Bacterial Spot Disease

Xanthomonas axonopodispv. citrumelo is a citrus pathogen causing citrus bacterial spot disease that is geographically restricted within the state of Florida. Illumina, 454 sequencing, and optical mapping were used to obtain a complete genome sequence ofX. axonopodispv. citrumelo strain F1, 4.9 Mb in size. The strain lacks plasmids, in contrast to other citrusXanthomonaspathogens. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that this pathogen is very close to the tomato bacterial spot pathogenX. campestrispv. vesicatoria 85-10, with a completely different host range. We also comparedX. axonopodispv. citrumelo to the genome of citrus canker pathogenX. axonopodispv. citri 306. Comparative genomic analysis showed differences in several gene clusters, like those for type III effectors, the type IV secretion system, lipopolysaccharide synthesis, and others. In addition topthA, effectors such asxopE3, xopAI, andhrpWwere absent fromX. axonopodispv. citrumelo while present inX. axonopodispv. citri. These effectors might be responsible for survival and the low virulence of this pathogen on citrus compared to that ofX. axonopodispv. citri. We also identified unique effectors inX. axonopodispv. citrumelo that may be related to the different host range as compared to that ofX. axonopodispv. citri.X. axonopodispv. citrumelo also lacks various genes, such assyrE1, syrE2, and RTX toxin family genes, which were present inX. axonopodispv. citri. These may be associated with the distinct virulences ofX. axonopodispv. citrumelo andX. axonopodispv. citri. Comparison of the complete genome sequence ofX. axonopodispv. citrumelo to those ofX. axonopodispv. citri andX. campestrispv. vesicatoria provides valuable insights into the mechanism of bacterial virulence and host specificity.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus mutans 27-3. Isolated from a caries-active patient, 27-3 produces significantly more extracellular membrane vesicles than the commonly used laboratory strain UA159. This study provides useful information for comparative genomic analysis and better understanding of regulation of vesiculogenesis in this bacterium.

Complete genome resequencing was conducted for Thermus thermophilus strain TMY by hybrid assembly of Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read and MGI short-read data. Errors in the previously reported genome sequence determined by PacBio technology alone were corrected, allowing for high-quality comparative genomic analysis of closely related T. thermophilus genomes.

ABSTRACT Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a leading cause of moderate to severe diarrhea among young children in developing countries, and EPEC isolates can be subdivided into two groups. Typical EPEC (tEPEC) bacteria are characterized by the presence of both the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) and the plasmid-encoded bundle-forming pilus (BFP), which are involved in adherence and translocation of type III effectors into the host cells. Atypical EPEC (aEPEC) bacteria also contain the LEE but lack the BFP. In the current report, we describe the complete genome of outbreak-associated aEPEC isolate E110019, which carries four plasmids. Comparative genomic analysis demonstrated that the type III secreted effector EspT gene, an autotransporter gene, a hemolysin gene, and putative fimbrial genes are all carried on plasmids. Further investigation of 65 espT-containing E. coli genomes demonstrated that different espT alleles are associated with multiple plasmids that differ in their overall gene content from the E110019 espT-containing plasmid. EspT has been previously described with respect to its role in the ability of E110019 to invade host cells. While other type III secreted effectors of E. coli have been identified on insertion elements and prophages of the chromosome, we demonstrated in the current study that the espT gene is located on multiple unique plasmids. These findings highlight a role of plasmids in dissemination of a unique E. coli type III secreted effector that is involved in host invasion and severe diarrheal illness.
