Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to provide the cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of C . hyointestinalis and polynucleotides encoding it, and novel methods for detection of C . hyointestinalis using the cdt genes. The present inventors focused on the cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of Campylobacter bacteria, and detected the cdt genes of a Campylobacter -like bacterium isolated from an enteritis patient in Thailand. The present inventors discovered a bacterial strain whose cdtB gene was amplified by common primers in C. jejuni , C. coli, and C . fetus, but not by multiplex PCR that can specifically detect the cdtA , cdtB , and cdtC genes of the three bacterial species. The bacterial strain was identified as C . hyointestinalis by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Furthermore, the entire nucleotide sequence of the cdt genes was determined by genome walking upstream and downstream of the cdtB gene.

Abstract:
Disclosed are: a cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) derived from C. hyointestinalis; a polynucleotide encoding the cytolethal distending toxin; and a novel method for detecting C. hyointestinalis by using cdt gene. Attention is focused on a cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) derived from a bacterium belonging to the genus Campylobacter. As a result, a cell line is found whose cdtB gene cannot be amplified by a multiplex PCR method that can detect specifically cdtA gene, cdtB gene and cdtC gene of C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus but can be amplified with a primer common to all of these three cell lines,by detecting cdt gene from a bacterium belonging to the genus Campylobacter isolated from a Thai enteritis patient. The analysis is made on 16S rRNA gene, and the cell line is identified as C. hyointestinalis. The full-length nucleotide sequence for cdt gene is determined by the genome walking on the upstream and the downstream from cdtB gene.
