“…Many plasmid-containing strains have recently been reported. Profeta et al reported two plasmids in the C. perfringens netB positive strain 2016TE7641_69 isolated from the intestine of a diseased turkey in Italy 16 . In C. www.nature.com/scientificreports/ perfringens CBA7123 isolated from humans, Kim et al identified a 46,640-bp plasmid (with a G + C content of 27.1%) 17 .…”

Clostridium perfringens (Cp) is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals in the natural environment and animal intestines. The pathogenicity of Cp depends on the production of toxins encoded by genes on the chromosomes or plasmids. In contemporary literature, there is no clear consensus about the pathogenicity of CpA β2 toxin. To analyze the homology of the genome of piglet source CpA and its β2 toxin, we sequenced the whole genome of strain JXJA17 isolated from diarrhea piglets using the Illumina Miseq and Pacbio Sequel platforms. The genome was composed of a circular chromosome with 3,324,072 bp (G + C content: 28.51%) and nine plasmids. Genome and 16S rDNA homology analysis revealed a close relation of the JXJA17 strain with the JGS1495, Cp-06, Cp-16, and FORC_003 strains. These strains were isolated from different samples and belonged to different toxin-types. JXJA17 strain was found to carry two toxin genes (plc and cpb2). In contrast to other Cp strains, the cpb2 of JXJA17 was located on a large plasmid (58 kb) with no co-localization of other toxin genes or antibiotic resistance genes. Analysis of JXJA17 genome homology and its cpb2 would facilitate our further study the relationship between β2 toxin and piglet diarrhea.

Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium perfringens netB -Positive Strain 2016TE7641_69, Isolated from the Intestine of a Diseased Turkey in Italy

Abstract: Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Clostridium perfringens 2016TE7641_69, isolated from the intestine of a turkey reared in a conventional poultry flock located in central Italy, where animals were showing enteric disorders suggesting subclinical necrotic enteritis.
