n this study, 30, 15 and 1 strains of <i>Pasteurella multocida</i> and 9, 8 and 6 strains of <i>Mannheimia haemolytica</i> from cattle, sheep and goats isolated in Elazig province located in the East of Turkey, respectively were typed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay using a random primer (OPA-11). By RAPD assay, two and three distinct band profiles were obtained in the examination of <i>P. multocida</i> isolates from cattle and sheep, respectively. However, <i>M. haemolytica</i> isolates from cattle, sheep and goats showed only one profile and these strains were not discriminated by RAPD. This study showed that little genetic heterogeneity exists among <i>P. multocida</i> and <i>M. haemolytica</i> isolates from lungs of cattle, sheep and goats.

Six field strains of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolated from chickens in Elazig province located in the East of Turkey were typed by serotyping and random amplified polymorphic DNA assay using a random primer (OPG-11). Using the AGP test used for serotyping, serotype A was found to be the predominant serotype, only one strain was serotyped as serotype B. By RAPD assay, the tested ORT strains were found to have different RAPD profiles. In addition, the RAPD assay showed almost similar DNA profiles among the tested strains of the serotypes A, B, D and E. The strain of serotype C did give a different RAPD profile. Within strains of the same serotype (A), different profiles were found but the strain of serotype (B) had an identical profile as strains of serotype A. This study suggests that more genotypes of ORT strains are present within the same serotype and thus that no relationship exists between the RAPD pattern of ORT and their serotype.

Twenty-four genotypes of marula (Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra) were characterized using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. A distinct band pattern was obtained for each of the trees, using as few as four arbitrary 10-mer primers. Trees propagated vegetatively by grafting showed identical fingerprints. These results suggest that RAPD markers provide a useful system for documenting the identity of marula genotypes.

Abstract Background: Pneumonic pasteurellosis is a multi-factorial respiratory disease of cattle and sheep caused by combination of etiologic agents; hence, reliable information is needed on the species or serotypes of bacterial agents for optimum control of the disease. This study was conducted with the objectives of identification of bacterial agents causing pneumonic pasteurellosis in cattle and sheep and identify serotypes of P. multocida involved. Methods: Bacteriological and molecular methods were used on 176 pneumonic lungs (93 cattle and 83 sheep) collected from abattoirs and 604 nasal swabs collected from 302 cattle and 302 sheep presented to Asella, Holota and Sheno veterinary clinics. Results: Twenty-five percent, 26.5% and 23.5% of nasal swabs collected from cattle and sheep from Asella, Holota and Sheno, respectively, were positive to one or more species of Pasteurella, Mannheimia and Bibersteinia. Mannheimia haemolytica was the predominant bacteria isolated at all sites. The isolation of these bacterial species was associated with age and pneumonic status of animals and management system. Young animals were more likely to yield positive results than adults (OR = 1.56; 95 % CI: 1.02, 2.38). Similarly, isolation of the three bacterial species was more frequent in animals with signs of pneumonia than those animals without signs of pneumonia (OR = 4.67; 95 % CI: 3.03, 7.19) and from animals under intensive management system than those animals kept under extensive management system (OR = 2.46; 95 % CI: 1.12, 5.39). Out of the total of 176 pneumonic lungs examined isolation was done from 48 (27.27 %) of them. Mannheimia haemolyitica was the predominant species isolated from pneumonic lungs. The identity of P. multocida and M. haemolytica isolated was further confirmed using PCR. Pasteurella multocida serotypes A1 and A3 and M. haemolytica serotype A1 were the predominant serotypes identified. Conclusion: This study revealed that M. haemolytica, P. multocida and B. trehalosi are commonly circulating in cattle and sheep originated from various parts of the country. It is also interesting that the serotypes of P. multocida and M. haemolytica identified in the present study are those that are already proven to cause pneumonia in ruminants.

A molecular study of Malassezia strains isolated from cattle with or without otitis was carried out by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis (RAPD). DNA was extracted and purified from nine strains of Malassezia sympodialis and fourteen of Malassezia furfur. These microorganisms were collected from eight different bovine herds in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The RAPD analysis and phenograms did not show the formation of genetically distinct groups among the strain isolated from cattle with or without otitis raised in the same herds. Genetic heterogeneity was observed among Malassezia strains from different geographic origins. These data suggest that genetically similar M. sympodialis and M. furfur strains found as members of the normal ear microbiota could become opportunistically active in the inflammatory process in cattle.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) causes high morbidity and mortality in beef cattle worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring of BRD pathogens is critical to promote appropriate antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary medicine for optimal treatment and control. Here, the susceptibility of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multicoda isolates obtained from BRD clinical cases (deep lung swabs at post-mortem) among feedlots in four Australian states (2014–2019) was determined for 19 antimicrobial agents. The M. haemolytica isolates were pan-susceptible to all tested agents apart from a single macrolide-resistant isolate (1/88; 1.1%) from New South Wales (NSW). Much higher frequencies of P. multocida isolates were resistant to tetracycline (18/140; 12.9%), tilmicosin (19/140; 13.6%), tulathromycin/gamithromycin (17/140; 12.1%), and ampicillin/penicillin (6/140; 4.6%). Five P. multocida isolates (3.6%), all obtained from NSW in 2019, exhibited dual resistance to macrolides and tetracycline, and a further two Queensland isolates from 2019 (1.4%) exhibited a multidrug-resistant phenotype to ampicillin/penicillin, tetracycline, and tilmicosin. Random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) typing identified a high degree of genetic homogeneity among the M. haemolytica isolates, whereas P. multocida isolates were more heterogeneous. Illumina whole genome sequencing identified the genes msr(E) and mph(E)encoding macrolide resistance, tet(R)-tet(H) or tet(Y) encoding tetracycline resistance, and blaROB-1 encoding ampicillin/penicillin resistance in all isolates exhibiting a corresponding resistant phenotype. The exception was the tilmicosin-resistant, tulathromycin/gamithromycin-susceptible phenotype identified in two Queensland isolates, the genetic basis of which could not be determined. These results confirm the first emergence of AMR in M. haemolytica and P. multocida from BRD cases in Australia, which should be closely monitored.

Respiratory infections of sheep and goats cause heavy morbidity and mortality, leading to huge economic losses. Conventional methods of diagnosis that include isolation and identification of incriminating microbes are time-consuming and fraught with logistic challenges. Direct detection of incriminating microbes using molecular tools is gaining popularity in clinical, microbiological settings. In this study, a total of 50 samples (44 nasal swabs and 6 lung tissues) from sheep and goats were screened for the detection of different bacterial species by in vitro amplification of genus or species-specific genes. Histophilus somni was detected in 2% goat samples, Trueperella pyogenes in 20% goat nasal swabs, whereas 22% goat nasal swab samples were found positive for Mycoplasma spp. None of the samples from sheep was detected positive for H. somni, T. pyogenes, Mycoplasma spp. Similarly, all samples, irrespective, whether from sheep or goats, showed negative results for Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.

In this study we identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and sequence characteristic amplification region (SCAR) markers for specific identification of antler-shaped Ganoderma lucidum strains. When the partial mitochondrial SSU rDNA gene sequence of various antler- and kidney-shaped G. lucidum strains were analyzed and aligned, an SNP was found only in the antler-shaped G. lucidum strain at position 456 bp. In addition, this SNP of antler-shaped strains was digested by HinfI restriction enzyme. We further analyzed the polymorphism of various G. lucidum strains by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. In RAPD analysis, we isolated and sequenced a fragment, specific for antler-shaped G. lucidum strains. Based on this specific fragment sequence, two sets of specific primer pairs for antler-shaped G. lucidum strains were designed. PCR analysis revealed that two specific bands were observed only from antler-shaped strains. These two molecular markers will be helpful for identification of morphological characteristics of G. lucidum.
