“…Pasteurellosis or photobacteriosis is a type of bacterial septicemia in marine fish caused by Photobacterium damselae (Naseri et al, 2014). P. damselae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for causing disease in a wide variety of natural hosts (Austin & Austin, 1993) including neritic sharks (Grimes et al, 1984), dolphins (Fujioka, Greco, Cates, & Schroeder, 1988), and shrimps, as well as wild and cultivated fish (Romalde, 2002) and humans (Morris et al, 1982). The phenotypic characters of the strain appear very diversely with P. damselae subsp.…”

The present study was aimed at determining the effects of medicinal herbs adjuvants on growth, hematoebiochemical parameters, some non-specific immunity and disease resistance to Photobacterium damselae in Sobaity sea bream (Sparidentex hasta). The fish (mean body weight 3.08±0.31 g) were fed fishmeal diets supplemented with either 1% of Garlic (Allium sativum), 1% supplemented of Ginger (Zingiber officinale), 1% supplemented of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), a mixture of these herbs (1% Garlic + 1% Ginger + 1% thyme), and control diet without medicinal herbs, for 8 weeks. The highest weight gains (WG %) and the specific growth rate (SGR) were in fish that fed diets with the mixture of three medicinal herbs (P<0.05). The number of WBC and RBC showed a significant increase in ginger and the mixture of three medicinal herbs compared to the control (P<0.05). The highest total protein and the lowest cholesterol levels were observed in treated groups with ginger diet (P<0.05). The highest albumin and the lowest triglyceride levels were achieved in mixture of these three herbsgroup. The analysis of AST and ALT were significantly decreased in the mixture of these three herbs and ginger groups (P<0.05). The lowest ALP level were showed in mixture of these three herbs group. Furthermore, serum lysozyme activity, total immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement activity (ACH50) were significantly increased in the mixture of three medicinal herbs fed fish and ginger groups (P<0.05). After feeding experiment, fish were infected with Photobacterium damselae strain FN1 and mortalities were recorded. The results of this study demonstrated that dietary mixture of three medicinal herbs and ginger groups could be an improvement in the growth and some non-specific immunity of Sobaity sea bream fry.

Vibrio hollisae is a halophilic species that was recently reclassified as Grimontia hollisae. This organism is known to cause moderate to severe cases of gastroenteritis. We report a case of an individual who suffered a more severe form of this disease, presenting with profound hypotension and acute renal failure, secondary to hypovolemic shock. CASE REPORTA previously healthy, 43-year-old, Vietnamese male presented to the emergency room with several days of persistent severe diarrhea associated with nausea, vomiting, and diffuse, cramping abdominal pain. He denied recent travel, contacts with sick people, or ingestion of raw food. Although initially denying recent consumption of seafood, he later recalled consumption of shellfish. On physical exam, his blood pressure was 60/48 mm Hg, heart rate 120 beats/min, and temperature 98.1°F. He looked acutely ill and was dehydrated. His abdomen had diffuse tenderness to palpation without rebound or guarding, and his stools were positive for occult blood. The remainder of his physical exam was unremarkable. Laboratory results included a leukocyte count of 15,510/mm 3 with 67% polymorphonucleocytes and 17% bands. Blood chemistry results were consistent with acute renal failure and anion gap metabolic acidosis. Two blood cultures, a stool culture, an exam for ova and parasites, a Clostridium difficile toxin assay, and a fecal leukocyte exam were ordered. A computerized axial tomography scan of the abdomen revealed diffusely dilated and edematous small bowel wall. The patient was admitted to the hospital, treated initially with intravenous fluids, and prescribed ciprofloxacin (800 mg/day) and metronidazole (1.5 g/day). He improved significantly, his renal failure resolved, and his vomiting and diarrhea stopped. He was discharged 2 days later on oral antibiotics.Stool test results were positive for fecal leukocytes and negative for ova and parasites and C. difficile toxin A/B. A routine stool culture was negative for Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter spp. However, moderate growth of non-lactose-fermenting gram-negative bacilli on MacConkey agar plates and moderate growth of beta-hemolytic, oxidase-positive gray colonies on sheep blood agar plates were noted after overnight incubation. Poor growth of these colonies was noted upon subsequent subculture to thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (TCBS) agar. An identification of Vibrio hollisae was obtained with a Vitek 2 GNI card (bioMerieux, Inc., Durham, NC) and the BBL Crystal E/NF ID kit (Becton Dickinson Microbiology, Cockeysville, MD). This identification was confirmed by Sharon Abbott, Microbial Disease Laboratory, Division of Communicable Disease Control, California Department of Public Health, Richmond, CA.Susceptibility testing was performed as described for Vibrio species (3) using a MicroScan (Dade Behring, West Sacramento, CA) negative type 30 MIC panel. The MIC test was initially performed using inoculum water with Pleuronic as specified in the Microscan product insert. When the isolate failed to grow, 0.9% ...

“…P. damselae subsp. damselae (formerly Vibrio damsela) has been reported to cause wound infections and fatal disease in a variety of marine animals and humans (Morris et al 1982, Clarridge & Zighelboim-Daum 1985, Buck et al 1991. These 2 subspecies are readily differentiated by phenotypic traits, including optimal growth conditions of temperature and salinity, motility, gas production from glucose and host range, as well as a number of enzymatic properties such as nitrate reductase, urease, lipase, amylase and hemolysis.…”

The 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene has been sequenced in strains of the fish pathogens Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (ATCC 33539) and subsp. piscicida (ATCC 29690), showing that 3 nucleotide positions are clearly different between subspecies. In addition, the 5S rRNA gene plus the intergenic spacer region between the 23S and 5S rRNA genes (ITS-2) were amplified, cloned and sequenced for the 2 reference strains as well as the field isolates RG91 (subsp. damselae) and DI21 (subsp. piscicida). A 100% similarity was found for the consensus 5S rRNA gene sequence in the 2 subspecies, although some microheterogeneity was detected as inter-cistronic variability within the same chromosome. Sequence analysis of the spacer region between the 23S and 5S rRNA genes revealed 2 conserved and 3 variable nucleotide sequence blocks, and 4 different modular organizations were found. The ITS-2 spacer region exhibited both inter-subspecies and intercistronic polymorphism, with a mosaic-like structure. The EMBL accession numbers for the 23S, 5S and ITS-2 sequences are: P. damselae subsp. piscicida 5S gene (AJ274379), P. damselae subsp. damselae 23S gene (Y18520), subsp. piscicida 23S gene (Y17901), P. damselae subsp. piscicida ITS-2 (AJ250695, AJ250696), P. damselae subsp. damselae ITS-2 (AJ250697, AJ250698). KEY WORDS: 23S · 5S · ITS-2 · Photobacterium damselae · Intergenic spacers Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisherDis Aquat Org 61: [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] 2004 possess identical 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences (Osorio et al. 1999). This similarity at the 16S rRNA gene level has precluded the design of subspecies-specific PCR-based probes for the detection of each subspecies in natural samples. Thus, additional phylogenetic information from these 2 subspecies is desirable in order to unravel their phylogenetic affinity, as well as to provide alternative DNA targets for molecular typing.Sequence analysis of the rRNA operon (rrn) has proved to be a valuable taxonomic tool for bacterial classification and for phylogeny construction (Woese 1987). 16S rRNA gene sequencing has been extensively employed for taxonomic purposes at the species level or above, and 23S and 5S rRNA gene sequencing used to a much lesser extent. rRNA gene sequences are relatively highly conserved at the species and subspecies levels. However, the intergenic transcribed spacer regions (ITS), located between the 16S and 23S (ITS-1) and 23S and 5S (ITS-2) ribosomal genes, are thought to be under less evolutionary pressure and, therefore, may provide greater genetic variation than rRNA genes. The number of rrn operons in bacteria varies from 1 to 15, and thus genetic variations in ITS regions are not only inter-strain, but also intercistronic. These characteristics make ITS regions a potentially valuable tool for taxonomic and typing purposes, and their use as such has received increased attention in recent years (Barry et al. 1991, Gürtler & Stanisich 1996. The aim of the present study was...
