Complete Genome Sequence Analysis of a Newcastle Disease Virus Isolated from a Wild Egret

We report here the complete genomic sequence of a novel Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain, egret/China/Guangxi/2011, isolated from an egret in Guangxi Province, southern China. A phylogenetic analysis based on a fusion gene comparison with different NDV strains revealed that egret/China/Guangxi/2011 was phylogenetically close to genotype VIIa NDV, and the deduced amino acid sequence was ¹¹²R-R-R-K-R-F¹¹⁷ at the fusion protein cleavage site. The whole nucleotide sequence had the highest homology (93.3%) with the sequence of strain chicken/Sukorejo/019/10 (GenBank accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"HQ697255","term_id":"359358674","term_text":"HQ697255"}}HQ697255). This study will help us to understand the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of Newcastle disease virus in a migratory egret.     

Extensive homologous recombination in classical swine fever virus: A re-evaluation of homologous recombination events in the strain AF407339

In this short report, the genome-wide homologous recombination events were re-evaluated for classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF407339","term_id":"15488012","term_text":"AF407339"}}AF407339. We challenged a previous study which suggested only one recombination event in {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF407339","term_id":"15488012","term_text":"AF407339"}}AF407339 based on 25 CSFV genomes. Through our re-analysis on the 25 genomes in the previous study and the 41 genomes used in the present study, we argued that there should be possibly at least two clear recombination events happening in {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF407339","term_id":"15488012","term_text":"AF407339"}}AF407339 through genome-wide scanning. The reasons for identifying only one recombination event in the previous study might be due to the limited number of available CSFV genome sequences at that time and the limited usage of detection methods. In contrast, as identified by most detection methods using all available CSFV genome sequences, two major recombination events were found at the starting and ending zones of the genome {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF407339","term_id":"15488012","term_text":"AF407339"}}AF407339, respectively. The first one has two parents {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF333000","term_id":"13383931","term_text":"AF333000"}}AF333000 (minor) and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AY554397","term_id":"49860681","term_text":"AY554397"}}AY554397 (major) with beginning and ending breakpoints located at 19 and 607 nt of the genome respectively. The second one has two parents {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AF531433","term_id":"22347661","term_text":"AF531433"}}AF531433 (minor) and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"GQ902941","term_id":"298113017","term_text":"GQ902941"}}GQ902941 (major) with beginning and ending breakpoints at 8397 and 11,078 nt of the genome respectively. Phylogenetic incongruence analysis using neighbor-joining algorithm with 1000 bootstrapping replicates further supported the existence of these two recombination events. In addition, we also identified additional 18 recombination events on the available CSFV strains. Some of them may be trivial and can be ignored. In conclusion, CSFV might have relatively high frequency of homologous recombination events. Genome-wide scanning of identifying recombination events should utilize multiple detection methods so as to reduce the risk of misidentification.     

Are Differences in Genomic Data Sets due to True Biological Variants or Errors in Genome Assembly: An Example from Two Chloroplast Genomes

DNA sequencing has been revolutionized by the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies. Plummeting costs and the massive throughput capacities of second and third generation sequencing platforms have transformed many fields of biological research. Concurrently, new data processing pipelines made rapid de novo genome assemblies possible. However, high quality data are critically important for all investigations in the genomic era. We used chloroplast genomes of one Oryza species (O. australiensis) to compare differences in sequence quality: one genome ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"GU592209","term_id":"290790694","term_text":"GU592209"}}GU592209) was obtained through Illumina sequencing and reference-guided assembly and the other genome ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"KJ830774","term_id":"662117268","term_text":"KJ830774"}}KJ830774) was obtained via target enrichment libraries and shotgun sequencing. Based on the whole genome alignment, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"GU592209","term_id":"290790694","term_text":"GU592209"}}GU592209 was more similar to the reference genome (O. sativa: {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AY522330","term_id":"42795537","term_text":"AY522330"}}AY522330) with 99.2% sequence identity (SI value) compared with the 98.8% SI values in the {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"KJ830774","term_id":"662117268","term_text":"KJ830774"}}KJ830774 genome; whereas the opposite result was obtained when the SI values in coding and noncoding regions of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"GU592209","term_id":"290790694","term_text":"GU592209"}}GU592209 and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"KJ830774","term_id":"662117268","term_text":"KJ830774"}}KJ830774 were compared. Additionally, the junctions of two single copies and repeat copies in the chloroplast genome exhibited differences. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using these sequences, and the different data sets yielded dissimilar topologies: phylogenetic replacements of the two individuals were remarkably different based on whole genome sequencing or SNP data and insertions and deletions (indels) data. Thus, we concluded that the genomic composition of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"GU592209","term_id":"290790694","term_text":"GU592209"}}GU592209 was heterogeneous in coding and non-coding regions. These findings should impel biologists to carefully consider the quality of sequencing and assembly when working with next-generation data.

Novel Variant Serotype of Streptococcus suis Isolated from Piglets with Meningitis

Streptococcus suis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen causing severe infections in pigs and humans. In previous studies, 33 serotypes of S. suis have been identified using serum agglutination. Here, we describe a novel S. suis strain, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302, isolated from an outbreak of acute piglet meningitis in eastern China. Strong pathogenicity of meningitis caused by strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302 was reproduced in the BALB/c mouse model. The strain showed a high fatality rate (8/10), higher than those for known virulent serotype 2 strains P1/7 (1/10) and 9801 (2/10). Cell adhesion assay results with bEnd.3 and HEp2 cells showed that {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302 was significantly close to P1/7 and 9801. Both the agglutination test and its complementary test showed that strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302 had no strong cross-reaction with the other 33 S. suis serotypes. The multiplex PCR assays revealed no specified bands for all four sets used to detect the other 33 serotypes. In addition, genetic analysis of the whole cps gene clusters of all serotypes was performed in this study. The results of comparative genomics showed that the cps gene cluster of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302, which was not previously reported, showed no homology to the gene sequences of the other strains. Especially, the wzy, wzx, and acetyltransferase genes of strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302 are phylogenetically distinct from strains of the other 33 serotypes. Therefore, this study suggested that strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CZ130302","term_id":"57728550","term_text":"CZ130302"}}CZ130302 represents a novel variant serotype of S. suis (designated serotype Chz) which has a high potential to be virulent and associated with meningitis in animals.     

Complete Genome of a Porcine Calicivirus Strain in Anhui Province,China, Is Significantly Shorter than That of the Other Chinese Strain

Caliciviruses that cause diarrhea have been reported in both industrial and developing countries, including China, in recent years. Here, we report the complete genome of a porcine calicivirus strain, Ah-1, which is prevalent in swine groups in Anhui Province. This viral genome is 7,342 nucleotides (nt) long, excluding the poly(A) of the 3′ end, which is 202 nt shorter in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) than that of the other Chinese porcine calicivirus strain (Ch-sw-sav1; GenBank accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"FJ387164","term_id":"227976393","term_text":"FJ387164"}}FJ387164), previously isolated in the Shanghai area, China, though they shared 98.8% sequence identity over the whole genome excluding the 202-nt-shorter region.

Genomic Basis of a Polyagglutinating Isolate of Neisseria meningitidis

Containment strategies for outbreaks of invasive Neisseria meningitidis disease are informed by serogroup assays that characterize the polysaccharide capsule. We sought to uncover the genomic basis of conflicting serogroup assay results for an isolate ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917) from a patient with acute meningococcal disease. To this end, we characterized the complete genome sequence of the {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917 isolate and performed a variety of comparative sequence analyses against N. meningitidis reference genome sequences of known serogroups. Multilocus sequence typing and whole-genome sequence comparison revealed that {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917 is a member of the ST-11 sequence group, which is most often associated with serogroup C. However, sequence similarity comparisons and phylogenetic analysis showed that the serogroup diagnostic capsule polymerase gene (synD) of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917 belongs to serogroup B. These results suggest that a capsule-switching event occurred based on homologous recombination at or around the capsule locus of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917. Detailed analysis of this locus uncovered the locations of recombination breakpoints in the {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M16917","term_id":"167250","term_text":"M16917"}}M16917 genome sequence, which led to the introduction of an ∼2-kb serogroup B sequence cassette into the serogroup C genomic background. Since there is no currently available vaccine for serogroup B strains of N. meningitidis, this kind capsule-switching event could have public health relevance as a vaccine escape mutant.     

Discovery of an Endosymbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Cyanobacterium UCYN-A in Braarudosphaera bigelowii (Prymnesiophyceae)

Braarudosphaera bigelowii (Prymnesiophyceae) is a coastal coccolithophore with a long fossil record, extending back to the late Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma). A recent study revealed close phylogenetic relationships between B. bigelowii, Chrysochromulina parkeae (Prymnesiophyceae), and a prymnesiophyte that forms a symbiotic association with the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A. In order to further examine these relationships, we conducted transmission electron microscopic and molecular phylogenetic studies of B. bigelowii. TEM studies showed that, in addition to organelles, such as the nucleus, chloroplasts and mitochondria, B. bigelowii contains one or two spheroid bodies with internal lamellae. In the 18S rDNA tree of the Prymnesiophyceae, C. parkeae fell within the B. bigelowii clade, and was close to B. bigelowii Genotype III (99.89% similarity). Plastid 16S rDNA sequences obtained from B. bigelowii were close to the unidentified sequences from the oligotrophic SE Pacific Ocean (e.g. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"HM133411","term_id":"311035799","term_text":"HM133411"}}HM133411) (99.86% similarity). Bacterial16S rDNA sequences obtained from B. bigelowii were identical to the UCYN-A sequence {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AY621693","term_id":"54125940","term_text":"AY621693"}}AY621693 from Arabian Sea, and fell in the UCYN-A clade. From these results, we suggest that; 1) C. parkeae is the alternate life cycle stage of B. bigelowii sensu stricto or that of a sibling species of B. bigelowii, and 2) the spheroid body of B. bigelowii originated from endosymbiosis of the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A.     

Small molecule sensitization to TRAIL is mediated via nuclear localization,phosphorylation and inhibition of chaperone activity of Hsp27

The small chaperone protein Hsp27 confers resistance to apoptosis, and therefore is an attractive anticancer drug target. We report here a novel mechanism underlying the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) sensitizing activity of the small molecule {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511, an inactive analog of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor inhibitor {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY294002","term_id":"1257998346","term_text":"LY294002"}}LY294002, in HeLa cells that are refractory to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. On the basis of the fact that {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511 is derived from {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY294002","term_id":"1257998346","term_text":"LY294002"}}LY294002, itself derived from quercetin, and earlier findings indicating that quercetin and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY294002","term_id":"1257998346","term_text":"LY294002"}}LY294002 affected Hsp27 expression, we investigated whether {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511 sensitized cancer cells to TRAIL via a conserved inhibitory effect on Hsp27. We provide evidence that upon treatment with {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511, Hsp27 is progressively sequestered in the nucleus, thus reducing its protective effect in the cytosol during the apoptotic process. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511-induced nuclear translocation of Hsp27 is linked to its sustained phosphorylation via activation of p38 kinase and MAPKAP kinase 2 and the inhibition of PP2A. Furthermore, Hsp27 phosphorylation leads to the subsequent dissociation of its large oligomers and a decrease in its chaperone activity, thereby further compromising the death inhibitory activity of Hsp27. Furthermore, genetic manipulation of Hsp27 expression significantly affected the TRAIL sensitizing activity of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511, which corroborated the Hsp27 targeting activity of {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"LY303511","term_id":"1257646067","term_text":"LY303511"}}LY303511. Taken together, these data indicate a novel mechanism of small molecule sensitization to TRAIL through targeting of Hsp27 functions, rather than its overall expression, leading to decreased cellular protection, which could have therapeutic implications for overcoming chemotherapy resistance in tumor cells.     

Comparative Screening of Digestion Tract Toxic Genes in Proteus mirabilis

Proteus mirabilis is a common urinary tract pathogen, and may induce various inflammation symptoms. Its notorious ability to resist multiple antibiotics and to form urinary tract stones makes its treatment a long and painful process, which is further challenged by the frequent horizontal gene transferring events in P. mirabilis genomes. Three strains of P. mirabilis {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"C02011","term_id":"1434241"}}C02011/{"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"C04010","term_id":"1467261"}}C04010/C04013 were isolated from a local outbreak of a food poisoning event in Shenzhen, China. Our hypothesis is that new genes may have been acquired horizontally to exert the digestion tract infection and toxicity. The functional characterization of these three genomes shows that each of them independently acquired dozens of virulent genes horizontally from the other microbial genomes. The representative strain {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"C02011","term_id":"1434241"}}C02011 induces the symptoms of both vomit and diarrhea, and has recently acquired a complete type IV secretion system and digestion tract toxic genes from the other bacteria.     

Streptomyces antibioticalis, a Novel Species from a Sanitary Landfill Soil

A novel isolate belonging to the genus Streptomyces, strain SL-4^T, was isolated from soil sample collected from a sanitary landfill, New Delhi, India. The taxonomic status of this isolate was studied by polyphasic approach including morphological, physiological and chemo-taxonomic characterization. Spore chains of SL-4^T were open loops, hooks or extended spirals of wide diameter (retinaculiperti). The cell wall peptidoglycan of the isolate SL-4^T contained L,L-diaminopimelic acid, suggesting that the strain has a cell wall of chemotype-I. The polar lipid profile of the isolate was of Type II, with phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The 16SrRNA gene sequence similarity between SL-4^T and its phylogenetic relatives Streptomyces atrovirens NRRLB 16357^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"DQ026672","term_id":"68137786","term_text":"DQ026672"}}DQ026672), S. albogriseolus NRRLB 1305^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AJ494865","term_id":"21742835","term_text":"AJ494865"}}AJ494865), S viridodiastaticus NBRC 13106^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AB184317","term_id":"90960133","term_text":"AB184317"}}AB184317), S. caelestis NRRL 2418^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"X80824","term_id":"587528","term_text":"X80824"}}X80824), S. flavoviridis NBRC 12772^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AB184842","term_id":"90960663","term_text":"AB184842"}}AB184842), S. pilosus NBRC 12807^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AB184161","term_id":"90959977","term_text":"AB184161"}}AB184161) and S. longispororuber NBRC 13488^T ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AB184440","term_id":"90960256","term_text":"AB184440"}}AB184440) was 99.65, 99.65, 99.64, 99.23, 99.15, 99.14 and 99.13 % respectively. Subsequent DNA–DNA hybridization experiments with the test strain and its clade members showed 55.27, 44.27, 36.86, and 15.65 % relatedness between SL-4^T and its relatives S. atrovirens,S. albogriseolus, S. viridodiastaticus and S. longispororuber respectively. The genotypic and phenotypic data was analyzed to verify possibility of the isolate SL-4^T representing novel member of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name S. antibioticalis is being proposed. The type strain is SL-4^T (=CCM 7434^T=MTCC 8588^T).     

Complete Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum JDM1

Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) species commonly used as a probiotic. We have sequenced the genome of Lactobacillus plantarum JDM1, which is a Chinese commercial LAB with several probiotic functions, using a GS 20 system. We recommend that each commercial probiotic strain should undergo complete genome sequencing to ensure safety and stability.Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a prominent role in the world food supply, performing the main bioconversions in fermented food, and are also used as probiotic supplements in dairy products and other foods. Lactobacillus plantarum is a LAB species commonly used as a probiotic. We have sequenced the genome of Lactobacillus plantarum JDM1, which is a widely used Chinese commercial LAB with several probiotic functions, using a GS 20 system (454 Life Science Corporation) (11). Two hundred thirty-six thousand, five hundred sixty-three high-quality reads were assembled with the 454 assembly tool, which had an average depth of 18.6-fold coverage of the genome and yielded 367 contigs. Among these, 225 large contigs represented 99.17% of the draft sequence. In the finishing process, the order of the selected large contigs was determined by BLAST analysis with the originally published genome sequence of strain WCFS1 (GenBank accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AL935263","term_id":"342240345","term_text":"AL935263"}}AL935263) (8). Physical gaps were filled through sequencing of PCR products that spanned these regions using ABI 3730 xl DNA sequencers. Sequence assembly was accomplished by using the Phred/Phrap/Consed software package (4, 7). To ensure final accuracy, the errors in homopolymer sites that arose from the pyrosequencing method were solved via comparison with the corresponding sites on WCFS1 and then resequencing of the ambiguous bases using the ABI 3730 xl DNA sequencer.The complete genome of Lactobacillus plantarum JDM1 contains a single, circular chromosome of 3,197,759 bp and two plasmids (pLP2000 [2,062 bp] and pLP9000 [9,254 bp]). The two plasmids have been sequenced and published, with GenBank accession numbers {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AY096004","term_id":"20853777","term_text":"AY096004"}}AY096004 and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AY096005","term_id":"20853804","term_text":"AY096005"}}AY096005 (3). The overall GC content of the chromosome is 44.66%, whereas the plasmids have a GC content slightly lower than that of the chromosome. The entire genome of JDM1 contains 2,948 protein-coding genes, 62 tRNA-encoding genes, and 16 rRNA-encoding genes. Several repeated sequences, designated ISP2, were found in the chromosome which were almost the same as those in WCSF1, identified as a class of transposase-encoding regions representing mobile genetic elements. The other repeated sequence, ISP1 of WCSF1, was absent in JDM1.The entire genomic sequence of L. plantarum JDM1 was a little shorter than that of L. plantarum WCSF1 (3.3 Mb). The two genomes were highly similar (>90% by BLASTN analysis) with respect to genome structure and gene order. Intraspecies diversity may be required for successful adaptation in a complex ecological habitat (2). L. plantarum JDM1 has been grown as a probiotic in rich nutritional medium for so long that the genome may have gradually contracted. As supporting evidence, many sugar transport and metabolism genes in WCFS1 were absent in JDM1.The prophage sequences and locations of JDM1 and WCFS1 are highly variable. L. plantarum JDM1 contains three prophage elements in its genome. R-Pg1, representing a short prophage remnant, is about 14 kb in size, which is similar to R-Lp3 in WCFS1. Pg2 and Pg3 are two ∼39-kb-long prophages that are closely related to Listeria phage B025 (accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"DQ003639","term_id":"66733223","term_text":"DQ003639"}}DQ003639) and the phage Pediococcus pentosaceus ATCC 25745 (accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CP000422","term_id":"116101968","term_text":"CP000422"}}CP000422), respectively.The genomes of LAB evolve actively to adapt to nutritionally rich environments. Even for two strains of the same species, differences obviously exist. The degradation of the genome appears to be an ongoing process not only in all species of Lactobacillus (10) but also in different strains of the same species(2).With the development of better living conditions, the biosafety of food and medicine has received more attention. Lactobacillus bacteria have been supposed to have a “generally accepted as safe” status, but they still have been associated with negative reports (1, 6, 9). More about the functional mechanisms of JDM1 and potential side effects would be explored by complete genome sequencing and data mining. Furthermore, comparative genomics analysis could be carried out with Chinese and European strains. We believe the complete genome of each probiotic strain should be sequenced to ensure safety and stability. At the end of the day, we will get what we pay for in terms of microbial genome sequencing projects (5).     

Detection of Naegleria species in environmental samples from Peninsular Malaysia

Background

In Malaysia, researchers and medical practitioners are unfamiliar with Naegleria infections. Thus little is known about the existence of pathogenic Naegleria fowleri, and the resultant primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is seldom included in the differential diagnosis of central nervous system infections. This study was conducted to detect the presence of Naegleria species in various environmental samples.

Methods/Findings

A total of 41 Naegleria-like isolates were isolated from water and dust samples. All these isolates were subjected to PCR using two primer sets designed from the ITS1-ITS2 regions. The N. fowleri species-specific primer set failed to produce the expected amplicon. The Naegleria genus-specific primers produced amplicons of 408 bp (35), 450 bp (2), 457 bp (2) or 381 bp (2) from all 41 isolates isolated from aquatic (33) and dust (8) samples. Analysis of the sequences from 10 representative isolates revealed that amplicons with fragments 408, 450 and 457 bp showed homology with non-pathogenic Naegleria species, and 381 bp showed homology with Vahlkampfia species. These results concurred with the morphological observation that all 39 isolates which exhibited flagella were Naegleria, while 2 isolates (AC7, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"JN034055","term_id":"347448982","term_text":"JN034055"}}JN034055 and AC8, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"JN034056","term_id":"347448983","term_text":"JN034056"}}JN034056) that did not exhibit flagella were Vahlkampfia species.

Conclusion

To date, pathogenic species of N. fowleri have not been isolated from Malaysia. All 39 isolates that produced amplicons (408, 450 and 457 bp) from the genus-specific primers were identified as being similar to nonpathogenic Naegleria. Amplicon 408 bp from 5 representative isolates showed 100% and 99.7% identity to Naegleria philippinensis isolate RJTM ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AM167890","term_id":"83423362","term_text":"AM167890"}}AM167890) and is thus believed to be the most common species in our environment. Amplicons 450 bp and 457 bp were respectively believed to be from 2 new species of Naegleria, since representative isolates showed lower homology and had a longer base pair length when compared to the reference species in the Genbank, Naegleria schusteri ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AJ566626","term_id":"37605481","term_text":"AJ566626"}}AJ566626) and Naegleria laresi ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AJ566630","term_id":"37605485","term_text":"AJ566630"}}AJ566630), respectively.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup C Clinical Isolates

Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen known for its capability to cause sepsis and meningitis. Here we report the availability of 2 draft genome sequences obtained from patients infected during the same epidemic outbreak. Both bacterial isolates belong to serogroup C, but their genome sequences show local and remarkable differences compared with each other or with the reference genome of strain FAM18.Neisseria meningitidis is found as a commensal organism of the human nasopharynx in 8 to 25% of the adult population (9), but sporadically, it is able to cross the mucosa and reach the bloodstream, causing severe septicemia and meningitis. Even though the reasons triggering these pathogenic outbreaks are not well understood, several factors related either to the host or the bacterium have been proposed 3, 8).So far, complete genome sequences for N. meningitidis serogroups A (strain Z2491 [GenBank accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AL157959","term_id":"30407145","term_text":"AL157959"}}AL157959]) (4), B (strain MC58 [GenBank accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AE002098","term_id":"66731897","term_text":"AE002098"}}AE002098]) (10), and C (strains FAM18, 8013, and 053442 [GenBank accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AM421808","term_id":"120865607","term_text":"AM421808"}}AM421808, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"FM999788","term_id":"261391559","term_text":"FM999788"}}FM999788, and {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"CP000381","term_id":"161594571","term_text":"CP000381"}}CP000381, respectively]) (1, 5, 6) have been reported, together with the unencapsulated strain α14 (GenBank accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"AM889136","term_id":"254667570","term_text":"AM889136"}}AM889136) (7). Here we announce the availability of 2 draft genome sequences for N. meningitidis serogroup C, strains K1207 and S0108, isolated from the same epidemic cluster which occurred in the Veneto region in northern Italy during the 2007-2008 winter (2).The genomes were sequenced using 454 pyrosequencing (Roche), combining shotgun and 30-kb paired-end strategies, according to the manufacturer''s recommendations. The coverage was nearly 27×, and assemblies were performed with Newbler. We obtained 223 and 226 contigs for the 2 genomes, which were finally mapped in 17 and 16 scaffolds, respectively. From both samples, we also isolated a 7-kb plasmid, whose sequence was nearly identical to that of pJS-B, already available in GenBank (accession no. {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NC_004758","term_id":"30250494","term_text":"NC_004758"}}NC_004758).The first analysis was performed by comparing sequences of the two isolates with the most similar complete genome available, strain FAM18. This analysis showed that the genome lengths were almost identical (about 2.2 Mb) and GC contents were comparable (51.91% in both isolates versus 51.62% of strain FAM18). Then, to identify potential differences in coding sequence content, the contigs obtained for both isolates were aligned with those for strain FAM18 using MEGABLAST (11) and LASTZ tools, which showed that in the genomes of the two N. meningitidis isolates, several genes were missing or nonfunctional because of the presence of insertions or deletions. For example, a couple of FAM18 outer membrane proteins (NMC0214 and NMC0215) were completely missing in both genomes, due to a 3-kb deletion, and no homologues were present in other genomic regions.Sequences that did not map on the genome of strain FAM18 were investigated by performing a BLAST analysis on a nonredundant database. Interestingly, besides genes or partial genes belonging to the other completely sequenced N. meningitidis serogroup C strain 053442, the genomes of our isolates contained coding sequences from N. meningitidis serogroups A and B, from other Neisseria species, such as N. gonorrhoeae, N. cinerea, and N. mucosa, and even from other bacterial species, such as cobyrinic acid ac-diamide synthase from Shewanella baltica, attesting once more to the great capability of horizontal gene transfer, which is peculiar to this microorganism.A detailed report of our two isolates will be included in a future publication, with the results of a full comparative analysis between the genomes.
