Phenotypic diversity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains associated with the plasmid O157.

Project description:Escherichia coli O157:H7, a food-borne pathogen, causes hemorrhagic colitis and the hemolytic-uremic syndrome. A putative virulence factor of E. coli O157:H7 is a 60-MDa plasmid (pO157) found in 99% of all clinical isolates and many bovine-derived strains. The well characterized E. coli O157:H7 Sakai strain (Sakai) and its pO157-cured derivative (Sakai-Cu) were compared for phenotypic differences. Sakai-Cu had enhanced survival in synthetic gastric fluid, did not colonize cattle as well as wild-type Sakai, and had unchanged growth rates and tolerance to salt and heat. These results are consistent with our previous findings with another E. coli O157:H7 disease outbreak isolate ATCC 43894 and its pO157-cured (43894-Cu). However, despite the essentially sequence identical pO157 in these strains, Sakai-Cu had changes in antibiotic susceptibility and motility that did not occur in the 43894-Cu strain. This unexpected result was systematically analyzed using phenotypic microarrays testing 1,920 conditions with Sakai, 43894, and the plasmid-cured mutants. The influence of the pO157 differed between strains on a wide number of growth/survival conditions. Relative expression of genes related to acid resistance (gadA, gadX, and rpoS) and flagella production (fliC and flhD) were tested using quantitative real-time PCR and gadA and rpoS expression differed between Sakai-Cu and 43894-Cu. The strain-specific differences in phenotype that resulted from the loss of essentially DNA-sequence identical pO157 were likely due to the chromosomal genetic diversity between strains. The O157:H7 serotype diversity was further highlighted by phenotypic microarray comparisons of the two outbreak strains with a genotype 6 bovine E. coli O157:H7 isolate, rarely associated with human disease.

Genomic regions conserved in lineage II Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains.

Project description:Populations of the food- and waterborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 are comprised of two major lineages. Recent studies have shown that specific genotypes within these lineages differ substantially in the frequencies with which they are associated with human clinical disease. While the nucleotide sequences of the genomes of lineage I strains E. coli O157 Sakai and EDL9333 have been determined, much less is known about the genomes of lineage II strains. In this study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to identify genomic features that define lineage II populations. Three SSH experiments were performed, yielding 1,085 genomic fragments consisting of 811 contigs. Bacteriophage sequences were identified in 11.3% of the contigs, 9% showed insertions and 2.3% deletions with respect to E. coli O157:H7 Sakai, and 23.2% did not have significant identity to annotated sequences in GenBank. In order to test for the presence of these novel loci in lineage I and II strains, 27 PCR primer sets were designed based on sequences from these contigs. All but two of these PCR targets were found in the majority (51.9% to 100%) of 27 lineage II strains but in no more than one (<6%) of the 17 lineage I strains. Several of these lineage II-related fragments contain insertions/deletions that may play an important role in virulence. These lineage II-related loci were also shown to be useful markers for genotyping of E. coli O157:H7 strains isolated from human and animal sources.

Transcriptome changes and polymyxin resistance of acid-adapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43889.

Project description:Background: Acid treatment is commonly used for controlling or killing pathogenic microorganisms on medical devices and environments; however, inadequate acid treatment may cause acid tolerance response (ATR) and offer cross-protection against environmental stresses, including antimicrobials. This study aimed to characterise an Escherichia coli strain that can survive in the acidic gastrointestinal environment.Results: We developed an acid-tolerant E. coli O157:H7 ATCC 43889 (ATCC 43889) strain that can survive at pH 2.75 via cell adaptation in low pH conditions. We also performed RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR to compare differentially expressed transcripts between acid-adapted and non-adapted cells. Genes related to stress resistance, including kdpA and bshA were upregulated in the acid-adapted ATCC 43889 strain. Furthermore, the polymyxin resistance gene arnA was upregulated in the acid-adapted cells, and resistance against polymyxin B and colistin (polymyxin E) was observed. As polymyxins are important antibiotics, effective against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections, the emergence of polymyxin resistance in acid-adapted E. coli is a serious public health concern.Conclusion: The transcriptomic and phenotypic changes analysed in this study during the adaptation of E. coli to acid environments can provide useful information for developing intervention technologies and mitigating the risk associated with the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Case definitions of hemolytic uremic syndrome following Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection vary in validity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Multiple case definitions for post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+ HUS) associated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are used across public health, research, and clinical practice. METHODS:To identify a single definition of D+ HUS for standardized use, we evaluated the comparability and validity of four common, heterogeneous definitions: the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) definition, hematology-focused and age-focused definitions from the literature, and hospital diagnosis. We reviewed medical records from 471 hospitalized E. coli O157:H7 cases reported in Washington State, 2005-2014. We assessed 1) reliability across definitions, 2) comparability of temporal trends, and 3) sensitivity and specificity using an omnibus reference standard, developed using a combination of definition agreement and clinical outcomes. With the standard, we classified cases as definite, borderline, or unlikely/not post-diarrheal D+ HUS. RESULTS:Reliability was highest between the age-focused definition and hospital diagnosis (??=?0.84), and temporal trends were largely comparable across definitions. For definite D+ HUS cases, the age-focused definition had the highest overall validity [100% sensitivity, 95% confidence interval (CI): 94%, 100%; 96% specificity, 95% CI: 94%, 98%]. The CSTE definition had low specificity (75%, 95% CI: 70%, 79%). CONCLUSIONS:In this review, the CSTE definition overestimated the burden of D+ HUS, and the age-focused definition provided the best overall reliability and validity to define post-diarrheal D+ HUS. Disease monitoring and research activities should consider using the age-focused D+ HUS definition.

Distinct acid resistance and survival fitness displayed by Curli variants of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7.

Project description:Curli are adhesive fimbriae of Enterobacteriaceae and are involved in surface attachment, cell aggregation, and biofilm formation. Here, we report that both inter- and intrastrain variations in curli production are widespread in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7. The relative proportions of curli-producing variants (C(+)) and curli-deficient variants (C(-)) in an E. coli O157:H7 cell population varied depending on the growth conditions. In variants derived from the 2006 U.S. spinach outbreak strains, the shift between the C(+) and C(-) subpopulations occurred mostly in response to starvation and was unidirectional from C(-) to C(+); in variants derived from the 1993 hamburger outbreak strains, the shift occurred primarily in response to oxygen depletion and was bidirectional. Furthermore, curli variants derived from the same strain displayed marked differences in survival fitness: C(+) variants grew to higher concentrations in nutrient-limited conditions than C(-) variants, whereas C(-) variants were significantly more acid resistant than C(+) variants. This difference in acid resistance does not appear to be linked to the curli fimbriae per se, since a csgA deletion mutant in either a C(+) or a C(-) variant exhibited an acid resistance similar to that of its parental strain. Our data suggest that natural curli variants of E. coli O157:H7 carry several distinct physiological properties that are important for their environmental survival. Maintenance of curli variants in an E. coli O157:H7 population may provide a survival strategy in which C(+) variants are selected in a nutrient-limited environment, whereas C(-) variants are selected in an acidic environment, such as the stomach of an animal host, including that of a human.
