摘要

The oral bacterium Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is implicated as a causative agent of localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP). A. actinomycetemcomitans is classified into five serotypes (a to e) corresponding to five structurally and antigenically distinct O polysaccharide (O-PS) components of their respective lipopolysaccharide molecules. Serotype b has been reported to be the dominant serotype isolated from LJP patients. We determined the lipopolysaccharide O-PS structure from A. actinomycetemcomitans CU1000, a strain isolated from a 13-year-old African-American female with LJP which had previously been classified as serotype b. The O-PS of strain CU1000 consisted of a trisaccharide repeating unit composed ofl-rhamnose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-galactose (molar ratio, 2:1) with the structure →2)-α-l-Rhap-(1–3)-2-O-(β-d-GalpNAc)-α-l-Rhap-(1→. O-PS from strain CU1000 was structurally and antigenically distinct from the O-PS molecules of the five known A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes. Strain CU1000 was mutagenized with transposon IS903φkan, and three mutants that were deficient in O-PS synthesis were isolated. All three transposon insertions mapped to a single 1-kb region on the chromosome. The DNA sequence of a 13.1-kb region surrounding these transposon insertions contained a cluster of 14 open reading frames that was homologous to gene clusters responsible for the synthesis of A. actinomycetemcomitans serotype b, c, and e O-PS antigens. The CU1000 gene cluster contained two genes that were not present in serotype-specific O-PS antigen clusters of the other five knownA. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes. These data indicate that strain CU1000 should be assigned to a new A. actinomycetemcomitans serotype, designated serotype f. A PCR assay using serotype-specific PCR primers showed that 3 out of 20 LJP patients surveyed (15%) harbored A. actinomycetemcomitans strains carrying the serotype f gene cluster. The finding of an A. actinomycetemcomitansserotype showing serological cross-reactivity with anti-serotype b-specific antiserum suggests that a reevaluation of strains previously classified as serotype b may be warranted.

CU1000菌株的O-PS在结构和抗原上不同于五种已知的 A。放线菌科血清型的O-PS分子。CU1000菌株经转座子IS诱变分离出 903 φ kan 和三个O-PS合成缺陷的突变体,所有三个转座子插入均定位在染色体的单个1-kb区域。这些转座子插入周围的13.1kb区域的序列包含14个开放阅读框簇,这些阅读框与负责合成 A。放线菌血清型b,c和e O-PS的基因簇同源CU1000基因簇包含两个血清型特异性O-PS抗原c中不存在的基因其他五个已知的 A的光泽。放线菌的血清型。这些数据表明应将菌株CU1000分配给新的 A。放线菌的血清型,称为血清型f。使用血清型特异性PCR引物进行的PCR分析表明,在接受调查的20名LJP患者中,有3名(15%)患有 A。携带血清型f基因簇的放线放线杆菌菌株。 A的发现。放线菌的血清型与抗血清型b的抗血清具有血清学交叉反应性,这表明应该重新评估先前归类为血清型b的菌株。
