Serological studies on Vibrio fluvialis.

T Shimada, R Sakazaki

    Japanese Journal of Medical Science & Biology
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study characterized Vibrio fluvialis serology, identifying 18 O-antigenic groups and a common H antigen. Diagnostic antisera require absorption due to shared antigens with Vibrio cholerae.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Immunology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Vibrio fluvialis is an important bacterial species.
    • Understanding its serological diversity is crucial for diagnostics and epidemiology.
    • Previous characterization of Vibrio fluvialis serotypes was limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To serologically classify 138 strains of Vibrio fluvialis.
    • To investigate the antigenic relationships between Vibrio fluvialis and Vibrio cholerae.
    • To provide recommendations for accurate diagnostic serotyping.

    Main Methods:

    • Serological testing of 138 Vibrio fluvialis strains using agglutination assays.
    • Determination of O-antigenic groups and H-antigen characterization.
    • Analysis of cross-reactivity with Vibrio cholerae antisera.

    Main Results:

    • Eighteen distinct O-antigenic groups were identified within the studied Vibrio fluvialis strains.
    • All strains shared identical H antigens, irrespective of their biovar.
    • Mucoid antigen was present in some strains, interfering with O-agglutination.
    • Cross-reactivity was observed between certain Vibrio fluvialis O antigens and those of Vibrio cholerae serovars.
    • V. fluvialis O antisera contained R antibody, necessitating absorption with R organisms for diagnostic use.

    Conclusions:

    • The serological classification of Vibrio fluvialis reveals significant O-antigen diversity but conserved H antigens.
    • Mucoid antigen presence and shared O antigens with Vibrio cholerae complicate serodiagnosis.
    • Absorption of diagnostic O antisera with R organisms is essential for accurate Vibrio fluvialis identification.
