Silicone colonization by non-Candida albicans Candida species in the presence of urine
More LessUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common nosocomial infections and 80 % are related to the use of urinary catheters. Furthermore, Candida species are responsible for around 15 % of UTIs and an increasing involvement of non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species (e.g. Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis) has been recognized. Given the fact that silicone is frequently used in the manufacture of urinary catheters, the aim of this work was to compare both the adhesion and biofilm formation on silicone of different urinary clinical isolates of NCAC species (i.e. C. glabrata, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis) in the presence of urine. Several clinical isolates of NCAC species recovered from patients with UTIs, together with reference strains of each species, were examined. Adhesion and biofilm formation were performed in artificial urine and the biofilm biomass was assessed by crystal violet staining. Hydrophobicity and surface charge of cells was determined by measuring contact angles and zeta potential, respectively. The number of viable cells in biofilms was determined by enumeration of c.f.u. after appropriate culture. The biofilm structure was also examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results showed that all isolates adhered to silicone in a species- and strain-dependent manner with C. parapsilosis showing the lowest and C. glabrata the highest levels of adhesion. However, these differences in adhesion abilities cannot be correlated with surface properties since all strains examined were hydrophilic and exhibited a similar zeta potential. Despite a higher number of cultivable cells being recovered after 72 h of incubation, stronger biofilm formation was not observed and CLSM showed an absence of extracellular polymeric material for all isolates examined. In summary, this work demonstrated that all tested NCAC species were able to adhere to and survive on silicone in the presence of urine. Furthermore, C. glabrata strains presented higher colonization abilities than C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis strains, a fact that might explain the larger role of C. glabrata colonization and disseminated infections in hospitalized and catheterized patients.

Differential roles for NOD2 in osteoblast inflammatory immune responses to bacterial pathogens of bone tissue
More LessOsteoblasts produce an array of immune molecules following bacterial challenge that can contribute to inflammation and the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of infection during bone diseases such as osteomyelitis. However, the mechanisms by which osteoblasts perceive and respond to facultative intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella species and Staphylococcus aureus have not been determined. Recently, our laboratory has described the expression in osteoblasts of members of the nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat region containing family of proteins that include nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-2 (NOD2), a molecule that functions as an intracellular receptor for bacterial peptidoglycans. In the present study, we demonstrate that NOD2 expression is required for select inflammatory mediator production by osteoblasts following infection with the invasive pathogen Salmonella. In contrast, we have found that the inflammatory immune responses of osteoblasts to the passively internalized bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, heat-killed pathogenic Salmonella, a non-invasive Salmonella strain and specific Toll-like receptor ligands are not reduced in the absence of NOD2 expression but are, in fact, elevated. Based upon these findings, we suggest that NOD2 serves differential roles in osteoblasts, promoting inflammatory responses to invasive bacteria while tempering cell responses to extracellular and/or passively internalized bacterial species.

Multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains harbouring classical toxin B
Atypical Vibrio cholerae O1 strains – hybrid strains (strains that cannot be classified either as El Tor or classical biotype) and altered strains (El Tor biotype strains that produce classical cholera toxin) – are currently prevalent in Asia and Africa. A total of 74 hybrid and altered strains that harboured classical cholera toxin were investigated by multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA). The results showed that the hybrid/altered strains could be categorized into three groups and that they were distant from the El Tor strain responsible for the seventh cholera pandemic. Hybrid/altered strains with a tandem repeat of the classical CTX prophage on the small chromosome were divided into two MLVA groups (group I: Mozambique/Bangladesh group; group III: Vietnam group), and altered strains with the RS1–CTX prophage containing the El Tor type rstR and classical ctxB on the large chromosome were placed in two MLVA groups (group II: India/Bangladesh group; group III: India/Vietnam group).

Allelic variation in colonization factor CS6 of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from patients with acute diarrhoea and controls
Colonization factor antigens (CFAs) are important virulence factors in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Using a multiplex PCR and RT-PCR, this study tested the presence of common colonization factor-encoding genes and their expression in 50 ETEC strains isolated from stool specimens. The samples were from patients (children) with acute diarrhoea (cases) admitted to the Infectious Disease Hospital (Kolkata, India) and from normal children (controls) under 5 years of age from the community. The results indicated that coli surface antigen 6 (CS6) was the most prevalent CFA (78 %) expressed by these ETEC strains. Sequence analysis of both of the CS6 structural genes, i.e. cssA and cssB, in different ETEC isolates revealed the presence of point mutations in a systematic fashion. Based on the analysis of these variations, it was found that CssA had three alleles and CssB had two. Based on the allelic variations, subtyping of CS6 into AIBI, AIIBII, AIIIBI, AIBII and AIIIBII is proposed. The point mutations in the different alleles were reflected in a partial alteration in the secondary structure of both subunits, as determined by computational analysis. The functional significance of these changes was confirmed with cellular binding studies in Caco-2 cells with representative ETEC isolates. CS6 with AI or AIII allelic subtypes showed a higher binding capacity than AII, whereas BI showed stronger binding than BII. The AII and BII alleles were mostly detected in controls rather than in cases. The antibody specificity of BI and BII also varied due to alteration of the amino acids. Thus, CS6 variants are formed as a result of different allelic combinations of CssA and CssB, and these changes at the functional level might be important in the development of an effective ETEC vaccine.

Genetic characterization and diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates with macrolide resistance
Macrolide resistance in 169 Streptococcus agalactiae [group B streptococcus (GBS)] isolates originating from pregnant carriers was investigated. Using multiplex PCR the presence of genes encoding erythromycin resistance and capsular polysaccharides, as well as surface proteins, was determined. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and PFGE were used to characterize specific clones among the isolates. In the examined population of women, erythromycin-resistant strains were found in 4.5 % of patients, whereas clindamycin-resistant strains were found in 3 % of patients, which was 16 % of strains resistant to erythromycin and 10 % of strains resistant to clindamycin among GBS isolates, respectively. Among the isolates, the largest percentage was represented by the constitutive macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B (cMLSB) phenotype (63 %), then the inductive macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B (iMLSB) phenotype (26 %) and the macrolide resistance (M) phenotype (11 %). The ermB gene was indicated in all isolates with the cMLSB phenotype and V serotype, whereas mefA/mefE genes were found in isolates with the M phenotype and Ia serotype. Among resistance isolates, serotype V was predominant (67 %), followed by serotypes II (15 %), Ia (11 %) and III (7 %). The most common surface protein encoding genes were alp3 (70 %), then rib (11 %), epsilon (7.5 %), bca (7.5 %) and alp2 (4 %). A statistically significant relationship between macrolide resistance, serotype V and the alp3 gene was demonstrated. PFGE, in comparison to the RAPD method, gave better genetic discrimination of GBS isolates. A relatively high genetic diversity among investigated strains was shown. In addition, the largest genetic homogeneity was found in serotype V.

Identification of molecularly defined Staphylococcus aureus strains using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and the Biotyper 2.0 database
More LessMatrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently been introduced for bacterial identification. To our knowledge, this is the first study where the Biotyper 2.0 database (Bruker Daltonics) has been applied for bacterial identification in a local strain collection of molecularly defined Staphylococcus aureus. We showed that the accuracy of the Biotyper 2.0-based identification for 602 molecularly defined strains of S. aureus, irrespective of meticillin resistance, was equivalent to that of the molecularly defined reference even at a score cut-off value of 2. Also, 412 isolates of 20 different species of non-S. aureus staphylococci were all correctly identified to species level compared to the molecularly defined reference. Moreover, the MALDI-TOF MS-based S. aureus identification approach was clearly faster than more time-consuming methods such as a molecular identification approach.

Human intestinal spirochaetosis in northern Japan
More LessA histological diagnosis of human intestinal spirochaetosis (HIS) was made in 114 patients during the period 1994–2007. All patients lived in three prefectures in the northern part of Honshu, Japan. Most patients were elderly and male. Twenty-nine patients complained of abdominal pain, bloody stools, diarrhoea or bowel symptoms, but most patients showed no direct symptoms of bowel disease, and occult faecal blood detected at medical check-up was the main reason for colonoscopic examination. There were no homosexual patients and no immunosuppressed patients. HIS was evenly distributed throughout the whole colorectum. PCR analysis of Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli revealed that more patients were infected with B. aalborgi. Follow-up PCR studies confirmed that infestation with B. aalborgi could be repeatedly detected over a 6 year period. This study, involving over 100 patients, identified the characteristic features of HIS in northern Japan. The results suggest that these spirochaetes may be harmless commensals that cause no obvious pathological alterations in infected individuals.

TOP2 gene disruption reduces drug susceptibility by increasing intracellular ergosterol biosynthesis in Candida albicans
In this study the role of the TOP2 gene in fungal drug susceptibility was investigated by disrupting and overexpressing the gene in Candida albicans. MIC determination and a spot assay showed that a top2Δ/Δ null mutant (strain T2bc) was more resistant to the antifungals tested than the wild-type (strain CAI4). Real-time RT-PCR and rhodamine 6G efflux examination showed that TOP2 did not influence the activity of drug efflux pumps. Sterol analysis with GC/high-resolution MS indicated that the intracellular ergosterol composition of the top2Δ/Δ mutant was significantly increased. Subsequently, fluorescence polarization measurements also revealed that Top2-deprived cells displayed a decrease in membrane fluidity, resulting in enhanced passive diffusion of the drugs. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis further confirmed that the ERG11 gene, an essential gene in ergosterol biosynthesis, was upregulated. These results demonstrate a close relationship between the TOP2 gene and drug susceptibility in C. albicans.

Is exposure to mercury a driving force for the carriage of antibiotic resistance genes?
The mercury resistance gene merA has often been found together with antibiotic resistance genes in human commensal Escherichia coli. To study this further, we analysed mercury resistance in collections of strains from various populations with different levels of mercury exposure and various levels of antibiotic resistance. The first population lived in France and had no known mercury exposure. The second lived in French Guyana and included a group of Wayampi Amerindians with a known high exposure to mercury. Carriage rates of mercury resistance were assessed by measuring the MIC and by detecting the merA gene. Mercury-resistant E. coli was found significantly more frequently in the populations that had the highest carriage rates of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and in parallel antibiotic resistance was higher in the population living in an environment with a high exposure to mercury, suggesting a possible co-selection. Exposure to mercury might be a specific driving force for the acquisition and maintenance of mobile antibiotic resistance gene carriage in the absence of antibiotic selective pressure.

Identification of novel pneumolysin alleles from paediatric carriage isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Pneumolysin (Ply) is a major virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae and is produced by all known clinical isolates of pneumococci. Pneumolysin toxoids are being considered as vaccine candidates. We investigated the diversity of pneumolysin among 194 nasopharyngeal pneumococci characterized by serotyping and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Eight Ply protein alleles were identified, four of which were novel. The 4 novel alleles varied at 10 different amino acid positions, from a total of 147, 3 of these substitutions have been previously reported in different combinations. The protein allele correlated closely with MLST. It is critical that the presence of pneumolysin variants is considered with regards to the potential use of Ply in future vaccine formulations, as variation in Ply amino acid sequence may influence the immunogenicity of vaccines based on the presence of an individual Ply allele.

Epidemic meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (EMRSA-15) variants detected in healthy and diseased individuals in India
More LessThis study provides what we believe to be the first report of the presence of EMRSA-15 and its variants isolated from nasal swabs from 13 healthy and diseased individuals in India. The majority of the isolates belonged to staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV and spa type t852, whilst four isolates were non-typable and heterotypic for the presence of the mecA gene. All non-typable isolates were positive for the orfX gene by PCR and belonged to spa types t005 and t2986. They may have variant SCCmec cassettes indicating genetic changes occurring in the Indian EMRSA-15. All isolates were positive for Panton–Valentine leukocidin and toxic shock syndrome toxin, which is a cause for concern. In addition to soft-tissue infections, the EMRSA-15 isolates from patients were also responsible for meningitis and brain abscesses, which is quite rare.

Predominance of an ST11 extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae clone causing bacteraemia and urinary tract infections in Korea
To investigate the antimicrobial resistance, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates causing bacteraemia or urinary tract infection (UTI) in Korea, a total of 406 K. pneumoniae isolates from patients with bacteraemia (221 isolates) and UTI (185 isolates) were collected from 10 tertiary-care Korean hospitals from July 2006 to October 2007. In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for all isolates and ESBL production was tested. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses were performed to characterize genotypes of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates. PFGE was performed for sequence type 11 (ST11) isolates. Forty-seven UTI isolates (25.4 %) produced ESBLs, while 30 bacteraemia isolates (13.6 %) produced ESBLs (P=0.002). Among 77 ESBL-producing isolates, thirty-two (41.6 %) produced SHV-type ESBLs. bla CTX-M genes such as bla CTX-M-14 and bla CTX-M-15 were detected in 36.4 %. MLST and PFGE analyses showed that ST11 was dominant in ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates causing UTI (57.4 %) and in those causing bacteraemia (70.0 %) and has been prevalent in Korean hospitals. ST11 isolates harbour a combination of different ESBL genes. The ST11 clone of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates prevails in Korea, but most isolates might acquire ESBL genes independently or several different clones might be distributed in Korea.

Do processing time and storage of sputum influence quantitative bacteriology in bronchiectasis?
More LessThis study aimed to establish whether the bacterial density of spontaneous sputum is affected by the time and mode of sample storage. Ten patients with bronchiectasis collected all sputum expectorated over 45 min. The samples were aliquoted and processed at 25 °C for qualitative and quantitative bacteriology at 1, 2, 4 and 6 h from expectoration. Further aliquots were stored at 25 °C, 4 °C and −20 °C for 24 and 48 h prior to processing. The species present was identified and median (interquartile range) sputum log10 bacterial density (c.f.u. ml−1) calculated. All samples cultured grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa and for two patients Staphylococcus aureus additionally grew for all samples. There was no significant difference in P. aeruginosa density in samples processed at 1, 2, 4 and 6 h following expectoration [8.2 (7.8–8.3) c.f.u. ml−1, 8.0 (7.8–8.3) c.f.u. ml−1, 8.0 (7.9–8.2) c.f.u. ml−1, 8.1 (7.9–8.2) c.f.u. ml−1, respectively, P=0.392]. Storage for 24 and 48 h at 4 °C did not significantly change the bacterial load compared with processing at 1 h [8.03 (7.6–8.2) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.07, and 7.96 (7.49–8.22) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.09, respectively]. Storage for 24 and 48 h at −20 °C significantly reduced P. aeruginosa density [7.1 (6.1–7.7) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.005, and 6.9 (6.2–7.6) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.008, respectively]. Storage at 25 °C for 24 and 48 h was associated with a significant increase in bacterial load [8.3 (8.1–8.6) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.009, and 8.4 (8.1–8.5) c.f.u. ml−1, P=0.03, respectively]. Bacterial density was not affected by storage for up to 6 h following expectoration at 25 °C; beyond this, storage at 4 °C is preferred.

Aspergillus niger: an unusual cause of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
More LessInfections due to Aspergillus species cause significant morbidity and mortality. Most are attributed to Aspergillus fumigatus, followed by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus terreus. Aspergillus niger is a mould that is rarely reported as a cause of pneumonia. A 72-year-old female with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and temporal arteritis being treated with steroids long term presented with haemoptysis and pleuritic chest pain. Chest radiography revealed areas of heterogeneous consolidation with cavitation in the right upper lobe of the lung. Induced bacterial sputum cultures, and acid-fast smears and cultures were negative. Fungal sputum cultures grew A. niger. The patient clinically improved on a combination therapy of empiric antibacterials and voriconazole, followed by voriconazole monotherapy. After 4 weeks of voriconazole therapy, however, repeat chest computed tomography scanning showed a significant progression of the infection and near-complete necrosis of the right upper lobe of the lung. Serum voriconazole levels were low–normal (1.0 μg ml−1, normal range for the assay 0.5–6.0 μg ml−1). A. niger was again recovered from bronchoalveolar lavage specimens. A right upper lobectomy was performed, and lung tissue cultures grew A. niger. Furthermore, the lung histopathology showed acute and organizing pneumonia, fungal hyphae and oxalate crystallosis, confirming the diagnosis of invasive A. niger infection. A. niger, unlike A. fumigatus and A. flavus, is less commonly considered a cause of invasive aspergillosis (IA). The finding of calcium oxalate crystals in histopathology specimens is classic for A. niger infection and can be helpful in making a diagnosis even in the absence of conidia. Therapeutic drug monitoring may be useful in optimizing the treatment of IA given the wide variations in the oral bioavailability of voriconazole.

Emergence of CTX-M-3, TEM-1 and a new plasmid-mediated MOX-4 AmpC in a multiresistant Aeromonas caviae isolate from a patient with pneumonia
Ying Ye, Xi-Hai Xu and Jia-Bin LiAeromonas species rarely cause pulmonary infection. We report, for what is believed to be the first time, a case of severe pneumonia in a cancer patient caused by Aeromonas caviae. Detailed microbiological investigation revealed that this isolate carried three β-lactamase-encoding genes (encoding MOX-4, CTX-M-3 and TEM-1) conferring resistance to all β-lactams but imipenem. The β-lactamase with a pI of 9.0 was transferred by conjugation and associated with a 7.3 kb plasmid, as demonstrated by Southern blot hybridization. Analysis of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences showed a new ampC gene that was closely related to those encoding the MOX-1, MOX-2 and MOX-3 β-lactamases. This new plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase from China was named MOX-4. This is believed to be the first report of MOX-4, CTX-M-3 and TEM-1 β-lactamases in a multiresistant A. caviae.

Nosocomial infection with Asaia lannensis in two paediatric patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
More LessThis is the first report, to our knowledge, of two temporally and geographically related nosocomial Asaia lannensis infections in a paediatric setting. Two patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy awaiting cardiac transplantation developed bacteraemia during their hospital stay. The physical location of both patients, the temporal association of infections, as well as the isolation of two identical pathogens suggested a nosocomial transmission. Commonly used identification methods and instruments failed to identify the isolated pathogens and only 16S rRNA gene sequencing provided definitive identification. These isolates of A. lannensis showed an unfavourable susceptibility pattern including resistance to carbapenems, all β-lactam agents and fluoroquinolones.

Nosocomial infection by VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas putida
More LessNosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas putida isolates have been reported occasionally in severely ill or immunocompromised patients. Here we report the microbiological characteristics of what are believed to be the two first carbapenem-resistant VIM metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing P. putida strains in Spain, which were isolated from patients at the University Hospital Complex of Santiago de Compostela. Both patients were immunocompromised with severe underlying diseases and had been hospitalized for more than 15 days. One of them had previously been treated with a broad-spectrum therapy. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that both strains were resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, gentamicin, tobramycin, aztreonam, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin, but sensitive to amikacin and colistin. For both isolates PCR and sequencing was positive for the bla VIM-2 gene. Fingerprinting analysis revealed these were two different strains. One patient recovered clinically and one died; no direct link could be established between the isolation of P. putida and death. Our data expose the emergence of multidrug-resistant P. putida VIM-2 MBL, probably arising by independent horizontal transfer of resistance genes. So, although P. putida is not frequently isolated, it may survive easily in the hospital setting and occasionally cause difficult-to-treat nosocomial infections in severely ill patients.

‘Neisseria skkuensis’ sp. nov., isolated from the blood of a diabetic patient with a foot ulcer
A Gram-negative bacterium was isolated from the blood of a patient with diabetes mellitus. However, it could not be identified by conventional microbiological methods, and so was characterized by phenotypic and genotypic analyses. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain belonged to the genus Neisseria. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, we propose that strain SMC-A9199T (=KCTC 22696T=JCM 16127T) should be classified as a novel species, ‘Neisseria skkuensis’ sp. nov. The patient was further treated with amoxicillin–clavulanate and ciprofloxacin for 3 weeks.
