Phylogenomics picks out the par excellence markers for species phylogeny in the genus Staphylococcus
Although genome sequencing has become a very promising approach to conduct microbial taxonomy, few labs have the resources to afford this especially when dealing with data sets of hundreds to thousands of isolates. The goal of this study was to identify the most adequate loci for inferring the phylo...

description | Although genome sequencing has become a very promising approach to conduct microbial taxonomy, few labs have the resources to afford this especially when dealing with data sets of hundreds to thousands of isolates. The goal of this study was to identify the most adequate loci for inferring the phylogeny of the species within the genus Staphylococcus; with the idea that those who cannot afford whole genome sequencing can use these loci to carry out species assignation confidently. We retrieved 177 orthologous groups (OGs) by using a genome-based phylogeny and an average nucleotide identity analysis. The top 26 OGs showed topologies similar to the species tree and the concatenation of them yielded a topology almost identical to that of the species tree. Furthermore, a phylogeny of just the top seven OGs could be used for species assignment. We sequenced four staphylococcus isolates to test the 26 OGs and found that these OGs were far superior to commonly used markers for this genus. On the whole, our procedure allowed identification of the most adequate markers for inferring the phylogeny within the genus Staphylococcus. We anticipate that this approach will be employed for the identification of the most suitable markers for other bacterial genera and can be very helpful to sort out poorly classified genera. |
