Draft Genome Sequences of 19 Clinical stx-Harboring Escherichia coli O80:H2 Strains.

ABSTRACT: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O80:H2 is an uncommon hybrid pathotype that has emerged in Switzerland and France. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 19 stx-harboring Escherichia coli O80:H2 strains isolated between 2003 and 2019 from patients in Switzerland.

Draft Genome Sequences of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O103:H2 Strains Isolated from Feces of Feedlot Cattle.

Project description:The enterohemorrhagic pathotype represents a minor proportion of the Escherichia coli O103 strains shed in the feces of cattle. We report here the genome sequences of 43 strains of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O103:H2 isolated from feedlot cattle feces. The genomic analysis will provide information on the genetic diversity and virulence potential of bovine EHEC O103.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Hybrid Pathotype O80:H2 as a New Therapeutic Challenge.

Project description:We describe the epidemiology, clinical features, and molecular characterization of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections caused by the singular hybrid pathotype O80:H2, and we examine the influence of antibiotics on Shiga toxin production. In France, during 2005-2014, a total of 54 patients were infected with EHEC O80:H2; 91% had hemolytic uremic syndrome. Two patients had invasive infections, and 2 died. All strains carried stx2 (variants stx2a, 2c, or 2d); the rare intimin gene (eae-ξ); and at least 4 genes characteristic of pS88, a plasmid associated with extraintestinal virulence. Similar strains were found in Spain. All isolates belonged to the same clonal group. At subinhibitory concentrations, azithromycin decreased Shiga toxin production significantly, ciprofloxacin increased it substantially, and ceftriaxone had no major effect. Antibiotic combinations that included azithromycin also were tested. EHEC O80:H2, which can induce hemolytic uremic syndrome complicated by bacteremia, is emerging in France. However, azithromycin might effectively combat these infections.

Impact of Shiga-toxin encoding gene transduction from O80:H2 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) on non-STEC strains.

Project description:Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are major foodborne pathogens that cause human diseases ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening complications including hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Virulence of STEC strains and their ability to cause severe diseases are associated with the activity of prophage-encoded Shiga toxins (Stxs). The first objective of this work was to isolate and characterize the Stx2d phage from STEC O80:H2 and to study the transfer of this phage in non-STEC strains. The second objective was to assess the survival of Galleria mellonella larvae inoculated with these transduced strains. Firstly, one bacteriophage isolated from a STEC O80:H2 strain was used to infect six non-STEC strains, resulting in the conversion of three strains. Then, stability assays were performed, showing that this phage was stable in the new STEC strains after three successive subculturing steps, as confirmed by a combination of short and long read genome sequencing approaches. This phage, vB_EcoS_ULI-O80_Stx2d, is resistant to moderate temperature and pH. It belongs to a currently unclassified genus and family within the Caudoviricetes class, shares 98% identity with Stx2_112808 phage and encodes several proteins involved in the lysogenic cycle. The yecE gene was identified at the insertion site. Finally, G. mellonella experiments showed that the transduced strains caused significantly higher mortality rates than the corresponding non-STEC strains. In conclusion, this study showed that stx2d gene from O80:H2 E. coli can be transferred to non-STEC strains and contributes to their virulence.

Escherichia coli O80 in Healthy Cattle: Absence of Shigatoxigenic and Enteropathogenic E. coli O80:H2 and (Phylo) Genomics of Non-Clonal Complex 165 E. coli O80.

Project description:The origin of human and calf infections by Shigatoxigenic (STEC) and enteropathogenic (EPEC) Escherichia coli O80:H2 is still unknown. The aim of this study was to identify E. coli O80 in healthy cattle with an emphasis on melibiose non-fermenting E. coli O80:H2. Faecal materials collected from 149 bulls at 1 slaughterhouse and 194 cows on 9 farms were tested with O80 antigen-encoding gene PCR after overnight growth in enrichment broths. The 53 O80 PCR-positive broths were streaked on different (semi-)selective agar plates. Five E. coli colonies from 3 bulls and 11 from 2 cows tested positive with the O80 PCR, but no melibiose non-fermenting E. coli was isolated. However, these 16 E. coli O80 were negative with PCR targeting the fliCH2, eae, stx1, stx2 and hlyF genes and were identified by WGS to serotypes and sequence types O80:H6/ST8619 and O80:H45/ST4175. They were phylogenetically related to E. coli O80:H6 and O80:H45 isolated from different animal species in different countries, respectively, but neither to STEC and EPEC O80:H2/ST301, nor to other serotypes of the clonal complex 165. As a conclusion, healthy adult cattle were not identified as a source of contamination of humans and calves by STEC or EPEC O80:H2.
