Based on both Bacteriology, University of phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown Go$ teborg, Sweden bacterium be classified in the genus Rothia,asRothia nasimurium sp. nov.

Keywords: Rothia, Stomatococcus, taxonomy, phylogeny, 16S rRNA Rothia dentocariosa is found in the oral cavity and chemical and serological heterogeneity within the pharynx of man where it forms part of the normal species (e.g. Lesher et al., 1974; Schofield & Schaal, microflora (Schaal, 1992). This species is also now 1981; Fotos et al., 1984; Kronvall et al., 1998). In recognized as an opportunistic pathogen causing addition, the existence of a second genomovar of R. septicaemia and endocarditis, as well as other serious dentocariosa has recently been described from humans infections (e.g. Schafer et al., 1979; Pape et al., 1979; (Kronvall et al., 1998).

However, data on healthy microbiomes are not sufficient. To determine the nature of the core microbiome, the oral-microbiome structure was analyzed using pyrosequencing data. Saliva samples were obtained from healthy 90-year-old participants who attended the 20-year follow-up Niigata cohort study. A total of 85 people participated in the health checkups. The study population consisted of 40 male and 45 female participants. Stimulated saliva samples were obtained by chewing paraffin wax for 5 min. The V3–V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene were amplified by PCR.

Raccoon Rabies Immune Barrier Breach, Stark County Two raccoons collected this year in Stark County have been confirmed by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to be infected with the raccoon rabies variant virus. These raccoons were collected outside the Oral Rabies Vaccination (ORV) zone and represent the first breach of the ORV zone since a 2004 breach in Lake County. In 1997, a new strain of rabies in wild raccoons was introduced into northeastern Ohio from Pennsylvania. The Ohio Department of Health and other partner agencies implemented a program to immunize wild raccoons for rabies using an oral rabies vaccine. This effort created a barrier of immune animals that reduced animal cases and prevented the spread of raccoon rabies into the rest of Ohio.

Here we show that Rothia mucilaginosa is a common CF opportunist that was present in 83% of our patient cohort, almost as prevalent as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (89%). Sequencing of lung microbial metagenomes identified unique R. mucilaginosa strains in each patient, presumably due to evolution within the lung. The de novo assembly of a near-complete R. mucilaginosa (CF1E) genome illuminated a number of potential physiological adaptations to the CF lung, including antibiotic resistance, utilization of extracellular lactate, and modification of the type I restriction-modification system.

Odontogenic background of infection and initial clinical presentation suggested the presence of typical bacterial flora and uncomplicated course of treatment. However, despite surgical intervention and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, the expected improvement of a cli- nical status was not achieved. Only detailed bacteriological examination allowed to establish a bacterial pathogen and start a targeted antibiotic therapy. The unusual clinical course was moni- tored by imaging CT examination and further surgical interventions. A significant improvement was obtained in the third week of hospitalization and further antibiotic therapy was continued by means of outpatient treatment. Rothia mucilaginosa infection together with dental intervention is a rare case, since most of the reports in the literature concern the patients with decreased im- munity.

Influence of the lung microbiome on antibiotic susceptibility of cystic fibrosis pathogens. Eur Respir Rev 2019; 28: 190041 [https://doi.org/ 10.1183/16000617.0041-2019]. ABSTRACT The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are colonised by a microbial community comprised of pathogenic species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and microorganisms that are typically not associated with worse clinical outcomes (considered as commensals). Antibiotics directed at CF pathogens are often not effective and a discrepancy is observed between activity of these agents in vitro and in the patient. This review describes how interspecies interactions within the lung microbiome might influence the outcome of antibiotic treatment targeted at common CF pathogens. Protective mechanisms by members of the microbiome such as antibiotic degradation (indirect pathogenicity), alterations of the cell wall, production of matrix components decreasing antibiotic penetration, and changes in metabolism are discussed. Interspecies interactions that increase bacterial susceptibility are also addressed. Furthermore, we discuss how experimental conditions, such as culture media, oxygen levels, incorporation of host–pathogen interactions, and microbial community composition may influence the outcome of microbial interaction studies related to antibiotic activity.

  • Impact of Cleaning and Disinfection Procedures on Microbial Ecology and Salmonella Antimicrobial Resistance in a Pig Slaughterho
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Impact of cleaning and disinfection procedures on microbial ecology and Salmonella antimicrobial Received: 26 December 2018 Accepted: 13 August 2019 resistance in a pig slaughterhouse Published: xx xx xxxx Arnaud Bridier 1,2, Patricia Le Grandois1, Marie-Hélène Moreau1, Charleyne Prénom3, Alain Le Roux4, Carole Feurer4 & Christophe Soumet 1,2 To guarantee food safety, a better deciphering of ecology and adaptation strategies of bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella in food environments is crucial. The role of food processing conditions such as cleaning and disinfection procedures on antimicrobial resistance emergence should especially be investigated. In this work, the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella and the microbial ecology of associated surfaces communities were investigated in a pig slaughterhouse before and after cleaning and disinfection procedures. Salmonella were detected in 67% of samples and isolates characterization revealed the presence of 15 PFGE-patterns belonging to fve serotypes: S.4,5,12:i:-, Rissen, Typhimurium, Infantis and Derby. Resistance to ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and/or chloramphenicol was detected depending on serotypes. 16S rRNA-based bacterial diversity analyses showed that Salmonella surface associated communities were highly dominated by the Moraxellaceae family with a clear site-specifc composition suggesting a persistent colonization of the pig slaughterhouse. Cleaning and disinfection procedures did not lead to a modifcation of Salmonella susceptibility to antimicrobials in this short-term study but they tended to signifcantly reduce bacterial diversity and favored some genera such as Rothia and Psychrobacter. Such data participate to the construction of a comprehensive view of Salmonella ecology and antimicrobial resistance emergence in food environments in relation with cleaning and disinfection procedures.
