Little information is available on the genotypic characteristics of human  in Spain. This study is based on an analysis of the resistome, virulome, and phylogenetic relationship, antibiogram prediction, and antimicrobial susceptibility of 114 human isolates of  from a tertiary hospital in southern Spain from October 2020 to June 2023. The isolates were sequenced using Illumina technology, and a bioinformatic analysis was subsequently performed. The susceptibility of  isolates to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and erythromycin was also tested. The resistance rates for each antibiotic were 90.3% for ciprofloxacin, 66.7% for tetracycline, and 0.88% for erythromycin. The fluoroquinolone resistance rate obtained is well above the European average (69.1%). CC-21 ( = 23), ST-572 ( = 13), and ST-6532 ( = 13) were the most prevalent clonal complexes (CCs) and sequence types (STs). In the virulome, the , and  genes were detected in all the isolates. A prevalence of 20.1% was obtained for the genes  and , which are related to the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The prevalence of the main antimicrobial resistance markers detected were CmeABC (92.1%), RE-cmeABC (7.9%), the T86I substitution in  (88.9%),  (72.6%) (65.8%), and  (17.1%). High antibiogram prediction rates (&gt;97%) were obtained, except for in the case of the erythromycin-resistant phenotype. This study contributes significantly to the knowledge of  genomics for the prevention, treatment, and control of infections caused by this pathogen.IMPORTANCEDespite being the pathogen with the greatest number of gastroenteritis cases worldwide,  remains a poorly studied microorganism. A sustained increase in fluoroquinolone resistance in human isolates is a problem when treating  infections. The development of whole genome sequencing (WGS) techniques has allowed us to better understand the genotypic characteristics of this pathogen and relate them to antibiotic resistance phenotypes. These techniques complement the data obtained from the phenotypic analysis of  isolates. The zoonotic transmission of  through the consumption of contaminated poultry supports approaching the study of this pathogen through &quot;One Health&quot; approach. In addition, due to the limited information on the genomic characteristics of  in Spain, this study provides important data and allows us to compare the results with those obtained in other countries.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio"

copy number variations (CNVs), and intragenic deletions and mutations, has been recurrently involved in syndromic forms of developmental delay and intellectual disability, known as AUTS2 syndrome. The AUTS2 gene plays an important role in regulation of neuronal migration, and when altered, associates with a variable phenotype from severely to mildly affected patients. The more severe phenotypes significantly correlate with the presence of defects affecting the C-terminus part of the gene. This article reports a new patient with a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder, who presents a deletion of 30 nucleotides in the exon 9 of the AUTS2 gene. Importantly, this deletion includes the transcription start site for the AUTS2 short transcript isoform, which has an important role in brain development. Gene expression analysis of AUTS2 full-length and short isoforms revealed that the deletion found in this patient causes a remarkable reduction in the expression level, not only of the short isoform, but also of the full AUTS2 transcripts. This report adds more evidence for the role of mutated AUTS2 short transcripts in the development of a severe phenotype in the AUTS2 syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), Kindler syndrome (KS) and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) are three cancer-prone genodermatoses whose causal genetic mutations cannot fully explain, on their own, the array of associated phenotypic manifestations. Recent evidence highlights the role of the stromal microenvironment in the pathology of these disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To investigate, by means of comparative gene expression analysis, the role played by dermal fibroblasts in the pathogenesis of RDEB, KS and XPC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted RNA-Seq analysis, which included a thorough examination of the differentially expressed genes, a functional enrichment analysis and a description of affected signalling circuits. Transcriptomic data were validated at the protein level in cell cultures, serum samples and skin biopsies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Interdisease comparisons against control fibroblasts revealed a unifying signature of 186 differentially expressed genes and four signalling pathways in the three genodermatoses. Remarkably, some of the uncovered expression changes suggest a synthetic fibroblast phenotype characterized by the aberrant expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Western blot and immunofluorescence in situ analyses validated the RNA-Seq data. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed increased circulating levels of periostin in patients with RDEB.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results suggest that the different causal genetic defects converge into common changes in gene expression, possibly due to injury-sensitive events. These, in turn, trigger a cascade of reactions involving abnormal ECM deposition and underexpression of antioxidant enzymes. The elucidated expression signature provides new potential biomarkers and common therapeutic targets in RDEB, XPC and KS. What's already known about this topic? Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), Kindler syndrome (KS) and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) are three genodermatoses with high predisposition to cancer development. Although their causal genetic mutations mainly affect epithelia, the dermal microenvironment likely contributes to the physiopathology of these disorders. What does this study add? We disclose a large overlapping transcription profile between XPC, KS and RDEB fibroblasts that points towards an activated phenotype with high matrix-synthetic capacity. This common signature seems to be independent of the primary causal deficiency, but reflects an underlying derangement of the extracellular matrix via transforming growth factor-β signalling activation and oxidative state imbalance. What is the translational message? This study broadens the current knowledge about the pathology of these diseases and highlights new targets and biomarkers for effective therapeutic intervention. It is suggested that high levels of circulating periostin could represent a potential biomarker in RDEB.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30693469?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urreizti, Roser</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roca-Ayats, Neus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trepat, Judith</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garcia-Garcia, Francisco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alemán, Alejandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orteschi, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marangi, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Opitz, John M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dopazo, Joaquin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cormand, Bru</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vilageliu, Lluïsa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balcells, Susana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grinberg, Daniel</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Screening of CD96 and ASXL1 in 11 patients with Opitz C or Bohring-Opitz syndromes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Genet A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Genet A</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antigens, CD</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Craniosynostoses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intellectual Disability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Repressor Proteins</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">170A</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24-31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Opitz C trigonocephaly (or Opitz C syndrome, OTCS) and Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOS or C-like syndrome) are two rare genetic disorders with phenotypic overlap. The genetic causes of these diseases are not understood. However, two genes have been associated with OTCS or BOS with dominantly inherited de novo mutations. Whereas CD96 has been related to OTCS (one case) and to BOS (one case), ASXL1 has been related to BOS only (several cases). In this study we analyze CD96 and ASXL1 in a group of 11 affected individuals, including 2 sibs, 10 of them were diagnosed with OTCS, and one had a BOS phenotype. Exome sequences were available on six patients with OTCS and three parent pairs. Thus, we could analyze the CD96 and ASXL1 sequences in these patients bioinformatically. Sanger sequencing of all exons of CD96 and ASXL1 was carried out in the remaining patients. Detailed scrutiny of the sequences and assessment of variants allowed us to exclude putative pathogenic and private mutations in all but one of the patients. In this patient (with BOS) we identified a de novo mutation in ASXL1 (c.2100dupT). By nature and location within the gene, this mutation resembles those previously described in other BOS patients and we conclude that it may be responsible for the condition. Our results indicate that in 10 of 11, the disease (OTCS or BOS) cannot be explained by small changes in CD96 or ASXL1. However, the cohort is too small to make generalizations about the genetic etiology of these diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26768331?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucariello, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vidal, Enrique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vidal, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saez, Mauricio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roa, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huertas, Dori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pineda, Mercè</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalfó, Esther</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dopazo, Joaquin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jurado, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Armstrong, Judith</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esteller, Manel</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Whole exome sequencing of Rett syndrome-like patients reveals the mutational diversity of the clinical phenotype.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Genet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caenorhabditis elegans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrier Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Cycle Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Mutational Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forkhead Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methyl-CpG-Binding Protein 2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nerve Tissue Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Serine-Threonine Kinases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Nicotinic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rett Syndrome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 12</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">135</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1343-1354</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Classical Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder where most of cases carry MECP2 mutations. Atypical RTT variants involve mutations in CDKL5 and FOXG1. However, a subset of RTT patients remains that do not carry any mutation in the described genes. Whole exome sequencing was carried out in a cohort of 21 female probands with clinical features overlapping with those of RTT, but without mutations in the customarily studied genes. Candidates were functionally validated by assessing the appearance of a neurological phenotype in Caenorhabditis elegans upon disruption of the corresponding ortholog gene. We detected pathogenic variants that accounted for the RTT-like phenotype in 14 (66.6 %) patients. Five patients were carriers of mutations in genes already known to be associated with other syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders. We determined that the other patients harbored mutations in genes that have not previously been linked to RTT or other neurodevelopmental syndromes, such as the ankyrin repeat containing protein ANKRD31 or the neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5 (CHRNA5). Furthermore, worm assays demonstrated that mutations in the studied candidate genes caused locomotion defects. Our findings indicate that mutations in a variety of genes contribute to the development of RTT-like phenotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27541642?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heyn, Holger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vidal, Enrique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sayols, Sergi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanchez-Mut, Jose V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moran, Sebastian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medina, Ignacio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandoval, Juan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simó-Riudalbas, Laia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Szczesna, Karolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huertas, Dori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gatto, Sole</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Maria R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dopazo, Joaquin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esteller, Manel</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Whole-genome bisulfite DNA sequencing of a DNMT3B mutant patient.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenetics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenetics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">B-Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line, Transformed</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA (Cytosine-5-)-Methyltransferases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Methylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenesis, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Face</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sulfites</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jun 01</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">542-50</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is associated to mutations of the DNA methyl-transferase DNMT3B, resulting in a reduction of enzyme activity. Aberrant expression of immune system genes and hypomethylation of pericentromeric regions accompanied by chromosomal instability were determined as alterations driving the disease phenotype. However, so far only technologies capable to analyze single loci were applied to determine epigenetic alterations in ICF patients. In the current study, we performed whole-genome bisulphite sequencing to assess alteration in DNA methylation at base pair resolution. Genome-wide we detected a decrease of methylation level of 42%, with the most profound changes occurring in inactive heterochromatic regions, satellite repeats and transposons. Interestingly, transcriptional active loci and ribosomal RNA repeats escaped global hypomethylation. Despite a genome-wide loss of DNA methylation the epigenetic landscape and crucial regulatory structures were conserved. Remarkably, we revealed a mislocated activity of mutant DNMT3B to H3K4me1 loci resulting in hypermethylation of active promoters. Functionally, we could associate alterations in promoter methylation with the ICF syndrome immunodeficient phenotype by detecting changes in genes related to the B-cell receptor mediated maturation pathway.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22595875?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
