Abstract
Streptococci form a wide group of bacteria and are involved in both human and animal pathologies. Among pathogenic isolates, differences have been highlighted especially concerning their adaptation and virulence profiles. CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified in bacteria and many streptococci harbor one or more systems, particularly subtypes I-C, II-A, and III-A. Since the demonstration that CRISPR-Cas act as an adaptive immune system in Streptococcus thermophilus, a lactic bacteria, the diversity and role of CRISPR-Cas were extended to many germs and functions were enlarged. Among those, the genome editing tool based on the properties of Cas endonucleases is used worldwide, and the recent attribution of the Nobel Prize illustrates the importance of this tool in the scientific world. Another application is CRISPR loci analysis, which allows to easily characterize isolates in order to understand the interactions of bacteria with their environment and visualize species evolution. In this review, we focused on the distribution, diversity and roles of CRISPR-Cas systems in the main pathogenic streptococci.

Abstract
Two strains (NLN63T and NLN82) of Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, bacilli-shaped organisms were isolated from the faecal samples of two separate Rattus norvegicus in Baisha county of Hainan Province, Southern PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the near full-length 16S rRNA sequences revealed that strain NLN63T belongs to the genus Pelistega, having maximum similarity to Pelistega suis CCUG 64465T (97.1 %), Pelistega europaea CCUG 39967T (96.2 %) and Pelistega indica DSM 27484T (96.2 %), respectively. The phylogenomic tree built on 553 core genes from genomes of 20 species in the genus Pelistega and other adjacent genera further confirmed that strains NLN63T and NLN82 form a distinct subline and exhibit specific phylogenetic affinity with P. europaea CCUG 39967T. In digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyses, strain NLN63T showed low estimated DNA reassociation values (21.4-22.6 %) with the type strains of the species in the genus Pelistega. The DNA G+C contents of strains NLN63T and NLN82 were 37.3 and 37.1 mol%, respectively. Strain NLN63T had a unique MALDI-TOF MS profile, contained Q-8 as the major quinone and C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c or both) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c or both) as the dominant fatty acids. Based upon these polyphasic characterization data obtained from the present study, a novel species of the genus Pelistega, Pelistega ratti sp. nov., is proposed with NLN63T (=GDMCC 1.1697T=JCM 33788T) as the type strain.

Abstract
Morbidity and mortality caused by infectious diseases rank first among all human illnesses. Many pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear, while misuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Infectious diseases spread rapidly and pathogens mutate quickly, posing new threats to human health. However, with the increasing use of high-throughput screening of pathogen genomes, research based on big data mining and visualization analysis has gradually become a hot topic for studies of infectious disease prevention and control. In this paper, the framework was performed on four infectious pathogens (Fusobacterium, Streptococcus, Neisseria, and Streptococcus salivarius) through five functions: 1) genome annotation, 2) phylogeny analysis based on core genome, 3) analysis of structure differences between genomes, 4) prediction of virulence genes/factors with their pathogenic mechanisms, and 5) prediction of resistance genes/factors with their signaling pathways. The experiments were carried out from three angles: phylogeny (macro perspective), structure differences of genomes (micro perspective), and virulence and drug-resistance characteristics (prediction perspective). Therefore, the framework can not only provide evidence to support the rapid identification of new or unknown pathogens and thus plays a role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, but also help to recommend the most appropriate strains for clinical and scientific research. This paper presented a new genome information visualization analysis process framework based on big data mining technology with the accommodation of the depth and breadth of pathogens in molecular level research.

Abstract
Two Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, bright-yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped bacteria (strains 100069 and 100111T) with a single polar flagellum were isolated from the rectal contents of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae). Based on the results of nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analyses, strains 100069 and 100111T belong to the genus Luteimonas, and are closest to Luteimonas rhizosphaerae 4-12T (98.02 % similarity), Luteimonas aestuarii B9T (97.8 %) and Luteimonas terrae THG-MD21T (97.74 %). The DNA G+C contents of these two isolates were 68.30 mol% and 68.29 mol%, respectively. The highest average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between strain 100111T and its closely related species was 83.34 %, well below the threshold of 95-96 %. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C11 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9. Polar lipid content was dominated by diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. Ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) was the predominant respiratory quinone. These two isolates grew optimally at 35-37 °C, pH 7.0-8.0 and with 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The results of ANI analysis and other characteristics obtained from our polyphasic study showed that strains 100069 and 100111T represent a novel species in genus Luteimonas, for which the name Luteimonas chenhongjianii sp. nov. (type strain 100111T=DSM 104077T=CGMCC 1.16429T) is proposed.

Abstract
Wildlife is a reservoir of emerging infectious diseases of humans and domestic animals. Marmota himalayana mainly resides 2800-4000 m above sea level in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, and is the primary animal reservoir of plague pathogen Yersinia pestis. Recently we isolated a new species, Escherichia marmotae from the faeces of M. himalayana. In this study we characterised E. marmotae by genomic analysis and in vitro virulence testing to determine its potential as a human pathogen. We sequenced the genomes of the seven E. marmotae strains and found that they contained a plasmid that carried a Shigella-like type III secretion system (T3SS) and their effectors, and shared the same O antigen gene cluster as Shigella dysenterae 8 and E. coli O38. We also showed that E. marmotae was invasive to HEp-2 cells although it was much less invasive than Shigella. Thus E. marmotae is likely to be an invasive pathogen. However, E. marmotae has a truncated IpaA invasin, and lacks the environmental response regulator VirF and the IcsA-actin based intracellular motility, rendering it far less invasive in comparison to Shigella. E. marmotae also carried a diverse set of virulence factors in addition to the T3SS, including an IS1414 encoded enterotoxin gene astA with 37 copies, E. coli virulence genes lifA/efa, cif, and epeA, and the sfp gene cluster, Yersinia T3SS effector yopJ, one Type II secretion system and two Type VI secretion systems. Therefore, E. marmotae is a potential invasive pathogen.

Abstract
Two Gram-stain negative, catalase positive, coccus shaped bacteria, designated 10023T and 10010, were isolated from the rectal contents of a plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, phylogenetic trees showed that these two isolates (10023T, 10010) group with members of the genus Neisseria. Additionally, these two isolates exhibited high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Neisseria zalophi CSL 7565T (96.98%), Neisseria wadsworthii WC 05-9715T (96.92%) and Neisseria canis ATCC 14687T (96.79%). Further phylogenetic analysis based on the rplF gene showed that these two novel strains can be easily discriminated from phylogenetically closely related species. Optimal growth was found to occur on BHI agar with 5% defibrinated sheep blood at 37 °C and growth was also observed on nutrient agar, Columbia blood agar and chocolate agar plates; however, growth was not observed on MacConkey agar after 7 days. The major cellular fatty acids of these strains were identified as C16:0 and C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c. The complete genome size of the type strain 10023T is 2,496,444 bp, with DNA G+C content of 54.0 mol %. The average nucleotide identity values were 73.5–79.3% between isolate 10023T and reference Neisseria spp. Based on polyphasic analysis, these isolates (10023T and 10010) are considered to represent a novel species in the genus Neisseria, for which the name Neisseria chenwenguii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 10023T (= DSM 103440T = CGMCC 1.15736T).

Abstract
Three Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, α-haemolytic, chain-forming and coccus-shaped microorganisms (strains Z15T, Z1 and Z2) were isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes collected from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, PR China. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence studies indicated that Z15T shared 94.5, 93.1 and 92.2 % similarity with Streptococcus pantholopis DSM 102135T, Streptococcus ursoris NUM 1615T and Streptococcus dentapri NUM 1529T, respectively. rpoB and groEL-based sequence analysis of our three novel isolates revealed interspecies divergence of 16.7 and 14.3 % from Streptococcus pantholopis DSM 102135T. The genomic DNA G+C content of Z15T is 42.48 mol%. Z15T has an average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 81.19 % with S. pantholopis DSM 102135T and a DNA-DNA relatedness value of less than 70 % in the in-silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) with other species of genus Streptococcus deposited in the GenBank database. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree based on 246 core genes of 78 genomes of members of the genus Streptococcusindicated that Z15T represents a member of genus Streptococcus but one well separated from the currently recognized species. Z15T contains C18 : 1ω7c (25.5 %), C18 : 1ω9c (19.6 %), C16 : 0 (17.5 %) and C16 : 1ω9c (13.3 %) as its major cellular fatty acids. According to the morphological, biochemical and molecular phylogenetic features of the three novel isolates, they represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, and Streptococcus chenjunshii sp. nov. is thus proposed. The type strain is Z15T (=CGMCC 1.16529=DSM 106182).

BMC Microbiol 2018; 18:182. [PMID: 30419812 PMCID: PMC6233522 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-018-1327-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2018] [Accepted: 10/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Streptococcus pluranimalium is a new member of the Streptococcus genus isolated from multiple different animal hosts. It has been identified as a pathogen associated with subclinical mastitis, valvular endocarditis and septicaemia in animals. Moreover, this bacterium has emerged as a new pathogen for human infective endocarditis and brain abscess. However, the patho-biological properties of S. pluranimalium remain virtually unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the complete genome sequence of S. pluranimalium strain TH11417 isolated from a cattle with mastitis, and to characterize its antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and carbon catabolism. Results The genome of S. pluranimalium TH11417, determined by single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, consists of 2,065,522 base pair (bp) with a G + C content of 38.65%, 2,007 predicted coding sequence (CDS), 58 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and five ribosome RNA (rRNA) operons. It contains a novel ISSpl1 element (a memeber of the IS3 family) and a Ф11417.1 prophage that carries the mef(A), msr(D) and lnu(C) genes. Consistently, our antimicrobial susceptibility test confirmed that S. pluranimalium TH11417 was resistant to erythromycin and lincomycin. However, this strain did not show virulence in murine pneumonia (intranasal inoculation, 107 colony forming unit – CFU) and sepsis (intraperitoneal inoculation, 107 CFU) models. Additionally, this strain is able to grow with glucose, lactose or galactose as the sole carbon source, and possesses a lactose-specific phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS). Conclusions We reported the first whole genome sequence of S. pluranimalium isolated from a cattle with mastitis. It harbors a prophage carrying the mef(A), msr(D) and lnu(C) genes, and is avirulent in the murine infection model.

Abstract
Two bacterial strains were individually isolated from Marmota himalayana respiratory tracts; the animals were from the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, PR China. The isolates were Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped, chain-forming organisms. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the type strain HTS25T shared 98.0, 97.4, 97.2 and 97.1 % similarity with Streptococcus cuniculi, Streptococcus acidominimus, Streptococcus marmotae and Streptococcus himalayensis respectively. Sequence analysis of the sodA and rpoB genes indicated that HTS25T was closely related to S. marmotae (similarities of 94.7 and 91.4 % respectively). Analysis of groEL sequences showed interspecies similarity of 84.8 % between HTS25T and S. himalayensis. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree reconstructed from 81 core genes from the genomes of 17 members of the genus Streptococcus was used to validate that HTS25T forms a distinct subline from other recognized species of the genus Streptococcus. DNA-DNA hybridization of HTS25T showed a maximum estimated DNA reassociation value of 32.1 % to Streptococcus cuniculi CCUG 65085T. On the basis of the results of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, we propose that the two isolates be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, named Streptococcus respiraculi sp. nov. The type strain is HTS25T (=DSM 101998T=CGMCC 1.15531T). The genome of Streptococcus respiraculi sp. nov. strain HTS25T (2 067 971 bp) contains 2001 genes with an average DNA G+C content of 42.7 mol%.

Abstract
The taxonomic position of four phenotypically closely related strains isolated from faecal samples of yaks (Bos grunniens) collected from the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, China, was determined by a polyphasic approach. The strains were non-spore-forming, non-motile Gram-stain-positive, ovoid cocci, occurring predominantly in pairs and short chains or in irregular clusters. The 16S rRNA gene of strain MN05T was related phylogenetically to those of Enterococcushaemoperoxidus, Enterococcusrotai, Enterococcusquebecensis, Enterococcusplantarum, Enterococcuscrotali, Enterococcusmoraviensis, Enterococcussilesiacus, Enterococcuscaccae, Enterococcustermitis, Enterococcusureasiticus and Enterococcusureilyticus, all belonging to the Enterococcusfaecalis species group. The sequence similarities of three selected genes of MN05T to those of the type strains of phylogenetically related species were measured, with values within the range of 99.2-99.5 % (16S rRNA gene), 90.0-97.3 % (rpoA) and 80.0-85.3 % (pheS), respectively. The genome of MN05T (3 842 361 bp) contained 4299 genes with a DNA G+C content of 37.5 mol%. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree based on 808 core genes confirmed that MN05T belongs to a distinct lineage, well separated from all recognized species of the Enterococcusfaecalis species group. DNA-DNA hybridization in silico showed that MN05T displayed less than 70 % DNA-DNA relatedness with the other 13 species of the Enterococcusfaecalis species group. Moreover, their phenotypic features distinguished the four strains from the other species of the Enterococcusfaecalis species group. Based upon these data obtained from the polyphasic characterization performed in the present study, a novel species of the genus Enterococcus, Enterococcus wangshanyuanii sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain MN05T (=DSM 104047T=CGMCC 1.15942T).

Abstract
Five strains of Gram-positive-staining, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped, chain-forming organisms isolated separately from the respiratory tracts of five Marmota himalayana animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China were subjected to phenotypic and molecular taxonomic analyses. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that these singular organisms represent a new member of the genus Streptococcus, being phylogenetically closest to Streptococcus marmotae DSM 101995T (98.4 % similarity). The groEL, sodA and rpoB sequence analysis showed interspecies similarity values between HTS2T and Streptococcus. marmotae DSM 101995T, its closest phylogenetic relative based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, of 98.2, 78.8 and 93.7 %, respectively. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree built from 82 core genes of genomes from 16 species of the genus Streptococcus validated that HTS2T forms a distinct subline and exhibits specific phylogenetic affinity with S. marmotae. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization of HTS2T showed an estimated DNA reassociation value of 40.5 % with Streptococcus. marmotae DSM 101995T. On the basis of their phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic findings, it is proposed that the five isolates be classified as representatives of a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, Streptococcus himalayensis sp. nov. The type strain is HTS2T (=DSM 101997T=CGMCC 1.15533T). The genome of Streptococcus himalayensis sp. nov. strain HTS2T contains 2195 genes with a size of 2 275 471 bp and a mean DNA G+C content of 41.3 mol%.
