ABSTRACT
Yersiniosis is one of the "other infectious diarrhea" of the notifiable infectious diseases and also an important food-borne disease. However, it lacked the basis or standard for diagnosis. The Chinese Preventive Medicine Association coordinated experienced researchers from National Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, China CDC and other institutes to produce the group standard entitled "Diagnosis of Yersiniosis" (T/CPMA 005-2019). Based on the principle of "legality, scientificity, advancement, and feasibility" , the standard gives a clear definition for Yerisiniosis, stipulates diagnosis basis, principles and main differential diagnosis and provides two informative appendixes for epidemiological and clinical characteristics and a normative appendix for laboratory detection. The standard provides accurate basis and methods of Yersiniosis diagnosis for hospitals and CDCs at all levels in China. It will solve the problems that Yersiniosis cannot be clearly diagnosed for clinical cases and in the outbreaks.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the phenotypic diversity of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains isolated from different provinces in China during the last 50 years. Methods Traditional biotyping testings including susceptibility to polymyxin B,sensitivity to groupⅣphage, Voges-Proskauer test and haemolysis of sheep erythrocytes were conducted. Results Data from Biotype-specific phenotype analysis revealed that only 133 isolates carryed the typical El Tor phenotypes while the other 251 isolates displayed atypical El Tor phenotypes. Combined with ctxB, rstR genotypes and phenotypic characteristics,64 isolates were identified as typical El Tor biotype,21 were El Tor variants that showing the typical El Tor biotype-specific phenotype but with ctxBclas . 280 isolates were defined as the hybrid groups with traits of both classical and El Tor biotypes that could be further classified into 45 groups,based on the combination of genotypes of ctxB,rstR and phenotypic characteristics. Conclusion Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains that isolated from different provinces in China displayed high phenotypic diversity. The traditional biotype traits could not be used to correctly distinguish the two different biotypes.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the ctxB and rstR variations of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae (V.cholerae) O1 El Tor strains isolated from different provinces in China from 1961 to 2010.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>All 385 toxigenic V.cholerae O1 El Tor strains were selected, which were isolated in China between year 1961 and 2010. ctxB gene was amplified by PCR method and sequenced for further analysis. rstR was detected with PCR by using the genotype specific primers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>ctxB sequence analysis revealed that 52.5% (202/385) isolates carried ctxB(ET) and 47.5% (183/385) carried ctxB(class), namely Y(39) to H and I(68) to T substitutions which were specific to the classical biotype CT-B sequence. From 1961 to 1992, strains carrying ctxB(ET) were predominant and the proportion was as high as 98.4% (182/185). After 1993, strains carrying ctxB(class) were sharply increased. Especially during year 1993 to year 2005, 97.2% (174/179) of the isolated strains carried ctxB(class). Since 2006, resurgence of dominant strains carrying ctxB(ET) or co-existing of strains with ctxB(ET) or ctxB(class) was noticed. rstR genotype detection showed that 62.9% (242/385)of the tested strains carried the rstR(ET), while 6.8% (26/385) with rstR(class), and the remainings contained at least two types of rstR in different combination forms, among which rstR(ET)+rstR(class) combination were the most, accounting for 75.7% (75/99) . Similar to the ctxB, the distribution of rstR genotypes showed time specificity. From 1961 to 1992, strains carrying rstR(ET) predominated (87.0%, 161/185). After 1993, the diversity of rstR genotypes was observed accompanying by a sharp increase of strains containing other rstR genotype, such as rstR(class), rstR(env) and different combinations. There were separately 96% (25/26), 84% (63/75) and 18/18 strains containing rstR(class), rstR(ET)+rstR(class) and rstR(ET)+rstR(class)+rstR(env) isolated after 1993.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The distribution of different genotypes of ctxB and rstR showed obvious time-specificity, and there were various combining forms of rstR, reflecting the diversity of the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of Chinese V.cholerae isolates.</p>

Objective To establish a speed and effective method to detect rotavirus. Methods Using ELISA and one step RT-PCR to detect 196 clinic samples from Xi'an area. Results Compared with ELISA method, one step RT PCR was more sensitive and specific (P ＜0.05). Conclusion One step RT-PCR is a simple, speed, sensitive and spe cific method for clinic and epidemic studies of rotavirus.
