Project description:Although the major food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni has been isolated from diverse animal, human and environmental sources, our knowledge of genomic diversity in C. jejuni is based exclusively on human or human food-chain-associated isolates. Studies employing multilocus sequence typing have indicated that some clonal complexes are more commonly associated with particular sources. Using comparative genomic hybridization on a collection of 80 isolates representing diverse sources and clonal complexes, we identified a separate clade comprising a group of water/wildlife isolates of C. jejuni with multilocus sequence types uncharacteristic of human food-chain-associated isolates. By genome sequencing one representative of this diverse group (C. jejuni 1336), and a representative of the bank-vole niche specialist ST-3704 (C. jejuni 414), we identified deletions of genomic regions normally carried by human food-chain-associated C. jejuni. Several of the deleted regions included genes implicated in chicken colonization or in virulence. Novel genomic insertions contributing to the accessory genomes of strains 1336 and 414 were identified. Comparative analysis using PCR assays indicated that novel regions were common but not ubiquitous among the water/wildlife group of isolates, indicating further genomic diversity among this group, whereas all ST-3704 isolates carried the same novel accessory regions. While strain 1336 was able to colonize chicks, strain 414 was not, suggesting that regions specifically absent from the genome of strain 414 may play an important role in this common route of Campylobacter infection of humans. We suggest that the genomic divergence observed constitutes evidence of adaptation leading to niche specialization.

Project description:Oligonucleotide DNA microarrays were used as a platform to compare C. jejuni isolates from feedlot cattle and human clinical cases from Alberta. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis was performed on 87 isolates (46 bovine, 41 human) obtained within the same geographical regions and time frame. In addition, We also performed gene association analysis to determine if any genes may be differentially distributed between human and cattle sources or between clusters dominated by either human or cattle isolates (“human enriched” vs “cattle enriched”).

Project description:Salmonella enterica variants exhibit diverse host adaptation, outcome of infection, and associated risk to humans. Analysis of 6,335 Salmonella isolates recovered from integrated human-animal surveillance in Emilia Romagna region, Northern Italy, (human population ca 4,500,000), from 2012 to 2017 showed that Salmonella enterica serovar Derby constitutes a swine associated serovar in this epidemiological context while representing also a significant causative agent of human infections. Comparison of the distribution of subtypes of Salmonella Derby from human and swine identified isolates with a distinct PFGE profile that were significantly less isolated in human infections than in swine infections compared to all other subtypes. Here we show that isolates with this PFGE profile form a distinct phylogenetic sub-clade within Salmonella Derby and exhibit a marked reduction in invasion and replication in human epithelial cells but a relatively small reduction in swine epithelial cells, in line with the epidemiological evidence. A single missense mutation in hilD, that encodes the master-regulator of the Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 (SPI-1), was identified in this lineage of Salmonella Derby. Since SPI-1 encodes for a primary system of Salmonella invasion into epithelial cells, we investigated the role of the observed mutation in detail. We demonstrated that the missense mutation results in a loss of function of HilD that accounts for the reduced invasion and replication in human epithelial cells while showing a relatively small impact on the interaction with swine cells. This finding is suggestive of a mechanism of invasion alternative to SPI-1 in the Salmonella-swine combination

Project description:A collection of 61 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) of animal and human origin, matched as closely as possible by phage type, antimicrobial resistance pattern and place / time of isolation, and sourced from farms or hospitals in Scotland, were analysed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, phage typing, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), plasmid profiling and DNA microarrays. PFGE of all 61 isolates revealed ten PFGE profiles, which clustered by phage type and antibiotic resistance pattern, with human and animal isolates distributed between PFGE profiles. Analysis of 23 representative S. Typhimurium strains hybridised to a composite Salmonella DNA microarray identified a small number of specific regions of genome variation between different phage types and PFGE profiles. These variable regions of DNA were typically located within prophage-like elements. Simple PCR assays were subsequently designed to discriminate between different isolates from the same geographical region.

Project description:We report a novel, peptide identification-free shotgun proteomics workflow as a bacterial fingerprinting method. This method uses a similarity-clustering algorithm to segregate the mass spectra that are presumably derived from individual peptide speciess and merge them into discrete units of consensus spectra that comprise the proteomic fingerprints of the bacterial isolates being investigated. The novel method was compared to a traditional peptide identification-based shotgun proteomics workflow and a commonly used PCR-DNA fingerprinting technique for performance benchmarking in differentiating 73 isolates of E. coli by their animal sources (human, cow, dog, and pig). The fingerprints generated using by the novel method were richer in information, more discriminative in separating the E. coli isolates by animal sources, and more accurate in classifying query isolates to the correct animal sources . Our data suggest that, by taking a snapshot of the system-wide expression of bacterial cells and circumventing peptide identification, the novel method generated fingerprints that not only reflected the adaptation of E. coli to different animal hosts more precisely than PCR-DNA fingerprinting but also constituted a fuller representation of the bacterial cells' proteomes than traditional shotgun proteomics.

Project description:A comparative genomic approach was used to identify large sequence polymorphisms among Mycobacterium avium isolates obtained from a variety of host species. DNA microarrays were used as a platform for comparing mycobacteria field isolates with the sequenced bovine isolate Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) K10. ORFs were classified as present or divergent based on the relative fluorescent intensities of the experimental samples compared to Map K10 DNA. Map isolates cultured from cattle, bison, sheep, goat, avian, and human sources were hybridized to the Map microarray. Three large deletions were observed in the genomes of four Map isolates obtained from sheep and four clusters of ORFs homologous to sequences in the Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium (Maa) 104 genome were identified as being present in these isolates. One of these clusters encodes glycopeptidolipid biosynthesis enzymes. One of the Map sheep isolates had a genome profile similar to a group of Mycobacterium avium subsp. silvaticum (Mas) isolates which included four independent laboratory stocks of the organism traditionally identified as Maa strain 18. Genome diversity in Map appears to be mostly restricted to large sequence polymorphisms that are often associated with mobile genetic elements. Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridization
