Full textInfectious diseases have recessed during the 20th century thanks to antibiotics. However, some bacterial strains like Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa have become (multi)resistant to antibiotic treatments because of overuse. One way to combat this is to reduce consumption of drugs or to better target those that will eliminate a given strain. We wish to develop sensitive surfaces and devices for the early and rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in fluids. They will help limit contaminations and the use of drugs. The project gathers 3 partners working in synergy because they combine expertise in physical-chemistry, synthetic chemistry and microbiology. Fluorescent nanoobjects that are biocompatible and sensitive to bacterial growth will be immobilized on glass surfaces. They will be selective for pathogenic bacteria by post-synthetic modifications. The final goal is to build miniaturized sensitive devices that can detect pathogens and further test their resistance to antibiotics

Full textWe applied FISH methods to the study of three intracellular pathogenic bacteria. The viability of Bartonella henselae was evaluated in a large series of lymph nodes from patients with cat scratch disease (CSD). The results obtained, associated with sterile cultures and negative histological analyzes and FISH, as well as the low level of RNA detected by molecular biology, provide evidence that B. henselae are not or are rarely viable in the lymph nodes of patients with CSD. Tropheryma whipplei has been identified by FISH in macrophages from one lymph node and for the first time in a pulmonary biopsy, confirming the diagnosis of infection. Two methods of FISH have been tested to detect Coxiella burnetii in cases of endocarditis and vascular infections using oligonucleotide and PNA probes. The results attested to the greater efficiency of PNA probes, and demonstrated that FISH were applicable for the diagnosis of C. burnetii endocarditis. We also evaluated the molecular strategies used for syndrome-driven diagnosis of infectious diseases. Although conventional broad-spectrum PCR allows for the identification of fastidious and anaerobic microorganisms, real-time specific PCR reveals a significant superiority in syndrome-driven diagnosis. The addition of specific PCRs in real time PCR would improve our molecular strategies, for example, in the case of the detection of Staphylococcus aureus for the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. In conclusion, this work demonstrates the effectiveness and applicability of FISH for the identification of intracellular bacteria. This method can be used as an important complementary tool to the improvement of clinical microbiological diagnosis

Full textAntibiotics have been used for the treatment of bacterial infections for over 70 years, saving millions of lives. The current antibiotic resistance crisis has been attributed to the overuse and misuse of these medications. Therefore, the prevention of infection transmission by the rapid and sensitive detection of antibiotic resistant strains is needed in managing this crisis. Fluorescent polymers show great potential for bacteria detection, because they are easy to functionalize, reproduce and graft. Compared with the methods used for bacterial detection in liquid, bacterial detection on a film surface is more convenient, easier to handle and is applied in devices that can be easily reused. The goal of my PhD work is to develop fluorescent and sensitive nanostructured polymer films on surfaces for bacterial detection. Three types of BODIPY-based fluorescent polyelectrolytes (FPC) with different features were synthetized based on reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization: relatively Short chains and Weak polyelectrolytes (SW FPC), Short chains and Strong polyelectrolytes (SS FPCs) and Long chains and Weak polyelectrolytes (LW FPCs). FPC LbL films were fabricated on activated glass slides by means of electrostatic attraction. The photophysical and surface properties of FPC LbL fims were easily controlled by adjusting the deposition conditions.The following step aimed at increasing the films’ sensitivity by using the metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) principle. A MEF based LbL film was prepared and tested for bacteria detection. Spherical gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized and coated with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). The LW FPC- was selected as the fluorescent layer. Different films containing Au NPs and LW FPC- were fabricated and the distance between the Au NPs and LW FPC- was adjusted by changing the numbers of layers with two oppositely charged polymers (PC+ and PC-). Both Au NPs/4 layers PCs/LWFPC- and Au NPs/8 layers PCs/LWFPC- surfaces indicated that E. coli can be detected by LW FPC-.The selectivity of LbL films was added by introducing an antibody on the surface of the film to provide specific recognition of a chosen bacterial strain. This LbL surface achieved a rapid, effective and specific detection of E. coli bacteria. The polyanion and polycation with a 4-dibenzocyclooctynol (DIBO) functional group were assembled on the activated glass slides and an anti-E. coli antibody containing an azide group was efficiently introduced on the surface in a single step based on the azide-alkyne cycloadditions (SPAAC) reaction. The number of E. coli captured on the surface was shown to be dependent on the amount of antibody on the surface. The anti-E. coli antibody surface showed significant selectivity for E. coli, compared with B. subtilis. An alternative approach is to detect bacterial growth on thin LbL film by introducing pH sensitive fluorophore (fluorescein). The growth of bacteria is often associated with a decrease in pH of the growth medium due to a release of acidic metabolites. Different types of pH sensitive LbL film were prepared and tested for the detection of bacterial growth. Firstly, the synthesis of different functionalized polyanions (short and long chain of DIBO-PC- and red fluorescent polymer) was carried out. Three types of pH sensitive surfaces containing fluorescein (DIBO-SWPC-/fluorescein, DIBO-LW PC-/fluorescein and ratiometric RFPC-/fluorescein surfaces) were prepared based on the combination of LbL assembly and copper-free click chemistry. Finally, three pH sensitive surfaces were studied for bacteria growth detection. All the surfaces were shown to be biocompatible, the number of E. coli increased after several hours of incubation on each surface, as detected by brightfield microscopy imaging. The application for the fluorophore-dependent detection of bacterial growth remains to be developed

Full textTwenty five percent of french suffer from activated sludge bulking. It induces an excessive growth of filamentous bacteria and can cause severe damages to the environment. In a first part, the influence of oxygen deficiencies on filamentous bacteria proliferation has been studied in wastewater treatment pilots plants. A sole period of oxygen deficiency only induces weak growth of filaments such as S. Natans, Thiothrix sp, Eikelboom type 021N or N. Limicola-like microorganisms. Accumulate stress periods seems to have a great impact on the filamentous bacteria proliferation. Repetition of identical stresses causes an amplification of filamentous bacteria response. The latter depends on stresses intensity, stresses application frequency and stresses number. Accumulate oxygen deficiencies led to the bulking of S. Natans and important developments of Thiothrix sp and Eikelboom type 021N. The second part deals with morphological transition of the bacterium Sphaerotilus. .

Full textThe kinetics of migration of the excitation in the antenna of photosynthetic membranes and the primary charge separations following its trapping by the reaction centers have been studied at room temperature in the subnanosecond range using two experimental techniques. Fluorescence yield measurements utilizing picosecond laser pulse pairs have been used to probe the exciton annihilation processes in the antenna and the induction phenomena connected with the changes in the redox state of the reaction centers. The primary charge separations in the reaction centers were monitored by the transmembrane potential (photovoltage) measured with a technique associating the light gradient effect and a 30 ps time resolution. Estimations of the kinetics of the primary charges separations in photosystems I and II of intact chloroplasts are given and a working model, deduced from the fluorescence and photovoltage measurements, is proposed concerning the migration, annihilation and trapping processes in photosystem II. The kinetics of the excitation migration in the antenna of whole cells of Rps. Viridis and Rps. Sphaeroides and the kinetics of the primary charge stabilization step on the first quinone acceptor were determined from photovoltages measurements

Full textBy providing the energy for the cellular metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is an essential process for most living organisms. In order to thrive, the efficiency of membrane respiratory chains which constitute the OXPHOS must be optimized. Thus it is important to address mechanisms by which the efficiency of the OXPHOS is regulated in response to varying metabolic needs.The question addressed during this PhD is the following: does it exist a specific organization of the OXPHOS components in prokaryotic membranes and does it contribute to the regulation of the OXPHOS process?I have investigated the spatio-temporal organization of a respiratory complex, the nitrate reductase NarGHI of the E. coli bacterium. After creating the tools needed to visualize submicrometrically this complex in the unique cell, I have shown the existence of a polar microcompartimentation during anaerobic respiration using fluorescence microscopy. I have demonstrated the dynamic subcellular organization of NarGHI in response to metabolic conditions. Anaerobiosis and a sufficient ∆pH are cues required to promote such cellular organization. Finally, I have demonstrated that polar microcompartimentation of the complex increases the electron flux and the efficiency of the associated respiratory chains.Overall, these results provide a novel view on OXPHOS in bacterial cells by demonstrating that spatio-temporal organization of a respiratory complex tunes the overall efficiency of the process in response to environmental cues

Full textMicrobial fuel cells (MFCs), as a potentially sustainable biotechnology, can directly convert organic matter into electricity by using bacterial biofilms as biocatalysts. In a political context where European legislation favors and imposes the revalorization of organic waste from industries, MFC seems an inexpensive and promising technology to meet this need. The aim of this thesis is to improve knowledge of the formation of electroactive biofilms on the anodic surface, and to understand the mechanisms involved in the competition between electroactive bacteria (EAB) and other bacteria. Special attention will be paid to shear force as a tool to control the formation of anodic biofilms. First, bacterial successions have been studied under stationary conditions and in standard laboratory configurations. The results show that the formation of the biofilm is divided in two stages. At first, non-specific EAB grow in all MFCs, producing or not electricity. Then, specific EAB become predominant only in MFCs producing electricity and is associated to an exponential increase of electricity. From these results, we hypothesize that inhibition of the first step should decrease the competition between nonspecific and specific EAB. We propose to use the shear stress to select specific EAB during the adhesion. First, MFCs with a shear stress flow chamber configuration were designed, constructed and set up. The results show that the proportion of specific EAB such as Geobacter was higher, up to 30.14% as opposed to a lower shear stress (less than 1%). Then, the effect of shear stress on microbial selection during biofilm growth was studied. These results confirm the previous conclusions: specific EAB are selected when shear stress is higher. This work demonstrates the major role of shear stress in biofilm formation and could be a way to control the selection of EAB. This factor should be taken into account in the architecture and implementation of the reactors

Full textThe first part of this work is done in order to prepare products that play a very important role in cellular imaging lipopolisaccharides on the surface of bacterial cells, while using reliable methods such as '' click chemistry ''. Initially, we synthesized the first generation of tools based fluorescent rhodamine B and fluorescein -modified nitrile oxide function. In a second step we sought the best possible applications of click chemistry 3+2 copper free, between the nitrile oxide function and the additional saccharide unit with a vinyl function. Finally, we applied successfully, the click method with copper on several types of bacteria on their cell membrane lipopolysaccharides having a pattern Kdo functionalized azide group already synthesized within our team, and a probe carrying a fluorescent alkyne. A new generation of tools saccharide marking is being finalized in order to optimize the final terms, such as derivative functionalized Kdo this time by cyclic, bicyclic and aromatic derivatives holders of an alkene or alkyne function to perform final testing of in vitro labeling. Oxidative stress is linked to cell aging and many diseases: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's ... It is due to an imbalance between oxidant system/antioxidant in cells, and is characterized mainly by the presence of radical substance reactive oxygen. In order to identify the rate of reactive oxygen substances in cells, work in the second part of the thesis based on multi- step synthesis of a fluorescent molecule derived from coumarin. The target compound is oxygen peroxide, known as the name of hydrogen peroxide. Having a vinyl boronic ester, this molecule will be oxidized and rearranged aldehyde leading to intramolecular condensation with the adjacent amino group to form an indolique ring , thereby releasing fluorescence. The search for optimal conditions for the last step of the synthetic pathway is still being optimized. In the future, the optimal conditions for the last step of the synthesis of specific probe oxygen peroxide are sought. This molecule is remarkable importance as a probe of oxidative stress. By passing this step, we will have on hand a library of KDO functionalized to have satisfactory results in vivo

Full textIn the environment, most of bacteria live as organized communities, known as biofilms, enhancing their resistance to antibiotic treatments. Thus the formation of biofilms on organ and indwelling medical devices is considered to cause the majority of bacterial infections in the human body. Thus, to enhance antibiotics efficacy, there is a high need to find treatments to prevent or disrupt biofilm formation. It has been proposed that P. stuartii porins, Omp-Pst1 and Omp-Pst2, can self-associate through a steric zipper, being responsible for the initial development of biofilms. Thus, our objective is to synthesize porin’s self-matching interactions (PSMI) inhibitors to counterfeit this intercellular contact. We developed peptidomimetic molecules based on the LGNYR sequence, that have shown to be active in both porins. Then we used click chemistry to synthesize on solid phase analogues of this sequence, as the solid phase Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) to introduce a triazole moiety into the peptide chain at different positions. We thus developed a fast and efficient method to perform this reaction using a stable copper(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst. Similarly, new conditions were developed on solid phase to synthesize regioselectively peptides containing a 3,4- or 3,5-disubstituted isoxazole moiety, through the reaction between an alkyne and a nitrile oxide. These 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions allowed us to developed a first library of peptidotriazoles and peptidoisoxazoles. We also obtained fluorescent probes based on the inhibitors showing higher affinity for the target as tools to study biofilm formation

É de fundamental importância investigar a colonização de periodontopatógenos e seu papel na etiologia da doença periodontal de crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down, os quais apresentam alta prevalência da doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar qualitativa e quantitativamente a presença na saliva de bactérias periodontopatogênicas em crianças e adolescentes com e sem síndrome de Down. Este estudo transversal incluiu uma amostra de trinta crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down (grupo SD), com idade entre 3-12 anos, e trinta controles sem a síndrome (grupo ND), com idades entre 4-12 anos. Exame clínico foi realizado para determinar o índice de sangramento à sondagem e o índice de placa em dentes índice. Amostras de saliva não estimuladas foram coletadas de todos os participantes. A técnica de hibridização in situ fluorescente (FISH) identificou a presença e as densidades de oito bactérias periodontopatogênicas na saliva. O teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para analisar as variáveis categóricas e o teste U de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para as variáveis numéricas. Adotou-se um nível de significância de 5%. Os registros clínicos mostraram frequência mais alta de crianças e adolescentes com sangramento à sondagem no grupo SD (P = 0,037); nenhuma diferença foi encontrada em relação ao índice de placa entre os grupos (P = 0,516). Crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down apresentaram densidades maiores de Campylobacter rectus (P = 0,013), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P = 0,025), Treponema denticola (P = 0,026), Fusobacterium nucleatum (P = 0,013), Prevotella intermedia (P = 0,001) e Prevotella nigrescens (P = 0,008). Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada nas densidades de Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (P = 0,057) e Tanerella forsythia (P = 0,584). No grupo SD, as densidades das bactérias do complexo laranja foram significativamente maiores nas faixas etárias de 3 a 7 anos para F. nucleatum, P. intermedia e P. nigrescens, e de 8 a 12 anos para C. rectus. Os resultados confirmam que crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down apresentam maior suscetibilidade à doença periodontal e maior prevalência e densidade de patógenos periodontais importantes para o estabelecimento e agravamento da doença periodontal.
It is of particular importance to investigate the colonization of periodontal pathogens and their role in the etiology of periodontal disease in children and adolescents with Down syndrome, who have a high prevalence of periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to assess qualitative and quantitatively the presence of periodontopathogenic bacteria in saliva in a group of Down and non-Down syndrome children and adolescents. This cross-sectional study included a sample of 30 Down syndrome children and adolescents (group DS), aged 3-12 years, and 30 non-Down syndrome children and adolescents (group ND) aged 4-12 years. Dental examinations were performed to determine the bleeding on probing index and plaque index in index teeth. Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from all participants. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique identified the presence and density of eight periodontopathogenic bacteria in saliva. The chisquare test was used to analyze the categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for the continuous variables. The significance level was set at 5%. Clinical records showed a higher frequency of children and adolescents with bleeding on probing in DS group (P = 0.037); no significant difference was found in relation to plaque index between the groups (P = 0.516). Down syndrome children showed higher salivary density of Campylobacter rectus (P = 0.013), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P = 0.025), Treponema denticola (P = 0.026), Fusobacterium nucleatum (P = 0.013), Prevotella intermedia (P = 0.001) and Prevotella nigrescens (P = 0.008). No significant difference was found in salivary density of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (P = 0.057) and Tanerella forsythia (P = 0.584). In DS group, the densities of bacteria of orange complex were higher in the age groups 3-7 years for F. nucleatum, P. intermedia and P. nigrescens, as well as in age groups 8-12 years for C. rectus. The results confirm that Down syndrome children and adolescents have an increased susceptibility to periodontal disease and higher prevalence and density of important periodontal pathogens for the onset and worsening of the periodontal disease.

Full textIn order to verify the occurrence of phytopathogenic bacteria in rice plants, fluorescent bacteria (Bf1, Bf2, Bf3) were isolated from seeds in semiselective King'B medium. Isolates that induced tobacco hypersensitivity reaction were inoculated in rice. In rice leaves and stems, the isolates caused elongated gray blotches and necrosis lesions sourrounded by an brownish-black border. The effect of this bacterial isolates in plants of seven rice cultivars was tested through the stems and leaves inoculation, 21 days after the emergence, in greenhouse. Regardless of cultivar or inoculation site, all isolates induced lesions formation. Based on lesion lenght and percentage of plants with symptoms, the isolate Bfl was considered the most virulent. No differences of reaction were found among cultivars. In the field, eight rice cuI ti vars were sowed in October and December, 1992. Stem inoculation with bacterial suspension (isolate Bf1) increased sterile spike lets and blotch on the glumes, decreased seed viability, lOOO-seed weight and number of whole grains. Plants of the cultivars BR-IRGA 414 and El Paso 144 showed higher blotching grade of glumes than plants of the cultivars El Paso 48 and Bluebelle, when harvested from plots sowed in October.

Full textBacterial growth requires coordination between the main cell cycle processes that are DNA replication and segregation, elongation and cell division. During their life, bacteria are exposed to different endogenous or exogenous stresses (antibiotics, pH, nutrients starvation…) that can disturb the bacteria cell cycle. Those hostile life conditions trigger a cellular response aiming at improving survival in stress conditions. In E. coli, DNA breaks induce the SOS response that inhibits cell division while the bacteria continue to elongate, resulting in the formation of a filamentous cell. Filamentation has long been considered as a symptom of cell death, however recent studies suggest that this phenotype could instead be a transient morphology change improving the survival in hostile environments. The main objective of this thesis is to characterize the filamentation process, especially the restart of the filament division allowing to resume normal bacterial growth. To do so, I developped an approach combining live-cell microscopy in microfluidic chamber, flow cytometry, traditional microbiology technics and bacterial genetics. Association of those techniques constitutes a global approach allowing characterization of the stress effect on bacterial viability, morphology and DNA content, from the single cell to the population level. This experimental framework allowed to describe how filamentous cells quickly divide into viable cells, thus understanding how this transient and reversible cellular differentiation state constitute an efficient stress-survival strategy. Furthermore, the expertise I developed during this ph.D. project allowed me to be involved into the study of drug-resistance acquisition by gene transfer through bacterial DNA conjugation. Besides, I contributed to the characterization of the effects of biocides inducing envelop stress response and to the characterize the impact on E. coli of the production of Acinetobacter baumannii toxins predicted to be involved in contact-dependant growth inhibition

Por meio de um mecanismo denominado quorum sensing, diversas bactérias podem comunicar-se umas com as outras e coordenar a expressão gênica de acordo com a densidade populacional de forma semelhante aos organismos multicelulares. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a produção de moléculas sinalizadoras de quorum, conhecidas como homoserinas lactonas aciladas (AHLs), por bactérias psicrotróficas proteolíticas isoladas de leite cru refrigerado. Verificou-se também se a atividade proteolítica de Pseudomonas fluorescens 07A é dependente da densidade populacional. Foram avaliados 53 isolados psicrotróficos proteolíticos e sete estirpes ATCC quanto à produção de AHL em meio sólido utilizando as bactérias Agrobacterium tumefaciens A136, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 e Escherichia coli pSB403 como sistemas monitores ou sensores da presença de AHL. A produção de moléculas sinalizadoras foi freqüente entre os isolados psicrotróficos proteolíticos, constatando-se que, aproximadamente, 89 % das estirpes avaliadas foram produtoras de AHL. A extração de moléculas autoindutoras foi realizada em dois isolados, Serratia liquefaciens 016 e P. fluorescens 07A e, a presença de AHL nos extratos foi confirmada pelas estirpes monitoras C. violaceum CV026 e A. tumefaciens KYC55, respectivamente. A produção de AHL pelo isolado P. fluorescens 07A foi determinada em meio de cultivo à base de triptona suplementado com 0,25 % de cálcio (TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %) e em meio de constituição mínima (MMS), utilizando a estirpe monitora A. tumefaciens KYC55. Em meio TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 % a produção de AHL(s) alcançou o máximo ao final da fase logarítmica, quando a população de P. fluorescens 07A foi da ordem de 10 9 UFC mL -1 . Esta mesma população resultou em uma concentração de AHL(s) cerca de três vezes menor no MMS. Os resultados indicaram que a produção de AHL pode estar sob controle de autoindução. O crescimento e a atividade proteolítica do isolado 07A foram avaliados em seis meios de cultivo. Não foi observada diferença no crescimento do isolado nos diferentes meios, exceto no MMS, onde a estirpe cresceu de forma mais lenta. Entretanto, a produção de proteases foi maior em meio TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 % e em leite desnatado reconstituído (LDR 12 %). A detecção da atividade proteolítica só foi possível quando a cultura atingiu concentração populacional elevada em todos os meios avaliados, excetuando-se no meio MMS, quando a atividade proteolítica foi detectada em uma densidade populacional 10 vezes menor. Nos meios a base de triptona o pH aumentou para valores próximos a 8,5. Meios contendo íons Ca +2 apresentaram grande fluorescência ao final do período de incubação, indicando maior produção do sideróforo pioverdina. A adição de duas AHLs sintéticas não afetou o crescimento e a atividade proteolítica da estirpe P. fluorescens 07A em meio TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %. Quando comparada ao controle, a atividade proteolítica específica de P. fluorescens 07A não foi afetada significativamente, ao nível de 5% de probabilidade, pela suplementação do meio TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 % com extrato de AHL obtido da própria estirpe. O quorum sensing pode não estar regulando a atividade proteolítica em P. fluorescens 07A.
In a process called quorum sensing, a range of bacterial cells communicate and coordinate the expression of multiple phenotypes according to cell density. This work aimed to evaluate the production of signaling molecules known as N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) by psychrotrophic proteolytic bacteria isolated from raw milk as well as to verify if the proteolytic activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens 07A is under the control of quorum sensing. Fifty three psychrotrophic isolates and seven ATCC cultures were screened for the production of AHL in agar systems using the monitor strains Agrobacterium tumefaciens A136, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Escherichia coli pSB403. It was verified that almost 89 % of the psychrotrophic isolates tested elicited a positive response in at least one of the monitor strains of AHL. Signaling molecules were extracted from Serratia liquefaciens 016 and P. fluorescens 07A and the presence of AHL was detected with the monitor strains C. violaceum CV026 and A. tumefaciens KYC55, respectively. The production of AHL by the strain 07A was evaluated in a complex medium (TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %) and a defined medium (MMS). A. tumefaciens KYC55 was used to quantify AHL in this assay. In TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 % the AHL concentration reached a maximum value at the end of xvthe stationary phase, when the population of P. fluorescens 07A was 10 9 CFU mL -1 . When MMS medium was used, a similar cell population was achieved, but the AHL concentration was three fold lower. The results indicated that AHL production by P. fluorescens 07A could be regulated by autoinduction. The growth and proteolytic activity of the P. fluorescens 07A were monitored in six different media. It was not observed difference in the specific growth rate of the strain in the media tested, except in MMS, where it grew slower. On the other hand, the protease activity was higher in the complex medium (TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %) and reconstituted skimmed milk (LDR 12 %). Proteolytic activity was only detected when the culture reached high population densities (10 8 UFC mL -1 ) in all media evaluated. In MMS, proteolytic activity was detected at lower population densities (10 7 UFC ml -1 ). An increase in pH values was observed during cultivation in media containing tryptone. The emission of fluorescence was intensified in media containing calcium. The addition of two synthetic AHLs did not affect the growth rates and the proteolytic activity of the strain 07A in TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %. Furthermore, the addition of AHL extracted from the culture did not increase the specific proteolytic activity in TYEP + CaCl 2 0,25 %. These results indicate that quorum sensing may not have a direct role in the regulation of protease production in P. fluorescens 07A.

Full textType III secretion systems (T3SS) are used by some pathogenic bacteria to inject effectors through the eukaryotic cell membranes. These structures allow the colonization of the host cell and the paralysis of its defenses. Recently, T3SS genes were detected in Pseudomonas fluorescens saprophytic rhizobacterium surprisingly found in clinical environment. The T3SS genes diversity, phylogeny and virulence were investigated in P. Fluorescens found in hospital or plant environments. A cluster integrates isolates of blood infections, close to P. Putida and P. Mosselii species. These bacteria harbor T3SS genes belonging to Ysc family and share 99% of homology with T3SS of the opportunistic pathogen P. Aeruginosa. The second cluster includes other hospital isolates (respiratory tract or abscess) close to environmental P. Fluorescens. These bacteria are psychrotrophs and have a broader phylogenetic diversity. Their T3SS genes belong to the Hrp1 family, usually found in the plant pathogen P. Syringae. A study of external components of some P. Fluorescens models was performed by transmission electron microscopy. It reveals the first images of a P. Fluorescens T3SS. This T3SS is a Hrp1 pilus of around 1. 5 μm long whose production is induced by plant and fungal sugars. It could be involved in the induction of plant defense systems. Our study also reveals the presence of dendritic fibril bundles and vesicles, possibly involved in adhesion, nutrition and /or communication at the scale of the microbial colony

Full textThe endophytic microorganisms are those, cultivated or not, that inhabit the interior of the plant host without causing apparent damages or visible external structures. This interaction microorganisms-plant is specific to certain species of plants and/or bacteria. In the last few years studies of endophytic microorganisms have been carried out in several plant hosts, being these studies focused mainly to diversity and biotechnological potential, such as biological control of disease. The disease caused by the phytopathogenic fungi Ceratocystis fimbriata is considered emerging by the reforestation companies. Brazil is one of the largest world eucalyptus producers and the increasing of the eucalyptus production associated to clonal reproduction has allowed the increase in pathogen incidence. Studies that evaluate the interaction between pathogens and the microbial community associated to the host plant may allow understanding how disease symptoms come up. Endophytic microorganisms have been described as potential biological control of diseases and therefore, the aims of the present work were to i) study the interaction between C. fimbriata and the bacterial community associated to the Eucalyptus sp.; ii) evaluate the bacterial dissemination by seeds; iii) evaluate the colonization profile of Pantoea agglomerans in seedlings after seed inoculation. It was observed that the highest bacterial density on the rhizoplane (20.66 x 104 CFU.cm2 -1 of root) was observed in C. fimbriata uninfectedplants, while for endophytic community the highest density was observed in C. fimbriata infected plants (25.13 x 104 CFU.g-1 of root). The ARDRA analyses showed that the bacterial community of eucalyptus is composed by 8 and 13 ribotypes on rhizoplane and inside the roots (endophytic), respectively. The most frequent ribotypes were identified as Bacillus cereus. The DGGE analyses of diversity of endophytic and rhizoplane community showed that fungi infection shift the colonization of Eucalyptus associated bacteria. The bacterial community inside Eucalyptus spp. seeds ranged from 0.33 to 1.83 X 102 CFU.g-1, for E. camandulensis and E. urophylla, respectively. After seed germination the endophytic bacterial density in seedlings ranged from 0,27 X 102 to 0,87 X 102 CFU.g-1, for E. citriodora and the hybrid E. robusta x E. grandis, respectively. Although, endophytic bacteria have been isolated from seeds, for some plant species, bacteria were not isolated from seedlings. Also, some bacteria may be vertically transmitted from seed to seedlings, but some is specific for seeds. Seed inoculation of P. agglomerans resulted in seedlings colonized by these bacteria, suggesting that these bacteria could be seed transmitted. The results obtained in the present study show that the fungi C. fimbriata inside the Eucalyptus host can shift the endophytic and rhizoplane bacterial diversity. Also, these endophytic bacteria could be transmitted vertically by seeds, allowing that seeds previously inoculated with beneficial bacteria may result in protected plants before planting in the field.

Full textVarious visualizing techniques have previously enabled monitoring the fate of molecules of interest: their expression, localization, degradation and other activities in live or fixed cells. In this study, we have developed two fluorescent tools to study protein synthesis in live bacterial cell. The first one describes the application of Spinach system to ribosomes imaging. This is different from conventional methods (that use fluorescent proteins) in that 16S rRNA contains an inserted RNA aptamer that elicits fluorescence of a fluorogenic compound. A comparative study of the performance of different Spinach aptamers was performed here. A second system focuses on the uptake of a fluorescently labeled ligand of the ribosome, an antibiotic of the class of aminoglycosides. This novel conjugate, which kept its bactericidal activity allows for the first time imaging of aminoglycoside uptake on live bacteria. This opened the door to a single cell analysis of bacterial cell populations. We also obtained data about the localization of the antibiotic once inside the bacteria to an unprecedented resolution using super resolution microscopy. We hope that both of these methods will contribute to a better understanding of protein synthesis as well as provide a novel view on the way antibiotics penetrate into cells and perform their bactericidal action

Full textThis study demonstrates that Pseudomonas fluorescens MF37 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 specifically adhere onto the cytoplasmic membrane of rat neurons, adrenal paraneurons, and cerebral cortical glial cells when bacteria are grown at their optimal growth temperature. Adherence evoked morphological and biochemical changes consistent with the apoptosis of 10% of neurons and the co-induction of glial cells apoptosis and necrosis. The treatment of cortical neurons with LPS purified from these species induced a cytoplasmic content condensation but no nuclear agregation, suggesting that nuclear changes observed in presence of the living bacteria implicated other virulence factors than the LPS, and that LPS activity was essentially necrotic in this cell type. In glial cells, LPS evoked morphological and biochemical changes consistent with the disorganization of the cytoskeleton and the induction of apoptosis and necrosis. This work also demonstrated that P. Fluorescens MF37 growth temperature influences its adherence index, adherence phenotype and cytotoxicity in glial cells

Diferentes métodos de identificação têm mostrado que a comunidade microbiana em infecções endodônticas apresenta uma grande diversidade. No entanto, o conhecimento dos perfis microbianos de infecções endodônticas em dentes decíduos ainda é limitado. Portanto, este estudo teve como objetivos avaliar qualitativa e quantitativamente a presença de micro-organismos orais em amostras de canais radiculares dentes decíduos com necrose pulpar, e verificar a correlação entre eles e sua associação com sinais e sintomas clínicos e radiográficos. Um total de 31 crianças, de quatro a dez anos (idade média = 6,29 ± 1,27 anos), foi incluído neste estudo. A presença de 12 patógenos selecionados (Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Campylobacter rectus, Enterococcus faecalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Streptococcus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Tannerella forsythia e Treponema denticola) em 31 canais radiculares de 31 dentes com necrose pulpar foi avaliada por meio da técnica de hibridização in situ fluorescente (FISH), que identificou e quantificou os micro-organismos. Medidas descritivas foram usadas para descrever os dados relativos à densidade (cél/mL X 108) obtida para cada micro-organismo testado. O teste de correlação de Pearson avaliou a correlação entre os micro-organismos identificados e o teste t de Student verificou a associação entre os sinais e sintomas clínicos e radiográficos e os micro-organismos detectados. Adotou-se um nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Todos os patógenos testados foram identificados em todas as amostras. O somatório das densidades médias totais de todas as espécies bacterianas testadas e do gênero Streptococcus representou 80,57% da comunidade microbiana total. Os resultados do teste t de Student demonstraram que houve uma diferença significante (p = 0,02) entre no número médio das densidades observadas na espécie T. denticola no grupo com presença de dor e o grupo com ausência de dor. Também foram observadas diferenças significantes no número médio das densidades da espécie P. nigrescens e presença de edema e P. nigrescens e ausência de edema; assim como para o gênero Streptococcus e presença de edema e Streptococcus e ausência de edema (p = 0,04; p = 0,04, respectivamente). A técnica de FISH confirmou a característica polimicrobiana da infecção endodôntica em dentes decíduos com a presença de bactérias anaeróbicas obrigatórias e anaeróbicas facultativas e do gênero estreptococos.
Different microbial identification methods have shown that the microbial community in endodontic infections presents a great diversity. However, the knowledge of the microbial profiles of endodontic infections in primary teeth is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate, qualitative and quantitatively, the presence of oral microorganisms in samples from root canals primary teeth, to assess the correlations among them, and to determine their association with clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms. A total of 31 children, 4 to 10 years old (mean age = 6.29 ± 1.27 years old), was involved in this study. The presence of 12 selected pathogens (Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Campylobacter rectus, Enterococcus faecalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Streptococcus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola) in 31 infected root canals from 31 primary teeth with pulp necrosis was studied by using the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique which identified and quantified the microorganisms. Descriptive measures were used to present the data related to the density (cel/mL X 108) for each microorganism tested. The Pearson correlation test assessed the correlation among the microorganisms identified and the Student t test assessed the association between the clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms and the pathogens detected. The significance level was set at 5% (p < 0.05). All the tested pathogens were detected in all samples. The total sum of the mean densities of all the bacteria species and Streptococcus genus represented 80.57% of the entire microbial community. The results of Student's t test showed that there was a significant difference (p = 0.02) between the average number of densities observed in the species T. denticola in the group with pain and the group with no pain. Significant differences were also observed in the average number densities of the species P. nigrescens and presence of edema and P. nigrescens and no edema; and for Streptococcus and genus Streptococcus and edema and no edema (p = 0.04, p = 0.04, respectively). The FISH technique confirmed the polymicrobial characteristic of the endodontic infection in primary teeth with the presence of obligate and facultative anaerobic bacteria and of Streptococcus genus.

Crianças com síndrome de Down (SD) apresentam uma baixa prevalência de cárie dentária. Embora os Streptococcus mutans e Streptococcus sobrinus estejam associados com a cárie dentária em humanos, o seu papel na etiologia da doença em crianças com SD ainda não está completamente esclarecido. Desta forma, este estudo transversal teve como objetivo avaliar a experiência de cárie dentária e a contagem de S. mutans, S. sobrinus e estreptococos presentes na saliva de crianças com SD (grupo SD) em comparação com crianças não sindrômicas (grupo ND). A amostra incluiu trinta crianças com SD (com idade entre três e 12 anos) e trinta crianças (com idade entre quatro e 12 anos) sem a síndrome, pareadas por idade e sexo. O exame da condição dentária foi realizado para determinar o número de dentes decíduos cariados, com extração indicada e obturados (índice ceo-d) e o número de dentes permanentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (índice CPO-D), de acordo com os critérios de diagnóstico de cárie dentária da OMS. Amostras de saliva total não estimulada foram coletadas de todas as crianças. A técnica da hibridização in situ fluorescente (FISH) identificou a presença e o número de bactérias cariogênicas na saliva. O teste qui-quadrado foi usado para a análise das variáveis categóricas e o teste t de Student foi usado para a análise das variáveis contínuas. Adotou-se o nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). As crianças do grupo SD apresentaram significativamente uma experiência de cárie dentária mais baixa (p < 0,001) e mais baixa contagem de S. mutans na saliva (p < 0,001), em comparação com as crianças do grupo ND. Não se observou nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significativa na contagem de S. sobrinus e estreptococos presentes na saliva entre os dois grupos (p = 0,09 e p = 0,21, respectivamente). As contagens de S. mutans e S. sobrinus presentes na saliva, determinadas pela técnica de FISH, não se associaram a mais baixa experiência de cárie dentária observada entre as crianças com síndrome de Down.
Down syndrome (DS) children are known to present a low dental caries prevalence. Although Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are associated with dental caries in humans, their role in the etiology of dental caries in DS children is not entirely clear. Therefore this cross-sectional study aimed to assess the dental caries experience as well as the salivary counts of S. mutans, S. sobrinus and streptococci in DS children (group SD) in comparison with non-Down syndrome children (group ND). The sample included 30 DS children (aged 3-12 years) and 30 age and sex-matched ND children (aged 4-12 years). Dental examinations were performed to determine the numbers of decayed, missing and filled teeth in primary (dmf-t index) and permanent (DMF-T index) dentition according to the WHO dental caries diagnostic criteria. Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from all children. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique identified the presence and numbers of the cariogenic bacteria in saliva. The chi-square test was used to analyze the categorical variables and the Student’s t-test was used for the continuous variables. The significance level was set at 5% (p < 0.05). Children of DS group showed significantly lower dental caries experience (p < 0.001) and salivary counts of S. mutans (p < 0.001) compared to children of ND group. No significant difference was found in the salivary counts of S. sobrinus and streptococci between the two groups (p = 0.09 and p = 0.21, respectively). The salivary counts of S. mutans and S. sobrinus determined by the FISH technique were not associated with the lower caries experience observed in Down syndrome children.

Full textThe mycorrhiza helper bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens BBc6R8 promotes mycorrhizal establishment between Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. Bicolor strain S238N. Our work was focused on the bacterium-fungus interactions. The bacterium-fungus interactions seems to be early, at the inoculation time. The bacterium promotes fungal vigour and/or growth in the soil when the fungus is under non-favourable conditions of growth. Besides, it changes the hyphae architecture in in vitro conditions. In return, the fungus improves the survival and/or growth of the bacterium in the soil. The bacterium shows chemotaxis towards trehalose, a compound accumulated in the L. Bicolor S238N hyphae, which is also metabolized by the bacterium. The bacterium do not seem to be localised in the vicinity of the fungus in the soil at later time

Full textThe bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is the macromolecular complex which allows bacteria to swim in liquid media. Located at the base of the flagellum, anchored in the cell membrane, this remarkably small (~45nm) yet powerful rotary motor rotates each flagellum of the cell switching between counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) direction. The motor rotation is generated at the interface between the two key components of the motor: the stator protein complexes (each composed of 4 MotA and 2 MotB proteins) and the C- ring protein complex at the base of the rotor. The stator complexes are structurally and functionally discernible modules of the motor, and their dynamical association and dissociation around the rotor controls the generation of torque.The first project of this study aims to investigate how the FP tag on the stator protein modifies the torque generation and switching of the motor. This is particularly important because the fluorescent protein tag lies at the interface between stator and rotor, where torque and switching are produced. Three different FPs (eGFP, YPet, Dendra2) were fused to MotB. Interestingly, despite the high similarity of their structures, our analysis revealed that the three fusion stators generate different torque. Furthermore, in the presence of fusion stators, the motor showed significantly impaired switching abilities. When switching direction of the rotation, the absolute value of the speed of WT motors does not change, whereas this symmetry of speed upon switching is not observed in the fusion stator motors, and switching can be accompanied with a significant (~30%) decrease in absolute speed. Both the impaired torque generation and the switching ability were improved by introducing a rigid linker between the stator and the FP tag. Taken together, this study provides a further insight into the dynamics of the stator and rotor interaction at its interface.When the cells carrying the fluorescently labeled stators were observed in a custom made TIRF-fluorescence microscope with single molecule capability, the fluorescence signals were detected as concentrated clusters in the membrane as expected for these membrane proteins around the motors, together with a population of stators diffusing in the membrane. Fluorescent clusters were visible at the center of rotating cells tethered to the glass slide by a single flagellum, confirming that the fluorescent tags can be visualized in functioning motors.In a second project developed in Bertus Beaumont lab at TU Delft, taking BFM as an experimental evolutionary model system, its modularity and evolvability have been explored to learn the molecular details of the evolution of molecular machines. The stators of E.coli have been exchanged by a set of 21 homologue foreign stators. The experiments revealed that the stator proteins can be exchanged between distant bacteria species, and some of the non-compatible stators can be positively modified by evolution to become functional. Those evolved strains accumulated beneficial mutations in their foreign motA and motB genes, especially on their functional domains. Identical mutations in different stators were common, indicating that evolution is repeatable. The functional investigation at the single motor level revealed that those beneficial mutations improved the torque generation and/or the switching ability of the motor. The detailed genotype and phenotype investigations of the evolutionary modified BFM may bring an insight into how molecular machines such as BFM have evolved as well as the functional effects of the beneficial mutations that facilitate functional integration

Full textMicroorganisms predominantly live in communities, such as biofilms, in which extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) form the matrix and stabilize the three-dimensional structure. Hydrophobic microdomains allow the cohesiveness of these hydrophilic, polyanionic systems. The localization of these hydrophobic sites is very important to understand the variability and the reactivity of the EPS. The objective of our work was to engineer new fluorescent probes with amphiphilic or hydrophilic properties able to label the EPS. For that purpose, we have synthesized a series of fluorescent CdSe-core nanocrystals, also called Quantum Dots (QDs), modified at their periphery with hydrophilic (3-mercaptopropionic acid) or amphiphilic ligands (dihydrolipoic acid coupled to hydrophobic aminoacids like Leucine or Phenylalanine). Using confocal fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), we demonstrated that the functionalized QDs strongly associated with the EPS of S. oneidensis biofilms and allow imaging of these microbial communities. The location of these probes within the EPS was dependent on the surface ligand structure and on its density at the periphery of QDs. A homogeneous dispersion of hydrophilic QDs in the whole biofilm was observed, while amphiphilic QDs clusterized in the small hydrophobic domains. These new fluorescent probes will be of great use to understand the development and the reorganization of complex biological matrix like biofilms

Full textSalmonella Enteritidis is a common foodborne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis and systemic infections in humans. The characterization of this bacterium is essential for epidemiological studies. In this context, two molecular methods, MLST and FAFLP, were tested for characterization of 32 S. Enteritidis isolates obtained from South of Brazil, as well as five isolates obtained from other geographical areas. Four isolates of different serovars of Salmonella (S. Panama, S. Senftenberg, S. Typhimurium and Salmonella [4,5:-:1,2]) were included as outgroup. These two techniques were already used to analyze different Salmonella serovars, but this study is the first to use them to discriminate the same S. Enteritidis isolates. The MLST scheme was performed with two housekeeping genes (hemD and mdh) combined with two virulence genes (ssaQ and slyA) to improve the discriminatory power of method. Both methods presented high discriminatory indexes calculated by Simpson’s index of diversity, 0. 99 and 0. 88 for FAFLP and MLST, respectively. These methods were efficient to differentiate isolates of distinct Salmonella serovars, but did not distinguish isolates probable epidemiologically non-related, and also did not group isolates of same phage type. These results suggested that these two techniques can be used as a tool for the epidemiological molecular characterization of S. Enteritidis isolates.
A Salmonella Enteritidis é uma das principais bactérias causadoras de gastrenterite, também podendo ser responsável por doenças sistêmicas. A adequada caracterização deste microrganismo é essencial nos estudos epidemiológicos. Neste contexto, este estudo avaliou a utilização de dois métodos moleculares, Tipificação por Sequenciamento de Múltiplos loci (MLST) e Análise de Fragmentos Polimórficos Amplificados e Fluorescentes (FAFLP), para a diferenciação de 32 isolados de S. Enteritidis oriundos de diferentes fontes do sul do Brasil, bem como de cinco isolados de S. Enteritidis provenientes de outras áreas geográficas. Também foram incluídos neste estudo quatro isolados pertencentes a outros sorovares (S. Panama, S. Senftenberg, S. Typhimurium e Salmonella [4,5:-:1,2]. As duas técnicas escolhidas para este trabalho já foram empregadas concomitantemente para analisar diferentes sorotipos de Salmonella, mas este estudo é o primeiro a utilizá-las para a diferenciação de um mesmo grupo de isolados de S. Enteritidis. O esquema desenvolvido para o MLST incluiu a amplificação de fragmentos de dois genes constitutivos (hemD e mdh) combinado com dois genes de virulência (ssaQ e slyA), aumentando, assim, a capacidade discriminatória do método. Ambas as técnicas apresentaram altos índices de poder discriminatório, calculados pelo índice de diversidade de Simpson, 0,99 e 0,88 para FAFLP e MLST, respectivamente. Além disso, os métodos avaliados também mostraram-se eficientes na discriminação de isolados de diferentes sorovares de Salmonella. Entretanto, a FAFLP e a MLST não foram capazes de diferenciar isolados provavelmente não relacionados epidemiologicamente, bem como não agruparam isolados pertencentes a um mesmo fagotipo. Desta forma, os resultados obtidos sugerem que ambas as técnicas podem ser ferramentas úteis para a análise epidemiológica molecular de isolados de Salmonella, inclusive para um sorovar com grande homogeneidade genética como a S. Enteritidis.

Full textEctomycorrhizal fungi have a beneficial impact on tree nutrition and growth by forming symbiotic associations with roots. In their natural environment, they interact physically and metabolically with soil bacterial communities that are beneficial, neutral or antagonistic to the fungus. Since the 80ies, a specific interest has been given to bacterial strains that improve the formation of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, so-called mycorrhiza helper bacteria. The strain Pseudomonas fluorescens BBc6R8 is particularly efficient to enhance the establishment of Douglas fir - Laccaria bicolor S238N mycorrhizal symbiosis, by improving the survival and the growth of the pre-symbiotic mycelium in soil. We have used both a global and a targeted approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms of this helper effect. In a first step, we have analysed, using an in vitro assay, the morphological and the transcriptomic responses of the ectomycorrhizal fungus to the presence of the helper bacteria at different time of the interaction. Then we have assessed the question of the specificity of the fungal response by studying the effect of non-helper bacterial strains on the fungal behaviour. Finally, we have focused on the role played by several key molecules in the interaction: thiamine, trehalose and the type III secretion system. We suggest that the bacterial strain would exert its helper effect through a combination of mechanisms: an improvement of the nutritional status of the fungus and a preparation of both the plant and the ectomycorrhizal fungus to the root infection

Full textMonitoring terrestrial ecosystems requires a better understanding of the interactions between microorganisms, minerals and metals in the environment. To assess in vivo availability of metals such as iron in bacteria-mineral system, an approach based on whole-cell fluorescent biosensors and non-invasive spectroscopy was explored. This work led to the construction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa of a set of gene fusions coupling iron-regulated promoters to multicolour fluorescent reporters. The recombinant strains were used as sensors of structural iron availability in nontronites NAu-1 and NAu-2. The response of these biosensors was studied by coupling synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) with canonical polyadic Candecomp/Parafac (CP) decomposition. On the basis of experimental designs favouring response diversity, the coupled SFS-CP method guarantees a joint estimate of gene expression from multiple promoters, even in highly fluorescent media. This novel method can solve the issue of spectral bleed-through of fluorescent proteins and provides a means to integrate multiple signals from combinations of whole-cell fluorescent bioreporters. In addition, we could show using SFS-CP that P. aeruginosa indirectly mobilize Fe(III) from nontronites primarily through the production of pyoverdine siderophore. The structural Fe(III) present on the edges of NAu-2 rather than NAu-1 particles appears to be more bioaccessible, suggesting that the distribution of Fe, in the tetrahedron and/or in the octahedron sites, governs the solubilization process

A Murcha Bacteriana (Ralstonia solanacearum) é uma das mais importantes doenças do tomateiro em regiões tropicais. Seu controle é difícil, a principal medida é evitar a entrada da bactéria no local de plantio, principalmente em cultivo protegido. O objetivo deste trabalho foi encontrar isolados de Pseudomonas fluorescentes provenientes da rizosfera de solanáceas do cerrado, para uso no controle biológico de R. solanacearum. Foram realizadas coletas de solo da rizosfera de diversas plantas da família Solanaceae, de onde foram obtidos 40 isolados de Pseudomonas spp. Esses isolados foram submetidos a teste in vitro pela metodologia de prospecção de antibiose pelo teste de dupla camada, onde verificou se que 33 isolados conseguiram inibir o crescimento de R. solanacearum. Os isolados que induziram os maiores diâmetros do halo de inibição, 12 (F 1.5, PEDRA, F 1.2, F 4.1, JOMG 1.1, JBR, T3, RJ 1.1, JOBA, PSD 9, JAL, JCP 8.1) e foram selecionados para os ensaios em casa de vegetação. Os ensaios em casa de vegetação foram divididos em dois, um com uma estirpe de R. solanacearum (UnB 1173), outro com a mistura de três estirpes do patógeno ( UnB, 1033, 1103 e 1173). Cinco isolados (RJ 1.1, F 4.1, JCP 1.1, PEDRA e JOBA) controlaram a doença no ensaio com uma estirpe do patógeno. Oito isolados (RJ 1.1, F 1.2, F 1.5, F 4.1, JCP 8.1, PSD 9, JOBA e JAL) controlaram a doença com a mistura de três estirpes do patógeno. Os isolados RJ 1.1, F 4.1, JAL, JOBA conseguiram controlar a doença nos dois ensaios, demonstrando assim potencial para uso no controle biológico da murcha bacteriana.
The bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) is one of the most important tomato diseases in tropical regions. His control is difficult, the key measure is to prevent bacteria from entering the local planting, especially in protected cultivation. The objective of this study was to find fluorescent Pseudomonas isolated from the rhizosphere of the cerrado nightshade, for use in the biological control of R. solanacearum. Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of various plants of the Solanaceae family, from which they were obtained 40 isolates of Pseudomonas spp. These isolates were subjected to in vitro test methodology for prospecting antibiosis the double layer pattern, which found that 33 isolates were able to inhibit the growth of R. solanacearum. Isolates that induced the larger diameters of inhibition zone, 12 (F 1.5, STONE, F 1.2, F 4.1, JOMG 1.1, JBR, T3, RJ 1.1 JOBA, PSD 9, JAL, JCP 8.1) and were selected for the trials in the greenhouse. The tests in the greenhouse were divided into two, one with a strain of R. solanacearum (UNB 1173), another with a mixture of three strains of the pathogen (UNB, 1033, 1103 and 1173). Five isolates (RJ 1.1, F 4.1, JCP 1.1, PEDRA and JOBA) controlled the disease in the test with a strain of the pathogen. Eight isolates (RJ 1.1, F 1.2, F 1.5, F 4.1, JCP 8.1, PSD 9, JOBA and JAL) controlled the disease with the mixture of three strains of the pathogen. Isolated RJ 1.1, F 4.1, JAL, JOBA managed to control the disease in two trials, demonstrating potential for use in biological control of bacterial wilt.

Full textThe concept of Microbial endocrinology, which arose in the early 90’s, brings to light the capacity of bacteria to be sensitive to eukaryotic signaling molecules. We investigated the impact of two natriuretic peptides, BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptide) and CNP (C-type Natriuretic Peptide), on bacterial physiology in a host/pathogen relationship context. The bacterial model retained is Pseudomonas, a bacterial genus displaying several adaptation mechanisms relayed by a lot of membrane sensor. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of natriuretic peptides on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and Pseudomonas fluorescens MF37 physiology. We found that the treatment of P. Aeruginosa PAO1 and P. Fluorescens MF37 by BNP or CNP increased the pro-cytotoxic potential of bacteria against glial cells culture. Given that cAMP and cGMP stable analogues are able to mimic the pro-cytotoxic effects of natriuretic peptides and that CNP significantly increase the intra-bacterial concentration of cAMP in PAO1 and cGMP in MF37, we suggest that natriuretic peptides effects on bacteria occurs a membrane cyclase. CAMP and cGMP increase the cytotoxic activity carried by LPS. Natriuretic peptides increase the production of acyl-HSL and inhibit those of PQS and pyocyanin suggesting that acyl-HSL are involved in pro-virulent effects of these peptides through the Vfr transcriptional regulator. This study provides the existence of a bacterial sensor, coupled to a membrane cyclase, sensitive to natriuretic peptides and able to modulate bacterial virulence through Quorum Sensing. All of these works allow us to propose a model of natriuretic peptides action mechanism on Pseudomonas physiology

Full textBacteria are microorganisms capable of growing independently in liquid media. However, as soon as they encounter a surface, either biotic or abiotic, bacteria favour a "community living" to protect themselves from external aggressions and survive in hostile environments. These bacterial communities, named biofilms, are present in all natural environments, including humans where they can cause severe infections when hosting pathogenic germs. It is now accepted that such biological edifices persist under antibiotics action. In addition to antibiotic 'resistance', which is associated with genetic mutations of bacteria, 'tolerance' is related with the specific structure and physiology of bacteria organized in biofilms. In this context, we took benefit from innovative high-resolution imaging techniques to better understand the mechanisms underlying antibiotics (vancomycin, daptomycin, rifampicin) (in)efficacy within S. aureus biofilms. In addition, we developed a model for prosthetic vascular graft infections in mice that allowed the visualization by fluorescence imaging of biofilms formed in vivo and subjected to the action of antibiotics. Considering the very limited antibiotics efficacy observed, we then focused on a better understanding of S. aureus bacterial biofilms tolerance towards antibiotics. To this purpose, our work was focused on the role of both the extracellular matrix and the physiology of bacteria included in biofilms. The crucial role of membrane fluidity was then demonstrated. This work allowed us to identify paths for the improvement of antibiotic therapy and to develop alternatives to this type of treatment

Full textResumo: O controle biológico é um dos métodos do manejo integrado de doenças de plantas, sendo uma das únicas alternativas viáveis para minimizar o impacto da queima-das-folhas e morte súbita das pastagens do gênero Urochloa (anteriormente Brachiaria). A queima-das-folhas e morte de pastagens é causada pelo fungo basidiomiceto Rhizoctonia solani grupo de anastomose AG-1 IA. Em nosso estudo determinamos se isolados de espécies de Pseudomonas fluorescentes obtidos de solos supressivos do bioma Amazônico possuem potencial como agentes de biocontrole de R. solani AG-1 IA. Especificamente objetivamos: i. Efetuar o screening de isolados de Pseudomonas quanto ao potencial de biocontrole in vitro; ii. Realizar a identificação molecular dos isolados de Pseudomonas fluorescentes selecionados como potenciais agentes de biocontrole e iii. Determinar se as bactérias selecionadas in vitro mantém, in vivo, o potencial de biocontrole da queima-das-folhas e morte da braquiária. Três isolados foram selecionados como potenciais agentes biocontroladores nos testes de antagonismo in vitro (Amana, Poti e Yara), pois diminuíram significativamente tanto o crescimento micelial quanto a germinação de escleródios do patógeno. Com base em análises filogenéticas, os isolados Amana e Yara foram agrupados ao clado de Pseudomonas putida enquanto o isolado Poti foi agrupado em clado distinto de todos os demais, e possivelmente se constitui numa nova espécie.

Abstract: Biological control is one of the methods of the integrated management of plant diseases, which is one of the only viable alternative to minimizes foliar blight impact and sudden death of pastures from genus Urochloa (previously known as Brachiaria). Foliar blight and death of pastures are caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA. In our study, it was determined whether isolates from florescent Pseudomonas obtained from suppressive soils on the Amazon biome had potential as biocontrol agents of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA. Specifically, we aim to: i. Carry out a screening of isolates from Pseudomonas to evaluate their potential as in vitro biocontroler; ii. Perform molecular identification of selected fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates as potential biocontrol agents; and iii. Determine whether in vitro selected bacterial strains maintain the biocontrol ability in vivo of foliar blight and sudden death of braquiária. Three isolates were selected as potential biocontoller agents in vitro antagonism tests (Amana, Poti e Yara), which reduced significantly mycelial growth and sclerotia germination of pathogen. Based on phylogenetic analyzes, Amana and Yara isolates were grouped to the clade belonging to Pseudomonas putida and Poti isolated was grouped in a distinct clade, and should to constitute a new species. For in vivo tests, seed inoculation did not resulted in R. solani AG-1 IA control. On the other hand, in foliar application of biocontrol agent, Amana isolated was the m...

Full textThe aim of this project is to identify functional diversity within bacteria from the same patient. Bacteria secrete a lot of enzymes to digest their environment and these extracellular enzymatic activities are the markers of bacterial species, their phenotype, viability and state of development. Fluorescence is a powerful and sensitive method to track enzyme activity. Our first goal is to synthesize enzymatic fluorogenic probes whose fluorescence is controlled by the deprotonation of a phenol function. For continuous follow up of bacteria, one major concern is the potential toxicity of probe. To address this problem probes are linked to a hydrophilic polymer in order to increase their solubility and reduce toxicity for bacteria, as they are cell impermeant. Example of the β-galactosidase enzyme, a well-established marker of Escherichia coli, will be presented

A adesão de Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 foi avaliada pela microscopia de epifluorescência (EPF) e contagem padrão em placas (CPP) em superfícies usadas no processamento de alimentos nos tempos de contato 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 e 10 h. O aumento da adesão entre as superfícies, em razão do tempo, não foi acompanhado de forma similar pelas técnicas avaliadas. Por exemplo, no tempo quatro horas, as superfícies que apresentaram maiores logaritmos de UFC.cm-2 e que não apresentaram diferença significativa na adesão pelo teste de Scott-Knott (P > 0,05) foram poliuretano rugoso dupla face, silicone revestido com tecido, poli (cloreto de vinila) revestimento grosso com tecido, granito e mármore pela técnica EPF. Já pela técnica CPP, no mesmo tempo de contato, os maiores logaritmos de UFC.cm-2 foram para superfícies de silicone revestido com tecido, poliuretano rugoso dupla face, granito e poliuretano revestido com tecido. As superfícies de mármore, granito, poli (cloreto de vinila) revestimento grosso com tecido, poliuretano rugoso dupla face e silicone revestido com tecido diferiram das demais no grau de adesão, expresso em UFC.cm-2 (P < 0,05) nos tempos 4, 6, 8 e 10 horas, quando avaliadas pela técnica da epifluorescência, e de 2 e 10 horas, quando avaliadas pela contagem padrão em placas. Numa outra forma de avaliação, constatou-se também a diferença entre as 12 técnicas com relação ao agrupamento das superfícies de acordo com a similaridade de adesão. Assim, as superfícies que apresentaram maior percentagem de similaridade e maior média geral com relação à adesão pela técnica EPF foram mármore, granito e poliuretano rugoso dupla face. No caso da CPP, este mesmo fato foi constatado com as superfícies de poliuretano rugoso dupla face, silicone revestido com tecido e granito. As superfícies apresentaram características de microtopografias muito diferentes quando observadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, o que pode justificar as diferenças entre os graus de adesão observados. As técnicas possuem comportamentos diferentes para cada tempo de contato. Constatou-se que a CPP, além de fornecer resultados menores do que a EPF, também permite a detecção de valores de adesão mais baixos, sendo considerada uma técnica mais sensível. Porém, a CPP fornece resultados mais demorados do que a EPF. Para que haja detecção pela EPF, a quantidade de células aderidas aos cupons deve estar com contagens médias de uma célula por campo, no mínimo. A EPF permite verificar a morfologia das células, bem como, a distribuição destas bactérias aderidas às diferentes superfícies avaliadas. É recomendável utilizar a EPF para a quantificação de bactérias sésseis, principalmente quando as contagens sejam menores ou iguais a 4,1 x 105 UFC.cm-2. Este experimento mostrou que Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 aderiu nas superfícies avaliadas. Entretanto, não há como sugerir a superfície mais recomendada para a utilização em processamento de alimentos devido a suas aplicações específicas. Os resultados mostram a importância de práticas higiênicas corretas na indústria de alimentos.
The adhesion of Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 was evaluated by the epifluorescence microscopy (EPF) and the plate count method (CPP) to surfaces used in food processing at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h contact times. The adhesion increase among the surfaces, in relation to time, was not followed in a similar way by the evaluated techniques. For example, in four hours, the surfaces which showed greater CFU.cm-2 logarithms and that did not show a significant difference in the adhesion by the Scott- Knott test (P > 0.05) were the double-faced rugous polyurethane, silicon coated with cloth, PVC thick coated with cloth, granite and marble by the EPF technique. Whereas by the CPP technique, in the same contact time, the greater CFU.cm-2 logarithms were for the silicone coated with cloth, double-faced rugous polyurethane, granite and polyurethane coated with cloth surfaces. The marble, granite, PVC thick coated with cloth, double faced rugous polyurethane and silicone coated with cloth surfaces differed form the others in the adhesion degree expressed in CFU.cm-2 (P > 0.05) in the 4, 6, 8 and 10 h times, when evaluated by the epifluorescence technique and, at 2 and 10 h, when evaluated by the plate count method. In another kind of evaluation, the differences between the techniques concerning the surfaces cluster according to the adhesion similarity were also observed. Thus, the surfaces, which showed a greater similarity percentage and a greater general average concerning the adhesion by the 14 EPF technique, were marble, granite and double-faced rugous polyurethane. In the CPP, this same fact was observed with the double-faced rugous polyurethane, silicone coated with cloth and granite surfaces. The surfaces showed very different microtopography characteristics when observed by the scanning electron microscopy, which can justify the differences between the observed adhesion degrees. The techniques have different behaviors for each contact time. It was observed that CPP, besides providing results lower than the EPF, also allowed the detection of lower adhesion values, being considered a more sensitive technique. However, the CPP provides longer results than the EPF. So that there is a detection by EPF, the quantity of adhered cells to the coupons must be with, at least, an average count of one cell per field. The EPF allows the cell morphology assay as well as the distribution of these bacteria adhered to the different evaluated surfaces. It is recommendable to use the EPF technique for the sessile bacteria quantifying, especially when the count is lower or equal to 4,1 x 105 CFU.cm-2. This study showed that the Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 adhered to the evaluated surfaces. However, there is no way to suggest the most recommendable surface for the use in the food processing due to their specific application. The results show the importance of the correct hygienic practices in the food industry.
