contents Multiscale comparative pathogenomic analysis of Vibrio anguillarum linking serotype diversity, genomic plasticity and pathogenicity. Shahed, Khandker Chakma, Ashim Manjur, Omar Hamza Bin Islam, Sk Injamamul Vibrio anguillarum is a major marine fish pathogen causing high mortality and potential zoonotic risks. Understanding its genomic diversity, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance is crucial for aquaculture disease management. In this study, a comparative pan-genomic analysis of 16 V. anguillarum strains was conducted to examine core and accessory genome diversity, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The phylogenetic analysis was conducted using six core genes and SNPs to evaluate evolutionary relationships and pathogenic traits. The core genome contained 2,038 unique ORFs, while the accessory genome had 5,197 cloud genes, confirming an open pangenome. This study identified 118 pathogenic genomic islands, antibiotic resistance genes (tetracycline, quinolone, and carbapenem), and virulence factors, including type VI secretion system (T6SS) components and RTX toxins (hcp-2, vipB/mglB, rtxC). Core genes such as ftsI uncovered substantial evolutionary divergence among species, identifying more than 150 distinct SNPs. Phylogenetic analysis showed serotype-specific clustering, with O1 strains displaying genetic homogeneity, whereas O2 and O3 exhibited divergence, suggesting distinct evolutionary adaptations influencing pathogenicity and ecological interactions. These findings provide primary insights for developing molecular markers and targeted treatments for aquaculture pathogens.
