African Clade

ABSTRACT Candida auris is a pathogen of considerable public health importance. It was first reported in 2009. Five clades, determined by genomic analysis and named by the distinct regions where they were initially identified, have been defined. We previously completed a draft genome sequence of an African clade (clade III) strain cultured from the urine of a patient hospitalized in the greater Houston metropolitan region (strain LOM). Although initially uncommon, reports of the African clade in the United States have grown to include a recent cluster in California. Here, we describe a second human C. auris infection in the Houston area. Whole-genome sequence analysis demonstrated the Houston patient isolates to be clonally related to one another but distantly related to other African clade organisms recovered in the United States or elsewhere. Infections in these patients were present on admission to the hospital and occurred several months apart. Taken together, the data demonstrate the emergence and persistence of a clonal C. auris population and highlights the importance of routine high-resolution genomic surveillance of emerging human pathogens in the clinical laboratory.

ABSTRACT Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida is a causative bacterium of fish pasteurellosis, which has caused serious economic damage to aquaculture farms worldwide. Here, the whole-genome sequence of P. damselae subsp. piscicida 91-197, isolated in the United States, suggests that this genome consists of two chromosomes and two plasmids.

ABSTRACTThe speciesXanthomonas oryzaeis comprised of two designated pathovars, both of which cause economically significant diseases of rice in Asia and Africa. AlthoughX. oryzaeis not considered endemic in the United States, anX. oryzae-like bacterium was isolated from U.S. rice and southern cutgrass in the late 1980s. The U.S. strains were weakly pathogenic and genetically distinct from characterizedX. oryzaepathovars. In the current study, a draft genome sequence from two U.S.Xanthomonasstrains revealed that the U.S. strains form a novel clade within theX. oryzaespecies, distinct from all strains known to cause significant yield loss. Comparative genome analysis revealed several putative gene clusters specific to the U.S. strains and supported previous reports that the U.S. strains lack transcriptional activator-like (TAL) effectors. In addition to phylogenetic and comparative analyses, the genome sequence was used for designing robust U.S. strain-specific primers, demonstrating the usefulness of a draft genome sequence in the rapid development of diagnostic tools.
