Complete Genome Sequence of a Polish Enterococcus faecalis vanA-Positive Hospital Isolate.

ABSTRACT: Enterococcus faecalis is an important human pathogen involved in health care-associated infections, and its increasing resistance to vancomycin is worrisome. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Polish hospital vanA-positive isolate of E. faecalis, consisting of a 3,264,821-bp chromosome and six plasmids.

VanA-Enterococcus faecalis in Poland: hospital population clonal structure and vanA mobilome.

Project description:The aim of our study was to characterize the epidemiological situation concerning nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis of VanA-phenotype (VREfs-VanA) in Poland by investigating their clonal relationships and the vanA-associated mobilome. One-hundred twenty-five clinical isolates of VREfs-VanA collected between 2004 and 2016 were studied by phenotypic assays, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), PCR detection of plasmid-specific genes, and Tn1546 structure and localization mapping. Selected isolates were subjected to PFGE-S1, Southern hybridization, genomic sequencing and conjugation experiments. The majority of isolates (97.6%) belonged to clonal complexes CC2 and CC87 of E. faecalis. All isolates were resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin, and resistance to ciprofloxacin and aminoglycosides (high level) was very prevalent in this group. VanA phenotype was associated with 16 types of Tn1546, carrying insertion sequences IS1216, ISEfa4, IS1251 and IS1542, located on repUS1pVEF1, rep1pIP501, rep2pRE25, rep9pAD1/pTEF2/pCF10 and rep6pS86 replicons. The most common Tn1546 B- and BB-type transposons, harbouring one or two copies of IS1216, were inserted between rep18ap200B and repUS1pVEF1 genes and located on ~ 20 kb and 150-200 kb plasmids. VREfs-VanA in Poland represent a polyclonal group, indicating a number of acquisitions of the vanA determinant. The repUS1pVEF1-vanA plasmids, unique for Poland, were the main factor beyond the acquisition of vancomycin resistance by E. faecalis, circulating in Polish hospitals.

Complete Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis Siphophage Sigurd.

Project description:Enterococcus faecalis is associated with antibiotic-resistant infections, and this study presents E. faecalis siphophage Sigurd. The 41,811-bp Sigurd genome is divided into two arms defined by long convergent predicted transcription units that are separated by a bidirectional rho-independent terminator. Sigurd has a small terminase that is closely related to Bacillus subtilis cos phage phi105.

Complete genome sequence of bacteriophage BC-611 specifically infecting Enterococcus faecalis strain NP-10011.

Project description:Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections in humans and animals and is also an important bacterium for dairy and probiotic supplement production. Therefore, bacteriophages infecting E. faecalis may be useful for phage therapy against multidrug-resistant strains or may threaten industrial fermentation. We isolated a virulent Siphoviridae bacteriophage, BC-611, specifically infecting E. faecalis strain NP-10011 but not infecting other E. faecalis strains or other enterococci. Although the genome sequence of BC-611 resembled that of enterococcal bacteriophage SAP6, BC-611 was marked by its narrow host specificity.
