Genomic insights into Metapseudomonas otitidis PA-NS83: The first clinical isolate from Thailand and its comparative genomic analysis
Metapseudomonas otitidis was first isolated from human middle ear fluid and has since been detected in both environmental and clinical samples, emerging as an opportunistic pathogen linked to chronic otitis media and other infections. This study reports the first clinical isolate of M. otitidis from Thailand, PA-NS83, and presents a comprehensive genomic characterization. Whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis with 37 publicly available M. otitidis genomes revealed a diverse antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profile, with PA-NS83 carrying AMR genes commonly found in environmental isolates. Virulence gene analysis identified key determinants associated with biofilm formation, motility, secretion systems, and iron acquisition, highlighting its potential pathogenicity.
Pan-genome analysis demonstrated substantial genomic diversity, with PA-NS83 clustering closely with M. otitidis CSMC7, an environmental isolate from polystyrene waste. However, PA-NS83 harbored 419 unique genes, including virulence-associated genes and a CRISPR-Cas system, suggesting adaptation to clinical settings. These findings underscore the genetic plasticity of M. otitidis and its potential role in human infections. Continued genomic surveillance and functional studies are essential to further assess its clinical significance and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
(aka Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases -- MEEGID)
Infectious diseases constitute one of the main challenges to medical science in the coming century. The impressive development of molecular megatechnologies and of bioinformatics have greatly increased our knowledge of the evolution, transmission and pathogenicity of infectious diseases. Research has shown that host susceptibility to many infectious diseases has a genetic basis. Furthermore, much is now known on the molecular epidemiology, evolution and virulence of pathogenic agents, as well as their resistance to drugs, vaccines, and antibiotics. Equally, research on the genetics of disease vectors has greatly improved our understanding of their systematics, has increased our capacity to identify target populations for control or intervention, and has provided detailed information on the mechanisms of insecticide resistance.
However, the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors have tended to develop as three separate fields of research. This artificial compartmentalisation is of concern due to our growing appreciation of the strong co-evolutionary interactions among hosts, pathogens and vectors.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution and its companion congress [MEEGID](http://www.meegidconference.com/) (for Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases) are the main forum acting for the cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution is the only journal that welcomes articles dealing with the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, and coevolution processes among them in relation to infection and disease manifestation. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions. The journal welcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, postgenomics, gene expression, evolutionary biology, population dynamics, mathematical modeling and bioinformatics. We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
