Insertion sequence evolutionary patterns highlight convergent genetic inactivations and recent genomic island acquisitions among epidemic Free

Abstract

The B&B clone was found previously to be responsible for an epidemic outbreak within an intensive care unit in France. This clone belongs to the ST32 clonal complex, which is one of the most prevalent among French cystic fibrosis patients and is known to be related to the highly virulent ET12 clonal complex. Genomic repartition biases of insertion sequences (ISs) were investigated to improve our understanding of the evolutionary events leading to diversification and the emergence of such epidemic lineages. IS were used for tracking convergent genetic inactivations and recent DNA acquisitions. IS families and subgroups were compared in terms of genetic diversity and genomic architecture using fully sequenced genomes, PCR screening and DNA blot analysis. These analyses revealed several features shared by the B&B and ET12 epidemic clones. IS elements showed a frequent localization on genomic islands (GI) and indicated convergent evolution towards inactivation of certain loci. The IS subgroup of the IS family was identified as a good indicator of recently acquired GIs in clone ET12. Several IS elements showed strain-specific or clonal complex-specific localizations. IS DNA probing of a DNA library built from the B&B epidemic clone led to the identification of a recently acquired IS-tagged GI likely to be conjugative and integrative. The B&B clone showed significant differences in its IS architecture from that of ST32 strains isolated from Czech cystic fibrosis patients.
