Project description:We isolated an efficient doxycycline degrading strain Chryseobacterium sp. WX1. To investigate gene expression patterns during doxycyclinedegradation by strain WX1, we conducted a comparative transcriptomic analysis using cultures of strain WX1 with and without doxycycline addition. The RNA-Seq data revealed that 90.44-96.56% of the reads mapped to the genome of Chryseobacterium sp. WX1 across all samples. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis (|log2FC| >2; p < 0.01) showed that 693 genes were significantly up-regulated and 592 genes were significantly down-regulated.
Project description:In this study, we isolated a potent doxycycline-degrading bacterium, Chryseobacterium sp. WX1, from environmental samples. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying doxycycline degradation by strain WX1, we assessed and interpreted the proteomic profiles of Chryseobacterium sp. WX1 under conditions both with and without doxycycline exposure.

Project description:Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), caused by strains producing toxin B (TcdB), poses a significant global health threat. While C. difficile exhibits substantial diversity, functional studies have focused on a limited number of isolates, overlooking other genomospecies within the genus. We describe five isolates from patients suspected of having CDI who tested negative for the PaLoc marker gene tcdC. Through genomic, proteomic, and phenotypic analyses, we demonstrate that they correspond to three novel toxin-producing species, designated as Clostridioides cryptodifficilis sp. nov., Clostridioides divergens sp. nov., and Clostridioides subdifficilis sp. nov. These species are distinguished by unique MALDI-ToF signatures, metabolic capabilities, and genomic and proteomic architectures, underscoring their clear taxonomic and functional divergence from C. difficile. They secrete functionally active TcdB7 or TcdB11, as demonstrated by cytotoxicity assays in cultured cells and in vivo using the mouse ileal loop model, implicating them in disease pathology, albeit with lower virulence than C. difficile. Our findings expand the known diversity of TcdB-producing Clostridioides and have direct implications for diagnostics, surveillance, and clinical management of diarrheal diseases.
