| characterization of a novel and genetically different small infective variant of piscirickettsia salmonis. | we report a novel genetically different small infective variant of the fish pathogen piscirickettsia salmonis (sp.s). sp.s variants were recovered both from ageing post-infected chse-214 culture cells as well as from naturally infected fish. the its region of sp.s variants, although sharing a common core sequence, is different from the its of the prototype strain lf-89 from which they originate. thus, sp.s can be selectively amplified with sequence-specific discriminatory set of pcr primers. tra ... | 2008 | 18166333 |
| structural features of lipid a of piscirickettsia salmonis, the etiological agent of the salmonid rickettsial septicemia. | the composition and structure of lipid a isolated from the lipopolysaccharide (lps) of piscirickettsia salmonis were investigated by chemical analyses, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gcms), and electrospray ionization (esi) combined with the tandem mass spectrometry (ms/ms). our study revealed moderate compositional and structural heterogeneity of lipid a with respect to the content of phosphate groups and 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinopyranose (ara4n) residues and with regard to the degree of ... | 2007 | 18197732 |
| culture of piscirickettsia salmonis on enriched blood agar. | piscirickettsia salmonis is the etiologic agent of piscirickettsiosis, an economically significant disease of fish. isolation of p. salmonis by culturing on fish cell lines has been the standard technique since the initial isolation of the organism. the ability to grow p. salmonis on artificial media would relieve facilities of the cost of maintaining cell lines, permit isolation at fish culture sites with fewer contamination problems, and allow easier transport of isolates to diagnostic facilit ... | 2008 | 18319435 |
| real time pcr detection of piscirickettsia salmonis from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. | piscirickettsia salmonis is the causative agent of piscirickettsiosis, a transmissible disease of salmonid fish. diagnosis of piscirickettsiosis has traditionally been based upon identification of typical pathological changes by histological investigation, with confirmation by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. however, implementation of more rapid confirmatory techniques, preferably with higher levels of sensitivity and possibilities for quantification, is desira ... | 2008 | 18681901 |
| survival and replication of piscirickettsia salmonis in rainbow trout head kidney macrophages. | piscirickettsia salmonis is pathogenic for a variety of cultured marine fish species worldwide. the organism has been observed within host macrophages in natural disease outbreaks among coho salmon and european sea bass. in vitro studies, incorporating transmission electron microscopy (tem) and ferritin loading of lysosomes, have confirmed that p. salmonis is capable of surviving and replicating in rainbow trout macrophages. certain features of this intracellular survival underline its differenc ... | 2008 | 18691656 |
| productive infection of piscirickettsia salmonis in macrophages and monocyte-like cells from rainbow trout, a possible survival strategy. | piscirickettsia salmonis is the etiologic agent of the salmonid rickettsial septicemia (srs), an endemic disease which causes significant losses in salmon production. this intracellular bacterium is normally cultured in salmonid epithelial cell lines inducing characteristic cytopathic effects (cpes). in this study we demonstrate that p. salmonis is able to infect, survive, replicate, and propagate in the macrophages/monocytes cell line rts11 derived from rainbow trout spleen, without inducing th ... | 2009 | 19681041 |
| determination of minimal concentration of piscirickettsia salmonis in water columns to establish a fallowing period in salmon farms. | abstract a highly sensitive real-time pcr procedure to detect and quantify the number of pisciricketsia salmonis units in seawater samples from affected farm sites has been developed. the purpose was to determine a fallowing period that would allow safe restocking of the target farm with new fish. bacterial load was determined in water samples by comparing the obtained amplification values against a standard curve generated by the amplification of known concentrations of the its-ribosomal compon ... | 2010 | 20088869 |

| piscirickettsia salmonis induces apoptosis in macrophages and monocyte-like cells from rainbow trout. | piscirickettsia salmonis is the etiologic agent of the salmonid rickettsial septicemia (srs) which causes significant losses in salmon production in chile and other and in other regions in the southern hemisphere. as the killing of phagocytes is an important pathogenic mechanism for other bacteria to establish infections in vertebrates, we investigated whether p. salmonis kills trout macrophages by apoptosis. apoptosis in infected macrophages was demonstrated by techniques based on morphological ... | 2010 | 20432244 |
| lipopolysaccharide primes the respiratory burst of atlantic salmon shk-1 cells through protein kinase c-mediated phosphorylation of p47phox. | the superoxide-producing nadph oxidase complex of phagocytes plays a crucial role in host defenses against microbial infection. nadph oxidase consists of a membrane heterodimeric protein, composed of gp91phox and p22phox, and the cytosolic proteins, p40phox, p47phox and p67phox. in the present study, we clone and sequence the full-length cdnas coding for the atlantic salmon (salmo salar) phagocyte nadph oxidase components, p47phox, p67phox and gp91phox, using a homology cloning approach. the seq ... | 2010 | 20621116 |
| association of red-mark syndrome with a rickettsia-like organism and its connection with strawberry disease in the usa. | red-mark syndrome (rms), a disease seen mostly in rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss, is of unknown aetiology. the research presented here indicates the presence of an intracellular bacterium in rms-affected fish. a positive reaction was observed using immunohistochemistry (ihc) with skin lesions, liver, kidney and spleen of affected fish sampled from several locations within the united kingdom using two different polyclonal antisera raised against piscirickettsia salmonis. the same reaction was ... | 2010 | 20854353 |
| ispsa2, the first mobile genetic element to be described and characterized in the bacterial facultative intracellular pathogen piscirickettsia salmonis. | piscirickettsia salmonis is a novel, aggressive, facultative gram-negative bacterium that drastically affects salmon production at different latitudes, with particular impact in southern chile. initially, p. salmonis was described as a rickettsia-like, obligate, intracellular alphaproteobacteria, but it was reclassified recently as a facultative intracellular gammaproteobacteria. this designation has prompted the independent growth of the bacterium to a pure state for detailed study of its biolo ... | 2010 | 21073510 |
| oral vaccination of atlantic salmon (salmo salar) against salmonid rickettsial septicaemia. | effective oral immunization systems may be very helpful to the salmon industry, particularly during the seawater growth stages in which vaccination through injection is not possible. during the seawater growing stage, fish become more susceptible to several types of disease, due to the natural decay of vaccine-induced immune responses. in this study, we demonstrate the immune response and efficacy of a new salmonid rickettsial septicaemia (srs) oral vaccine, developed using micromatrix™ technolo ... | 2011 | 21219985 |
| characterization of a functional toxin-antitoxin module in the genome of the fish pathogen piscirickettsia salmonis. | this is the first report of a functional toxin-antitoxin (ta) locus in piscirickettsia salmonis. the p. salmonis ta operon (ps-tox-antox) is an autonomous genetic unit containing two genes, a regulatory promoter site and an overlapping putative operator region. the orfs consist of a toxic ps-tox gene (p. salmonis toxin) and its upstream partner ps-antox (p. salmonis antitoxin). the regulatory promoter site contains two inverted repeat motifs between the -10 and -35 regions, which may represent a ... | 2011 | 21241361 |
| a natural peptide and its variants derived from the processing of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) displaying enhanced antimicrobial activity: a novel alternative for the control of bacterial diseases. | the larger segment of the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) codifies most of the structural and non-structural proteins of the virus in two overlapping open reading frames (orfs). the longer of the two orf is expressed as a polyprotein which generates a number of variable length peptides of unknown function during processing. since an appealing hypothesis would be that these peptides are generated by the virus to act as antimicrobial agents that favor viral infectivity in their fish ho ... | 2011 | 21291934 |
| Multiple tissue transcriptomic responses to Piscirickettsia salmonis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). | The bacterium Piscirickettsia salmonis is the etiological agent of salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS), a severe disease that causes major economic losses to the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry every year. Little is known about the infective strategy of P. salmonis, which is able to infect, survive within, and replicate inside salmonid macrophages as an intracellular parasite. Similarly there is little knowledge concerning the fish host's response to invasion by this pathogen. We have exa ... | 2011 | 21878610 |
