Abstract

Objective: In addition to Streptococcus suis serotype 2, Streptococcus suis serotype 9 (SS9) is also a currently prevalent serotype and a zoonotic pathogen. In our previous study, SS9 DNA nuclease (SsnA) was considered as a candidate virulence factor. To clarify the impact of SsnA on SS9 virulence, we constructed ssnA mutant (ΔssnA) and studied its biological functions.

Methods: We evaluated the virulence of wild type strain and ΔssnA in a zebrafish infection model and compared the adherence rate to HEp-2 cells, the survival rate in pig blood, and enzymatic activity between wild type stain and ΔssnA.

Results: In a zebrafish infection experiment, the 50% lethal dose value of ΔssnA was 11.2-fold higher than that of wild type strain. The adherence rate of ΔssnA to HEp-2 cells was only 60.61% of the wild strain level. The survival rate of ΔssnA in pig blood was declined to 71.88% of wild strain level. The enzymatic activity assay showed that SsnA can degrade both linear and circular DNA.

Conclusion: SsnA contributes to SS9 virulence in a zebrafish infection model, the adherence to HEp-2 cells, and the survival in pig blood. SsnA is indeed an essential virulence factor for SS9.

[DNA核酸酶与猪链球菌血清9型毒力的关系]。

目的:除了猪链球菌血清2型外，猪链球菌血清9型(SS9)也是目前流行的一种血清型和人畜共患病原体。在我们之前的研究中，SS9 DNA核酸酶(SsnA)被认为是一个候选毒力因子。为了明确SsnA对SS9毒力的影响，我们构建了SsnA突变体(ΔssnA)并研究了其生物学功能。方法:在斑马鱼感染模型中评估野生型菌株和ΔssnA的毒力，比较野生型菌株和ΔssnA对HEp-2细胞的粘附率、猪血存活率和酶活性。结果:在斑马鱼感染实验中，ΔssnA 50%致死剂量值比野生型菌株高11.2倍。ΔssnA对HEp-2细胞的粘附率仅为野生菌株的60.61%。ΔssnA在猪血中的存活率降至野生株水平的71.88%。酶活性测定表明，SsnA既能降解线性DNA，也能降解环状DNA。结论:SsnA参与了斑马鱼感染模型中SS9的毒力、对HEp-2细胞的粘附以及猪血中SS9的存活。SsnA确实是SS9的重要毒力因子。
