Analysis of the Lung Microbiota in Dogs with Bordetella Bronchiseptica Fastrès et al. Vet Res (2020) 51:46 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-020-00769-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of the lung microbiota in dogs with Bordetella bronchiseptica infection and correlation with culture and quantitative polymerase chain reaction Aline Fastrès1*, Morgane A. Canonne1, Bernard Taminiau2, Frederic Billen1, Mutien‑Marie Garigliany3, Georges Daube2 and Cécile Clercx1 Abstract Infection with Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb), a pathogen involved in canine infectious respiratory disease complex, can be confrmed using culture or qPCR. Studies about the canine lung microbiota (LM) are recent, sparse, and only one paper has been published in canine lung infection. In this study, we aimed to compare the LM between Bb infected and healthy dogs, and to correlate sequencing with culture and qPCR results. Twenty Bb infected dogs diagnosed either by qPCR and/or culture and 4 healthy dogs were included. qPCR for Mycoplasma cynos (Mc) were also available in 18 diseased and all healthy dogs. Sequencing results, obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage fuid after DNA extraction, PCR targeting the V1–V3 region of the 16S rDNA and sequencing, showed the presence of Bb in all diseased dogs, about half being co‑infected with Mc. In diseased compared with healthy dogs, the β‑diversity changed (P 0.0024); bacterial richness and α‑diversity were lower (P 0.012 and 0.0061), and bacterial load higher (P 0.004). Bb= qPCR classes and culture results correlated with the abundance= of Bb (r 0.71, P < 0.001 and r 0.70, P = 0.0022). Mc qPCR classes also correlated with the abundance of Mc (r 0.73, P < 0.001).= Bb infection induced= lung dysbiosis,= characterized by high bacterial load, low richness and diversity =and increased abundance of Bb, compared with healthy dogs. Sequencing results highly correlate with qPCR and culture results showing that sequencing can be reliable to identify microorganisms involved in lung infectious diseases. Introduction genus [7].

Precipitation and Particulate Matter Properties S1.1 Precipitation Categorization In this study, we have segregated our precipitation samples into four different categories, such as (1) snows, (2) hails/thunderstorms, (3) long-lasted rains, and (4) weak rains. For this categorization, we have considered both our observation-based as well as the disdrometer-assigned National Weather Service (NWS) 20 code. Initially, the precipitation samples had been assigned one of the four categories based on our manual observation. In the next step, we have used each NWS code and its occurrence in each precipitation sample to finalize the precipitation category. During this step, a precipitation sample was categorized into snow, only when we identified a snow type NWS code (Snow: S-, S, S+ and/or Snow Grains: SG). Likewise, a precipitation sample was categorized into hail/thunderstorm, only when the cumulative sum of NWS codes for hail was 25 counted more than five times (i.e., A + SP ≥ 5; where A and SP are the codes for soft hail and hail, respectively).

  • The Skin Microbiome of Cow-Nose Rays ([I]Rhinoptera Bonasus[I])
    The skin microbiome of cow-nose rays (Rhinoptera bonasus) in an aquarium touch-tank exhibit Patrick J Kearns Corresp., 1 , Jennifer L Bowen 1 , Michael F Tlusty 2, 3 1 Biology Department, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, Massachusetts, USA 2 John H. Prescott Marine Lab, Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life, New England Aquarium, Boston, MA, USA 3 School for the Environment, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, MA, USA Corresponding Author: Patrick J Kearns Email address: [email protected] Public aquarium exhibits offer numerous educational opportunities for visitors while touch tank exhibits offer guests the ability to directly interact with marine life. However, despite the popularity of these exhibits, the effect of human interactions on the host-associated microbiome or the habitat microbiome remains unclear. Microbial communities, both host- associated and habitat associated can have great implications for host health and habitat function. To better understand the link between human interactions and the microbiome of a touch tank we used high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to analyze the microbial community on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of cow-nose rays (Rhinoptera bonasus) as well as its environment in a frequently visited touch tank exhibit at the New England Aquarium. Our analyses revealed a distinct microbial community associated with the skin of the ray that had lower diversity than the surrounding habitat. The ray skin was dominated by three orders: Burkholderiales (~55%), Flavobacteriales (~19%) and Pseudomonadales (~12%), suggesting a potentially important role of these taxa in ray health. Further, there was no difference between dorsal and ventral surface of the ray in terms of microbial composition or diversity, and a very low presence of common human- associated microbial taxa (<1.5%).

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:207 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/12/207 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Detection of small RNAs in Bordetella pertussis and identification of a novel repeated genetic element David Hot1,2,3,4,5*, Stéphanie Slupek1,2,3,4,5, Bérénice Wulbrecht1,2,3,4,5, Anthony D’Hondt1,2,3,4,5, Christine Hubans5,6, Rudy Antoine1,2,3,4,5, Camille Locht1,2,3,4,5 and Yves Lemoine1,2,3,4,5 Abstract Background: Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far, little is known about sRNAs in Bordetella, and only very few sRNAs have been identified in the genome of Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. Results: An in silico approach was used to predict sRNAs genes in intergenic regions of the B. pertussis genome. The genome sequences of B. pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella avium were compared using a Blast, and significant hits were analyzed using RNAz. Twenty-three candidate regions were obtained, including regions encoding the already documented 6S RNA, and the GCVT and FMN riboswitches. The existence of sRNAs was verified by Northern blot analyses, and transcripts were detected for 13 out of the 20 additional candidates. These new sRNAs were named Bordetella pertussis RNAs, bpr. The expression of 4 of them differed between the early, exponential and late growth phases, and one of them, bprJ2, was found to be under the control of BvgA/BvgS two-component regulatory system of Bordetella virulence.
