“…Importantly, USA100 strains are a leading cause of invasive disease among MRSA isolates and represent the majority of vancomycin-resistant/-intermediate S. aureus isolates ( 8 , 9 ). In northern Europe, USA600 strains are the predominant human colonizers and were epidemic throughout Germany and the Netherlands ( 10 ). Recent reports noted increased detection and causation of lethal invasive disease by strains of this lineage in the United States ( 10 – 12 ).…”

S. aureus is the leading cause of infective endocarditis in the developed world, affecting ~40,000 individuals each year in the United States, and the second leading cause of bacteremia (D. R. Murdoch et al., Arch Intern Med 169:463–473, 2009, http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinternmed.2008.603, and H. Wisplinghoff et al., Clin Infect Dis 39:309–317, 2004, http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/421946). Even with current medical advances, S. aureus bloodstream infections and infective endocarditis carry mortality rates of 20 to 66% (S. Y. Tong et al., Clin Microbiol Rev 28:603–661, 2015, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00134-14). S. aureus lineages associated with human disease worldwide include clonal complex 5 (CC5)/USA100, CC30/USA200, CC8/USA300, CC1/USA400, and CC45/USA600. The CC5/USA100, CC30/USA200, and CC45/USA600 lineages cause invasive disease yet remain poorly characterized. USA300 and cytotoxins are central to most S. aureus virulence studies, and yet, we find evidence that clonal groups are quite heterogeneous in parameters canonically used to measure virulence, including cytotoxicity, biofilm formation, and blood survival, and that the superantigen profile is an important parameter to consider when defining the virulence of S. aureus strains.

“…An elegant study by Wang and co-workers, has demonstrated prophage DNA plays a significant role in host resistance to numerous stresses, including osmotic stress [ 57 ]. The phage-associated protein on SMG 25 shares 52% identity with a similar protein from Rhizobium lupini HPC(L) (100% coverage over 159 amino acids), Interestingly, this organism was recently sequenced following isolation from a saline desert soil [ 58 ]. Rhizobium species belong to the phylum Proteobacteria and, based on taxonomic assignment with MEGAN 4, proteobacterial sequences were found on all the larger scaffolds with an stlA homologue ( Figure S3 .)…”

Functional Environmental Screening of a Metagenomic Library Identifies stlA; A Unique Salt Tolerance Locus from the Human Gut Microbiome

et al. 2013

Functional environmental screening of metagenomic libraries is a powerful means to identify and assign function to novel genes and their encoded proteins without any prior sequence knowledge. In the current study we describe the identification and subsequent analysis of a salt-tolerant clone from a human gut metagenomic library. Following transposon mutagenesis we identified an unknown gene (stlA, for “salt tolerance locus A”) with no current known homologues in the databases. Subsequent cloning and expression in Escherichia coli MKH13 revealed that stlA confers a salt tolerance phenotype in its surrogate host. Furthermore, a detailed in silico analysis was also conducted to gain additional information on the properties of the encoded StlA protein. The stlA gene is rare when searched against human metagenome datasets such as MetaHit and the Human Microbiome Project and represents a novel and unique salt tolerance determinant which appears to be found exclusively in the human gut environment.

“…ISTD04 revealed the presence of phosphoribulokinase (PRK) and other CBB pathway genes. However, the RuBisCo gene could not be identified in the genome assembly ( 12 ). The carbonic anhydrase, an important facilitator enzyme, is also present in the genome ( 13 ).…”
