New genetic biomarkers to differentiate pathogenic and clinically relevant Bacillus cereus strains

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.

Novel inducible filamentous sliding motility identified in pathogenic Bacillus cereus group species

Project description:We isolated an atmospheric contaminant, subsequently identified as a new strain of Bacillus mobilis, which showed a novel, robust, inducible filamentous sliding motility and completely colonized a bacterial culture plate in less than 48 h under some conditions. This flagella-independent sliding motility was characterized by long filamentous cells at the expanding edge, and was induced when cells were inoculated onto lawns of metabolically inactive Campylobacter jejuni cells, heat killed bacterial biomass, and milk or blood dried onto agar plates. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), bacterial membrane components, and sterile human fecal extracts were sufficient to induce filamentous expansion. Screening of eight other Bacillus spp. (five from the B. cereus group and three other Bacillus spp.) showed that filamentous motility was conserved amongst B. cereus group species to varying degrees. RNAseq of filamentously expanding cells collected from PC and milk lawn plates in comparison to rod-shaped cells from control plates revealed that genes related to metabolism, ion and amino acid transport were differently regulated, genes controlling sporulation were reduced, and some virulence genes (e.g., hblA/B/C/D and plcR) were increased. We hypothesize that the robust and conserved nature of filamentous motility in pathogenic B. cereus group species can enhance bacterial colonization during host colonization.

Advancing a Clinically Relevant Perspective of the Clonal Nature of Cancer

Project description:We used DNA content-based flow cytometry to distinguish and isolate nuclei from clonal populations in primary tissues from three disparate cancers with variable clinical histories. We then developed a methodology to adapt flow cytometrically purified nuclei samples for use with whole genome technologies including aCGH and next generation sequencing (NGS). Our results demonstrate that selected aberrations in the genomes of distinct clonal populations in each patient create clinically relevant contexts at least with respect to the cancer types profiled in this study.

Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variations Detected in Cerebral Palsy

Project description:Cerebral palsy (CP) represents a group of non-progressive clinically heterogeneous disorders that are characterized by motor impairment and early age-of-onset, frequently accompanied by co-morbidities. The cause of CP has historically been attributed to environmental stressors resulting in brain damage. While genetic risk factors are also implicated, guidelines for diagnostic assessment of CP do not recommend for routine genetic testing. Given numerous reports of etiologic copy number variations (CNVs) in other neurodevelopmental disorders, we used microarrays to genotype a population-based prospective cohort of children with CP and their parents. Here we identify de novo CNVs in 8/115 (7.0%) CP patients (~1% rate in controls). In four children, large chromosomal abnormalities deemed pathogenic were found, and they were significantly more likely to have severe neuro-motor impairments than those CP subjects without such alterations. Overall the CNV data would have impacted our diagnosis or classification of CP in 11/115 (9.6%) families.

Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variations Detected in Cerebral Palsy. Nature Communications, 2015. Following our rigorous quality control procedure, we successfully genotyped 147 proband samples from individuals with cerebral palsy (81 males and 66 females) and 282 samples obtained from parents (134 males and 148 females). This facilitated the identification of de novo and rare inherited copy number variations of clinical interest.
