Abstract:

Virulence-factor activity relationship (VFAR) is a concept that was developed as a way to relate the architectural and biochemical components of a microorganism to its potential to cause human disease. Development of these relationships requires specialised bioinformatics databases that do not exist at present. A pilot-scale VFAR database was designed for three different waterborne organisms: Escherichia coli, Norovirus and Cryptosporidium, to evaluate VFAR relationships. For the web-based database, each organism has separate pages containing virulence genes, occurrence genes, primer sets and probes, taxonomy, outbreaks, and serotype/species/genogroup/genotype. As the database continues to grow, it will be possible to relate the occurrence and prevalence of certain genes in various microorganisms to outbreak data and, subsequently, to establish the utility of using a combination of specific genes as markers of virulence and in establishing virulence-factor activity relationships (VFARs). The database and the VFARs established will be of use to the regulatory community as a way to assist with prioritising those organisms, which need to be regulated.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—The National Inventory of Clinical Laboratory Testing Services (NICLTS) was designed to give an unbiased estimate of all patient testing performed by laboratories registered under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments in 1996. Objective.—Survey data were used to develop a profile of laboratory testing primarily intended to identify microorganisms or antibodies to these microorganisms. Design.—Estimates of the extent of microorganism identification were derived from the NICLTS database by identifying associated tests and methods. The volumes for tests performed at locations that primarily prepared blood components for distribution were excluded. Organisms of public health importance were identified from the National Notifiable Disease list maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participants.—Laboratories that were enrolled in the 1996 Online Certification Survey and Reporting System, maintained by the US Health Care Finance Administration, and that performed laboratory testing in 1996. Outcome Measure.—Estimated volumes and associated confidence limits by test, method, specimen type, public health importance, and testing location. Results.—Excluding testing of the blood supply, 315 million tests (95% confidence limits, 280–354 million tests) were performed in the United States for microorganism identification. Those tests for which public health consensus requires national reporting represented 38% of this total. Although hospitals performed 46% of all microorganism identification, they only performed 33% of the testing for microorganisms of public health importance. Independent and specialty laboratories performed 38% of all testing but 65% of the testing for microorganisms of public health importance. Direct methods (methods not involving culture) were used in 77% of the tests for microorganisms of public health importance and in 42% of all identification tests. Conclusions.—The distribution of microorganism identification testing found using NICLTS data is consistent with plans to modernize the public health surveillance system in the United States.

Abstract:

The use of microorganisms for biological pest control as biological control agents (BCAs) and biopesticides was developed worldwide in the 1960s. Despite the abundance of reviews published on this topic, no meta-analysis using bibliometric tools has been published. The objective of this study was to determine patterns of research on microorganisms for the biological control of pests, based on publications available in the SCOPUS® database. The data were obtained from the Elsevier® Scopus meta-database using the search terms “biological pest control” and “microorganism” (title, abstract, and keywords). The main publications were identified, along with the journals, countries, and institutions that have published on the subject. The data were analyzed with VOSviewer to determine the co-occurrence of terms, and four maps were generated. The results show two phases in the scientific research on the subject: The first is the characterization of biological control agents, and the second is focused on the commercial development of biopesticides and biological control agents. The most recent research emphasizes the discovery of new species and strains that have commercial potential, with an emphasis on genetic engineering and biotechnology.

Various researches in molecular epidemiology, molecular diagnosis and evolutionary genetics related to pathogens are compared to managing large amounts of data derived from institutions such as, hospitals or laboratories. Although there already are some proposals to connect molecular information to the diagnosis of pathogens, none of them uses high performance bioinformatics tools which are embedded in a system and linked to a patient’s electronic record. The MolEpi tool has been developed as a system of data and information management addressed to public health, incorporating clinical and epidemiological information about patients, as well as molecular data of 16S rRNA sequences of pathogenic bacteria. In order to confirm which species of these bacteria were identified, biological samples (urine, secretions and purulent wounds, tracheal aspirate and blood) and subsequently incubation and growth of colonies in culture, and PCR was used followed by sequencing and analysis of the conserved coding region for 16S ribosomal RNA (rDNA). Such strategy enabled fast bacterial identification, regardless of prior knowledge of the species of microorganism under study. Moreover MolEpi is a system interconnected to repositories of specific sequences as Genbank (NCBI), RDP-II (Ribosomal Database Project - MSU) and GreenGene (LBL). In this way, once the sequences of clinical isolates are confirmed and validated, they can be used as reference in the identification of other unknown microorganisms. Thus, a local database was established, representing the profile of pathogens found in the hospital unity of study and which should be object of public health surveillance. In order to develop MolEpi, we used the Java programming language and the PostgreSQL8.3 object-relational database. It was also developed BACSearch, which has the following programs to handle the analysis of 16S rDNA sequences, we used the framework BioJava; to multiple alignment, ClustalW2, MAFFT and MUSCLE, and for editing of multiple alignment and phylogenetic analysis, the JalView2.4.0 was used. The system was validated with 200 clinical specimens isolated and identified from sites of nosocomial infection. The DNA sequences produced from these samples were subjected to BLAST by using the developed tool, which identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Morganella morganii as the main pathogens involved. Data on resistance patterns of the species were obtained in microbiology laboratory, and incorporated into the database. The application of MolEpi tool to the Health System can provide prompt and accurate diagnosis, connected to relevant network information which can be intended for health professionals.
A maioria das pesquisas em epidemiologia molecular, diagnóstico molecular e genética evolutiva são confrontadas com o gerenciamento de grandes volumes de dados. Além disso, os dados utilizados em estudos de doenças patogênicas são complexos e geralmente derivam de instituições tais como hospitais ou laboratórios. Embora já existam propostas que conecte informações moleculares ao diagnóstico de patogenias, nenhuma delas utilizam ferramentas de bioinformática de alto desempenho incorporadas a um sistema e vinculada a um prontuário eletrônico do paciente. MolEpi foi desenvolvido como um sistema de gerenciamento de dados e informações dimensionado a saúde pública, incorporando informações clínicas e epidemiológicas sobre pacientes e dados moleculares de sequências do gene rRNA 16S de bactérias patogênicas. Para identificação destas bactérias foram utilizadas amostras biológicas (urina, secreções e purulentas de feridas, aspirado traqueal e sangue) e PCR seguida de sequenciamento e análise da região conservada codificadora de RNA ribossômico (rDNA) 16S. Este estratégia permite uma identificação bacteriana rápida, independente de conhecimento prévio da espécie de microrganismo em estudo. O MolEpi é um sistema facilmente atualizável com as sequências específicas de bancos como Genbank(NCBI), RDP-II (Ribosomal Database Project - MSU) e GreenGene (LBL). A partir da confirmação e validação das sequências dos isolados clínicos, estas podem ser utilizadas como referência na identificação de outros microrganismos desconhecidos. Neste sentido, foi estabelecido um banco de dados local, representativo do perfil de patógenos encontrados na unidade hospitalar de estudo e objeto de vigilância epidemiológica. Para o desenvolvimento do MolEpi, utilizamos a linguagem Java e banco de dados PostgreSQL8.3. Foi desenvolvido também o BACSearch, que possui os seguintes programas: para o processamento de sequências de rDNA 16S utilizamos os frameworks BioJava; para alinhamento múltiplo foi implementado o ClustalW2, MAFFT e o MUSCLE e para edição do alinhamento múltiplo e análise filogenética foi utilizado JalView R⃝2.4.0b2. O sistema foi validado com 200 espécimes clínicos identificadas e isoladas de sítios de infecção hospitalar. As sequências de DNA produzidas a partir destas amostras foram submetidas ao BLAST, utilizando a ferramenta desenvolvida, identificando Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiela pneumonie e Staphylococcus aureus como os principais patógenos correspondentes. Os dados sobre o padrão de resistência das espécies foram obtidos em laboratório de microbiologia e incorporados ao banco de dados. A aplicação do MolEpi ao Sistema Único de Saúde poderá fornecer diagnósticos mais rápidos, precisos, e interligados a uma rede de informações relevantes para o profissional de saúde.

In soil, a lot of soluble inorganic phosphate is fixed and rapidly immobilized to forms which are unavailable to plants. The phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) are capable of solubilizing insoluble inorganic phosphate into forms that can be utilized by plants. It is generally accepted that the major mechanism of mineral phosphate solubilization is the action of organic acids secreted by microorganisms. Our objective was to understand the diversity of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms in the subtropical zone, Taiwan. Thirteen six strains were isolated and identified by sequencing partial 16S rDNA. Isolates were analysed by RAPD to examine in detail the divergence among genomes and the secreted organic acids were analyzed by HPLC. The results of 34 identified strains are Arthrobacter nicotinovorans, 1 strain, Arthrobacter ureafaciens, 5 strains, Bacillus sp., 10 strains, Chryseobacterium indoltheticum, 1 strain, Gordonia sp., 1 strain, Nocardioides simplex, 1 strain, Phyllobacterium rubiacearum, 1 strain, Rhodococcus erythropolis, 8 strains and Serratia sp., 5 strains. One unnamed organism (bc13) is close to cucurbit yellow vine disease bacterium in the alignment of RDP database. Another unnamed organism (bc21) shows no close relationship to any bacteria specie in RDP database. The unnamed organism (bc21) may be a new local strain in Taiwan. Among the identified strains, Arthrobacter nicotinovorans, Arthrobacter ureafaciens, Nocardioides simplex, Phyllobacterium rubiacearum and Rhodococcus erythropolis were not ever reported in their phosphate solubilizing capability. It is thus clear that phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms distribute widely. The result of RAPD analysis can be divided into 4 clusters. The correlation coefficient of isolates among populations, pH values and P-concentrations showed significance (P<0.05). Chryseobacterium indoltheticum (bc05) had a lot of P-concentrations (289.8 mgL-1) with middle pH value at 6.0. We found there was unknown3 substance in HPLC analysis. Whether unknown3 substance effected capability of solubilizing phosphate or other factors existed, that needs to research further. The more organic acids secreted and the more P-concentrations existed in the media which was clearly demonstrated in Arthrobacter nicotinovorans (bc03, bc34). Other isolates also produced more than one organic acid. Some organic acids secreted such as gluconic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, unknown1 and unknown2 were found among other strains. In this study, organic acids truly play an important role in solubilizing phosphate and these strains which we isolated in the subtropical zone, Taiwan, are divergent in genome and metabolism of organic acids.

High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) has been employed for separation and detection of protein biomarkers from E. coli samples. LC-MS is suitable for microbial identification because it can couple on-line with sample clean-up devices and is readily amenable to automation. In this work, we have investigated the effects of sample preparation methods on the detection of bacterial proteins by LC-MS. Many factors effect the degree of variations in the protein patterns (i.e. number and mass of proteins). For example, changing the polarity as well as pH of the extraction solvent may control the number of detected proteins. It is also noted that the protein patterns can vary even when the total ion chromatography plots seem to be the same under the same preparation conditions. In spite of the variation in protein patterns, all the database search results show that the best matches come from the correct microorganism. Direct MS analysis of microorganisms has also been carried out without prior LC separation. Based on the results of the solvent effect study in the LC-MS work, a 70% acetonitrile /0.1% formic acid solution was used to extract biomarkers from Bacillus subtilis、Streptococuus bovis、Xanthomonas campestris and Staphylococcus aureus. All the spectra showed different finger print biomarkers that differentiated the microorganisms at both the genus and species levels.

Abstract:

AbstractMicroorganisms form the backbone of life on Earth. Over billions of years, they have colonized and shaped every possible niche on the planet. Microbes have modelled both the land and the sea, and have created favourable conditions for multicellular organisms to thrive in. Our understanding of how microbial diversity is distributed across natural environments and how microbes affect ecosystems is constantly evolving as public databases are set up and new techniques based on massive sequencing are developed. The microbiome found in a particular anthropogenic environment is generally much less complex than those found in natural ones: there is less competition and the main actors are often linked to survival mechanisms regulated by a few limiting factors. Despite this simplicity, it is very difficult to link cause and effect when seeking to identify the role of individual organisms. In the case of biodeterioration of paper and parchment, even when analysing the individual components of a simple phenomenon, it is not always easy to understand the mechanisms at play. Works of art are unique objects and the elements that determine the arrival and establishment of one or more microorganisms and the direction that the biodeterioration process takes are always different. In some cases, however, there are common denominators and predictable mechanisms. The variables that come into play are examined below.

Abstract:

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence. They are present in air, soil, water, and all kinds of living creatures. Varieties of microbes have been linked to diseases of humans, animals, and plants. Advances in molecular biology, electronics, nanotechnology, computer sciences, and information technology have made it possible to hybridize these to create ubiquitous devices and biosensors that would indicate presence of microbial agents in water, foods, air, hospitals, animal farms, and other environments. Analyses of microbial genomes and phylogenies have become increasingly important in the tracking and investigation of events leading to spread of microbial diseases and biocrimes. The capability of microorganisms to communicate with similar as well as different microorganisms, the ability to react to the environmental changes, and most of all, the intelligence to manage themselves without the need for supervision during deployment and operation; makes them attractive agents for use in Biosensors. Biosensors such as genetically engineered bacteria have been proven useful. It appears possible to develop biosensors that could detect the presence of biocrime/bioterror agents in diverse environments. Ubiquitous computing technology has the potential to develop integrated small devices which could detect bioterrorism agents. Similarly, pervasive computing could be a tool to monitor the microbial pollution in water, milk, and other edible commodities. Microbial forensics has become an important field for research and development due to increased threats of biocrimes. Microbial forensics requires utilization of diverse data that are acquired through standard processes in distributed locations. Technologies for data production are evolving rapidly, especially with respect to instrumentation and techniques that produce high-resolution data about the molecular constituents of living cells (DNA, mRNA, proteins, and metabolites) that are used as microbial signatures/fingerprints. Both bioinformatics and computational biology have grown over the last 20 years, and diverse database systems and analytical tools have been developed and deployed. Some public domain resources, such as GenBank, have become very important resources of research on a global scale. Effective responses to natural, accidental, or intentional outbreaks of infectious diseases in humans, livestock, and agricultural crops, will require that the information be easily accessed in real-time or near real-time. Flexible, decentralized, modular information system architectures, able to adapt to evolving requirements and available on the Internet, are needed.

Abstract:

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coconut that causes various life-threatening infections and, in turn, represents a major producer of healthcare-associated infections. This pathogen is highly resistant to antibiotics, which has made it difficult to eradicate in recent decades. Photodynamic therapy is a promising approach to address the notable shortage of antibiotic options against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This therapy combines the use of a photosensitizing agent, light, and oxygen to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to provide relevant bibliographic information about the application of photodynamic therapy as an alternative antimicrobial therapy for Staphylococcus aureus infections. Methods: This review was achieved through a bibliographic search in various databases and the analysis of relevant publications on the subject. Results: A large body of evidence demonstrates the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in eliminating biofilm- or biofilm-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus, as well as antibiotic-resistant strains. Conclusion: We conclude that photodynamic therapy against Staphylococcus aureus is a recommended antibacterial therapy that may complement antibiotic treatment.

ABSTRACT Background: Diarrhea is a common problem for children under five years of age.
