Project description:Vibrio cholerae is a global health threat and a model enteric pathogen that causes the human disease cholera. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the seventh-pandemic V. cholerae O1 El Tor strain C6706.

Project description:After a lull of >20 years, Algeria experienced a cholera outbreak in 2018 that included 291 suspected cases. We found that outbreak isolates were Vibrio cholerae O1 serotype Ogawa from seventh pandemic El Tor sublineage AFR14, which corresponds to a new introduction of cholera into Africa from South Asia.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative waterborne human pathogen and the causative agent of cholera. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the seventh pandemic O1 biovar El Tor Inaba strain A1552 isolated in 1992. This clinical strain has served as an important model strain for studying cholera pathogenicity traits.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae O139 is a recently identified non-O1 V. cholerae strain responsible for outbreaks of epidemic cholera in India, Bangladesh, and Thailand in the past 2 years. Other workers have demonstrated the presence of the cholera toxin genetic element in V. cholerae O139, unlike the situation for other non-O1 V. cholerae strains. We sought to compare further this strain with strains of V. cholerae O1, classical and El Tor biotypes, by classic microbiologic methods, Southern blot analysis for restriction fragment length polymorphisms with probes for iron-regulated genes of V. cholerae O1, and comparisons of outer membrane protein profiles. Our results were similar for V. cholerae O139 and the El Tor biotype of V. cholerae O1, with the exception of the constitutive expression in V. cholerae O139 of OmpS, an outer membrane protein that was maltose inducible in comparison strains of V. cholerae O1.

Project description:Oligoribonuclease (Orn), a member of the DEDDh superfamily, can hydrolyse 2-5 nt nanoRNAs to mononucleotides. It is involved in maintaining the intracellular levels of RNA, c-di-GMP signalling and transcription initiation in many bacterial species. Here, the crystal structure of Orn from Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor (VcOrn) is reported at a resolution of 1.7 Å. VcOrn, which consists of nine α-helices and six β-strands, crystallizes with a single monomer in the asymmetric unit but forms a homodimer via crystallographic twofold symmetry. Electron density is observed in the active pocket that corresponds to an intersubunit N-terminal expression tag with sequence GPLGSHHH. The positively charged N-terminal tag binds in the negatively charged nucleotide-binding pocket with a buried surface area of ∼500 Å2. The N-terminal tag interacts with VcOrn via π-π stacking with two conserved residues involved in nucleotide binding, as well as via salt bridges and hydrogen bonds. The structure reported here reveals that the active pocket can accommodate polypeptides in addition to nucleotides, thus providing an important starting point for investigation into substrate modification and inhibitor design targeting VcOrn.

Project description:We determined the types of cholera toxin (CT) produced by a collection of 185 Vibrio cholerae O1 strains isolated in Bangladesh over the past 45 years. All of the El Tor strains of V. cholerae O1 isolated since 2001 produced CT of the classical biotype, while those isolated before 2001 produced CT of the El Tor biotype.

Project description:The 2 biotypes of Vibrio cholerae O1 serogroup strains-classical and El Tor-use glucose in distinct ways. Classical biotype strains perform organic acid-producing fermentation and eventually lose viability due to the self-induced creation of an acidic environment, whereas El Tor biotype strains use an alternative neutral fermentation pathway, which confers them with survival advantages. However, we report that the neutral fermentation pathway has only been recruited in prototype Wave 1 El Tor biotype strains, which have not been isolated since the mid-1990s. Current Wave 2 and Wave 3 atypical El Tor strains contain a single-base deletion in a gene that directs bacteria toward neutral fermentation, resulting in the loss of neutral fermentation and an appearance that is similar to classical biotype strains. Moreover, when sufficient glucose was supplied, Wave 1 El Tor strains maintained their use of acid-producing fermentation, in parallel with neutral fermentation, and thus lost viability in the late stationary phase. The global replacement of Wave 1 El Tor strains by Wave 2 and 3 atypical El Tor strains implies that the acidic fermentation pathway may not be disadvantageous to V. cholerae. The characteristics that we have reported might improve oral rehydration in the treatment of cholera.

Project description:We present the draft genome sequence of Vibrio cholerae InDRE 3140 recovered in 2013 during a cholera outbreak in Mexico. The genome showed the Vibrio 7th pandemic islands VSP1 and VSP2, the pathogenic islands VPI-1 and VPI-2, the integrative and conjugative element SXT/R391 (ICE-SXT), and both prophages CTXφ and RS1φ.

Project description:The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae serves as a model organism for many important processes ranging from pathogenesis to natural transformation, which has been extensively studied in this bacterium. Previous work has deciphered important regulatory circuits involved in natural competence induction as well as mechanistic details related to its DNA acquisition and uptake potential. However, since competence was first reported for V. cholerae in 2005, many researchers have struggled with reproducibility in certain strains. In this study, we therefore compare prominent seventh pandemic V. cholerae isolates, namely strains A1552, N16961, C6706, C6709, E7946, P27459, and the close relative MO10, for their natural transformability and decipher underlying defects that mask the high degree of competence conservation. Through a combination of experimental approaches and comparative genomics based on new whole-genome sequences and de novo assemblies, we identify several strain-specific defects, mostly in genes that encode key players in quorum sensing. Moreover, we provide evidence that most of these deficiencies might have recently occurred through laboratory domestication events or through the acquisition of mobile genetic elements. Lastly, we highlight that differing experimental approaches between research groups might explain more of the variations than strain-specific alterations.
