温州市食源性小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌毒力基因分布及遗传多样性研究

Virulence determinants and genetic diversity of foodborne Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from Wenzhou

目的了解温州市食源性小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌的毒力基因分布及遗传多样性特征。方法对温州市食品及食源性疾病腹泻病人中分离得到的小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌进行生物型、血清型和耐药性分析,并基于全基因组测序进行菌株的毒力基因、多位点序列分型(MLST)、核心基因组多位点序列分型(cgMLST)分析。结果71株食源性小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌,94.4%(67/71)的分离株为生物1A型,生物血清型以1A/O∶5占比最高(29.6%,21/71)。分离株对14种抗菌药物的敏感率达到95.8%以上。共获得了16种126个毒力基因,其中2株菌株携带pYV质粒和染色体相关毒力基因。分离株以ST3型最常见(31.6%,12/38),cgMLST分析显示除具有相同ST型的菌株外,菌株无明显基因型簇形成。结论温州市食源性小肠结肠炎耶尔森氏菌存在致病性菌株,菌株呈高度遗传多态性,需加强此类菌株的监测,以预防其引起食源性疾病的暴发。

The aim of this study was to investigate the virulence determinants and genetic diversity of foodborne Yersinia enterocolitica from Wenzhou.A total of 71 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica were isolated from food and foodborne diarrhea cases in Wenzhou,and their biotypes,serotypes,and drug resistance were analyzed.On the basis of whole genome sequencing,we assessed virulence gene profiles,and performed multilocus sequence typing(MLST)and core gene multilocus sequence typing(cgMLST).A total of 94.4%(67/71)of isolates belonged to biotype 1A,and the highest proportion had serotype 1A/O∶5(29.6%,21/71).The sensitivity rates of the isolates to 14 antibiotics exceeded 95.8%.A total of 16 categories and 126 virulence genes were identified,with two strains carrying the pYV plasmid and chromosome-related virulence genes.ST3(31.6%,12/38)was the most widespread MLST type,and cgMLST analysis revealed no dense clusters of genotypes except for strains sharing the same ST.In conclusion,pathogenic strains were identified from foodborne Yersinia enterocolitica in Wenzhou and were found to exhibit high genetic polymorphism.Enhanced regulatory supervision is essential to prevent the outbreak of foodborne diseases caused by Yersinia enterocolitica.
