Leptospira biodiversity

An unexpected Leptospira biodiversity in New Caledonian soils
Principal investigator Cyrille Goarant
Focal point IPNC Roman Thibeaux, Cyrille Goarant
Collaborators at IPNC Marie-Estelle Soupé-Gilbert, Dominique Girault, Emilie Bierque
Other Collaborators Mathieu Picardeau, IPP, Gregorio Iraola and Ignacio Ferres, IP Montevideo
Total budget of project 3000 € Budget devoted to IPNC : NA
Funding IPNC
Timeline Start date: 2016 End date: 2018
Context

Following the demonstration of the environmental survival of pathogenic leptospires at sites of human contamination in New Caledonia, isolation of Leptospira were undertaken.

Infectious strains were not re-isolated from the environment, but a large number of isolates were obtained. Difficulties of identification (MALDI-TOF, 16S rRNA sequencing) led us to suspect novel species and to undertake the sequencing of their complete genome.
Objectives
Perform a genomic study of leptospires isolated from Caledonian soils.
Methods

Isolations were carried out from field soil or water samples. Liquid cultures in EMJH medium were supplemented with a combination of antibiotics described to select growth of leptospires (Chakraborty et al, 2011). The cultures were then spread on EMJH agar medium for isolation.

The isolates were identified with MALDI-TOF and by sequencing their complete genome. Strains of the pathogenic and intermediate clusters are tested in animal models.
Results
More than 100 environmental isolates have been obtained. The first 26 strains for which the complete genome was sequenced showed the presence of 12 novel species: 3 in the pathogen cluster, 5 intermediates and 4 saprophytes.

Strains of the pathogen cluster were unable to cause acute infection in hamsters or renal carriage in mice.

A detailed comparison of core genomes and accessory genomes supports the hypothesis of a polyphyletic group of leptospires with low virulence within the pathogen cluster. This result suggests, in terms of evolution, that virulence was acquired independently in the pathogen and intermediate clusters.

Preliminary results from other isolates suggest other new species.

 

 
Prospects
These 12 novel species should be validly described and named. The new isolates will also be studied. Specific PCR will be designed and tested.
