Résumé
Nineteen papC-positive cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1)-producing Escherichia coli isolates from pigs with septicemia or diarrhea were tested for the presence of pap-, sfa-, and afa-related sequences encoding P/Prs, S/F1C, and Dr/AFA adhesins respectively. Production of adhesins by isolates was tested by mannose-resistant hemagglutination (MRHA), sialidase treatment of erythrocytes and particle agglutination tests. Production of P, S, and F1C fimbriae by isolates was also examined by immunofluorescence. All isolates were pap+ by PCR. Eighteen isolates (95%) were MRHA for ovine and human A erythrocytes and exhibited GalNac-GalNac receptor specificity associated with class III P(Prs) adhesins. Fifteen (79%) of the 19 isolates reacted with antisera specific for one or more different P fimbrial serotypes on immunofluorescence. Three of these isolates also demonstrated Gal-Gal receptor specificity associated with class I or II P fimbrial adhesins. Fifteen (79%) of the isolates were sfa+ by PCR. Seven of these isolates exhibited sialidase-sensitive MRHA of bovine and human O erythrocytes and reacted with serum specific for S fimbriae on immunofluorescence. Seven of the 8 sfa+ isolates which were MRHA-negative for bovine erythrocytes reacted with serum specific for F1C fimbriae on immunofluorescence. All isolates produced type 1 fimbriae as determined by mannose-sensitive agglutination of yeast cells. None of the isolates were afa+ by PCR or colony hybridization. Results suggest that most pap+ porcine CNF1-producing E. coli isolates express P fimbriae bearing class III (Prs) type adhesins. In addition, most of these isolates also produce S or F1C fimbriae.
