Abstract

The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a Gram-negative bacterial, including Burkholderia contaminans species. Although the plain Burkholderia is pervasive from taxonomic and genetic perspectives, a common characteristic is that they may use the quorum-sensing (QS) system. In our previous study, we generated the complete genome sequence of Burkholderia contaminans SK875 isolated from the respiratory tract. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report functional genomic features of B. contaminans SK875 for understanding the pathogenic characteristics. In addition, comparative genomic analysis for five B. contaminans genomes was performed to provide comprehensive information on the disease potential of B. contaminans species. Analysis of average nucleotide identity (ANI) showed that the genome has high similarity (> 96%) with other B. contaminans strains. Five B. contaminans genomes yielded a pangenome of 8832 coding genes, a core genome of 5452 genes, the accessory genome of 2128 genes, and a unique genome of 1252 genes. The 186 genes were specific to B. contaminans SK875, including toxin higB-2, oxygen-dependent choline dehydrogenase, and hypothetical proteins. Genotypic analysis of the antimicrobial resistance of B. contaminans SK875 verified resistance to tetracycline, fluoroquinolone, and aminoglycoside. Compared with the virulence factor database, we identified 79 promising virulence genes such as adhesion system, invasions, antiphagocytic, and secretion systems. Moreover, 45 genes of 57 QS-related genes that were identified in B. contaminans SK875 indicated high sequence homology with other B. contaminans strains. Our results will help to gain insight into virulence, antibiotic resistance, and quorum sensing for B. contaminans species.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2023.
All research outputs
#19,860,456
of 24,406,441 outputs
Outputs from AMB Express
#839
of 1,285 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#301,985
of 408,578 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AMB Express
#11
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,406,441 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,285 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 408,578 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
