Abstract

Previous epidemiological studies have demonstrated a potential link between the serotypes of recovered from cattle, sheep and pigs and those isolated from human disease cases. Further studies utilizing amplified fragment length polymorphisms have shown a relationship at the genetic level between strains of biotypes 3 and 4 from humans and livestock, and also suggested that some biotype 1A isolates, classically defined as non-pathogenic, are closely related to biotype 3 and 4 isolates. This study sought to understand further the pathogenic potential of isolates from livestock in Great Britain. A range of surrogate models, such as invasion of epithelial tissue cultures, survival in cultured macrophages and cytokine secretion response, was employed to assess the pathogenicity of 88 strains. The results suggested that all isolates examined were capable of adhering to and invading epithelial cells and of surviving within macrophages. However, the inflammatory response of the infected macrophages differed with the infecting subtype, with the response to pathogenic biotype 3 and 4 isolates different to that observed with biotype 1A isolates, and with the biotype 3 O : 5,27 isolates recovered exclusively from animals. Infections of porcine tissue also suggested the possibility of host-tissue tropism within subtypes.
