is a zoonotic pathogen that causes invasive infections in humans and pigs. Although serotype 2 is prevalent among patient and swine infections, other serotypes are occasionally detected in humans. Of these, serotype 24 clonal complex (CC) 221/234 are recognized as emerging clones of human infection. Genomic exploration of three serotype 24 CC221/234 strains revealed antimicrobial resistance genes, pathotyping, virulence-associated gene (VAG) profiles, minimum core genome (MCG) typing, and comparison of the genomes. Based on these analyzes, all three serotype 24 strains were MCG7-3 and should be classified in the intermediate/weakly virulent (I/WV) group. All selected serotype 24 strains were susceptible to several antibiotics including β-lactam, fluoroquinolone, and chloramphenicol. Resistance to tetracycline, macrolide, and clindamycin was observed and attributed to the genes and . Genomic comparison revealed the strains S12X, LSS66, LS0L, LS0E, 92-4,172, and IMT40201 that had phylogenetic affinity with serotype 24 CC221/234. Analysis of 80 virulence-associated genes (VAG) showed that all three serotype 24 strains lacked 24 genes consisting of adhesin P, , permease , and Eleven specific sequences were identified in the 3 serotype 24 genomes that differed from the genomes of the representative strains of epidemic (E; SC84), highly virulent (HV; P1/7), I/WV (89-1,591), and avirulent (T15 and 05HAS68).
是一种人畜共患病原体,可导致人类和猪发生侵袭性感染。虽然2型血清型在患者和猪感染中普遍存在,但其他血清型偶尔也会在人类中被检测到。其中,24型血清型克隆复合体(CC)221/234被认为是人类感染的新兴克隆。对三株24型血清型CC221/234菌株进行基因组探索,揭示了抗菌抗性基因、致病型、毒力相关基因(VAG)谱、最小核心基因组(MCG)分型以及基因组比较。基于这些分析,所有三株24型血清型菌株均为MCG7-3,应归类于中等/弱毒力(I/WV)组。所有选定的24型血清型菌株对包括β-内酰胺、氟喹诺酮和氯霉素在内的几种抗生素敏感。观察到对四环素、大环内酯和克林霉素的抗性,并归因于基因 和 。基因组比较揭示了与24型血清型CC221/234具有系统发育亲和力的菌株S12X、LSS66、LS0L、LS0E、92-4、172和IMT40201。对80个毒力相关基因(VAG)的分析表明,所有三株24型血清型菌株均缺少由粘附素P、 、通透酶 和 组成的24个基因。在三株24型血清型基因组中鉴定出11个特定序列,这些序列与流行株(E;SC84)、高毒力株(HV;P1/7)、I/WV株(89-1,591)和无毒力株(T15和05HAS68)的代表性菌株基因组不同。
