“…Out of these 28, there is a distinct group of eight highly related bacteriophages: vB_EamM_Special G (Special G), vB_EamM_Simmy50 (Simmy50), vB_EamM_RAY (RAY), vB_EamM_Deimos-Minion (Deimos-Minion or DM), vB_EamM_Bosolaphorus (Bosolaphorus), vB_EamM_Desertfox (Desertfox), vB_EamM_MadMel (MadMel), and vB_EamM_Mortimer (Mortimer) very similar to Erwinia bacteriophage Ea35-70 which was isolated in Ontario, Canada (Yagubi et al, 2014). These nine bacteriophages were recently added as the Agrican357virus genus of bacteriophages by the ICTV (Kuhn et al, 2013; Adams et al, 2017) and are considered jumbo bacteriophages due to their large genome (>200 kb) and particle size (Yuan and Gao, 2017).…”

A Novel, Highly Related Jumbo Family of Bacteriophages That Were Isolated Against Erwinia

Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogen from the Erwiniaceae family and a causative agent of the devastating agricultural disease fire blight. Here we characterize eight lytic bacteriophages of E. amylovora that we isolated from the Wasatch front (Utah, United States) that are highly similar to vB_EamM_Ea35-70 which was isolated in Ontario, Canada. With the genome size ranging from 271 to 275 kb, this is a novel jumbo family of bacteriophages. These jumbo bacteriophages were further characterized through genomic and proteomic comparison, mass spectrometry, host range and burst size. Their proteomes are highly unstudied, with over 200 putative proteins with no known homologs. The production of 27 of these putative proteins was confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. These bacteriophages appear to be most similar to bacteriophages that infect Pseudomonas and Ralstonia rather than Enterobacteriales bacteria by protein similarity, however, we were only able to detect infection of Erwinia and the closely related strains of Pantoea .

“…Adenovirus species F mainly type 40 and 41 are found to be regularly associated with gastroenteritis and are grouped in enteric adenovirus. 12 It accounts for 20% of the diarrheal diseases globally especially in children below five years. Other species such as A, C, and D have also been associated with diarrhea.…”

Introduction: Globally enteric adenovirus has become the second leading cause of viral diarrhea. Present investigation was undertaken to understand the adenoviral etiology of diarrhea among hospitalized children in Assam, northeast India. Materials and methods: Over a period of two years (2013-2015), 455 faecal samples were collected from hospitalized children aged <5 years with diarrhea from Assam, northeast India for screening of rotavirus antigen. A total of 238 samples were rotavirus antigen negative and are screened for adenovirus antigen by ELISA and followed by PCR. Results: Present investigation revealed enteric adenovirus infection in hospitalized children <5 years to be 10.9% (26/238). Prevalence was higher among infants (16.6%) and females (15.1%). Moreover, severe diarrhea (≥10 times) 14.9% (P=0.047) and restlessness 50% (P=0.002) is significantly higher in enteric adenovirus infected children. Enteric adenovirus infection was observed sporadically throughout the year; however infection was higher during warmer months (17%) than cooler months (7.3%) (P=0.0001). Adenovirus sequence analysis of the hexon gene showed adenovirus F type-41 to be the predominant serotype circulating in the study region. Analysis of the adenovirus fiber protein of the present study confirmed 15 amino acid deletions from the 15 th repeat motif of the shaft region. Conclusions: Present data demonstrated that enteric adenovirus could be considered an important viral etiological agent for acute gastroenteritis among children in northeast India along with other etiology.
