“…As the economic and epidemiological impact of bovine mastitis on cattle breeders is known, research on protective vaccines against the most common pathogenic agents, such as S. aureus is being carried out. Ma et al [ 30 ] performed an investigation on the combined vaccine against S. aureus and S. agalactiae , infections consisting of FnBPA, ClfA (clumping factor A), antigens representative of S. aureus and Sip (Surface immunogenic protein)—and GapC (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase C), specific to S. agalactiae . Chimeric proteins such as FC (FnBPA + ClfA) and FCGS (FnBP + ClfA + GapC + Sip) have been shown to demonstrate an ability to induce antibody production in mice and lead to a significant reduction in bacterial load in their livers and spleens.…”

Bovine mastitis is the most common disease affecting dairy cattle worldwide and it generates substantial losses for cattle breeders. One of the most common pathogens identified in infected milk samples is Staphylococcus aureus. Currently, there is no fast test for recognizing bacteria species on the market. The aim of this study was to bioinformatically and laboratory detect and characterize the fibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) of S. aureus (SA) in milk samples obtained from cows diagnosed with mastitis. More than 90,000,000 amino acid sequences were subjected to bioinformatic detection in the search for a potential biomarker for bovine SA. The analysis of FnBPA included the detection of signal peptides and nonclassical proteins, antigenicity, and the prediction of epitopes. To confirm the presence of the fnbA gene in four SA isolates, amplification with specific primers was performed. FnBPA was detected by immunoblotting. The immunoreactivity and selectivity were performed with monoclonal anti-FnBPA antibodies and SA-negative serum. The bioinformatic analysis showed that FnBPA is a surface, conservative, immunoreactive, and species-specific protein with antigenic potential. Its presence was confirmed in all of the SA isolates we studied. Immunoblotting proved its immunoreactivity and specificity. Thus, it can be considered a potential biomarker in mastitis immunodiagnostics.

Bacterial biofilms are associated with antibiotic resistance and account for approximately 80% of all bacterial infections. In this study, we explored novel nanomaterials for combating bacteria and their biofilms. Artemisinin nano-copper (ANC) was synthesised using a green synthesis strategy, and its shape, size, structure, elemental composition, chemical valence, zeta potential, and conductivity were characterised using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results showed that ANC was successfully synthesised utilizing a liquid-phase chemical reduction method using chitosan as a modified protectant and l-ascorbic acid as a green reducing agent. The stability of ANC was evaluated using DLS. The results showed that the particle size of the ANC at different concentrations was comparable to that of the original solution after 7 days of storage, and there was no significant change in PDI (P > 0.05). The antibacterial effects of ANC on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were determined by Disk diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results demonstrated that ANC inhibited and killed E. coli and S. aureus. The effect of ANC on bacterial biofilms was investigated using Crystal Violet staining, scanning electron microscopy, laser confocal microscope, and quantitative PCR. The results showed that ANC treatment was able to destroy bacterial biofilms and downregulate biofilm- and virulence-related genes in E. coli (HlyA, gyrA, and F17) and S. aureus (cna, PVL, ClfA, and femB). Green-synthesised ANC possesses excellent anti-biofilm properties and is expected to exhibit antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties.

IntroductionMastitis is a widespread mammary gland disease of dairy cows that causes severe economic losses to dairy farms. Mastitis can be caused by bacteria, fungi, and algae. The most common species isolated from infected milk are, among others, Streptococcus spp., and Escherichia coli. The aim of our study was protein detection based on both in silico and in vitro methods, which allowed the identification of immunoreactive proteins representative of the following species: Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Escherichia coli.MethodsThe study group included 22 milk samples and 13 serum samples obtained from cows with diagnosed mastitis, whereas the control group constituted 12 milk samples and 12 serum samples isolated from healthy animals. Detection of immunoreactive proteins was done by immunoblotting, while amino acid sequences from investigated proteins were determined by MALDI-TOF. Then, bioinformatic analyses were performed on detected species specific proteins in order to investigate their immunoreactivity.ResultsAs a result, we identified 13 proteins: 3 (molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis protein B, aldehyde reductase YahK, outer membrane protein A) for E. coli, 4 (elongation factor Tu, tRNA uridine 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl modification enzyme MnmG, GTPase Obg, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) for S. uberis, and 6 (aspartate carbamoyltransferase, elongation factor Tu, 60 kDa chaperonin, elongation factor G, galactose-6-phosphate isomerase subunit LacA, adenosine deaminase) for S. agalactiae, which demonstrated immunoreactivity to antibodies present in serum from cows with diagnosed mastitis.DiscussionDue to the confirmed immunoreactivity, specificity and localization in the bacterial cell, these proteins can be considered considered potential targets in innovative rapid immunodiagnostic assays for bovine mastitis, however due to the limited number of examined samples, further examination is needed.
