Abstract in Portuguese
Vibrio cholerae é uma bactéria autóctone do ambiente aquático e pode causar sérios riscos à saúde quando cepas patogênicas são acidentalmente consumidas. V. cholerae se encontra associada aos copépodes em concentrações que podem alcançar mais de 1000 vezes a densidade das bactérias livres na água. Se ingerido, um único copépode pode conter a dose mínima de bactérias necessária para a manifestação da doença. Verificar a presença e a distribuição dos sorogrupos O1 e O139 no complexo estuarino de Santos-Bertioga e plataforma continental adjacente em associação com o zooplâncton e seus distintos grupos taxonômicos foi o objetivo desse trabalho. O zooplâncton (>330 µm) foi coletado e a detecção dos sorogrupos O1 e O139 realizada nas amostras totais e nos táxons mais abundantes através das técnicas DVC-DFA e DFA (Contagem direta de bactérias viáveis e ensaio de imunofluorescência direta). Amostras fixadas em formol foram maceradas e preservadas numa solução tampão estéril, previamente aos experimentos. Para o DVC-DFA, animais vivos foram selecionados, lavados, macerados e uma alíquota transferida para meio de cultura. A presença da bactéria no zooplâncton foi correlacionada a parâmetros abióticos e bióticos. O sorogrupo O1 foi detectado em 88% e O139 em 77% das amostras de plâncton no complexo estuarino de Santos-Bertioga, valores mais altos do que os publicados na literatura mundial para outros estuários. Para a plataforma, a presença dos sorogrupos foi menor devido à salinidade mais elevada. Foram testados isoladamente 43 táxons, pertencentes a 9 filos. Dados inéditos da associação entre Vibrio cholerae e quetognatos, estágios larvas de equinodermos, urocordados e ovos de peixes foram registrados. Este trabalho sugere a existência de um gradiente costa-oceano para V. cholerae aderido ao zooplâncton de águas costeiras e ampla capacidade de V. cholerae O1 e O139 em aderir a diversos táxons do zooplâncton marinho.

Abstract in English
Vibrio cholerae is an autochthonous bacterium in the sea and may cause serious health problems when pathogenic strains are accidentally ingested. V. cholerae are found associated with copepods in concentrations up to a thousand times higher than the free bacteria in the water. If ingested, a single copepod may have enough bacteria necessary for human infection. The objective of this study was to verify the presence and distribution of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 serogroups over Santos-Bertioga estuarine complex and adjacent continental shelf in association with zooplankton and over its distinct taxa. Zooplankton (>330 µm) sampling was carried out and detection of V. cholerae O1 and O139 assessed in whole samples and on most abundant taxa by the DFA and DVC-DFA (Direct Viable Count and Direct Fluorescence Assay) methods. Briefly, formalin-fixed samples were grinded and preserved in a sterilized buffer solution previously to the experiments. Live animals were selected, washed and grinded and an aliquot transferred to culture media for the DVC-DFA assay. Presence of these bacteria on zooplankton was correlated with physical and biological parameters of the seawater. Serogroup O1 was found on 88% while O139 on 77% of the samples from Santos-Bertioga estuarine complex, values higher than the ones found in other estuaries in global literature. For the adjacent shelf, detection was smaller due to higher salinity. 43 taxa, belonging from 9 phyla were individually tested. Inedited data from the association of V. cholerae and chaetognaths, Urochordata, larval stages of Polychaeta, Echinodermata, and fish eggs were documented. This study suggests the existence of an inshore-offshore gradient in V. cholerae attached to zooplankton from coastal waters and the high ability of V. cholerae O1 and O139 to adhere on diverse marine zooplanktonic taxa.
