Grey and harbor seals in France (mainland and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon): microbial communities and identification of a microbial source tracking seal marker by Alisson Godino Sanchez, Joëlle Serghine, Cécile Le Mennec, Cyril Noël, Julien Schaeffer, Herlé Goraguer, Cécile Vincent, Thomas Vitré, Françoise S. Le Guyader, Michèle Gourmelon

“…However, rising concerns about their increasing numbers in some areas have led to potential worries regarding microbiological contamination of coastal areas by their feces, which could impact bathing and shellfish-harvesting activities. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the bacterial and RNA viral communities present in the feces of both grey and harbor seals, which are the two main seal species observed in mainland France and overseas.MethodsFecal bacterial (n = 132) and RNA viral (n = 40) communities of seals were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon high-throughput sequencing and viral RNA sequencing methods, respectively. …”

Genomic characterization of noroviruses from an outbreak associated with oysters by Annika Flint, Jennifer Harlow, Madison McLeod, Madeleine Blondin-Brosseau, Kelly Weedmark, Neda Nasheri

“…We also analyzed amino acid variations in the sequenced genomes and found that overall the GII.3[P12] isolates have lower variations compared to other genotypes.IMPORTANCENorovirus outbreaks associated with contaminated shellfish occur frequently. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) could play a critical role in understanding and controlling norovirus outbreaks as it allows for source attribution, tracking transmission pathways, and detecting recurrent or linked outbreaks. …”
