“…The differentiation of S. hyicus and S. chromogenes species has been based on extensive phenotypic character analyses and DNA-DNA hybridization studies [10,15]. In this study, the PFGE analysis of S. hyicus and S. chromogenes DNA showed distinct species SmaI digest fragment patterns.…”

“…Hunter et al [17] and Amtsberg et al [2] reported that there are pathogenic and non-pathogenic porcine strains of S. hyicus and that these strains can be distinguished by an agglutination test using absorbed antisera. On the other hand, Devriese et al [10] and Takeuchi et al [37] reported that isolates from diseased and healthy pigs resembled each other in most of their biochemical properties. Takeuchi et al [38] also examined the extracellular proteases of S. hyicus with a zymogram method and could not differentiate between isolates from diseased and healthy pigs.…”

“…One purpose of the present study was to determine whether PFGE analysis could be utilized for the differentiation of pig, cow and chicken strains. There are no remarkable differences in biological characteristics among strains of S. hyicus isolated from pigs, cows and chickens [37,39], though compared to cow and chicken strains the frequency of fibrinolysin-positive strains is very high in pig strains [10]. Shimizu et al [32] using phage typing of S. hyicus reported that all of the chicken strains and most of the bovine strains were susceptible to the phage CH11 (from a lysogenic strain of S. hyicus of chicken origin), while most of the pig strains were resistant to the phage.…”

“…This organism has also been occasionally isolated from cows with mastitis [4,19,25], horses with dermatitis [9], and chickens with exudative dermatitis [26] or tenosynovitis [21]. The coagulasenegative species S. chromogenes [15], originally described by Devriese et al [10] as S. hyicus subsp. chromogenes, is also commonly isolated from the udders and milk of cows suffering from mastitis [4,16,19,25] or bovine intramammary infections (IMI) [40,41].…”

ABSTRACT. One hundred and thirty-eight strains of Staphylococcus hyicus and 21 strains of S. chromogenes isolated from animals were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after restriction endonuclease SmaI digestion of chromosomal DNA. Eighty-eight strains of S. hyicus from pigs with or without exudative epidermitis (EE) generated 16 to 26 fragments in the size range of <1 to 485 kb, and yielded 39 different patterns. With regard to the strains from pigs with EE, PFGE patterns differed according to the country of origin. Outbreaks of EE occurring on four separate pig farms in Japan involved S. hyicus with different PFGE patterns. The PFGE patterns shown by S. hyicus strains from 4 kinds of animals were compared. Strains from pigs differed from those isolated from chickens (n=45; 18 to 24 fragments of <1 to 425 kb), cows (n=3; 17 to 19 fragments of <1 to 475 kb), and goats (n=2; 16 or 17 fragments of <1 to 1,125 kb). Also, each of the chicken, cow and goat strains had a host-specific fragment. The results suggest that PFGE analysis might be a useful marker for distinguishing ecovars within S. hyicus. In contrast, strains of S. chromogenes from pigs and cows generated 17 to 24 fragments ranging from <1 to 545 kb. The PFGE patterns of S. chromogenes strains were more highly conserved than those of S. hyicus. S. chromogenes strains could be distinguished from S. hyicus strains by fragments within the range of 305 to 545 kb. The results indicate that PFGE analysis could be used to distinguish between S. hyicus and S. chromogenes. We conclude that PFGE analysis is a useful tool not only for species or strain identification but also for epidemiologic or ecologic studies of S. hyicus and S. chromogenes. -KEY WORDS: genomic DNA fingerprinting, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, Staphylococcus chromogenes, Staphylococcus hyicus.
