Global transcriptional response of Clostridium difficile carrying the M-OM-^UCD38-2 prophage

ABSTRACT: We used RNA-seq to conduct a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of the C. difficile strain R20291 carrying the newly introduced M-OM-^UCD38-2 prophage. A total of 39 bacterial genes were differentially expressed in the R20291 lysogen, 26 of them being downregulated. Several of the regulated genes encode transcriptional regulators and PTS subunits involved in glucose, fructose and glucitol/sorbitol uptake and metabolism. Also of note, the presence of M-OM-^UCD38-2 upregulated the expression of a group of regulatory genes located in phi-027, a resident prophage common to most ribotype 027 isolates. The most differentially expressed gene was the conserved phase-variable cell wall protein CwpV, which was upregulated by about 20-fold in the lysogen. This is the first study describing the global response of C. difficile to the presence of a newly introduced prophage. Two strains (WT and lysogen) were subjected for RNA-seq analysis with two biological replicates each.

Comparative genomic hybridization of Clostridium difficile strains to identify markers of different ribotypes

Project description:Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) strains belonging to PCR ribotype 027, PFGE type NAP1, REA type B1 and toxinotype III, termed NAP1/027, have been implicated in the increased frequency of outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) in North America and Europe. The NAP1/027 strains appears to be more virulent with an increased mortality and frequency of relapse. Current European C. difficile microarrays are designed to the first sequenced and annotated C. difficile complete genome - strain 630 (ribotype 12). A high density oligonucleotide microarray was designed to C. difficile 630 (CD630) sequence and extra probes corresponding to two PCR ribotypes O27 strains C. difficile R20291 and QCD-32g58 were also included. Comparative genomic hybridisation was used to identify markers of ribotype 027 strains and markers to identify CD630. Strains hybridised to the array included the most prevalent ribotypes found in the UK and Europe (106 and 001) as well as the emerging hypervirulent ribotype 078.

Clostridium difficile transcriptome of strain R20291 in response to cysteine by using a time-resolved RNA-seqencing

Project description:The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection has been steadily rising over the past decade. Its increased rate is associated with the specific NAP1/BI/027 strains which are “hypervirulent” and have led to several large outbreaks since their emergence. However, the relation between their outbreaks and virulence regulation mechanisms remains unclear. It has been reported that the major virulence factor TcdA and TcdB in C. difficile could be repressed by cysteine. Here, we investigated functional and virulence-associated regulation of C. difficile R20291 in response to cysteine stress by using a time-resolved genome-wide transcriptional analysis. Dramatic changes of gene expression in C. difficile were revealed in functional categories related to transport, metabolism, and regulators under cysteine stress during different phases of growth.

Clostridioides difficile: R20291_pMTL84151 transconjugant (C) vs. R20291_pMTL84151-03890 (T1)

Project description:Gene expression level of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) strain R20291 comparing control C. difficile carring pMTL84151 as vector plasmid with C. difficile conjugated with a pMTL84151-03890 gene. Goal was to determine the effects of 03890 gene conjugation on C. difficile strain R20291 gene expression.

Transcriptomic profile of a Clostridioides difficile rsbW deletion mutant compared to parental R20291 strain

Project description:RNA-seq was conducted to uncover the regulatory roles of RsbW in the lifestyle of Clostridioides difficile strain R20291. RNA were extracted from planktonic cultures, which were grown in BHI-S (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) to early stationary phase (10h). The cells were re-suspended in LETS buffer and lysed using Fast-prep 24 instrument (MP Bioscience) and RNA was extracted using 1 ml Trizol (Ambion, USA). Samples were cleaned and sequenced by Novogene Company Limited, PE150 with approximately 10 million reads per sample. After QC, reads were aligned to R20291 (NC_013316.1) with Bowtie2 and readcounts were generated with Samtools and Bedtools. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted with DESeq2 with a p-value of 0.05, differential gene expression was determined with ± -2 logFC.
