Characterisation of Ornithobacterium hominis colonisation dynamics and interaction with the nasopharyngeal microbiome in a South African birth cohort

Article scientifique 2025 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Ornithobacterium hominis is a recently described Gram-negative bacterium that colonises the human nasopharynx and may be associated with poor upper respiratory tract health. Here, we describe the isolation of O. hominis from samples collected from a South African birth cohort, creating the first archive of cultured strains of the species from Africa. Sequenced genomes from this archive reveal that South African O. hominis is more similar to Australian strains than those from Southeast Asia, and that it may share genes with other members of the microbiome that are relevant for virulence, colonisation, and antibiotic resistance. Leveraging existing microbiome data from the cohort, O. hominis was found to be closely associated with bacterial co-colonisers that are rare in non-carrier individuals, including Suttonella , Helcococcus , Moraxella spp., and Gracilibacteria. Their collective acquisition has a significant impact on the diversity of nasopharyngeal communities that contain O. hominis . Individuals who have not yet acquired O. hominis have a higher abundance of Moraxella (particularly M. lincolnii ) than individuals who never acquire O. hominis , suggesting that this could be a precursor state for successful colonisation. Finally, a novel co-coloniser species, Helcococcus ekapensis , was successfully isolated and sequenced. Data Summary Ornithobacterium hominis data have been deposited under project accession ERP149886. This comprises genome sequences for isolates SA-OH-C1 (ERR13967269), SA-OH-C2 (ERR13967270), SA-OH-C3 (ERR13967271), SA-OH-C4 (ERR13967272, ERR13967275), SA-OH-C5 (ERR13967273), SA-OH-C6 (ERR13967274, ERR13967276). Previously published 16S rRNA gene data are deposited under project accessions PRJNA790843 and PRJNA548658. Helcococcus ekapensis genome data are deposited under project accession PRJEB85661.
