Genome Sequence of OXA-726-Encoding Aeromonas dhakensis Igbk (Sequence Type 1171) from an Edible Snail Traded in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: Aeromonas dhakensis is the most virulent Aeromonas species pathogenic to both animals and humans. The degree of its risk to health seems masked by misidentifications. We present the genome sequence of A. dhakensis Igbk (sequence type 1171), associated with snails, harboring the OXA-726 gene in the chromosome.

Project description:Aeromonas dhakensis is an emergent human pathogen with medical importance. This study was aimed to determine the sequence types (STs), genetic diversity, and phylogenetic relationships of different clinical sources of 47 A. dhakensis from Malaysia using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), goeBURST, and phylogenetic analyses. The analysis of a concatenated six-gene tree with a nucleotide length of 2994 bp based on six housekeeping genes (gyrB, groL, gltA, metG, ppsA, and recA) and independent analyses of single gene fragments was performed. MLST was able to group 47 A. dhakensis from our collection into 36 STs in which 34 STs are novel STs. The most abundant ST521 consisted of five strains from peritoneal fluid and two strains from stools. Comparison of 62 global A. dhakensis was carried out via goeBURST; 94.4% (34/36) of the identified STs are novel and unique in Malaysia. Two STs (111 and 541) were grouped into clonal complexes among our strains and 32 STs occurred as singletons. Single-gene phylogenetic trees showed varying topologies; groL and rpoD grouped all A. dhakensis into a tight-cluster with bootstrap values of 100% and 99%, respectively. A poor phylogenetic resolution encountered in single-gene analyses was buffered by the multilocus phylogenetic tree that offered high discriminatory power (bootstrap value = 100%) in resolving all A. dhakensis from A. hydrophila and delineating the relationship among other taxa. Genetic diversity analysis showed groL as the most conserved gene and ppsA as the most variable gene. This study revealed novel STs and high genetic diversity among clinical A. dhakensis from Malaysia.

Draft Genome Sequence of Aeromonas dhakensis, Isolated from a Patient with Fatal Necrotizing Fasciitis.

Project description:Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas dhakensis are ubiquitous in marine and aquatic environments. Both species, which cause significant skin and soft tissue infection, are often associated with water activities and floods. Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of A. dhakensis, isolated from a fatal case of necrotizing fasciitis.

Aeromonas dhakensis: Clinical Isolates with High Carbapenem Resistance.

Project description:Aeromonas dhakensis is ubiquitous in aquatic habitats and can cause life-threatening septicaemia in humans. However, limited data are available on their antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) profiles. Hence, we aimed to examine their AST patterns using clinical (n = 94) and non-clinical (n = 23) isolates with dehydrated MicroScan microdilution. Carbapenem resistant isolates were further screened for genes related to carbapenem resistance using molecular assay. The isolates exhibited resistance to imipenem (76.9%), doripenem (62.4%), meropenem (41.9%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (11.1%), cefotaxime (8.5%), ceftazidime (6%), cefepime (1.7%) and aztreonam (0.9%), whereas all isolates were susceptible to amikacin. Clinical isolates showed significant association with resistance to doripenem, imipenem and meropenem compared to non-clinical isolates. These blacphA were detected in clinical isolates with resistance phenotypes: doripenem (67.2%, 45/67), imipenem (65.9%, 54/82) and meropenem (65.2%, 30/46). Our findings showed that the MicroScan microdilution method is suitable for the detection of carbapenem resistance in both clinical (48.9-87.2%) and non-clinical (4.3-13.0%) isolates. This study revealed that A. dhakensis isolates had relatively high carbapenem resistance, which may lead to potential treatment failure. Continued monitoring of aquatic sources with a larger sample size should be carried out to provide further insights.

Aeromonas dhakensis: A Zoonotic Bacterium of Increasing Importance in Aquaculture.

Project description:Aeromonas dhakensis is increasingly recognised to be an important pathogen responsible for disease losses in warm-water aquaculture and, similar to several other Aeromonas species, it can infect humans. Knowledge of A. dhakensis is accumulating, but this species remains relatively under-investigated compared to its close relative, Aeromonas hydrophila. The significance of A. dhakensis may have been overlooked in disease events of aquatic animals due to issues with reliable identification. Critical to appreciating the importance of this pathogen is the application of dependable molecular tools that enable accurate identification and discrimination from A. hydrophila and other motile aeromonads. This review aims to synthesise the key literature on A. dhakensis, particularly with relevance to aquaculture, including knowledge of the bacterium derived from disease case studies in aquatic hosts. Identification methods and strain phylogeny are discussed, with accurate detection important for prompt diagnosis and for distinguishing strains with heightened virulence. Increasing evidence suggests that A. dhakensis may be more virulent than A. hydrophila and correct identification is required to determine the zoonotic risks posed, which includes concerns for antibiotic-resistant strains. This review provides an impetus to improve species identification in the future and screen strain collections of presumptive Aeromonas spp. retrospectively to reveal the true prevalence and impact of A. dhakensis in aquaculture, the environment, and healthcare settings.

UvrY is required for the full virulence of Aeromonas dhakensis.

Project description:Aeromonas dhakensis is an emerging human pathogen which causes fast and severe infections worldwide. Under the gradual pressure of lacking useful antibiotics, finding a new strategy against A. dhakensis infection is urgent. To understand its pathogenesis, we created an A. dhakensis AAK1 mini-Tn10 transposon library to study the mechanism of A. dhakensis infection. By using a Caenorhabditis elegans model, we established a screening platform for the purpose of identifying attenuated mutants. The uvrY mutant, which conferred the most attenuated toxicity toward C. elegans, was identified. The uvrY mutant was also less virulent in C2C12 fibroblast and mice models, in line with in vitro results. To further elucidate the mechanism of UvrY in controlling the toxicity in A. dhakensis, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis. The RNAseq results showed that the expression of a unique hemolysin ahh1 and other virulence factors were regulated by UvrY. Complementation of Ahh1, one of the most important virulence factors, rescued the pore-formation phenotype of uvrY mutant in C. elegans; however, complementation of ahh1 endogenous promoter-driven ahh1 could not produce Ahh1 and rescue the virulence in the uvrY mutant. These findings suggest that UvrY is required for the expression of Ahh1 in A. dhakensis. Taken together, our results suggested that UvrY controls several different virulence factors and is required for the full virulence of A. dhakensis. The two-component regulator UvrY therefore a potential therapeutic target which is worthy of further study.
