    <p>The committee for the National Institute of Health Sciences Japan—The Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods (NIHSJ-MMEF). aims to develop domestic standard methodologies for food microbiological testing that conforms with internationally recognized standards. In this study, we developed a new qualitative detection method for <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> (NIHSJ-20TS) based on ISO/TS 17919: 2013 and validated its performance through interlaboratory study. To facilitate interlaboratory studies under stringent legal regulations, a detailed protocol for inoculum preparation was provided instead of distributing inoculated samples. In addition, we evaluated commercial DNA extraction kits as a simpler alternative to the conventional Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method. The collaborative study plan was optimized as a minimal yet effective plan to verify the reproducibility and applicability of the method. After completing the validation study, the level of detection 50% (LOD<sub>50</sub>), a proposed reference value for implementation verification described in ISO 16104-3:2021, was evaluated. We believe that NIHSJ-20TS may facilitate the international acceptance of microbiological testing results generated in Japan.</p>

    Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) can cause watery diarrhea not only in humans but also in domestic animals, for example, causing post-weaning diarrhea in piglets. Because the major causative factors of ETEC are heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) and heat-stable enterotoxin (ST), rapid detection methods are required for these toxins. We previously reported a prototype immunochromatographic (IC) test strip for LT comprising a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) and rabbit polyclonal antibody. However, the toxin detection limit of this test strip was insufficient, and the test sample bacteria needed to be cultured overnight with lincomycin supplementation to enhance LT production. Moreover, no IC test strips were available for ST. Therefore, we attempted to create a chimera protein of the B subunit of LT (LTB) and ST and develop mAbs against both LTB and ST through immunization of mice. Although nine antigen-specific mAb clones were obtained, all were LTB-specific. IC test strips prepared with the mAb 31D11 and mAb 34D4 pair were able to detect 0.15 ng/150 μL of purified LT. In addition, this IC test strip was able to detect LT in 6-h culture supernatants of clinical isolates from swine and human without requiring lincomycin supplementation. Quantification of LT levels using sandwich ELISA corroborated the IC results, indicating that the improved IC test strip enabled the detection of LT at lower concentrations and with shorter culture times than the previous method, without the need for supplements. This test strip will be useful for ETEC detection in the food hygiene and livestock hygiene fields.

    Abstract

    Botulinum toxins (BoNTs) are the most potent known bacterial toxins. The BoNT complex from Clostridium botulinum B-Okra (large progenitor toxin complex (L-PTC)/B<sup>Okra</sup>, hyper-oral-toxic) exerts at least 80-fold higher oral toxicity<sup>1</sup> in mice compared with that from serotype A1 (L-PTC/A<sup>62A</sup>, non-hyper-oral-toxic). Here, we showed that L-PTC/B<sup>Okra</sup> was predominantly absorbed through enterocytes, whereas L-PTC/A<sup>62A</sup> targeted intestinal microfold cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that α1,2-fucosylation of intestinal mucin determined the oral toxicity of L-PTCs as well as their entry routes; more specifically, these routes were governed by the carbohydrate-binding spectrum of hemagglutinin (HA) complex, which is one of the L-PTC components. Disruption of fucosylation in fucosyltrasferase-2 (Fut2)-null mice hindered the intestinal mucin penetration of L-PTC/B<sup>Okra</sup> via HA and reduced the susceptibility to its oral intoxication. Our data establish the molecular mechanism by which the oral toxicity of BoNTs is increased after they cross intestinal mucus layers.

    <p>α-Hemolysin (α-Hly) is produced by pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> and is implicated in a variety of diseases. In the swine, enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i> (ETEC) and Shiga toxin-producing <i>E. coli</i> (STEC) strains cause post-weaning diarrhea and edema disease, respectively, and most of these strains are hemolytic. However, the role of α-Hly in ETEC and STEC infection is unclear. Here, we prepared α-Hly-specific monoclonal antibodies by immunizing animals with one-third of the carboxy end of recombinant α-Hly. The four α-Hly-specific antibodies obtained reacted with α-Hly in the culture supernatant of clinical isolates in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot analysis. In addition, because these four monoclonal antibodies inhibited <i>E. coli</i>-induced hemolysis, these antibodies might be useful tools for investigating the significance of α-Hly in pathogenic strains.</p>

    Clostridium argentinense produces botulinum neurotoxin type G (BoNT/G). We sequenced and analyzed the plasmid harboring the bont/G gene, designated pCAG, in C. argentinense strain 2740. The pCAG consisted of 140,070 bp containing the bont/G gene cluster. Although this gene cluster showed high similarities in its DNA sequence and ORF arrangement to those of other bont gene clusters, the other regions of the plasmid did not. A phylogenetic study suggested that pCAG had a unique evolutionary history compared with other clostridial bont-harboring plasmids. This suggests that pCAG is possibly a novel type of plasmid expressing the bont/G gene in C. argentinense.

    Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the most potent natural toxin known. Of the seven BoNT serotypes (A to G), types A, B, E, and F cause human botulism. Treatment of human botulism requires the development of effective toxin-neutralizing antibodies without side effects such as serum sickness and anaphylaxis. In this study, we generated fully human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs) against serotype B BoNT (BoNT/B1) using a murine-human chimera fusion partner cell line named SPYMEG. Of these HuMAbs, M2, which specifically binds to the light chain of BoNT/B1, showed neutralization activity in a mouse bioassay (approximately 10 i.p. LD50/100 µg of antibody), and M4, which binds to the C-terminal of heavy chain, showed partial protection. The combination of two HuMAbs, M2 (1.25 µg) and M4 (1.25 µg), was able to completely neutralize BoNT/B1 (80 i.p. LD50) with a potency greater than 80 i.p. LD50/2.5 µg of antibodies, and was effective both prophylactically and therapeutically in the mouse model of botulism. Moreover, this combination showed broad neutralization activity against three type B subtypes, namely BoNT/B1, BoNT/B2, and BoNT/B6. These data demonstrate that the combination of M2 and M4 is promising in terms of a foundation for new human therapeutics for BoNT/B intoxication.

    ボツリヌス症は、ボツリヌス菌が産生するボツリヌス神経毒素によって起こる弛緩性麻痺疾患である。ボツリヌス菌は偏性嫌気性グラム陽性の有芽細胞菌であり、生化学的性状によりI-IV群に分類されるほか、産生する神経毒素の抗原性によってA~Gの7型に分けられる。家畜・家禽のボツリヌス症はIII群ボツリヌス菌に属するCおよびD型菌によって起こり、牛のボツリヌス症の原因は主にD型菌であることが多い。牛ボツリヌス症の発生は国内外で報告され、特に国内においては、散発的な発生が毎年報告されており、畜産業界に少なからぬ被害を与えている一方、国内における正確な発生件数、発生頭数は不明でありその現況は広く知られていない。本稿では牛におけるボツリヌス症の概要について、特に感染経路を含めた発症機序、主要病原因子であるD/Cモザイク毒素の特性、検査方法を中心に報告する。さらに、現在NCBIのデータベースで公開されている海外株のゲノム配列に、我々が取得した未公開の国内株のゲノム配列を加えた、合計73株の牛ボツリヌス症由来菌の全ゲノム系統遺伝学的解析結果を示し、本症の原因菌の遺伝的な特性について考察する。今後の本症への対策において、汎用的かつ効率的な検査法の確立は特に重要な課題のひとつであり、従来の毒素検出法に加えて、毒素産生菌の性状に着目した新たな選択的分離法の開発が必要であると考えられる。(著者抄録)
