  • Achromobacter Buckle Infection Diagnosed by a 16S Rdna Clone
    Hotta et al. BMC Ophthalmology 2014, 14:142 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2415/14/142 CASE REPORT Open Access Achromobacter buckle infection diagnosed by a 16S rDNA clone library analysis: a case report Fumika Hotta1†, Hiroshi Eguchi1*, Takeshi Naito1†, Yoshinori Mitamura1†, Kohei Kusujima2† and Tomomi Kuwahara3† Abstract Background: In clinical settings, bacterial infections are usually diagnosed by isolation of colonies after laboratory cultivation followed by species identification with biochemical tests. However, biochemical tests result in misidentification due to similar phenotypes of closely related species. In such cases, 16S rDNA sequence analysis is useful. Herein, we report the first case of an Achromobacter-associated buckle infection that was diagnosed by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. This report highlights the significance of Achromobacter spp. in device-related ophthalmic infections. Case presentation: A 56-year-old woman, who had received buckling surgery using a silicone solid tire for retinal detachment eighteen years prior to this study, presented purulent eye discharge and conjunctival hyperemia in her right eye. Buckle infection was suspected and the buckle material was removed. Isolates from cultures of preoperative discharge and from deposits on the operatively removed buckle material were initially identified as Alcaligenes and Corynebacterium species. However, sequence analysis of a 16S rDNA clone library using the DNA extracted from the deposits on the buckle material demonstrated that all of the 16S rDNA sequences most closely matched those of Achromobacter spp. We concluded that the initial misdiagnosis of this case as an Alcaligenes buckle infection was due to the unreliability of the biochemical test in discriminating Achromobacter and Alcaligenes species due to their close taxonomic positions and similar phenotypes.

However, the high re-discovery rate of antinematode compounds from terrestrial environments necessitates a new repository for future drug research. Marine epiphytic bacteria are hypothesised to produce nematicidal compounds as a defence against bacterivorous predators, thus representing a promising, yet underexplored source for antinematode drug discovery. The marine epiphytic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tunicata is known to produce a number of bioactive compounds. Screening genomic libraries of P. tunicata against the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans identified a clone (HG8) showing fast-killing activity. However, the molecular, chemical and biological properties of HG8 remain undetermined. A novel Nematode killing protein-1 (Nkp-1) encoded by an uncharacterised gene of HG8 annotated as hp1 was successfully discovered through this project. The Nkp-1 toxicity appears to be nematode-specific, with the protein being highly toxic to nematode larvae but having no impact on nematode eggs.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Hand Surgery, Burn Center, University of Witten/Herdecke, Cologne-Merheim Medical Center (CMMC), Cologne, Germany SUMMARY. Gram-negative infections predominate in burn surgery. Until recently, Achromobacter species were described as sepsis-caus - ing bacteria in immunocompromised patients only. Severe infections associated with Achromobacter species in burn patients have been rarely reported. We retrospectively analyzed all burn patients in our database, who were treated at the Intensive Care Burn Unit (ICBU) of the Cologne Merheim Burn Centre from January 2006 to December 2015, focusing on contamination and infection by Achromobacter species. We identified 20 patients with burns contaminated by Achromobacter species within the 10-year study period. Four of these patients showed signs of infection concomitant with detection of Achromobacter species. Despite receiving complex antibiotic therapy based on antibiogram and resistogram typing, 3 of these patients, who had extensive burns, developed severe sepsis. Two patients ultimately died of multiple organ failure. In 1 case, Achromobacter xylosoxidans was the only isolate detected from the swabs and blood samples taken during the last stage of sepsis. Achromobacter xylosoxidans contamination of wounds of severely burned immunocompromised patients can lead to systemic lethal infection. Close monitoring of burn wounds for contamination by Achromobacter xylosoxidans is essential, and appropriate therapy must be administered as soon as possible.

Nowadays the name commonly accepted for correct taxonomy is Achromobacter xylosoxidans 1. It has been isolated from several aqueous environmental sources, some of which have been associated with nosocomial outbreaks of infections 2. Infections caused by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans have been documented in patients with a variety of indwelling devices, but it has been shown as a causing disease bacteria in other cases without risk factors (previous surgery or catheter carrier). It could be also encountered in all kind of organs and body systems, so this microorganism is acquiring major importance in recent years.

Accepted: April 4, 2017 Data deposition: This project has been deposited at NCBI under the accession PRJNA343957. Abstract Over the past decade, there has been a rising interest in Achromobacter sp., an emerging opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial and cystic fibrosis lung infections. Species of this genus are ubiquitous in the environment, can outcompete resident microbiota, and are resistant to commonly used disinfectants as well as antibiotics. Nevertheless, the Achromobacter genus suf- fers from difficulties in diagnosis, unresolved taxonomy and limited understanding of how it adapts to the cystic fibrosis lung, not to mention other host environments. The goals of this first genus-wide comparative genomics study were to clarify the taxonomy of this genus and identify genomic features associated with pathogenicity and host adaptation. This was done with a widely applicable approach based on pan-genome analysis. First, using all publicly available genomes, a combination of phylogenetic analysis based on 1,780 conserved genes with average nucleotide identity and accessory genome composition allowed the identi- fication of a largely clinical lineage composed of Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Achromobacter insuavis, Achromobacter dolens,and Achromobacter ruhlandii.

AcceptedMarch 25, 1998 Abstract: Based on the results of GC content determination and 16S rRNA sequence analysis among the type strains of Achromobacter xylosoxidans, 4 Alcaligenes species, 5 Bordetella species, and 12 species of 4 other genera, the separation of genus Achromobacter Yabuuchi and Yano 1981, with the type species Achro- mobacter xylosoxidans, is confirmed. Alcaligenes ruhlandii (Packer and Vishniac) Aragno and Schlegel 1992 is a distinct species and not a senior synonym of Achromobacter xylosoxidans. Alcaligenes ruhlandii and Alcaligenes piechaudii Kiredjian et al 1986 are transferred to genus Achromobacter. Thus 2 new combi- nations, Achromobacter ruhlandii (Packer and Vishniac) and Achromobacter piechaudii (Kiredjian et al) are proposed; their type strains are ATCC 15749 and ATCC 43552, respectively. Alcaligenes denitrificans Riiger and Tan 1983 is also transferred to genus Achromobacter and ranked down to the subspecies of Achro- mobacter xylosoxidans. Thus a new subspecies name, Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans (Riiger and Tan) is proposed. The type strain of the subspecies is ATCC 15173. This proposal automatically creates type subspecies, Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp.

    Biocontrol Science, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 1, 23－31 Original Development of a PCR-Based Method for Monitoring the Status of Alcaligenes Species in the Agricultural Environment MIYO NAKANO1, MASUMI NIWA2, AND NORIHIRO NISHIMURA1＊ 1 Department of Translational Medical Science and Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology, Pharmacogenomics, and Pharmacoinformatics, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University, 2-174 Edobashi, Tsu, Mie 514-8507, Japan 2 DESIGNER FOODS. Co., Ltd. NALIC207, Chikusa 2-22-8, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 464-0858, Japan Received 1 April, 2013/Accepted 14 September, 2013 To analyze the status of the genus Alcaligenes in the agricultural environment, we developed a PCR method for detection of these species from vegetables and farming soil. The selected PCR primers amplified a 107-bp fragment of the 16S rRNA gene in a specific PCR assay with a detection limit of 1.06 pg of pure culture DNA, corresponding to DNA extracted from approxi- mately 23 cells of Alcaligenes faecalis. Meanwhile, PCR primers generated a detectable amount of the amplicon from 2.2×102 CFU/ml cell suspensions from the soil. Analysis of vegetable phyl- loepiphytic and farming soil microbes showed that bacterial species belonging to the genus Alcaligenes were present in the range from 0.9×100 CFU per gram（ or cm2）（ Japanese radish: Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus） to more than 1.1×104 CFU/g（ broccoli flowers: Brassica oleracea var. italic）, while 2.4×102 to 4.4×103 CFU/g were detected from all soil samples. These results indicated that Alcaligenes species are present in the phytosphere at levels 10–1000 times lower than those in soil.
