为了探讨猪链球菌2型(Streptococcus suis serotype 2,SS2)的Ⅲ型溶血素是否具有溶血活性以及Ⅲ型溶血素在SS2致病过程中的作用,本研究利用同源重组基因敲除法成功构建了SS205ZY的Ⅲ型溶血素(slyrp)基因缺失突变菌株Δslyrp及双基因缺...为了探讨猪链球菌2型(Streptococcus suis serotype 2,SS2)的Ⅲ型溶血素是否具有溶血活性以及Ⅲ型溶血素在SS2致病过程中的作用,本研究利用同源重组基因敲除法成功构建了SS205ZY的Ⅲ型溶血素(slyrp)基因缺失突变菌株Δslyrp及双基因缺失突变菌株Δsly/Δslyrp,并比较了野生菌株和基因缺失突变菌株的溶血能力以及对小鼠的致病力。结果表明,slyrp基因敲除后可导致SS2裂解红细胞的能力有所下降,而双基因缺失突变菌株Δsly/Δslyrp的溶血能力完全丧失;slyrp基因敲除后对小鼠的致病力没有影响。结果提示猪链球菌2型Ⅲ型溶血素具有一定的溶血能力,该Ⅲ型溶血素在SS2感染过程中,对溶血素(sly)起协同作用,不是SS2主要的毒力相关基因。展开更多
