Pan-Genome Analysis of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio metschnikovii Strains Isolated From Migratory Birds at Dali Nouer Lake in Chifeng, China.

ABSTRACT: Migratory birds are recently recognized as Vibrio disease vectors, but may be widespread transporters of Vibrio strains. We isolated Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) and Vibrio metschnikovii (V. metschnikovii) strains from migratory bird epidemic samples from 2017 to 2018 and isolated V. metschnikovii from migratory bird feces in 2019 from bird samples taken from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region of China. To investigate the evolution of these two Vibrio species, we sequenced the genomes of 40 V. cholerae strains and 34 V. metschnikovii strains isolated from the bird samples and compared these genomes with reference strain genomes. The pan-genome of all V. cholerae and V. metschnikovii genomes was large, with strains exh
