Abstract:
Object: To develop a typing method for Staphylococcal hemolysin genes, and to research on the distribution of hemolysin phenotype and hemolysin genes in Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from milk of cow suffered mastitis and to analysis there relevance. Methods: The hemolysin pheno-type was oberserved with the method of 5% blood plate. Hemolysin genes were assessed via polymerase chain reaction. Results: The typing method for Staphylococccal hemolysin phenotype and genes with PCR was developed. The isolates with α- hemolysis are 56 in 129 isolates, account for 43.4%; 43 show beta-hemolysis, account for 34.11%; Another 29 isolates showed no hemolysis phenotype, and it account for 22.48%. The isolates with hla gene account for 34.88%, hlb gene account for 42.60%.Conclusion: In the hemolytic phenotype, α- hemolysis are more than beta-hemolysis, however the hlb gene detection rate is higher than the hla gene. The distribution of hemolysin phenotype and hemolysin genes is not a corresponding relationship of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from raw milk of cow. The study can provide a basis for prevention and treatment of mastitis in dairy cows caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections, such as pimples, impetigo (may also be caused by Streptococcus pyogenes), cellulitis fol-liculitis, carbuncles, scalded skin syndrome and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome (TSS), bacteremia and sepsis, it can also cause bovine's mastitis. S. aureus have many virulence factors, such as hemolysin toxins, Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), coagulase, DNAse, and many enterotoxins. S. aureus not only threat to dairy cattle health, but also endangere the safty of milk categories of food.
