in addition, the susceptibility of isolates to various antibiotics was also determined. In these specimens investigated 402 samples were found to be positive in the detection of C.jejuni with a positive detection rate of 13.36%. The positive detection rates in chicken, water fouls, milk cows, pigs, monkey, red crowned crane and wapiti were 15.83% (258/1630), 10.4% (52/100), 8.24% (42/510), 15.63% (25/160), 15% (15/100), 12.5% (15/80) and 0% (0/30) respectively. Meanwhile, the antibiotics to which the isolates from different hosts showed high rate of sensitivity to 27 antibiotics of 10 varieties included: chloromycetin (100%), Almocylin (99.7%), amicarcin (92.59%), cefprozil (91.67%), alchimycin (90.74%); while the antibiotics to which these isolates showed high rate of resistance were compound neoromin (99.7%), cefoperazone (99.07%), trimethoprim (97.22%), cepronatin (91.67%), cepromondo (99,07%) respectively. It is evident that the susceptibility of different hosts to C.jejuni infection and the status of drug-resistance of the isolates appear to be quite different and more complicated in Jiangsu province.
ABSTRACT
Aim study the characteristic of the hemolysin of Edwardsiella tarda. Methods Manner plate assay, contact hemolysis and supernatant assay were used. Result discuss the factors about affecting hemolysis activity and testing have been discussed. Conclusion there are at least two kinds of hemolysins of Edwardsiella tarda, activity of which is different with circumstance changing.
