Quorum Sensing System in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron Strain Identified by Genome Sequence Analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study is a bioinformatics assay on the microbial genome of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The study focuses on the problem of quorum sensing as a result of adverse factors such as chemotherapy and antibiotic therapy. In patients with severe intestinal diseases, two strains of microorganisms were identified that were distinguished as new. Strains were investigated by conducting genome sequencing. The current concepts concerned with the quorum sensing system regulation by stationary-phase sigma factor and their coregulation of target genes in B. thetaiotaomicron were considered. The study suggested using bioinformatics data for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders. In the course of the study, 402 genes having a greater than twofold change were identified with the 95% confidence level. The shortest and longest coding genes were predicted; the noncoding genes were detected. Biological pathways (KEGG pathways) were classified into the following categories: cellular processes, environmental information processing, genetic information processing, human disease, metabolism, and organismic systems. Among notable changes in the biofilm population observed in parallel to the planktonic B. thetaiotaomicron was the expression of genes in the polysaccharide utilization loci that were involved in the synthesis of O-glycans.

Draft Genome Sequence of Providencia sneebia Strain ST1, a Quorum Sensing Bacterium Associated with Marine Microalgae.

Project description:Providencia sneebia strain ST1 is a symbiotic bacterium (belonging to phylum gammaproteobacteria) with marine microalgae. This bacterium exhibits the ability to produce N-Acyl homoserine lactone signal molecule. To date, no genome that originates from marine Providencia spp. has been reported. In this study, we present the genome sequence of this strain. It has a genome size of 4.89 M, with 19 contigs and an average G+C of 51.97%. The function of 4,631 proteins was predicted, and 3,652 proteins were assigned to COG functional categories. Among them, 407 genes are involved in carbohydrate metabolism, 306 genes participate in nitrogen utilization and energy conversion, and 185 genes related to signal transduction process. Thus, this strain plays an active role in the biogeochemical cycle in algal life history. The whole-genome of this isolate and annotation will help enhance understanding of bacterial ecological behavior in the phycosphere.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-Infecting Bacteriophage Isolates Inform Sequence-Based Host Range Predictions.

Project description:Our emerging view of the gut microbiome largely focuses on bacteria, while less is known about other microbial components, such as bacteriophages (phages). Though phages are abundant in the gut, very few phages have been isolated from this ecosystem. Here, we report the genomes of 27 phages from the United States and Bangladesh that infect the prevalent human gut bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. These phages are mostly distinct from previously sequenced phages with the exception of two, which are crAss-like phages. We compare these isolates to existing human gut metagenomes, revealing similarities to previously inferred phages and additional unexplored phage diversity. Finally, we use host tropisms of these phages to identify alleles of phage structural genes associated with infectivity. This work provides a detailed view of the gut's "viral dark matter" and a framework for future efforts to further integrate isolation- and sequencing-focused efforts to understand gut-resident phages.

Enterobacter asburiae strain L1: complete genome and whole genome optical mapping analysis of a quorum sensing bacterium.

Project description:Enterobacter asburiae L1 is a quorum sensing bacterium isolated from lettuce leaves. In this study, for the first time, the complete genome of E. asburiae L1 was sequenced using the single molecule real time sequencer (PacBio RSII) and the whole genome sequence was verified by using optical genome mapping (OpGen) technology. In our previous study, E. asburiae L1 has been reported to produce AHLs, suggesting the possibility of virulence factor regulation which is quorum sensing dependent. This evoked our interest to study the genome of this bacterium and here we present the complete genome of E. asburiae L1, which carries the virulence factor gene virK, the N-acyl homoserine lactone-based QS transcriptional regulator gene luxR and the N-acyl homoserine lactone synthase gene which we firstly named easI. The availability of the whole genome sequence of E. asburiae L1 will pave the way for the study of the QS-mediated gene expression in this bacterium. Hence, the importance and functions of these signaling molecules can be further studied in the hope of elucidating the mechanisms of QS-regulation in E. asburiae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documentation of both a complete genome sequence and the establishment of the molecular basis of QS properties of E. asburiae.

Comprehensive genome analysis of Burkholderia contaminans SK875, a quorum-sensing strain isolated from the swine.

Project description:The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a Gram-negative bacterial, including Burkholderia contaminans species. Although the plain Burkholderia is pervasive from taxonomic and genetic perspectives, a common characteristic is that they may use the quorum-sensing (QS) system. In our previous study, we generated the complete genome sequence of Burkholderia contaminans SK875 isolated from the respiratory tract. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report functional genomic features of B. contaminans SK875 for understanding the pathogenic characteristics. In addition, comparative genomic analysis for five B. contaminans genomes was performed to provide comprehensive information on the disease potential of B. contaminans species. Analysis of average nucleotide identity (ANI) showed that the genome has high similarity (> 96%) with other B. contaminans strains. Five B. contaminans genomes yielded a pangenome of 8832 coding genes, a core genome of 5452 genes, the accessory genome of 2128 genes, and a unique genome of 1252 genes. The 186 genes were specific to B. contaminans SK875, including toxin higB-2, oxygen-dependent choline dehydrogenase, and hypothetical proteins. Genotypic analysis of the antimicrobial resistance of B. contaminans SK875 verified resistance to tetracycline, fluoroquinolone, and aminoglycoside. Compared with the virulence factor database, we identified 79 promising virulence genes such as adhesion system, invasions, antiphagocytic, and secretion systems. Moreover, 45 genes of 57 QS-related genes that were identified in B. contaminans SK875 indicated high sequence homology with other B. contaminans strains. Our results will help to gain insight into virulence, antibiotic resistance, and quorum sensing for B. contaminans species.

Antibiotic Resistance Markers in Burkholderia pseudomallei Strain Bp1651 Identified by Genome Sequence Analysis.

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei Bp1651 is resistant to several classes of antibiotics that are usually effective for treatment of melioidosis, including tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and β-lactams such as penicillins (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid), cephalosporins (ceftazidime), and carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem). We sequenced, assembled, and annotated the Bp1651 genome and analyzed the sequence using comparative genomic analyses with susceptible strains, keyword searches of the annotation, publicly available antimicrobial resistance prediction tools, and published reports. More than 100 genes in the Bp1651 sequence were identified as potentially contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Most notably, we identified three previously uncharacterized point mutations in penA, which codes for a class A β-lactamase and was previously implicated in resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The mutations result in amino acid changes T147A, D240G, and V261I. When individually introduced into select agent-excluded B. pseudomallei strain Bp82, D240G was found to contribute to ceftazidime resistance and T147A contributed to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and imipenem resistance. This study provides the first evidence that mutations in penA may alter susceptibility to carbapenems in B. pseudomallei Another mutation of interest was a point mutation affecting the dihydrofolate reductase gene folA, which likely explains the trimethoprim resistance of this strain. Bp1651 was susceptible to aminoglycosides likely because of a frameshift in the amrB gene, the transporter subunit of the AmrAB-OprA efflux pump. These findings expand the role of penA to include resistance to carbapenems and may assist in the development of molecular diagnostics that predict antimicrobial resistance and provide guidance for treatment of melioidosis.
