Trang 4INTRODUCTION
1 Reason to choose the topic
With the advantage of a long coastline (3,260 km) stretching from North to South, the potential for aquaculture development of our country is huge According to the General Statistics Office, in 2018 the GDP of the whole fishery reached 190.123 billion VND, accounted for 3.43% of the whole economy and 23.57% of the whole agriculture sector, increased 6.46% compared to 2017, reached the highest growth rate in agriculture, contributed 0.22 percentage points to the overall growth of the country's agricultural sector [187] However, the aquaculture industry in Vietnam as well as in the world always faces difficulties and challenges, especially the losses caused by diseases According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), diseases that cause global aquaculture losses more than USD 6 billion each year, occur in most developing countries
In Vietnam, it is estimated that each year the aquaculture industry has lost nearly USD 1 billion due to the disease [22]
Hepatic and kidney necrosis disease in fish was detected in 14 countries, in 48 species
of fish, is known to be caused by the bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus [112] Diseased
fish have symptoms such as red spots, skin sores, flakes, truncated fins, hemorrhagic organs, especially in liver and kidney, diseased fishes can die in mass, with up to 90% mortality
[112, 138] V parahaemolyticus caused hepatic and kidney necrosis disease and made high
percentage mortality in fish annually reported in Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces [184, 185, 186]
Until now, to control and to treat hepatic and kidney necrosis disease for fish, farmers
has mainly used antibiotics to kill V parahaemolyticus [34, 61] However, that using
regularly and lack strict control of antibiotics led to the antibiotic resistance in many bacterial strains [26] and accumulation of residual antibiotics in fish tissue, which is food for human [107] Therefore, vaccination for aquatic animals is an effective method to control disease and reduce using antibiotics in aquaculture
Bacterial vaccines for fish include inactivated vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, recombinant vaccines, sub-unit vaccines, DNA vaccines [125] Most of the commercially bacterial vaccines for fish in the world are inactivated vaccine because of their high safety However, the inactivated vaccines usually have a short protection period [152] Although there have been a few studies on making inactivated, recombinant or DNA vaccines to
prevent the disease caused by V parahaemolyticus in fish has been published So far, no commercially licensed vaccines against bacterium V parahaemolyticus have been used in
fish A live attenuated vaccines using a attenuated bacteria are a promising research path for commercial vaccine production for fish with high relative survival percent (RPS) and long
Trang 5protection periods
Creating a strain of V parahaemolyticus that has the ability to cause an immune
response for fish is important and decisive for the success or failure of developing a live attenuated vaccine Therefore, the study of creating a attenuated strain for the development
of live attenuated vaccine to prevent necrosis of the liver and kidney in fish is very necessary and consistent with the trend and offers a high potential for prevention hepatic and kidney necrosis disease
Based on the theoretical and practical basis, the project: “A study on creating of
attenuated mutant Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains to develop live atttenuated vaccine
against hepatic and kidney necrosis disease in some marine fish” has been carried out

Trang 11CHAPTER III RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Isolation of bacteria from marine fish samples suspected to have hepatic and kidney necrosis disease
3.1.1 Isolation of Vibrio bacteria
Isolating 26 bacterial isolates of the Vibrio ssp from fishes suspected to have hepatic
and kidney necrosis disease After that, 11 bacteria isolates were selected: B3.13; B5M2; B5M3; B5M4; B13M1; B20M2; N9.2; N13.1.1; A3.3; HH3-34; LBT6 which have the
characteristic of V parahaemolyticus colonies
3.1.2 Biochemical analysis of bacterial isolates
All 11 bacterial isolates had biochemical characteristics similar to the positive control
strains VTCC 12233 and suitable for V parahaemolyticus: the ability to ferment glucose,
not ferment lactose, not produce H2S, not produce gas, to produce indole, to be able to move, to produce catalase, hemolytic type β Antibiotics resistance of isolates was shown in Table 3.3
The antibiotic resistance of V parahaemolyticus strain has also been reported by many
authors [167, 182] It can be noticed that using antibiotics lack of control in the treatment of aquatic diseases was a huge concern for the aquaculture industry Vaccines for aquatic animals is a sustainable solution and is essential to minimize antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture

3.1.3 Amplifying and sequencing some virulence genes and rpoB gene bacterial isolates
The bacterial isolates (11 isolates) and control V parahaemolyticus VTCC 12233
strain were extracted total DNA and checked quality on agarose electrophoresis gel Results showed that a total DNA band on the agarose gel was compact and sharp (Figure 3.6) The
OD260/OD280 ratios of 12 total DNA samples were in the range of 1.8 to 2.0 Thus, these total DNA samples were purified, qualified for use in PCR

Line 1-12: VTCC 12233; B3.13; B5M2; B5M3; B5M4; B13M1; B20M2; N9.2; N13.1.1; A3.3;
HH3-34; LBT6; M: Marker 1kb
The toxR and tlh genes were amplified from the total DNA of the 11 bacterial isolates (Figure 3.7; 3.8) However, PCR products of tdh and trh genes were not observed on gel electrophoresis Probably, genomes of 11 isolates did not carry 02 tdh and trh virulence genes The absence of the tdh and trh genes in the V parahaemolyticus genomes has also
The total DNA of the 11 bacterial isolates and the VTCC 12233 control strain had both
DNA bands (~368 bp and ~450 bp) of toxR and tlh genes amplified with two primer pairs
Trang 13(toxR-4, toxR-7 [69] and tlhF-tlhR [29]) Therefore, it can be confirmed precisely that 11
bacterial isolates were V parahaemolyticus From here, the bacterial isolates were called V
parahaemolyticus strains
3.1.4 Evaluation of pathogenicity of V parahaemolyticus strains to groupers
Observing the symptoms of infected fish and recording the survival rate of the
groupers after 14 injection days with V parahaemolyticus strains isolated showed that:
100% of the infected fish manifested hemorrhagic symptoms, hemorrhagic fin, flake of fish scales, skin ulcer, the muscular area around the injection site and skin are darker, severe necrosis of the liver and kidney
The survival rate of grouper after 14 infection days (Table 3.5) ranged from 2.22% to 22.22%, of which, fish injected with B5M3 and N9.2 strains had the lowest survival rate (2.22%) The highest survival rate recorded in fish infected with the B13M1 strain (22.22%) These rates in fishes infected with LBT6, B3.13, A3.3, B5M2, B5M4 strains were 13.33%; 6.67%; 10%; 18.9%; 18.9%, respectively The survival rate 16.67% was observed in fish infected with one of three strains of bacteria B20M2, N13.1.1, HH3-34 High mortality rates was in the first week, especially on day 1 to day 3 after infection In the following week, the mortality rate was lower and the change range of this rate was less among days
