摘要
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotype Typhimurium phage type DT104 (DT104) can infect both humans and animals and is often multidrug-resistant (MDR). Previous studies have indicated that, unlike most S. Typhimurium, the overwhelming majority of DT104 strains produce a pertussis-like toxin, ArtAB, via prophage-encoded artAB ; however, DT104 that lack artAB have been described on occasion. Here, we identify a MDR DT104 lineage circulating among humans and cattle in the United States, which lacks artAB (i.e., the "U.S. artAB -negative major clade"; n = 41 genomes). Unlike most other bovine- and human-associated DT104 strains from the U.S. ( n = 219 total genomes), which harbor artAB on prophage Gifsy-1 ( n = 167), members of the U.S. artAB -negative major clade lack Gifsy-1, as well as anti-inflammatory effector gogB . The U.S. artAB -negative major clade was predicted to have lost artAB , Gifsy-1, and gogB circa 1993-1995 (95% highest posterior density interval 1989.5-1997.7), in close temporal proximity to a predicted rapid increase in the U.S. DT104 effective population size (circa 1996). When compared to DT104 genomes from other world regions ( n = 752 total genomes), several additional, sporadic artAB , Gifsy-1, and/or gogB loss events among clades encompassing ≤5 genomes were observed. In phenotypic assays that simulate conditions encountered during human and/or bovine digestion, members of the U.S. artAB -negative major clade did not differ from closely related Gifsy-1/ artAB / gogB -harboring U.S. DT104 strains (ANOVA raw P > 0.05); thus, future research is needed to elucidate the roles that artAB , gogB , and Gifsy-1 play in DT104 virulence in humans and animals.
