Abstract: This experiment was aimed to find out the cause of death of Rhizomys sinensis in a Rhizomys sinensis farm in Guizhou.A strain of bacteria (GZ-S1) was isolated from the submitted Rhizomys sinensis in this study,which was identified through morphological observation,biochemical test,16S rRNA gene sequence analysis,antibiotic sensitivity tests,resistance genes detection and animal infection experiment.The results showed that the isolates was Gram-positive with α-hemolysis reaction and could grow smooth and white colonies on the blood plate.Biochemical identification showed that the isolates had positive reactions to sucrose,fructose,glucose,nitrate reduction,indigo matrix and citrate,but negative reactions to galactose,mannose,hydrogen sulfide test,VP test,MR test and lysine decarboxylase contact test.After 16S rRNA gene sequencing,BLAST alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis,it was found that the isolates GZ-S1 was on the same branch as 12 reference strains of the balloon strain 201707CJKOP-Y31 (MG593595.1),Aerococcus viridans strain Mnlv2 (GQ246745.1),and so on.The results of bacterial drug sensitivity test showed that the isolates were sensitive to oxacillin, carbenicillin and ceftriaxone, was moderate sensitivity to amoxicillin,ofloxacin,sulfamethoxazole,bacteresulf polymyxin B,florfenicol and cefradine, and was resistant to enrofloxacin, kanamycin, tobramycin, neomycin, doxycycline and tetracycline.The result of resistance genes detection showed that the isolates carried resistance genes including tetA(1 031 bp),tetB(513 bp),tetD(326 bp),aadd(146 bp) and aac(6')Ⅰb(655 bp),which was consistent with the antibiotic sensitivity phenotypes.The results of artificial infection test showed that the isolates had pathogenicity.This study made an accurate diagnosis of the causes of the disease in a Rhizomys sinensis farm,and provided a reference for the prevention and rational drug use of bacterial diseases for Rhizomys sinensis.
