Microbial risk assessment of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica in polluted environments, case of urban rainfall water

Résumé

Urban Infiltration Basins (UIBs) are used to manage urban runoff transfers and feed aquifers. These UIBs can accumulate urban pollutants and favor the growth of potentially pathogenic biological agents as Nocardia.Objectives: To assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of pathogenic Nocardia in UIBs and to stablish phylogenetic relationships between clinical and UIB N. cyriacigeorgica strains. To assess pathogenicity associated with environmental N. cyriacigeorgica using an animal model, and to identify genetic elements that may be associated to its virulence.Methods: A well-characterized UIB in terms of chemical pollutants from Lyon area was used in this study during a whole year. Cultural and Next-Generation-Sequencing methods were used for Nocardia detection and typing. Clinical and environmental isolates phylogenetic relationships and virulences were compared with Multilocus-Sequence-Analysis study together with a murine model.Results: In autumn, N. cyriacigeorgica and N. nova were the pathogenic most prevalent species in the UIB. The complex N. abscessus/asiatica was also detected together with some other non-pathogenic species. The presence of pathogenic Nocardia was positively correlated to metallic trace elements. Up to 1.0 x 10(3) CFU/g sediment of N. cyriacigeorgica and 6 OTUs splited in two different phylogroups were retrieved and were close to clinical strains. The EML446 tested UIB isolate showed significant infectivity in mice with pulmonary damages similar to clinical clone (GUH-2).Conclusion: Hsp65 marker-based metabarcoding approach allowed detecting N. cyriacigeogica as the most abundant Nocardia pathogenic species in a UIB. Metal trace elements-polluted environments can be reservoirs of pathogenic Nocardia which may have a similar virulence to clinical strains. (C) 2020 The Author(s).
