Draft Genome Sequence of Helicobacter cinaedi, Compiled by Direct Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Blood Culture-Positive Isolate in Hong Kong.

ABSTRACT: Isolation of Helicobacter cinaedi from a positive blood culture requires prolonged and stringent subculture conditions. Direct whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of a positive blood culture may provide timely treatment-associated genetic information. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of H. cinaedi compiled by direct WGS, which was 1,995,911 bp in length with 39.1% GC content.

Draft Genome Sequence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus V110, Isolated from Shrimp in Hong Kong.

Project description:We report the whole-genome sequence of a tdh- and trh-negative Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain, V110, from shrimp. The major difference of V110 from clinical strains was its lack of the type III secretion system T3SS2, a key component of virulence. Further sequence comparison can shed light on the pathogenesis of V. parahaemolyticus.

Genome Sequencing Verifies Relapsed Infection of <i>Helicobacter cinaedi</i>.

Project description:BackgroundRecurrent infections of Helicobacter cinaedi are often reported, and long-term antimicrobial treatment is empirically recommended to prevent such infections. However, there have been no studies examining whether recurrent infections are relapses of former infections or reinfections with different clones.MethodsA 69-year-old woman presented with recurrent H cinaedi bacteremia-associated cellulitis after a 51-day interval. We isolated 10 colonies from the blood cultures obtained during each of the 2 episodes and subjected them to whole-genome sequencing (WGS). High-confidence single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified by an assembly based method. Heterogeneous SNP sites were identified by read mapping. The susceptibility of a representative isolate to 14 antimicrobials was also examined.ResultsWhole-genome sequence analysis revealed only 6 SNP sites among the 20 isolates at the whole-genome level. Based on the 6 SNPs, 5 within-host variants (referred to as genotypes) were identified. All 5 genotypes were detected in the first infection; however, only 2 genotypes were detected in the second infection. Although the H cinaedi clone showed a higher minimum inhibitory concentration to fluoroquinolones and macrolides and responsible mutations were identified, none of the 6 SNPs appeared related to additional resistance.ConclusionsThe second infection analyzed here was a relapse of the first infection. A certain level of within-host genomic heterogeneity of the H cinaedi clone was already present in the first infection. Our results suggest the importance of longer treatment courses to eradicate H cinaedi for preventing the relapse of its infection.

Genome Sequence of a Human Norovirus GII.4 Hong Kong[P31] Variant in Hong Kong, China.

Project description:We report the nearly complete genome of a norovirus GII.4 Hong Kong[P31] variant (GII strain Hu/HK/2019/GII.4 Hong Kong[P31]/CUHK-NS-2200) that was detected in a patient with gastroenteritis in August 2019. The genome was sequenced by metagenomic next-generation sequencing and was found to have 92.8% nucleotide similarity to the closest GII.4 norovirus sequence in GenBank.

Misidentifying helicobacters: the Helicobacter cinaedi example.

Project description:Whole-cell protein electrophoresis and biochemical examination by means of a panel of 64 tests were used to identify 14 putative helicobacters to the species level. The results were confirmed by means of DNA-DNA hybridization experiments and were used to discuss misidentification of helicobacters based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data. The data indicated that comparison of near-complete 16S ribosomal DNA sequences does not always provide conclusive evidence for species level identification and may prove highly misleading. The data also indicated that "Helicobacter westmeadii" is a junior synonym of Helicobacter cinaedi and that Helicobacter sp. strain Mainz belongs to the same species. H. cinaedi occurs in various animal reservoirs, including hamsters, dogs, cats, rats, and foxes. Appropriate growth conditions and identification strategies will be required to establish the genuine significance of this widely distributed Helicobacter species.
