Abstract:Objective: To investigate virulence factors and pathogenic mechanisms in uropathogemic Escherichia coli (UPEC) NB8. Methods: UPEC NB8 was collected from urine sample of an inpatient in Ningbo First Hospital, in April, 2012. Sequencing gyrA and parC, BLASTn algorithm were performed to identify E.coli. Then, whole genome were sequenced by Illumina HiSeq and Ion Torrent PGM, and PCR was performed to fill gaps. Data mining of virulence factors were performed, and comparative genomics of virulence factors in NB8 and 9 strains of UPEC after whole genome sequencing were performed. Results: By whole genome sequencing, a putative chromosome sequence (14 gaps inside) was 4 550 369 bp, a putative plasmid sequence (33 gaps inside) was 635 377 bp. Some classes of virulence factors were positive in NB8, including adhesion (adhesin, type P fimbriae, type I fimbriae, Escherichia coli common pilus), iron uptake(aerobactin, heme, enterobactin), protease (secreted autotransporter toxin), toxin (hemolysin), Ag43, SHI-2 pathogenicity island protein. Conclusion: Virulence factors in UPEC NB8 played an important role in adhesion, invasion, cell viability, cell toxicity, and contribute to enhance the survival and virulence of the bacteria, so lead to urinary tract infection. Whole genome sequencing technology has the advantages of high speed, high throughput, low cost and high efficiency, which is worth of promoting.
