Genome-wide expanding of genetic evolution and potential pathogenicity in Vibrio alginolyticus

Vibrio alginolyticus, an emergent species of Vibrio genus, exists in aquatic and marine environments. It has undergone genetic diversification, but its detailed genomic diversity is still unclear. Here, we performed a multi-dimensional comparative genomic analysis to explore the population phylogeny...

description Vibrio alginolyticus, an emergent species of Vibrio genus, exists in aquatic and marine environments. It has undergone genetic diversification, but its detailed genomic diversity is still unclear. Here, we performed a multi-dimensional comparative genomic analysis to explore the population phylogeny, virulence-related genes and potential drug resistance genes of 184 V. alginolyticus isolates. Although genetic diversity is complex, we analysed the population structure using three sub-datasets, including the subdivision for three lineages into sublineages and the distribution of strains in the marine ecological niche. Accessory genes, most of which reclassified V. alginolyticus genomes as different but with relatively close affinities, were nonuniformly distributed among these isolates. We demonstrated that the spread of some post-evolutionary isolates (mainly L3 strains isolated from Chinese territorial seas) was likely to be closely related to human activities, whereas other more ancestral strains (strains in the L1 and L2) tended to be locally endemic and formed clonal complex groups. In terms of pathogenicity, the potential virulence factors were mainly associated with toxin, adherence, motility, chemotaxis, and the type III secretion system (T3SS). We also found five types of antibacterial drug resistance genes. The prevalence of β-lactam resistance genes was 100%, which indicated that there may be a potential risk of natural resistance to β-lactam drugs. Our study reveals insights into genomic characteristics, evolution and potential virulence-associated gene profiles of V. alginolyticus.
