Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

Methods: Within a two-year interval, positive blood culture materials were assessed with Gram and FISH staining. Previously described and new FISH probes were combined to panels for Gram-positive cocci in grape-like clusters and in chains, as well as for Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. Covered pathogens comprised Staphylococcus spp., such as S. aureus, Micrococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., including E. faecium, E. faecalis, and E. gallinarum, Streptococcus spp., like S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, and S. pneumoniae, Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Bacteroides spp. Results: A total of 955 blood culture materials were assessed with FISH. In 21 (2.2%) instances, FISH reaction led to non-interpretable results. With few exemptions, the tested FISH probes showed acceptable test characteristics even in the routine setting, with a sensitivity ranging from 28.6% (Bacteroides spp.) to 100% (6 probes) and a spec- ificity of >95% in all instances.

  • Molecular Characterization of the Penile Microbiome of Dorper Rams (Ovis Aries)
    Molecular characterization of the penile microbiome of Dorper rams (Ovis aries) by Auberi Marie Madeleine Courchay Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr H. Lambrecths Co-supervisor: Prof J.T. Burger March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Characterizing the bacterial community inhabiting the penile environment of Dorper rams may provide insight into the aetiology of ulcerative balanoposthitis (UB), a venereal disease of unknown aetiology, which occurs predominantly in this breed, and that is of great economic importance to the mutton industry in South Africa. Profiling of the bacteria present in the penile environment of healthy and diseased rams was carried out previously using culture-based methods. These culture-based studies identified Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides large colony (MMMLC) and Trueperella pyogenes as potentially contributing to the incidence of UB. Although cultured-based methods have been described as the gold standard for identification of bacteria, many bacteria are uncultivable or grow slowly and poorly in-vitro. The advent of high throughput next generation sequencing (HT-NGS), a culture-independent bacterial identification approach, has offered high coverage and depths in determining the bacterial penile community.

  • Ignavigranum Ruoffiae, a Rare Pathogen That Caused a Skin Abscess
    CASE REPORT De Paulis et al., JMM Case Reports 2018;5 DOI 10.1099/jmmcr.0.005137 Ignavigranum ruoffiae, a rare pathogen that caused a skin abscess Adriana N. De Paulis,1 Eugenia Bertona,1 Miguel A. Gutierrez, 1 María S. Ramírez,2 Carlos A. Vay3 and Silvia C. Predari1,* Abstract Introduction. Ignavigranum ruoffiae is an extremely rare cause of human infections. Case presentation. An 83-year-old male with a painless, ten-day-old, erythematous skin abscess on his left flank, which had showed a purulent discharge for 48 h, was admitted to the Emergency service. He was treated with cephalexin, disinfection with Codex water and spray of rifampicin. Five days later, surgical drainage of the abscess was proposed due to the torpid evolution of the patient. Samples were taken for culture, and antibiotic treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was established. The patient returned after 10 days showing healing of the abscess. Microbiological studies showed a few Gram-positive cocci present as single cells and short chains that grew after 72 h of incubation at 35 C with CO2 on 5 % sheep blood agar. Colonies presented a strong sauerkraut odour. Initial biochemical test results were negative for catalase, aesculin and bile-aesculin, and positive for pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, leucine aminopeptidase and growth in 6.5 % NaCl broth, which prompted the preliminary identification of Facklamia species or I. ruoffiae. The positive result for arginine deamination and negative result for hippurate hydrolysis, failure to produce acid from mannitol, sucrose, sorbitol or trehalose, plus the distinctive sauerkraut odour identified the organism as I. ruoffiae.

Facklamia ignava NrdB is an unprecedented fusion protein with N-terminal add-ons of a glutaredoxin (Grx) domain followed by an ATP-cone. Grx, which in general is encoded elsewhere in the genome than is the RNR operon, is a known physiological reductant of RNRs. Here we show that the fused Grx domain functions as an efficient reductant of the F. ignava class I RNR via the common dithiol mechanism and interestingly also via a monothiol mechanism, although less efficiently.
