Long-read sequencing to interrogate strain-level variation among adherent-invasive Escherichia coli isolated from human intestinal tissue
Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a pathovar linked to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, and colorectal cancer. AIEC are genetically diverse, and in the absence of a universal molecular signature, are defined by in vitro functional attributes. The relative abi...

description | Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a pathovar linked to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, and colorectal cancer. AIEC are genetically diverse, and in the absence of a universal molecular signature, are defined by in vitro functional attributes. The relative ability of difference AIEC strains to colonize, persist, and induce inflammation in an IBD-susceptible host is unresolved. To evaluate strain-level variation among tissue-associated E. coli in the intestines, we develop a long-read sequencing approach to identify AIEC by strain that excludes host DNA. We use this approach to distinguish genetically similar strains and assess their fitness in colonizing the intestine. Here we have assembled complete genomes using long-read nanopore sequencing for a model AIEC strain, NC101, and seven strains isolated from the intestinal mucosa of Crohn’s disease and non-Crohn’s tissues. We show these strains can colonize the intestine of IBD susceptible mice and induce inflammatory cytokines from cultured macrophages. We demonstrate that these strains can be quantified and distinguished in the presence of 99.5% mammalian DNA and from within a fecal population. Analysis of global genomic structure and specific sequence variation within the ribosomal RNA operon provides a framework for efficiently tracking strain-level variation of closely-related E. coli and likely other commensal/pathogenic bacteria impacting intestinal inflammation in experimental settings and IBD patients. |
