The Actinobacteria, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strain P54B96, a nonmotile, non sporulating and a mesophile bacterium, was isolated from liver, lung and mediastinal lymph node lesions in an antelope from South Africa. This strain is interesting in the sense that it has been found together with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) which could nevertheless play a role in the lesion formation. In this work, we describe a set of features of C. pseudotuberculosis P54B96, together with the details of the complete genome sequence and annotation. The genome comprises of 2.34 Mbp long, single circular genome with 2,084 protein-coding genes, 12 rRNA, 49 tRNA and 62 pseudogenes and a G+C content of 52.19%. The analysis of the genome se quence provides means to better understanding the molecular and genetic basis of virulence of this bacterium, enabling a detailed investigation of its pathogenesis.

PIPS: Pathogenicity Island Prediction Software
(Public Library of Science, 2012-02) SOARES, Siomar de Castro; ABREU, Vinicius Augusto Carvalho de; RAMOS, Rommel Thiago Juca; CERDEIRA, Louise Teixeira; SILVA, Artur Luiz da Costa da; BAUMBACH, Jan; TROST, Eva; TAUCH, Andreas; HIRATA JÚNIOR, Raphael; GUARALDI, Ana Luiza de Mattos; MIYOSHI, Anderson; AZEVEDO, Vasco Ariston de Carvalho
The adaptability of pathogenic bacteria to hosts is influenced by the genomic plasticity of the bacteria, which can be increased by such mechanisms as horizontal gene transfer. Pathogenicity islands play a major role in this type of gene transfer because they are large, horizontally acquired regions that harbor clusters of virulence genes that mediate the adhesion, colonization, invasion, immune system evasion, and toxigenic properties of the acceptor organism. Currently, pathogenicity islands are mainly identified in silico based on various characteristic features: (1) deviations in codon usage, G+C content or dinucleotide frequency and (2) insertion sequences and/or tRNA genetic flanking regions together with transposase coding genes. Several computational techniques for identifying pathogenicity islands exist. However, most of these techniques are only directed at the detection of horizontally transferred genes and/or the absence of certain genomic regions of the pathogenic bacterium in closely related non-pathogenic species. Here, we present a novel software suite designed for the prediction of pathogenicity islands (pathogenicity island prediction software, or PIPS). In contrast to other existing tools, our approach is capable of utilizing multiple features for pathogenicity island detection in an integrative manner. We show that PIPS provides better accuracy than other available software packages. As an example, we used PIPS to study the veterinary pathogen Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, in which we identified seven putative pathogenicity islands.

Quadruplex PCR assay for identification of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis differentiating biovar Ovis and Equi
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2017) ALMEIDA, Sintia Silva de; DORNELES, Elaine Maria Seles; DINIZ, Carlos Augusto Almeida; ABREU, Vinicius Augusto Carvalho de; SOUSA, Cassiana Severiano de; ALVES, Jorianne Thyeska Castro; CARNEIRO, Adriana Ribeiro; VILAS BOAS, Priscilla Carolinne Bagano; SPIER, Sharon; BARH, Debmalya; LAGE, Andrey Pereira; FIGUEIREDO, Henrique Cesar Pereira; AZEVEDO, Vasco Ariston de Carvalho
Background: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is classified into two biovars, nitrate-negative biovar Ovis which is the etiologic agent of caseous lymphadenitis in small ruminants and nitrate-positive biovar Equi, which causes abscesses and ulcerative lymphangitis in equines. The aim of this study was to develop a quadruplex PCR assay that would allow simultaneous detection and biovar-typing of C. pseudotuberculosis. Methods: In the present study, genomes of C. pseudotuberculosis strains were used to identify the genes involved in the nitrate reduction pathway to improve a species identification three-primer multiplex PCR assay. The nitrate reductase gene (narG) was included in the PCR assay along with the 16S, rpoB and pld genes to enhance the diagnosis of the multiplex PCR at biovar level. Results: A novel quadruplex PCR assay for C. pseudotuberculosis species and biovar identification was developed. The results of the quadruplex PCR of 348 strains, 346 previously well-characterized clinical isolates of C. pseudotuberculosis from different hosts (goats, sheep, horse, cattle, buffalo, llamas and humans), the vaccine strain 1002 and the type strain ATCC 19410T , were compared to the results of nitrate reductase identification by biochemical test. The McNemar’s Chi-squared test used to compare the two methods used for C. pseudotuberculosis biovar identification showed no significant difference (P = 0.75) [95% CI for odds ratio (0.16–6.14)] between the quadruplex PCR and the nitrate biochemical test. Concordant results were observed for 97.13% (338 / 348) of the tested strains and the kappa value was 0.94 [95% CI (0.90–0.98)]. Conclusions: The ability of the quadruplex assay to discriminate between C. pseudotuberculosis biovar Ovis and Equi strains enhances its usefulness in the clinical microbiology laboratory.

The Pan-Genome of the Animal Pathogen Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis Reveals Differences in Genome Plasticity between the Biovar ovis and equi Strains
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01) SOARES, Siomar de Castro; SILVA, Artur Luiz da Costa da; TROST, Eva; BLOM, Jochen; RAMOS, Rommel Thiago Juca; CARNEIRO, Adriana Ribeiro; ALI, Amjad; SANTOS, Anderson Rodrigues dos; GOMIDE, Anne Cybelle Pinto; DINIZ, Carlos Augusto Almeida; BARBOSA, Eudes Guilherme Vieira; DORELLA, Fernanda Alves; ABURJAILE, Flavia Figueira; ROCHA, Flávia de Souza; NASCIMENTO, Karina Kelly Fiaux do; GUIMARÃES, Luís Carlos; ALMEIDA, Sintia Silva de; HASSAN, Syed Shah; BAKHTIAR, Syeda Marriam; PEREIRA, Ulisses de Pádua; ABREU, Vinicius Augusto Carvalho de; SCHNEIDER, Maria Paula Cruz; MIYOSHI, Anderson; TAUCH, Andreas; AZEVEDO, Vasco Ariston de Carvalho
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen and the causative agent of several infectious and contagious chronic diseases, including caseous lymphadenitis, ulcerative lymphangitis, mastitis, and edematous skin disease, in a broad spectrum of hosts. In addition, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infections pose a rising worldwide economic problem in ruminants. The complete genome sequences of 15 C. pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from different hosts and countries were comparatively analyzed using a pan-genomic strategy. Phylogenomic, pan-genomic, core genomic, and singleton analyses revealed close relationships among pathogenic corynebacteria, the clonal-like behavior of C. pseudotuberculosis and slow increases in the sizes of pan-genomes. According to extrapolations based on the pan-genomes, core genomes and singletons, the C. pseudotuberculosis biovar ovis shows a more clonal-like behavior than the C. pseudotuberculosis biovar equi. Most of the variable genes of the biovar ovis strains were acquired in a block through horizontal gene transfer and are highly conserved, whereas the biovar equi strains contain great variability, both intra- and inter-biovar, in the 16 detected pathogenicity islands (PAIs). With respect to the gene content of the PAIs, the most interesting finding is the high similarity of the pilus genes in the biovar ovis strains compared with the great variability of these genes in the biovar equi strains. Concluding, the polymerization of complete pilus structures in biovar ovis could be responsible for a remarkable ability of these strains to spread throughout host tissues and penetrate cells to live intracellularly, in contrast with the biovar equi, which rarely attacks visceral organs. Intracellularly, the biovar ovis strains are expected to have less contact with other organisms than the biovar equi strains, thereby explaining the significant clonal-like behavior of the biovar ovis strains.

Tree responses to soil and edge effects in a semideciduous forest remnant
(Instituto de Florestas da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, 2018-07) TERRA, Marcela de Castro Nunes Santos; TEODORO, Grazielle Sales; PIFANO, Daniel Salgado; FERNANDES, Fernando Bonillo; SILVA, Tainá Mamede Cirne; BERG, Eduardo van den
The present study seeks to characterize the composition, structure, and functional traits of the tree stratum of a Semideciduous Forest in Pouso Alegre, MG, Brazil (22º12’43”S and 45º59’30”W), by comparing Edge and Interior habitats and their relation to human impacts and soil variables. The tree community (diameter at 1.3 m (DBH) higher than 5 cm) was inventoried using the point-centered quarter method by laying out 12 transects of 450 m each (six transects in the Edge and six in the Interior). Functional traits – wood density and seed mass – were obtained by genus. The impact evaluation and soil sample collection were realized per transect. We found significant differences in terms of the basal area (higher in Interior), diversity (higher in Interior) and community seed mass (higher in Edge). The effects of higher values of soil traits such as Calcium, Magnesium, cation sum (CS) and base saturation (V) on species composition were stronger in the Interior, while human induced impacts and soil Potassium had an overwhelming effect on the Edge.
