La fiebre por mordedura de rata es causada por dos especies bacterianas, Spirillum minus y Streptobacillus moniliformis; en el presente trabajo nos enfocaremos mas al Spirillum minus, pero sin dejar de lado las otras especies de Spirillum y a S. moniliformis porque es el que en mayor proporción presenta esta enfermedad y además que nos permite el diagnóstico diferencial. Las dos bacterias producen enfermedades que son conocidas respectivamente como: fiebre por mordedura de ratas, Sodoku o fiebre espirilar , provocada por S. minus y fiebre estreptobacilar o La fiebre de Haverhill por S. moniliformis. En EE. UU. La fiebre por mordedura de rata es generalmente causada por el S. moniliformis, un bacilo pleomórfico Gram negativo. Este organismo también ha sido llamado Streptothrix muris ratti, Nocardia muris, Actinomyces muris, Actinobacillus muris, Proactinomyces muris, Haverhilliamultiformis, y Asterococcus muris. Mientras que el S. minus es comúnmente causante de la fiebre por mordedura de rata en Asia, es un organismo espiral corto Gram- negativo con dos o tres vueltas. Se ha publicado relativamente poco acerca de S. minus; nunca se ha desarrollado en medios artificiales y no está bien caracterizado. La distribución geográfica de Spirillum minus pueden encontrarse en todo el mundo; sin embargo, es común en Asia. También se han registrado casos en habitantes de África. y como se mencionó no esta caracterizado muy bien por tanto no existe mucha información acerca de este Spirillum. En cuanto a Morbilidad y mortalidad algunos autores afirman que “la incidencia de la fiebre por mordedura de rata parece incrementar con el aumento de la popularidad de las ratas como mascotas”. “El índice de mortalidad para la fiebre espirilar por mordedura de rata no tratada es de aproximadamente un 7% y un 10%”. Con una mayor proporción de mortalidad por S. moniliformis no tratadas, aproximadamente en un 10% y un 13% de los pacientes. 5 Para la prevención de esta enfermedad se aconseja evitar la exposición a las ratas, especialmente las ratas silvestres. Se deben controlar las poblaciones de ratas silvestres cerca de los hogares; hacer limpieza en los hogares y no dejar alimentos expuestos al medio ambiente. Se deben evitar los alimentos y agua potencialmente contaminados. La pasteurización de la leche y la esterilización del agua potable disminuyen el riesgo de fiebre de Haverhill. El Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (Centers forDisease Control and Prevention, CDC) de EE. UU. Recomienda que “las personas que han sido mordidas por una rata deben buscar una atención médica e informen acerca de su historia de exposición a fin de asegurar que la fiebre por mordedura de rata sea considerada en el diagnóstico diferencial”. II. ANTECEDENTES. La fiebre por mordedura de rata es una rara enfermedad propagada por roedores infectados. Causada por dos bacterias diferentes (Streptobacillus moniliformis o Spirillum minus), las cuales se encuentran en las bocas de roedores. En el pasado se presentaron a clínicas, pacientes con signos y síntomas de Escalofríos, Fiebre, Ganglios linfáticos inflamados sobre todo Erupciones rojas o púrpuras. Otros pacientes presentaban síntomas similares como Escalofríos, Fiebre, pero con dolor, enrojecimiento o hinchazón articular y Salpullido. Se pudo llegar al diagnóstico, en los primeros pacientes mencionados era causada por un espirilo del género Spirillum minus y el segundo por un bacilo Streptobacillus moniliformis, los vectores transmisores eran las ratas y que ambas bacterias causaban la enfermedad común que hoy se conoce como “fiebre por mordedura de ratas”, pero que se diferencian en algunas sintomatologías, periodos de incubación, diagnóstico y en otros. Estas enfermedades sobresalen más en: Asia. Europa. América del Norte. La mayoría de las personas infectadas es a través del contacto con orina o secreciones 6 provenientes de la boca (mordedura), los ojos o la nariz de un animal infectado (en este caso las ratas). Pero también pueden estar involucrados otros animales como las ardillas, comadrejas, conejos, gatos y otros. III. JUSTIFICACIÓN. Es bueno conocer otras especies de menor patogenia, bacterias a las que alguna vez pasamos desapercibidas por enfocarnos en bacterias patógenas de mayor incidencia. En nuestro medio se puede encontrar roedores, entre estos las ratas que se encuentran en los extremos o alrededor de la ciudad, en el área rural debido a que conservan leguminosas posterior a las cosechas realizadas. Todos corremos el riesgo de ser mordidos alguna vez por las ratas, por tanto decidimos enfocarnos en la investigación de este género, sabiendo que la fiebre por ratas es un trastorno zoonótico que se contrae la por la mordedura de las ratas o roedores, por consumo de alimentos lácteos contaminadas (S. moiliformis) y esto puede afectar a gran parte de la población si no se toma las precauciones necesarias. Poco se sabe del género Spirillum, sin embargo entre las que se destaca en este género es el Spirillum minus que causa la “fiebre por mordedura de ratas”. 7 IV. OBJETIVOS. A. GENERAL. Describir adecuadamente las especies, patogenia y otras características del género Spirillum. B. ESPECÍFICO. Describir cuál es el agente etiológico de la fiebre por mordedura de ratas. Conocer la clínica del genero Spirillum. Describir sobre el vector que contrae el género Spirillum. Determinar el modo de crecimiento del genero Spirillum. Conocer enfermedades relacionadas con el género Spirillum. 8 V. MARCO TEÓRICO. A. FIEBRE CAUSADA POR SPIRILLUM EN EL HOMBRE. 1. EL GÉNERO SPIRILLUM. Genero de bacterias espirales y curvas de la familia Spirillacea, que consta de células pequeñas, rígidas y helicoidales con flagelos bipolares, son organismos móviles y microareófilos o aerobios; se encuentra en aguas dulces y saladas que contienen materia orgánica.1 EL único representante patógeno de los espirilos es el agente etiológico de Sodoku; el Spirillum, que pertenece a la familia espirillaceae algunos autores incluyen a los Spirillum en el orden de las espiroquetas ILUSTRACIÓN 1. (TOMADA DE HTTP://WWW.WRONGDIAGNOSIS.COM/ME) 2. TAXONOMIA. A través de la historia de la microbiología puede verse, que no era fácil conseguir la separación neta entre los distintos tipos bacterianos ni en caracteres morfológicos, ni fisiológicos. No se conocían mecanismos de intercambio genético claros que situaran en unos límites definidos a una especie bacteriana concreta, y por supuesto, resultaba muy complicado situar en zonas geográficas determinadas a la mayoría de las especies bacterianas conocidas porque eran prácticamente cosmopolitas. En 1838 Ehrenberg distingue cinco géneros bacterianos que incluye en el Reino Animal. Este autor habla de Bacterium, Vibrio, Spirillum, Spirochaeta y Spirodiscus, según las bacterias se presentaran en forma de bacilos rígidos, bacilos flexibles, espirales rígidas, espirales flexibles y espirales aplastadas respectivamente. 9 1GABRIELA BEBER, MARCO BURGOS, PILAR CAMPS. “ diccionario médico de Dorland”. 27° edición. Madrid. 2006. En 1872, Cohn, asigna por vez primera a las bacterias una naturaleza vegetal y distingue 6 géneros: Micrococcus (esféricos), Bacterium (bacilos cortos), Bacillus(bacilos largos), Vibrio (bacilos largos ligeramente curvados), Spirillum (espiralesrígidas)

Velho Rodrigues1, Maciej Lisicki2, Eric Lauga1,* 1 Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 0WA, United Kingdom. 2 Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland. *Email: [email protected] Abstract Unicellular microscopic organisms living in aqueous environments outnumber all other creatures on Earth. A large proportion of them are able to self-propel in fluids with a vast diversity of swimming gaits and motility patterns. In this paper we present a biophysical survey of the available experimental data produced to date on the characteristics of motile behaviour in unicellular microswimmers. We assemble from the available literature empirical data on the motility of four broad categories of organisms: bacteria (and archaea), flagellated eukaryotes, spermatozoa and ciliates. Whenever possible, we gather the following biological, morphological, kinematic and dynamical parameters: species, geometry and size of the organisms, swimming speeds, actuation frequencies, actuation amplitudes, number of flagella and properties of the surrounding fluid. We then organise the data using the established fluid mechanics principles for propulsion at low Reynolds number. Specifically, we use theoretical biophysical models for the locomotion of cells within the same taxonomic groups of organisms as a means of rationalising the raw material we have assembled, while demonstrating the variability for organisms of different species within the same group. The material gathered in our work is an attempt to summarise the available experimental data in the field, providing a convenient and practical reference point for future studies.

The hierarchical taxonomic system of the phylum Proteobacteria began in 1809 when the genus Polyangium was first reported and has been generally adopted from 2001 based on the road map of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Until February 2018, the phylum Proteobacteria consisted of eight classes, 44 orders, 120 families, and more than 1,000 genera. Proteobacteria species isolated from various environments in Korea have been reported since 1999, and 644 species have been approved as of February 2018. In this study, all novel Proteobacteria species from Korean environments were affiliated with four classes, 25 orders, 65 families, and 261 genera. A total of 304 species belonged to the class Alphaproteobacteria, 257 species to the class Gammaproteobacteria, 82 species to the class Betaproteobacteria, and one species to the class Epsilonproteobacteria. The predominant orders were Rhodobacterales, Sphingomonadales, Burkholderiales, Lysobacterales and Alteromonadales. The most diverse and greatest number of novel Proteobacteria species were isolated from marine environments. Proteobacteria species were isolated from the whole territory of Korea, with especially large numbers from the regions of Chungnam/Daejeon, Gyeonggi/Seoul/Incheon, and Jeonnam/Gwangju.

  • Tikrit University Microbiology Science Collage Forth Class Biology
    Tikrit University Microbiology Science Collage Forth class Biology Department Bacterial Taxonomy Lecture 6 ●The Betaproteobacteria: There is considerable overlap between the betaproteobacteria and the alphaproteobacteria, for example, among the nitrifying bacteria discussed earlier. The betaproteobacteria often use nutrient substances that diffuse away from areas of anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, such as hydrogen gas, ammonia, and methane. Several important pathogenic bacteria are found in this group. ●Thiobacillus: Thiobacillus (thī-ō-ba-silʹ lus) species and other sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are important in the sulfur cycle. These chemoautotrophic bacteria are capable of obtaining energy by oxidizing the reduced forms of sulfur, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), or elemental sulfur (S0), into sulfates (SO42−). ●Spirillum: The habitat of the genus Spirillum (spī-rilʹ lum) is mainly fresh water. An important morphological difference from the helical spirochetes is that Spirillum bacteria are motile by conventional polar flagella, rather than axial filaments. The spirilla are relatively large, gram-negative, aerobic bacteria. Spirillum volutans (vō-lū-tans) is often used as a demonstration slide when microbiology students are first introduced to the operation of the microscope. ●Sphaerotilus: Sheathed bacteria, which include Sphaerotilus natans (sfe-raʹ ti-lus naʹ tans), are found in freshwater and in sewage. These gram-negative bacteria with polar flagella form a hollow, filamentous sheath in which to live. Sheaths are protective and also aid in nutrient accumulation. Sphaerotilus probably contributes to bulking, an important problem in sewage treatment. ●Burkholderia: The genus Burkholderia was formerly grouped with the genus Pseudomonas, which is now classified under the gammaproteobacteria. Like the pseudomonads, almost all Burkholderia species are motile by a single polar flagellum or tuft of flagella.

Sulphate reduction, denitrification and iron-metabolising activities were detected in the aquifer, as well as different enzymatic activities related to the degradation of labile and complex pools of organic matter. Prokaryotic diversity was assessed by environmental 16S rRNA gene amplification, cloning and sequencing. Bacterial diversity was greater in the shallower aquifer sample (49S1, 15 m depth), including members of the Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, Nitrospirae, some divergent lineages and the candidate divisions SPAM, OP3, OP11, ‘Endomicrobia’ or Termite Group 1 and a novel division-level group including denitrifying bacteria associated to anaerobic methane-oxidising archaea, whereas only Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were detected in the deeper sample (56S, 80 m depth). By contrast, archaea seemed much more diverse in the deeper aquifer sample, with members of the Methanomicrobiales, ANME2-related Methanosarcinales and other divergent lineages, whereas only Group I Crenarchaeota were detected in the shallower sam- ple. Betaproteobacteria were the most abundant and diverse group in both sample libraries, together with the Gammaproteobacteria in the deeper and more saline 56S sample.
