A Rare, Virulent Clostridium perfringens Bacteriophage Susfortuna Is the First Isolated Bacteriophage in a New Viral Genus.

Project description:Background: Clostridium perfringens is a well known swine pathogen. C. perfringens type A is considered the causative agent of enteric diseases in neonatal and weaned piglets. Phage therapy using C. perfringens phages in vivo has previously proved effective. Materials and Methods: Pig fecal samples were used to isolate phages, with Clostridium perfringens type A as host. Complete genome sequencing, comparative genomics, a proteome analysis and electron microscopy were used to characterize the phage. Results: Clostridium phage Susfortuna has a double-stranded DNA genome of 19,046 bp with a G+C% content of 29.2, inverted terminal repeats and 28 predicted coding sequences (CDSs). Putative functions could not be assigned to most of the CDSs (64.3%). Transmission electron microscopy of phage Susfortuna revealed an isometric head and a short protruding tail stub resembling the structure of the Podoviridae family. A proteome analysis of phage Susfortuna identified seven structural proteins, but only one could be assigned with a putative function. Conclusions: Based on the morphology, the inverted terminal repeats and the small genome size, phage Susfortuna belongs to subfamily Picovirinae within the Podoviridae family in the order Caudovirales. Together with C. perfringens bacteriophage CPD7, phage Susfortuna represent a new genus of bacteriophages with very limited DNA sequence similarity to other known C. perfringens phages. Despite the limited DNA sequence similarity, the gene synteny among putative structural genes of phage Susfortuna is conserved among several C. perfringens bacteriophages belonging to the Podoviridae family indicating a common ancestor.

Complete genome sequence of Clostridium perfringens, an anaerobic flesh-eater.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive anaerobic spore-forming bacterium that causes life-threatening gas gangrene and mild enterotoxaemia in humans, although it colonizes as normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. The organism is known to produce a variety of toxins and enzymes that are responsible for the severe myonecrotic lesions. Here we report the complete 3,031,430-bp sequence of C. perfringens strain 13 that comprises 2,660 protein coding regions and 10 rRNA genes, showing pronounced low overall G + C content (28.6%). The genome contains typical anaerobic fermentation enzymes leading to gas production but no enzymes for the tricarboxylic acid cycle or respiratory chain. Various saccharolytic enzymes were found, but many enzymes for amino acid biosynthesis were lacking in the genome. Twenty genes were newly identified as putative virulence factors of C. perfringens, and we found a total of five hyaluronidase genes that will also contribute to virulence. The genome analysis also proved an efficient method for finding four members of the two-component VirR/VirS regulon that coordinately regulates the pathogenicity of C. perfringens. Clearly, C. perfringens obtains various essential materials from the host by producing several degradative enzymes and toxins, resulting in massive destruction of the host tissues.

Antimicrobial susceptibility and multilocus sequence typing of Clostridium perfringens isolated from yaks in Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is an opportunistic pathogen that cause necrotic enteritis, food poisoning and even death in animals. In this study, we explored the prevalence, antibiotic resistance and genetic diversity of Clostridium perfringens isolated from yak in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China. A total of 744 yak fecal samples were collected and assessed for toxin genes, antimicrobial susceptibility and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results indicated that 144 out of 744 (19.35%) yak fecal samples were tested to be positive for C. perfringens, 75% (n = 108, 108/144) were C. perfringens type A, 17.36% (n = 25, 25/144) were C. perfringens type C, 2.78% (n = 4, 4/144) were C. perfringens type D, and 4.86% (n = 7, 7/144) were C. perfringens type F. In addition, 2.78% (n = 4, 4/144) of the isolates were positive for cpb2 toxin gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that 98.61% (142/144) of the isolates showed multiple-antibiotic resistance. According to MLST and phylogenetic tree, 144 yak-derived C. perfringens isolates had an average of 12.95 alleles and could be divided into 89 sequence types (STs) and clustered in 11 clonal complexes (CCs). The most of isolates belong to type A with a considerable genetic diversity, having Simpson index up to 0.9754. MLST and phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolates under the same clade came from multiple regions. Cross-transmission among isolates and interconnectedness were observed in the genetic evolution. According to the study, the most of the isolates exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial resistance, diverse alleles, and multiple lethal toxin genes of C. perfringens.

Complete genomic sequence and analysis of β2 toxin gene mapping of Clostridium perfringens JXJA17 isolated from piglets in China.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens (Cp) is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals in the natural environment and animal intestines. The pathogenicity of Cp depends on the production of toxins encoded by genes on the chromosomes or plasmids. In contemporary literature, there is no clear consensus about the pathogenicity of CpA β2 toxin. To analyze the homology of the genome of piglet source CpA and its β2 toxin, we sequenced the whole genome of strain JXJA17 isolated from diarrhea piglets using the Illumina Miseq and Pacbio Sequel platforms. The genome was composed of a circular chromosome with 3,324,072 bp (G + C content: 28.51%) and nine plasmids. Genome and 16S rDNA homology analysis revealed a close relation of the JXJA17 strain with the JGS1495, Cp-06, Cp-16, and FORC_003 strains. These strains were isolated from different samples and belonged to different toxin-types. JXJA17 strain was found to carry two toxin genes (plc and cpb2). In contrast to other Cp strains, the cpb2 of JXJA17 was located on a large plasmid (58 kb) with no co-localization of other toxin genes or antibiotic resistance genes. Analysis of JXJA17 genome homology and its cpb2 would facilitate our further study the relationship between β2 toxin and piglet diarrhea.

Clostridium perfringens Virulent Bacteriophage CPS2 and Its Thermostable Endolysin LysCPS2.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens is one of the most common causes of food-borne illness. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria requires the development of alternatives to typical antimicrobial treatments. Here, we isolated and characterized a C. perfringens-specific virulent bacteriophage CPS2 from chicken feces. The CPS2 phage contains a 17,961 bp double-stranded DNA genome with 25 putative ORFs, and belongs to the Picovirinae, subfamily of Podoviridae. Bioinformatic analysis of the CPS2 genome revealed a putative endolysin, LysCPS2, which is homologous to the endolysin of Clostridium phage phiZP2 and phiCP7R. The enzyme showed strong lytic activity against C. perfringens with optimum conditions at pH 7.5⁻10, 25⁻65 °C, and over a broad range of NaCl concentrations. Interestingly, LysCPS2 was found to be highly thermostable, with up to 30% of its lytic activity remaining after 10 min of incubation at 95 °C. The cell wall binding domain in the C-terminal region of LysCPS2 showed a binding spectrum specific to C. perfringens strains. This is the first report to characterize highly thermostable endolysin isolated from virulent C. perfringens bacteriophage. The enzyme can be used as an alternative biocontrol and detection agent against C. perfringens.

Plant-expressed bacteriophage lysins control pathogenic strains of Clostridium perfringens.

Project description:The anaerobic spore-forming bacterium Clostridium perfringens is a source of one of the most common food-borne illnesses in the United States and Europe. The costs associated with disease management are high and interventions are limited; therefore, effective and safe antimicrobials are needed to control food contamination by C. perfringens. A viable solution to this problem could be bacteriophage lysins used as food additives or food processing aids. Such antimicrobials could be produced cost-effectively and in ample supply in green plants. By using edible plant species as production hosts the need for expensive product purification can be reduced or obviated. We describe the first successful expression in plants of C. perfringens-specific bacteriophage lysins. We demonstrate that six lysins belonging to two different families (N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase and glycosyl hydrolase 25) are active against a panel of enteropathogenic C. perfringens strains under salinity and acidity conditions relevant to food preparation environments. We also demonstrate that plant-expressed lysins prevent multiplication of C. perfringens on cooked meat matrices far better than nisin, the only currently approved bacteriocin food preservative to control this pathogen.
