Kyrpides3 and Malka Halpern1,5* Abstract Chryseobacterium bovis DSM 19482T (Hantsis-Zacharov et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 58:1024-1028, 2008) is a Gram-negative, rod shaped, non-motile, facultative anaerobe, chemoorganotroph bacterium. C. bovis is a member of the Flavobacteriaceae, a family within the phylum Bacteroidetes. It was isolated when psychrotolerant bacterial communities in raw milk and their proteolytic and lipolytic traits were studied. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the draft genome sequence and annotation. The DNA G + C content is 38.19%. The chromosome length is 3,346,045 bp. It encodes 3236 proteins and 105 RNA genes. The C. bovis genome is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes study.

Department of Neurosurgery, Essex Neurosciences Centre, Queens Hospital, Romford, RM7 0AG, UK 2. Department of Microbiology, Queens Hospital, Romford, RM7 0AG, UK Corresponding author: Sebastian M Toescu, Department of Neurosurgery, Essex Neurosciences Centre, Queens Hospital, Romford, RM7 0AG, UK, [email protected] Abstract: A 49 year old female underwent multiple craniotomies for resection of aggressive meningeal tumours (WHO Grade III). She re-presented to hospital with sepsis due to ventriculitis. The craniotomy wound was urgently debrided and isolates of the Gram negative rod Weeksella virosa identified on 16S PCR. This species is most commonly found as a genitourinary commensal and here we report the first documented case of intracranial infection with this species and its successful treatment with a 6-week course of oral -lactam antibiotics. Keywords: Weeksella virosa; central nervous system infection; ventriculitis; anaplastic meningioma 1 Clinical details A 49-year old, right handed female presented with early morning headaches and vomiting. Her past medical history was unremarkable. On examination, the only focal deficit elicited was a dense left homonymous hemianopia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a lesion occupying the trigone and occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle (Figure 1A). No other intracranial lesions were seen, and computed tomography scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis did not show any abnormalities. A complete macroscopic excision of the tumour was effected without problems. The postoperative MRI scan did not show any residual enhancing tumour tissue.

This study characterized the microbiome of the gut of Spodoptera frugiperda larvae fed with nine different host plants; sugar cane (M1), maize (M2), onion (M3), cucumber (R1), tomato (R2), sweet potato (R3), cabbage L1), green amaranth (L2), and celocia (L3) by sequencing the theV3-V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene using Illumina PE250 NovaSeq system. The results revealed that gut bacterial composition varied among larvae samples fed on different host plants. Three alpha diversity indices revealed highly signicant differences on the gut bacterial diversity of S. frugiperda fed with different host plants.. Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) and Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) also revealed signicant variations on the bacterial communities among the various host plants. Five bacteria phyla (Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes) were prevalent across the larvae samples. Firmicutes (44.1%) was the most dominant phylum followed by Proteobacteria (28.5%).

Pero ello está generando problemas sanitarios, económicos y sociales hasta ahora desconocidos, entre los que se encuentra el alarmante aumento de problemas cognitivos y demencia en personas mayores. La deficiencia cognitiva se ha relacionado con procesos inflamatorios, y estos se perfilarían como el punto común de muchas de las enfermedades asociadas al envejecimiento, como el Alzheimer. En estudios recientes se ha puesto de manifiesto la influencia de la microbiota intestinal y oral en el estado de salud general, y más concretamente en el estado inflamatorio y el nivel cognitivo en el contexto de inmunosenescencia. Se determinará la relación entre la composición de la microbiota oral, marcadores de tipo inflamatorio y la deficiencia cognitiva en personas mayores de 65 años con distintos grados de nivel cognitivo. Para ello, se han analizado muestras de saliva de voluntarios de más de 65 años de edad (n=34) con el fin de determinar los perfiles de microbioma mediante técnicas moleculares como PCR cuantitativa dirigida a bacterias, hongos y levaduras, Electroforesis en Gel Gradiente Desnaturalizante-DGGE y secuenciación masiva del gen 16S bacteriano. Se recogieron datos de test cognitivos, así como se analizaron marcadores inflamatorios como la proteina C-reactiva (CRP), myeloperoxidasa (MPO), apoplipoprotiena (APOE) en muestras de sangre y cortisol en muestras de saliva.

Kwong 2Department of Integrative Biology, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA [email protected] Honey bees and bumble bees harbour a small, defined set of gut bacterial associates. Strains matching sequences from 16S rRNA gene surveys of bee gut microbiotas were isolated from two honey bee species from East Asia. These isolates were mesophlic, non-pigmented, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 and C16 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 29–31 mol%. They had ,87 % 16S rRNA gene sequence identity to the closest relatives described. Phylogenetic reconstruction using 20 protein-coding genes showed that these bee-derived strains formed a highly supported monophyletic clade, sister to the clade containing species of the genera Chryseobacterium and Elizabethkingia within the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, we propose placing these strains in a novel genus and species: Apibacter adventoris gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Apibacter adventoris is wkB301T (5NRRL B-65307T5NCIMB 14986T). Bacteria from the phylum Bacteroidetes are often constitu- In July and August of 2014, samples of the Asian honey bee ents of animal microbiotas.
