  • Characterization of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Species of the Rumen Microbiota
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13118-0 OPEN Characterization of antibiotic resistance genes in the species of the rumen microbiota Yasmin Neves Vieira Sabino1, Mateus Ferreira Santana1, Linda Boniface Oyama2, Fernanda Godoy Santos2, Ana Júlia Silva Moreira1, Sharon Ann Huws2* & Hilário Cuquetto Mantovani 1* Infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria represent a therapeutic challenge both in clinical settings and in livestock production, but the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes 1234567890():,; among the species of bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants is not well characterized. Here, we investigate the resistome of 435 ruminal microbial genomes in silico and confirm representative phenotypes in vitro. We find a high abundance of genes encoding tetracycline resistance and evidence that the tet(W) gene is under positive selective pres- sure. Our findings reveal that tet(W) is located in a novel integrative and conjugative element in several ruminal bacterial genomes. Analyses of rumen microbial metatranscriptomes confirm the expression of the most abundant antibiotic resistance genes. Our data provide insight into antibiotic resistange gene profiles of the main species of ruminal bacteria and reveal the potential role of mobile genetic elements in shaping the resistome of the rumen microbiome, with implications for human and animal health. 1 Departamento de Microbiologia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. 2 Institute for Global Food Security, School of Biological

Honey bees and bumble bees appear to have a simple intestinal bacterial fauna that includes acidophilic bacteria. Here, we explore the hypothesis that sweat bees can acquire acidophilic bacteria from the environment. To quantify bacterial communities associated with two species of North American and one species of Neotropical sweat bees, we conducted 16S rDNA amplicon 454 pyrosequencing of bacteria associated with the bees, their brood cells and their nests. Lactobacillus spp. were the most abundant bacteria in many, but not all, of the samples. To determine whether bee-associated lactobacilli can also be found in the environment, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Lactobacillus. Previously described groups that associate with Bombus and Apis appeared relatively specific to these genera. Close relatives of several bacteria that have been isolated from flowers, however, were isolated from bees. Additionally, all three sweat bee species associated with lactobacilli related to flower-associated lactobacilli.

O reaproveitamento energético da vinhaça mostra-se como uma alternativa interessante para produção de biocombustíveis ou sub- produtos. Este trabalho avaliou o potencial da vinhaça como fonte de substrato e nutrientes para produção de álcoois e ácidos orgânicos voláteis (AOV) por meio fermentação em batelada utilizando consórcio anaeróbio (lodo de bovinocultura) pré-tratados com choque térmico (TT) e choque ácido- térmico (AT). Foram utilizados dois meios diferentes, de sacarose (S) e de vinhaça (V), sendo a sacarose a principal fonte de carbono. A vinhaça provou ser uma excelente fonte de nutrientes para os microrganismos envolvidos na fermentação butírica, uma vez que a adição de vinhaça melhora significativamente a produção de ácido butírico em comparação com meio de cultura sintético.

  • Evaluation of FISH for Blood Cultures Under Diagnostic Real-Life Conditions
    Original Research Paper Evaluation of FISH for Blood Cultures under Diagnostic Real-Life Conditions Annalena Reitz1, Sven Poppert2,3, Melanie Rieker4 and Hagen Frickmann5,6* 1University Hospital of the Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main, Germany 2Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel, Switzerland 3Faculty of Medicine, University Basel, Basel, Switzerland 4MVZ Humangenetik Ulm, Ulm, Germany 5Department of Microbiology and Hospital Hygiene, Bundeswehr Hospital Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 6Institute for Medical Microbiology, Virology and Hygiene, University Hospital Rostock, Rostock, Germany Received: 04 September 2018; accepted: 18 September 2018 Background: The study assessed a spectrum of previously published in-house fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) probes in a combined approach regarding their diagnostic performance with incubated blood culture materials. 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.
