(Service de Bact&riologie,32 Bvd de Za Constitution, Universitk de Lidge, Belgium) The bacterial wall peptidoglycan is an insoluble network composed of: (i) glycan chains of alternating ,8-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid residues, i.e. a chitin-like structure except that every other sugar is substituted by a 3-0-~-lactylgroup and that the average chain length is small (20 to 140 Hexosamine residues, depending upon the bacterial species). Variations so far encountered include the possible presence of 0-acteyl substituents on C-6 of some of the N-acetylmuramic acid residues (StaphyZococcus aureus; some strains of Lactobacillus acidoghi1u.v (unpublished) and of Micrococcus lysodeikticus), and the replacement of the N-acetylmuramic acid residues by another derivative of muramic acid, possibly N-glycolylmuramic acid (Mycobacterium smegmatis) (ii) tetrapeptide subunits which substitute through their N-termini the D-lactic acid groups of the glycan chains. (iii) peptide bridges which cross-link tetrapeptide subunits of adjacent glycan chains (average size of the peptide moieties: 1-5to 10 cross-linked peptide subunits).

Gazi B.S. Umm Al-Qura University, 2011 Committee Chair: Dennis W. Grogan, Ph.D. i Abstract Among the three domains of cellular life, archaea are the least understood, and functional information about archaeal viruses is very limited. For example, it is not known whether many of the viruses that infect hyperthermophilic archaea retain infectivity for long periods of time under the extreme conditions of geothermal environments. To investigate the capability of viruses to Infect under the extreme conditions of geothermal environments. A number of plaque- forming viruses related to Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped viruses (SIRVs), isolated from Yellowstone National Park in a previous study, were evaluated for stability under different stress conditions including high temperature, drying, and extremes of pH. Screening of 34 isolates revealed a 95-fold range of survival with respect to boiling for two hours and 94-fold range with respect to drying for 24 hours. Comparison of 10 viral strains chosen to represent the extremes of this range showed little correlation of stability with respect to different stresses. For example, three viral strains survived boiling but not drying. On the other hand, five strains that survived the drying stress did not survive the boiling temperature, whereas one strain survived both treatments and the last strain showed low survival of both.

  • Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy and the Spectrum of JC Virus-​Related Disease
    REVIEWS Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and the spectrum of JC virus- related disease Irene Cortese 1 ✉ , Daniel S. Reich 2 and Avindra Nath3 Abstract | Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a devastating CNS infection caused by JC virus (JCV), a polyomavirus that commonly establishes persistent, asymptomatic infection in the general population. Emerging evidence that PML can be ameliorated with novel immunotherapeutic approaches calls for reassessment of PML pathophysiology and clinical course. PML results from JCV reactivation in the setting of impaired cellular immunity, and no antiviral therapies are available, so survival depends on reversal of the underlying immunosuppression. Antiretroviral therapies greatly reduce the risk of HIV-related PML, but many modern treatments for cancers, organ transplantation and chronic inflammatory disease cause immunosuppression that can be difficult to reverse. These treatments — most notably natalizumab for multiple sclerosis — have led to a surge of iatrogenic PML. The spectrum of presentations of JCV- related disease has evolved over time and may challenge current diagnostic criteria. Immunotherapeutic interventions, such as use of checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive T cell transfer, have shown promise but caution is needed in the management of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, an exuberant immune response that can contribute to morbidity and death. Many people who survive PML are left with neurological sequelae and some with persistent, low-level viral replication in the CNS. As the number of people who survive PML increases, this lack of viral clearance could create challenges in the subsequent management of some underlying diseases. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is for multiple sclerosis. Taken together, HIV, lymphopro- a rare, debilitating and often fatal disease of the CNS liferative disease and multiple sclerosis account for the caused by JC virus (JCV).

However, early prognostic tools for auditory damage in children are not yet available. In the fetus, CMV infection leads to early olfactory bulb (OB) damage, suggesting that olfaction might represent a valuable prognosis for neurological outcome of this viral infection. Here, we demonstrate that in utero CMV inoculation causes fetal infection and growth retardation in mice of both sexes. It disrupts OB normal development, leading to disproportionate OB cell layers and rapid major olfactory deficits. Olfaction is impaired as early as day 6 after birth in both sexes, long before the emergence of auditory deficits. Olfactometry in males reveals a long-lasting alteration in olfactory perception and discrimination, particularly in binary mixtures of monomolecular odorants.

  • The Role of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection in Demyelination of the Central Nervous System

After primary infection in epithelial cells, HSV-1 spreads retrogradely to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), where it establishes a latent infection in the trigeminal ganglia (TG). The virus can reactivate from the latent state, traveling anterogradely along the axon and replicating in the local surrounding tissue. Occasionally, HSV-1 may spread trans-synaptically from the TG to the brainstem, from where it may disseminate to higher areas of the central nervous system (CNS). It is not completely understood how HSV-1 reaches the CNS, although the most accepted idea is retrograde transport through the trigeminal or olfactory tracts. Once in the CNS, HSV-1 may induce demyelination, either as a direct trigger or as a risk factor, modulating processes such as remyelination, regulation of endogenous retroviruses, or molecular mimicry. In this review, we describe the current knowledge about the involvement of HSV-1 in demyelination, describing the pathways used by this herpesvirus to spread throughout the CNS and discussing the data that suggest its implication in demyelinating processes.

A group of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is linked to antibodies against neuronal cell surface proteins. Because CNS infection with the herpes simplex virus can trigger anti–NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, a similar mechanism for EBV and other neurotropic viruses could be postulated. To investigate for previous viral infections of the CNS, intrathecally produced virus-specific antibody synthesis was determined in patients with AE. Methods Antibody-specific indices (AIs) against EBV and measles, rubella, varicella zoster, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus were determined in 27 patients having AE (anti-NMDAR encephalitis, n = 21, and LGI1 encephalitis, n = 6) and in 2 control groups comprising of 30 patients with MS and 21 patients with noninflammatory CNS diseases (NIND), which were sex and age matched. Results An intrathecal synthesis of antibodies against EBV was found in 5/27 (19%) patients with AE and 2/30 (7%) of the patients with MS.

    Review Article ISSN 2250-0480 VOL 5/ ISSUE 4/OCT 2015 CNS RESPONSE IN A RABID BRAIN: A PATHOLOGICAL VIEW 1PREETY SHARMA, 1 SANJEEV KUMAR,2 V. K. SHARMA* & AJAY KUMAR TEHLAN 1Central Research Institute, Kasauli, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh -173204, India. 2Department of Pharmacology, Govt. College of Pharmacy, Rohru, Distt. Shimla, Himachal Pradesh-171207, India ABSTRACT Animal attacks constitute a huge medical and social problem ending in millions of injuries and thousands of deaths worldwide. Rabies is a dreadful infectious disease that has not been brought under control in many parts of the world even today. Rabies spread by domestic and wild animals particularly by a dog bite, and with the exception of Antarctica, rabies is present on all continents, taking a heavy toll on human lives. Many countries have the status of high-risk areas, but most of the countries around the globe gained the status of rabies free territories. This shows that rabies can be successfully ruled out from the high-risk areas by taking preventing measures and the situation may be better if we continue to untangle the mysterious pathophysiology of this disease. Understanding rabies invasion and its pathophysiology will further enhance the chances of improvement rabies related complications and mortality. Rabies is a prototypic infection of the nervous system in which the virus selectively infects neurons, using retrograde axonal transport to traffic in the nervous system. Neuroinvasiveness, neurotropism and neurovirulence are the major defining characteristics of this virus. The speed of virus uptake, the ability of the virus to spread efficiently from cell-to-cell and the rate of virus replication are the major factors that determine the pathogenicity of rabies virus.
