Close repetitive DNA sequences often associate with surface antigens to promote genetic variability in pathogenic bacteria. The genome of <jats:italic>Burkholderia cenocepacia<\/jats:italic> J2315, a CF isolate belonging to the epidemic lineage Edinburgh\u2013Toronto (ET-12), was analysed for the presence of close repetitive DNA sequences. Among the 422 DNA close repeats, 45 genes potentially involved in virulence were identified and grouped into 12 classes; of these, 13 genes were included in the antigens class. Two trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAA) among the 13 putative antigens are absent from the other <jats:italic>Burkholderia<\/jats:italic> genomes and are clustered downstream of the <jats:italic>cci<\/jats:italic> island that is a marker for transmissible <jats:italic>B. cenocepacia<\/jats:italic> strains. This cluster contains four adhesins, one outer-membrane protein, one sensor histidine kinase and two transcriptional regulators. By using PCR, we analysed three genes among 47 Bcc isolates to determine whether the cluster was conserved. These three genes were present in the isolates of the ET-12 lineage but absent in all the other members. Furthermore, the <jats:italic>BCAM0224<\/jats:italic> gene was exclusively detected in this epidemic lineage and may serve as a valuable new addition to the field of Bcc diagnostics. The <jats:italic>BCAM0224<\/jats:italic> gene encodes a putative TAA that demonstrates adhesive properties to the extracellular matrix protein collagen type I. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that <jats:italic>BCAM0224<\/jats:italic> gene expression occurred preferentially for cells grown under high osmolarity, oxygen-limited conditions and oxidative stress. Inactivation of <jats:italic>BCAM0224<\/jats:italic> in <jats:italic>B. cenocepacia<\/jats:italic> attenuates the ability of the mutant to promote cell adherence <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and impairs the overall bacterial virulence against <jats:italic>Galleria mellonella<\/jats:italic> as a model of infection. Together, our data show that BCAM0224 from <jats:italic>B. cenocepacia<\/jats:italic> J2315 represents a new collagen-binding TAA with no bacterial orthologues which has an important role in cellular adhesion and virulence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/mic.0.032623-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,18]],"date-time":"2009-12-18T03:46:03Z","timestamp":1261107963000},"page":"1084-1096","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Genome-wide analysis of DNA repeats in Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 identifies a novel adhesin-like gene unique to epidemic-associated strains of the ET-12 lineage"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"156","author":[{"given":"Dalila","family":"Mil-Homens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IBB-Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Center for Biological and Chemical Engineering, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Lisbon 1049-001, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Eduardo P.
