To check the microbiological safety with respect to increased virulence of surviving pathogens after irradiation, in this study, the transcriptional change of vvp gene encoding metalloprotease, which is one of the typical virulence factors of Vibrio vulnificus, was monitored by real-time PCR during the course of growth cycle after reinoculation of irradiated Vibrio. When V. vulnificus was exposed to a dose of 0.5 and 1 kGy, the lag period before growth resumption of sub-cultures became longer than non-irradiated counterpart as increase of irradiation dose. In the case of non-irradiated culture, the transcription of vvp was significantly activated at 15 h after inoculation, when bacterial growth reached the stationary phase, and the highest level of protease activity (686 U/mL) was measured at the same time. Interestingly, vvp expression of irradiated Vibrio was turned up earlier than non-irradiated Vibrio during the mid log phase of growth, whereas these rapid induction of vvp expression from irradiated cells didn’ result in an increase of metalloprotease production. When Vibrio was irradiated at 0.5 and 1 kGy, the protease activities peaked at 18 h after inoculation and the levels of activities were lower 1.2- and 1.4-fold, respectively, compared to the non-irradiated counterpart. Results from this study indicate that gamma radiation is not likely to activate the virulence ability of surviving Vibrio.
Abstract
To check the microbiological safety with respect to increased virulence of surviving pathogens after irradiation, in this study, the transcriptional change of vvp gene encoding metalloprotease, which is one of the typical virulence factors of Vibrio vulnificus, was monitored by real-time PCR during the course of growth cycle after reinoculation of irradiated Vibrio. When V. vulnificus was exposed to a dose of 0.5 and 1 kGy, the lag period before growth resumption of sub-cultures became longer than non-irradiated counterpart as increase of irradiation dose. In the case of non-irradiated culture, the transcription of vvp was significantly activated at 15 h after inoculation, when bacterial growth reached the stationary phase, and the highest level of protease activity (686 U/mL) was measured at the same time. Interestingly, vvp expression of irradiated Vibrio was turned up earlier than non-irradiated Vibrio during the mid log phase of growth, whereas these rapid induction of vvp expression from irradiated cells didn’ result in an increase of metalloprotease production. When Vibrio was irradiated at 0.5 and 1 kGy, the protease activities peaked at 18 h after inoculation and the levels of activities were lower 1.2- and 1.4-fold, respectively, compared to the non-irradiated counterpart. Results from this study indicate that gamma radiation is not likely to activate the virulence ability of surviving Vibrio.
