Vibrio cincinnatiensis is a halophilic species which has been found in marine and estuarine environments worldwide. The species is considered a rare pathogen for which the significance for humans is unclear. In this study, nine veterinary isolates were investigated that were obtained from domestic animals in Germany. The isolates were mostly recovered from abortion material of pigs, cattle, and horse (amnion or fetuses). One isolate was from a goose. A human clinical strain from a case of enteritis in Germany described in the literature was also included in the study. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of all isolates and MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted-laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry) were performed to verify the species assignment. All strains were investigated for phenotypic traits including antimicrobial resistance (AMR), biochemical properties, and two virulence-associated phenotypes (hemolytic activity and resistance to human serum). WGS data and MS spectra confirmed that all veterinary isolates are closely related to the type strain V. cincinnatiensis NCTC12012. An exception was the human isolate from Germany which is related to the other isolates but could belong to another species. The isolates were similar in most biochemical phenotypes. Only one strain showed a very weak hemolytic activity against sheep erythrocytes, and serum resistance was intermediate in two strains. AMR phenotypes were more variable between the isolates. Resistances were observed against ß-lactams ampicillin and cefoxitin and against tetracycline and the sulfonamide antibiotics trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Some acquired AMR genes were identified by bioinformatics analyses. WGS and MALDI-TOF MS data reveal a close relationship of the veterinary isolates and the type strain V. cincinnatiensis NCTC12012, which is a clinical human isolate. As the veterinary isolates of this study were mostly recovered from abortion material (amnions and fetuses), a zoonotic potential of the veterinary isolates seems possible.

AbstractA group of six clinical isolates previously identified as Corynebacterium diphtheriae biovar Belfanti, isolated from human cutaneous or peritoneum infections and from one dog, were characterized by genomic sequencing, biochemical analysis and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The six isolates were negative for the diphtheria toxin gene. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the six isolates (including FRC0190T) are clearly demarcated from C. diphtheriae, C. belfantii, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis. The average nucleotide identity of FRC0190T with C. diphtheriae NCTC 11397T was 92.6%, and was 91.8% with C. belfantii FRC0043T. C. diphtheriae subsp. lausannense strain CHUV2995T appeared to be a later heterotypic synonym of C. belfantii (ANI, 99.3%). Phenotyping data revealed an atypical negative or heterogeneous intermediate maltose fermentation reaction for the six isolates. MALDI-TOF MS differentiated the new group from the other Corynebacterium taxa by the presence of specific spectral peaks. rpoB sequences showed identity to atypical, maltose-negative C. diphtheriae biovar Belfanti isolates previously described from two cats in the USA. We propose the name Corynebacterium rouxii sp. nov. for the novel group, with FRC0190T (= CIP 111752T = DSM 110354T) as type strain.

Routinely used diagnostic methods are insufficient to identify the microorganisms with unusual biochemical properties or less commonly occurring, including zoonotic microorganisms. During our study the possibility of identification of different bacteria isolated from humans and from breeding birds using MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry) and biochemical methods was compared. The material for the study were 6 reference strains from ATCC, 30 isolates selected from healthy people (throat and nasal swabs) and 16 isolates selected from birds breeding (throat swabs from the vicinity of throat of asymptomatic birds and biopsies from the heart of the dead birds). Isolates were identified based on their biochemical properties (biochemical microtests and panels for biochemical analyzer Vitek 2) or based on a protein profile using MALDI-TOF MS technique. Biochemical methods were sufficient to identify the most common and relevant to human pathology pathogens such as e.g. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus; these results were consistent with the data obtained using MALDI-TOF MS. Identification of less common bacteria required the use of MALDI-TOF MS, because some bacteria isolated from humans or breeding birds could not be classified by their biochemical properties. The biggest differences were observed in the case of bacteria from the Pasteurellaceae family, which on the basis of biochemical properties were classified mainly as Haemophilus spp., whereas in accordance to the results obtained from the protein profile as Avibacterium endocarditidis. Identification of microorganisms using MALDI-TOF MS has proved to be more useful in the diagnosis of micro-organisms rarely isolated or problematic in routine diagnostics.
