ABSTRACT

@#Abstract: Objective To observe the phenotypic characteristics of 3 wild-type plague phages under different experimental environments, providing scientific evidence for the identification of phage biological characteristics and the study of their interaction with host bacteria in the future. Methods The sensitivity of 3 wild-type plague phages were detected by using liquid culture method, emisolid medium method and micro-liquid culture method based on OmniLog TM microbial identification system. Results The growth result based on LB liquid medium showed that the growth of plague phage 476 for 20-24 hours at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃was better than that of plague phages 087 and 072204 at 37 ℃, and the growth of plague phages 087 was better than that of plague phages 072204 at 37 ℃. With the attenuated plague bacterium EV76 as the host bacterium, phage 476 was able to form visible plaque on double-layer agar medium for 20-20 hours at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃, phages 087 and 072204 were only able to form opaque plaque on double-layer agar medium for 20-24 hours at 37 ℃. The growth results based on OmniLogTM system showed that when plague phage was lysed in EV76 strain at 33 ℃, the first row appeared as a straight line with a peak of no more than 100 in the 96-well microplate curve chart. As the phage quantity decreased, the dilution plate appeared with growth curve similar to EV76 strain in turn, and the color of tetrazolium dyes in the experimental wells gradually deepened as the phage number decreased and the host bacteria number increased. Therefore, it indicates that phage 476 was sensitively at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃, while phage 087 and 072204 were temperature-dependent only at 37 ℃ to attenuated plague bacterium EV76. Conclusions The lysing ability of 3 wild-type plague phages are temperature-dependent, and the growth results are consistent under the three experimental conditions.

ABSTRACT

@#Abstract: Objective To detect and analyze the antiserum of Yersinia pestis phage in Marmota himalayana blood from the natural plague foci of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by micro-bolus technique, to provide a theoretical basis for interaction between phages and mammalian immunology, phage therapy and interaction between bacteriophage and ecology in future. Methods Using diagnostic Yersinia pestis phage and 3 wild plague phages from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Natural Plague Foci as antigens, 847 serums of Marmota Himalayana blood, from Tongde, Guinan, Gonghe, Xinghai, Tianjun foci counties in Qinghai Plateau, were collected from July to September in 2020, 2021 and determined on antiserum of Yersinia pestis phage by microplate method and double agar plate method. Results The neutralization reaction experiment lasted for 24 hours between 4 phage and 847 serums by microplate method independently. These mixtures were tested by double agar plate method. All results were negative on antiserum of Yersinia pestis bacteriophage. Conclusions The positive antiserum of Yersinia pestis phage in Marmota himalayana were not found the natural plague foci of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which agreed with plague epidemiology in 5 foci counties in Qinghai plateau from 2020-2021, that was a characteristic of the resting period. In other words, it was in the absence of plague pathogen. It also showed indirectly that the absence or weak presence of Yersinia pestis bacteriophage in the plague foci. It showed a lower frequency on host animals coming into contact with phages naturally. The antiserum of Yersinia pestis phage may be related to the form of plague infection and the intensity of the disease.
