(A0248, Ames, Ames Ancestor, CDC684, H0491, and Sterne) are currently available. In this report, we add three African strain genomes:
Sen2Col2, Sen3 and Gmb1. To study the pan-genome of B. anthracis, we used bioinformatics tools, such as Cluster of Orthologous Groups,
and performed phylogenetic analysis. We found that the three African strains contained the pX01 and pX02 plasmids, the nonsense
mutation in the plcR gene and the four known prophages. These strains are most similar to the CDC684 strain and belong to the A cluster.
We estimated that the B. anthracis pan-genome has 2893 core genes (99% of the genome size) and 85 accessory genes. We validated the
hypothesis that B. anthracis has a closed pan-genome and found that the three African strains carry the two plasmids associated with
bacterial virulence. The pan-genome nature of B. anthracis confirms its lack of exchange (similar to Clostridium tetani) and supports its
exclusively pathogenic role, despite its survival in the environment. Moreover, thanks to the study of the core content single nucleotide
polymorphisms, we can see that our three African strains diverged very recently from the other B. anthracis strains. |
