Abstract:

Objective To construct three strains of anti-phage Salmonella Paratyphi A mutants by homologous recombination and knocking out genes in wild Salmonella Paratyphi A, and to analyze their biological characteristics.Methods The No.2,3,5 homology arm fragments obtained by PCR and fusion PCR were connected with pYG4 vector after digestion to construct the pYG4-2,pYG4-3,and pYG4-5 homologous recombination plasmids. Three strains of anti-phage mutants (No.2,3,5) were obtained after the plasmids were identificated by PCR sequencing and recombinated with wild Salmonella Paratyphi A. After the three mutant strains and wild Salmonella Paratyphi A were treated with different kinds and concentrations of antibiotics,different pH values and temperature and different concentrations of salt ions,respectively;the A595 values were measured,and their sensitivities to the antibiotics,temperature,pH values and salt ions and the growth curves were analyzed.Results The results of PCR and fusion PCR amplification suggested that three homology arms were obtained. The PCR sequencing showed that the homologous recombinant plasmids pYG4-2,pYG4-3,and pYG4-5 were constructed successfully.The homologous recombination and anti-phage verification implied that three strains of anti-phage mutants were successfully gained. Three strains of anti-phage mutants gained kanamycin resistance and showed highly sensitivity to streptomycin;the No.2 mutant strain showed ampicillin resistance and the No.5 mutant strain performanced a high temperature tolerance. In addition,the growth curves of three mutants became obviously placid than that of wild Salmonella Paratyphi A,especially in the No.2 mutant.Conclusion The anti-phage mutants are successfully constructed and get some specially biological chatacteristics.
