Project description:The aim of the study was to carry out a CGH study utilizing a set of 39 diverse Bacillus isolates. Thirty four B. cereus and five B. anthracis strains and isolates were chosen so as to represent different lineages based on previous characterizations, including MLEE and MLST (Helgason, Okstad et al. 2000; Helgason, Tourasse et al. 2004). They represent the spectrum of B. cereus phenotypic diversity by including soil, dairy and periodontal isolates in addition to virulent B. anthracis strains.

Project description:Pathogenic species belonging to Bacillus cereus sensu lato group possess a high evolutionary advantage in the environment and in food matrices thanks to their capacity to survive as silent spores to harsh environmental insults and grow at relatively low temperatures. Ready to re-heat products are at severe risk for contamination by members of Bacillus cereus s.l. group if not stored at proper conditions. In this work, the goal was to assess, by means of a genome-wide transcriptional assay, the isolated strain Bacillus cereus UC10070 gene expression behind the process of spore germination and consequent outgrowth in an artificially contaminated vegetable-based food model. A vegetable food model subjected to a heat treatment was determined to present favourable conditions for spores germination. Microscopic analyses together with OD measurements were applied to select the key steps of B. cereus cell cycle to be used for the microarray analysis. Using this approach we found a total of 1,646 probe sets differentially expressed and modulated during the entire B. cereus life cycle in the vegetable foodstuff.

Project description:The goal of this project was to screen soil samples for bacteria that may harbor B. anthracis virulence-associated genes (VAGs). There is currently no information about the prevalence of these types of organisms in the environment. Due to increased environmental monitoring of select agents by programs such as BioWatch and biodetection systems in place at the United States Post Offices and Department of State locations, it has become critical that we not only better understand the natural range of B. anthracis but also how widespread B. anthracis virulence genes are in environmental communities. Naturally occurring isolates containing the B. anthracis virulence genes could generate false-positive results in tests that detect the anthrax toxins, capsule or their associated genes. Understanding the true diversity and pathogenic potential of Bacillus spp. and particularly the B. cereus group is crucial not only in terms of understanding data from environmental monitoring but also diagnosing patients with clinical presentations similar to anthrax in the future. Severe and fatal disease caused by strains similar to B. anthracis could unnecessarily initiate emergency responses if anthrax was incorrectly suspected. Conversely, these strains may be used as bioterror agents requiring science-based responses; presently our limited understanding of these organisms does not permit data-driven decision making. We have investigated 700 aerobic sporoform soil isolates obtained from two areas in the Southwest of the US. Soil samples from the first site had been taken from public access land approximately 50 meters across from the work site of a fatal pneumonia case in a welding factory. This took place in year 2003 when B. cereus was isolated from a metal worker. The second site was targeted because of a recent case involving a deceased mule suspected to have died of a B. anthracis infection. Soil samples were initially analyzed at the CDC. Isolates were obtained by heating the soil at 65 degrees Celcius for 30 minutes followed by plating on agar media. All isolates were screened by PCR for the presence of B. anthracis genomic traits such as toxin genes (cya, lef and pag) as well as chromosomal markers. All isolates were also tested for their hemolytic activity as well as phage sensitivity.

Project description:RNA-seq experiment comparing the transcriptomes of Bacillus cereus G9241 WT to B. cereus G9241 ∆pBCXO1 when cultured both 37 and 25 degree celsius. B. cereus G9241 is a B. cereus sensu stricto strain that was isolated from a welder with and anthrax-like illness. B. cereus G9241 carries the plasmids pBCXO1 and pBC210. pBCX01 has 99.6% sequence identity to pXO1 carried by Bacillus anthracis and encodes the tripartite anthrax toxin genes and atxA, a mammalian virulence transcriptional regulator. B. cereus G9241 WT and B. cereus G9241 ∆pBCXO1 were cultured to exponential phase at either 37 or 25 degree celsius before samples were taken for RNA extraction, library prep and sequencing.

All isolates were also tested for their hemolytic activity as well as phage sensitivity. Eighty-four query strains were investigated in this study, with each query strain hybridized against the reference strain, Sterne. Two dye-swap experiments were performed with seventeen strains, for a total of four hybridizations per query strain. The other strains have a single dye experiment, for a total of two hybridizations per query strain. Each 70mer oligo spotted on the B. cereus species microarray is spotted once. Positive controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the sequenced reference genome, Sterne, and negative controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the thale cress plant, Arabidopsis thaliana.

RNA was isolated from the dormant spores (DS), germinating spores at 40 minutes (GSP), early-log phase at 2h (C2h) and late log phase cells at 12 hours (C12h) after thermal treatment of B. cereus UC10070 previously isolated froma biofilm on a spoiled vegetable-based puree. There were 3 biological replicates (independent cultures) for each condition. Complete genome sequence of B. thuringiensis sv konkukian str. 97-27 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_005957.1) was chosen for its high homology with B. cereus s.l. UC10070, to design probes corresponding to 5,197 genes spotted in duplicates onto ElectraSenseH 12K microarrays chip.

Project description:Bacillus cereus is the second leading cause of collective food poisoning in France. B. cereus is also associated with severe clinical infections leading to patient death in 10% of the cases. The emergence of B. cereus as a foodborne and opportunistic pathogen has intensified the need to distinguish strains of public health concern. In this work, by performing a screen on a large collection of B. cereus strains of varying pathogenic potential, we identified genetic determinants capable of discriminating B. cereus strains inducing negative clinical outcomes. The combination of 4 biomarkers is sufficient to accurately discern clinical strains from harmless strains. Three of the biomarkers are located on the chromosome, with a fourth one identifying a plasmid carried by most pathogenic strains. A 50 kbp region of this plasmid promotes the virulence potential of these strains and could thus be defined as a new pathogenicity island of B. cereus. These new findings help in the understanding of B. cereus pathogenic potential and complexity and may provide tools for a better assessment of the risks associated with B. cereus contamination to improve patient health and food safety.
