Abstract

a) Background: Tenacibaculum maritimum is a worldwide-distributed fish pathogen known for causing dramatic damages on a broad range of wild and farmed marine fish populations. Recently sequenced genome of T. maritimum strain NCIMB 2154 T provided unprecedented information on the possible molecular mechanisms involved in virulence for this species. However, little is known on the dynamic on the infection in vivo , and information are lacking on both the intrinsic host response (gene expression) and its associated microbiome community. Here, we applied complementary omic approaches, including dual RNAseq and 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding sequencing using Nanopore and short-reads Illumina technologies to unravel the host-pathogens interplay in experimental infection system using the tropical fish Platax orbicularis as model. b) Results: We show that T. maritimum transcriptomic landscape during infection is characterized by an enhancement of antibiotic catalytic and glucan catalytic functions while decreasing specific sulphate assimilation process, compared to in vitro cultures. Simultaneously, fish host display a large palette of immune effectors, notably involving innate response and triggering acute inflammatory response. In addition, results suggest that fish activate adaptive immune response visible through stimulation of T-helper cells, Th17, with congruent reduction of Th2 and T-regulatory cells. Fish were however largely sensitive to infection, and less than 25% of them survived after 96hpi. These surviving fish showed no evidence of stress (cortisol levels) as well as no significant difference in microbiome diversity compared to control at the same sampling time. The presence of Tenacibaculum in resistant fish skin and the total absence of any skin lesion suggest that these fish did not escape contact with the pathogen but rather prevent the pathogen entry. In these individuals we detected the up-regulation of specific immune-related genes differentiating resistant from control at 96hpi, which suggests a possible genomic basis of resistance while no genetic variations in coding regions was reported. c) Conclusion: Here we refine the interplay between common fish pathogens and host immune response during experimental infection. We further highlight key actors of defense response, pathogenicity and possible genomic bases of resistance to T. maritimum .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
