Expanding dynamics of the virulence-related gene variations in the toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 is the causative pathogen in the sixth and seventh cholera pandemics. Cholera toxin is the major virulent factor but other virulence and virulence-related factors play certain roles in the pathogenesis and survival in the host. Along with the evolution of the epidemic strains, the virulence-related genes also experience variation, gain and loss, and lead to genetic divergence in different strains. RESULTS:In this study, we analyzed the virulence-related gene profiles in the toxigenic serogroup O1 strains isolated from 1923 to 2015, the genomes of which were publicly available. The virulence-related genes of the V. cholerae O1 strains were annotated based on the Virulence Factors Database (VFDB). An average of 230.1 virulence-related genes per strain were identified; significant differences in the average numbers were found between the classical and El Tor biotypes, and increasing trends in the number of virulence-related genes along with the isolation years were observed in the El Tor biotype strains. A total of 176 homologs of virulence-related genes were found from these strains, of which 25 belonged to the core genes, suggesting their conservative and necessary roles in V. cholerae pathogenesis. We described the diversities of the homologs by defining gene sequence type, and illustrated its association with gene duplication; we found that gene duplication clearly increased the complexity of the gene sequence types in the core virulence-related genes. In addition, we provided virulence-related gene profiles whose genetic characteristic depend on the isolation years from the view of gene gain and loss, variation, gene duplication and gene sequence type number. CONCLUSIONS:Our study reveals the comprehensive variation dynamics of the virulence-related genes in toxigenic V. cholerae serogroup O1 during epidemics. The increasing trend for the virulence-related genes may suggest the evolutional advantage of strains by gaining virulence-related genes with diverse functional categories.
