Custom Vibrio cholerae database info

This docker image includes a Vibrio cholerae-specific database of gene targets (traditionally used in PCR methods) for detecting O1 & O139 serotypes, toxin-production markers, and Biotype markers within the O1 serogroup ("El Tor" or "Classical" biotypes). These sequences were shared via personal communication with Dr. Christine Lee, of the National Listeria, Yersinia, Vibrio and Enterobacterales Reference Laboratory within the Enteric Diseases Laboratory Branch at CDC.

The genes included (and their purpose) included in the database are as follows:

• ctxA - Cholera toxin, an indication of toxigenic cholerae
• ompW - outer membrane protein, a V. cholerae species marker (presence of any allele of this gene distinguishes V. cholerae from V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus)
• tcpA - toxin co-pilus A, used to infer Biotype, either "El Tor" or "Clasical"
  • database includes an allele for each Biotype. tcpA_classical and tcpA_ElTor
• toxR - transcriptional activator (controls cholera toxin, pilus, and outer-membrane protein expression) - Species marker (allele distinguishes V. cholerae from V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus)
• wbeN - O antigen encoding region - used to identify the O1 serogroup
• wbfR - O antigen encoding region - used to identify the O139 serogroup

⚠️ The database's FASTA file & index files are located within /abricate-$1.0.1/db/vibrio/sequences in the container's file system and can be utilized via the example command below.

⚠️ This database is identical in nucleotide sequence content to the vibrio_230224.fasta database included in the SRST2 container (located at srst2/0.2.0-vibrio-230224/vibrio_230224.fasta), but the FASTA headers were formatted for use with ABRicate.
