Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis (S. Infantis) is a globally distributed non-typhoid serovar infecting humans and food-producing animals. Considering the zoonotic potential and public health importance of this serovar, strategies to characterizing, monitor and control this pathogen are of great importance. This study aimed to determine the genetic relatedness of 80 Brazilian S. Infantis genomes in comparison to 40 non-Brazilian genomes from 14 countries using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-Multi-Locus Virulence Sequence Typing (CRISPR-MVLST). CRISPR spacers were searched using CRISPR-Cas++ and fimH and sseL alleles using BLAST and MEGA X. Results were analyzed using BioNumerics 7.6 in order to obtain similarity dendrograms. A total of 23 CRISPR1 and 11 CRISPR2 alleles formed by 37 and 26 types of spacers, respectively, were detected. MVLST revealed the presence of five fimH and three sseL alleles. CRISPR's similarity dendrogram showed 32 strain subtypes, with an overall similarity ≥ 78.6. The CRISPR-MVLST similarity dendrogram showed 37 subtypes, with an overall similarity ≥ 79.2. In conclusion, S. Infantis strains isolated from diverse sources in Brazil and other countries presented a high genetic similarity according to CRISPR and CRISPR-MVLST, regardless of their source, year, and/or place of isolation. These results suggest that both methods might be useful for molecular typing S. Infantis strains using WGS data.
肠炎沙门氏菌血清型婴儿型(S. Infantis)是一种在全球范围内分布的非伤寒血清型,感染人类和食用动物。考虑到该血清型的人畜共患病潜力和公共卫生重要性,对该病原体进行特征描述、监测和控制的策略非常重要。本研究旨在通过聚类规则间隔短回文重复序列(CRISPR)和 CRISPR 多基因座毒力序列分型(CRISPR-MVLST),比较来自 14 个国家的 40 株非巴西菌株和 80 株巴西 S. Infantis 基因组,确定其遗传相关性。使用 CRISPR-Cas++搜索 CRISPR 间隔物,使用 BLAST 和 MEGA X 搜索 fimH 和 sseL 等位基因。使用 BioNumerics 7.6 分析结果,以获得相似性 dendrograms。共检测到 23 个 CRISPR1 和 11 个 CRISPR2 等位基因,分别由 37 和 26 种间隔物组成。MVLST 显示存在 5 种 fimH 和 3 种 sseL 等位基因。CRISPR 的相似性 dendrograms 显示有 32 种菌株亚型,总相似性≥78.6。CRISPR-MVLST 的相似性 dendrograms 显示有 37 种亚型,总相似性≥79.2。总之,根据 CRISPR 和 CRISPR-MVLST,来自巴西和其他国家不同来源的 S. Infantis 菌株表现出很高的遗传相似性,无论其来源、年份和/或分离地点如何。这些结果表明,这两种方法都可能有助于使用 WGS 数据对 S. Infantis 菌株进行分子分型。
