Among them, 195 were serotyped as 078, 088, and 093. Thirteen virulence-associated genes, including fimC, iucD, iss, tsh, fyuA, irp2, eaeA, hlyE, colV, papC, stx2f, vat, and astA, were submitted to PCR amplification. The fimC gene was the most prevalent with a detection rate of 93.6%, followed by iucD (70.8%), iss (58.8%), and tsh (51.4%) in APEC isolates. The detection rate of high pathogenicity islands (HPI)-associatedfyuA and irp2 genes were both 44.9%, with no LEE (the locus of enterocyte effacement) island-associated gene eaeA detected. In terms of distribution patterns of the 13 virulence-associated genes, 5 isolates harborbed 10 genes, 19 isolates contained onlyfimC gene, and only 4 isolates had no virulence-associated gene detected.

文摘目的了解国内市售婴儿配方乳粉中蜡样芽胞杆菌污染及毒力基因分布情况。方法采用MPN法定量检测婴儿配方乳粉中的蜡样芽胞杆菌,在对分离菌株正确鉴定的基础上,开展腹泻型和呕吐型毒素产生相关毒力基因的分布研究。结果 135份婴儿配方乳粉中有57份检出蜡样芽胞杆菌,检出率为42.22%。平均污染水平为7.14 MPN/g。国产产品蜡样芽胞杆菌污染较进口产品重,网售产品较超市销售产品重,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。共发现24种蜡样芽胞杆菌毒力基因携带模式,其中nhe基因携带率最高,达92.98%(53/57),其次为ent FM基因(71.93%),70.18%(40/57)的菌株同时携带nhe和ent FM基因。亚型分型结果显示nhe A、nhe B和nhe C基因的携带率分别为88.72%、88.72%和49.12%。溶血素BL基因携带率分别为hbl A 24.56%、hbl C 22.81%和hbl D 17.54%,cyt K基因携带率为22.81%。有8株菌既携带nhe的3个基因又携带hbl的3个基因。结论我国市售婴儿配方乳粉蜡样芽胞杆菌污染较重,分离到的蜡样芽胞杆菌菌株普遍携带毒力基因,建议加强对婴儿配方乳粉中蜡样芽胞杆菌污染的监管,并开展膳食暴露该菌对婴儿健康影响的风险评估,为制定婴儿配方乳粉中蜡样芽胞杆菌的限量标准提供依据。
