Genome analysis of Listeria ivanovii strain G770 that caused a deadly aortic prosthesis infection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We sequenced the genome of Listeria ivanovii strain G770, which caused a deadly infection of the thoracic aortic prosthesis of a 78-year-old man. The 2.9 Mb genome exhibited 21 specific genes among L. ivanovii strains, including five genes encoding a type I restriction modification system and one glycopeptide resistance gene.

We present the complete genomes of Listeria ivanovii subsp. ivanovii WSLC 3010 (ATCC 19119(T)), Listeria ivanovii subsp. londoniensis WSLC 30151 (SLCC 8854), and Listeria ivanovii subsp. londoniensis WSLC 30167 (SLCC 6032), representing the type strain of the species and two strains of the same serovar but different properties, respectively.
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of the animal pathogen Listeria ivanovii, which provides insights into host specificities and evolution of the genus Listeria.
We report the complete and annotated genome sequence of the animal pathogen Listeria ivanovii subsp. ivanovii strain PAM 55 (serotype 5), isolated in 1997 in Spain from an outbreak of abortion in sheep. The sequence and its analysis are available at an interactive genome browser at the Institut Pasteur (http://genolist.pasteur.fr/LivaList/).
متن کاملGene fragments distinguishing an epidemic-associated strain from a virulent prototype strain of Listeria monocytogenes belong to a distinct functional subset of genes and partially cross-hybridize with other Listeria species.
Most major food-borne outbreaks of listeriosis in Europe and in the United States have been caused by genetically closely related Listeria monocytogenes strains of serotype 4b. In order to assess whether genomic loci exist that could underlie this increased epidemic potential, we subtracted the genome of the virulent prototype L. monocytogenes strain EGD from a prototype epidemic strain. A tota...
متن کاملDetection of listeriolysin, the thiol-dependent hemolysin in Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, and Listeria seeligeri.
The listeriolysin gene from a weakly hemolytic but virulent strain of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a was cloned in Escherichia coli K-12. Recombinants were identified on the basis of their cross-reactivities to hyperimmune antisera raised against streptolysin O and listeriolysin. Low levels of hemolytic activity were detected in crude lysates of strains harboring the listeriolysin gene. I...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Three Frequently Used Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii Strains
We present the complete de novo assembled genome sequences of Listeria monocytogenes strains WSLC 1001 (ATCC 19112) and WSLC 1042 (ATCC 23074) and Listeria ivanovii WSLC 3009, three strains frequently used for the propagation and study of bacteriophages because they are presumed to be free of inducible prophages.
