Long-read sequencing to interrogate strain-level variation among adherent-invasive Escherichia coli isolated from human intestinal tissue

Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a pathovar linked to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, and colorectal cancer. AIEC are genetically diverse, and in the absence of a universal molecular signature, are defined by in vitro functional attributes. The relative abi...

description Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a pathovar linked to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, and colorectal cancer. AIEC are genetically diverse, and in the absence of a universal molecular signature, are defined by in vitro functional attributes. The relative ability of difference AIEC strains to colonize, persist, and induce inflammation in an IBD-susceptible host is unresolved. To evaluate strain-level variation among tissue-associated E. coli in the intestines, we develop a long-read sequencing approach to identify AIEC by strain that excludes host DNA. We use this approach to distinguish genetically similar strains and assess their fitness in colonizing the intestine.
