A Novel Hybrid Plasmid Carrying Multiple Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Genes in Salmonella enterica Serovar Dublin.

ABSTRACT: Virulence plasmids and antibiotic resistance plasmids are usually maintained separately in Salmonella spp.; however, we report an instance of a hybrid plasmid (pN13-01125) in Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin. Review of the complete sequence of the 172,265-bp plasmid suggests that pN13-01125 is comprised of the previously described pSDVr and pSH696_135 plasmids and that the mechanism of hybridization likely involves IS6 (IS26) insertion sequence elements. The plasmid has a low conjugation frequency, confers resistance to six classes of antimicrobials, and contains a complete spv virulence operon.

Integrons and transposons on the Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium virulence plasmid.

Project description:A virulence plasmid was identified in a multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium strain carrying the spvC, rck, and pefA virulence genes and two class 1 integrons linked to the Tn21 and Tn1696 transposons. A novel trimethoprim resistance gene, designated dfrA23, was also identified within the integron region. The association of multidrug resistance and virulence determinants represents an interesting example of virulence plasmid evolution.

Characterization of pUO-StVR2, a virulence-resistance plasmid evolved from the pSLT virulence plasmid of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Project description:pUO-StVR2 is a virulence-resistance plasmid which originated from pSLT of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium through acquisition of a complex resistance island, flanked by regions that provide a toxin-antitoxin system and an iron uptake system. The presence of resistance and virulence determinants on the same plasmid allows coselection of both properties, potentially increasing health risks.

Extensive drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg carrying blaNDM encoding plasmid p5558 (IncA/C) from India.

Project description:Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are foodborne pathogens that are responsible for self-limiting gastroenteritis in humans. The present study aims at the molecular characterisation and comparative genomics of Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg strain P5558 isolated from the pus samples of a patient suffering from stump infection. The isolate was subjected to serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility test to understand the phenotypical characteristics. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was carried out and comparative genomics using computational tools showed the antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profile of the isolates from the genome sequence data. Typing experiments confirmed that the isolate belong to S. Senftenberg with sequence type ST14. Resistance against β-lactams is associated with the presence of blaTEM-1, blaOXA-9, blaCMY-2 and blaNDM-1 genes. Similarly resistance to aminoglycoside was associated with five aminoglycoside modifying enzymes aac(6')-Ia, aac(6')-Ib, aph(3')-Ib, aph(6')-Ib and ant(3'')-Ia, sulfonamide with sul-1 and sul-2 and chloramphenicol with florR gene. Substitutions in gyrA (S83Y, D87G) and parC (S80I) genes found to be the reason for fluoroquinolone resistance. The plasmid profiling showed the isolate has four resistance plasmids in which plasmid p5558-NDM (IncA/C) harbours major resistance genes including blaNDM-1 and blaCMY-2. Determination of virulence gene profile revealed that the genome carries all major Salmonella pathogenicity islands and virulence factors. From our findings it is clear that the isolate possess characteristic pathogenicity islands (SPI 1-6, 13, 14), major virulence factors and acquired resistance genes. Comparative analysis suggests the evolution and distribution of the MDR gene encoding plasmids in NTS.

Genome sequences of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium, Choleraesuis, Dublin, and Gallinarum strains of well- defined virulence in food-producing animals.

Project description:Salmonella enterica is an animal and zoonotic pathogen of worldwide importance and may be classified into serovars differing in virulence and host range. We sequenced and annotated the genomes of serovar Typhimurium, Choleraesuis, Dublin, and Gallinarum strains of defined virulence in each of three food-producing animal hosts. This provides valuable measures of intraserovar diversity and opportunities to formally link genotypes to phenotypes in target animals.

The Homolog of the Gene bstA of the BTP1 Phage from Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium ST313 Is an Antivirulence Gene in Salmonella enterica Serovar Dublin.

Project description:In a previous study, a novel virulence gene, bstA, identified in a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium sequence type 313 (ST313) strain was found to be conserved in all published Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin genomes. In order to analyze the role of this gene in the host-pathogen interaction in S Dublin, a mutant where this gene was deleted (S Dublin ?bstA) and a mutant which was further genetically complemented with bstA (S Dublin 3246-C) were constructed and tested in models of in vitro and in vivo infection as well as during growth competition assays in M9 medium, Luria-Bertani broth, and cattle blood. In contrast to the results obtained for a strain of S Typhimurium ST313, the lack of bstA was found to be associated with increased virulence in S Dublin. Thus, S Dublin ?bstA showed higher levels of uptake than the wild-type strain during infection of mouse and cattle macrophages and higher net replication within human THP-1 cells. Furthermore, during mouse infections, S Dublin ?bstA was more virulent than the wild type following a single intraperitoneal infection and showed an increased competitive index during competitive infection assays. Deletion of bstA did not affect either the amount of cytokines released by THP-1 macrophages or the cytotoxicity toward these cells. The histology of the livers and spleens of mice infected with the wild-type strain and the S Dublin ?bstA mutant revealed similar levels of inflammation between the two groups. The gene was not important for adherence to or invasion of human epithelial cells and did not influence bacterial growth in rich medium, minimal medium, or cattle blood. In conclusion, a lack of bstA affects the pathogenicity of S Dublin by decreasing its virulence. Therefore, it might be regarded as an antivirulence gene in this serovar.

Physiological and molecular responses of Lactuca sativa to colonization by Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin.

Project description:This paper describes the physiological and molecular interactions between the human-pathogenic organism Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin and the commercially available mini Roman lettuce cv. Tamburo. The association of S. enterica serovar Dublin with lettuce plants was first determined, which indicated the presence of significant populations outside and inside the plants. The latter was evidenced from significant residual concentrations after highly efficient surface disinfection (99.81%) and fluorescence microscopy of S. enterica serovar Dublin in cross sections of lettuce at the root-shoot transition region. The plant biomass was reduced significantly compared to that of noncolonized plants upon colonization with S. enterica serovar Dublin. In addition to the physiological response, transcriptome analysis by cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis also provided clear differential gene expression profiles between noncolonized and colonized lettuce plants. From these, generally and differentially expressed genes were selected and identified by sequence analysis, followed by reverse transcription-PCR displaying the specific gene expression profiles in time. Functional grouping of the expressed genes indicated a correlation between colonization of the plants and an increase in expressed pathogenicity-related genes. This study indicates that lettuce plants respond to the presence of S. enterica serovar Dublin at physiological and molecular levels, as shown by the reduction in growth and the concurrent expression of pathogenicity-related genes. In addition, it was confirmed that Salmonella spp. can colonize the interior of lettuce plants, thus potentially imposing a human health risk when processed and consumed.

Verification of different methods used for isolating Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin from cattle feces.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin is a cattle-adapted serovar, and some infected cattle can become asymptomatic carriers. Identification of carrier animals is important for preventing the spread of infection within a farm, but low diagnostic sensitivity of the fecal culture method is problematic. In this study, we investigated isolation methods of four S. enterica Dublin strains. Selective enrichment using the tetrathionate broth showed better performance than Rappaport-Vassiliadis R10 broth, but one of the strains was not detectable. Since isolation of such strains by selective enrichment can be difficult, we designed a method using immuno-plates that concentrates S. enterica Dublin by antigen-antibody reaction. Our method is able to detect approximately 200 clony-forming units of S. enterica Dublin in 0.1 g of cattle feces. If S. enterica Dublin was isolated from cattle with clinical signs, the method to identify carriers in the farm should be based on the growth kinetics of the target S. enterica Dublin strain.
