ST7 is highly prevalent in humans, pigs, as well as food in China; however, staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) caused by this ST type has rarely been reported. On May 13, 2017, an SFP outbreak caused by ST7 strains occurred in two campuses of a kindergarten in Hainan Province, China. We investigated the genomic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of ST7 SFP strains combined with the 91 ST7 food-borne strains from 12 provinces in China by performing whole-genome sequencing (WGS). There was clear phylogenetic clustering of seven SFP isolates. Six antibiotic genes including and were present in all SFP strains and also showed a higher prevalence rate in 91 food-borne strains. A multiple resistance plasmid pDC53285 was present in SFP strain DC53285. Among 27 enterotoxin genes, only and were found in all SFP strains. A ФSa3int prophage containing type A immune evasion cluster (, and ) was identified in SFP strain. In conclusion, we concluded that this SFP event was caused by the contamination of cakes with ST7 . This study indicated the potential risk of new emergencing ST7 clone for SFP.
ST7在中国的人类、猪以及食品中高度流行;然而,由这种ST型引起的葡萄球菌食物中毒(SFP)鲜有报道。2017年5月13日,中国海南省一所幼儿园的两个校区发生了由ST7菌株引起的SFP疫情。我们通过全基因组测序(WGS)对ST7 SFP菌株以及来自中国12个省份的91株ST7食源性菌株进行了基因组特征分析和系统发育分析。7株SFP分离株存在明显的系统发育聚类。所有SFP菌株中均存在包括和在内的6种抗生素基因,在91株食源性菌株中也显示出较高的流行率。SFP菌株DC53285中存在一个多重耐药质粒pDC53285。在27种肠毒素基因中,仅在所有SFP菌株中发现了和。在SFP菌株中鉴定出一个含有A型免疫逃避簇(、和)的ФSa3int前噬菌体。总之,我们得出结论,此次SFP事件是由蛋糕被ST7污染所致。本研究表明新出现的ST7克隆对SFP存在潜在风险。
