    EXPLIFY RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS BY NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING Limitations Negative results do not rule out viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. Targeted, PCR-based tests are generally more sensitive and are preferred when specific pathogens are suspected, especially for DNA viruses (Adenovirus, CMV, HHV6, HSV, and VZV), mycobacteria, and fungi. The analytical sensitivity of this test depends on the cellularity of the sample and the concentration of all microbes present. Analytical sensitivity is assessed using Internal Controls that are added to each sample. Sequencing data for Internal Controls is quantified. Samples with Internal Control values below the validated minimum may have reduced analytical sensitivity or contain inhibitors and are reported as ‘Reduced Analytical Sensitivity’. Additional respiratory pathogens to those reported cannot be excluded in samples with ‘Reduced Analytical Sensitivity’. Due to the complexity of next generation sequencing methodologies, there may be a risk of false-positive results. Contamination with organisms from the upper respiratory tract during specimen collection can also occur. The detection of viral, bacterial, and fungal nucleic acid does not imply organisms causing invasive infection. Results from this test need to be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical history, results of other laboratory tests, epidemiologic information, and other available data. Confirmation of positive results by an alternate method may be indicated in select cases. Validated Organisms BACTERIA Achromobacter

    Interactions between Arcobacter butzleri and free-living protozoa in the context of sewage & wastewater treatment by Mariem Joan Wasan Oloroso A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Health Sciences School of Public Health University of Alberta © Mariem Joan Wasan Oloroso, 2021 Abstract Water reuse is increasingly becoming implemented as a sustainable water management strategy in areas around the world facing freshwater shortages and nutrient discharge limits. However, there are a host of biological hazards that must be assessed prior to and following the introduction of water reuse schemes. Members of the genus Arcobacter are close relatives to the well-known foodborne campylobacter pathogens and are increasingly being recognized as emerging human pathogens of concern. Arcobacters are prevalent in numerous water environments due to their ability to survive in a wide range of conditions. They are particularly abundant in raw sewage and are able to survive wastewater treatment and disinfection processes, which marks this genus as a potential pathogen of concern for water quality. Because the low levels of Arcobacter excreted by humans do not correlate with the high levels of Arcobacter spp. present in raw sewage, it was hypothesised that other microorganisms in sewage may amplify the growth of Arcobacter species. There is evidence that Arcobacter spp. survive both within and on the surface of free-living protozoa (FLP). As such, this thesis investigated the idea that Arcobacter spp. may be growing within free-living protozoa also prevalent in raw sewage and providing them with protection during treatment and disinfection processes.

Premise plumbing is constructed of a variety of materials, creating complex environments that vary chemically, microbiologically, spatially, and temporally in a manner likely to influence survival and growth of OPs. Here we systematically review the literature to critically examine the varied effects of common metallic (copper, iron) and plastic (PVC, cross-linked polyethylene (PEX)) pipe materials on factors influencing OP growth in drinking water, including nutrient availability, disinfectant levels, and the composition of the broader microbiome. Plastic pipes can leach organic carbon, but demonstrate a lower disinfectant demand and fewer water chemistry interactions.

  • EVALUATION of the P45 MOBILE INTEGRATIVE ELEMENT and ITS ROLE IN
    EVALUATION OF THE p45 MOBILE INTEGRATIVE ELEMENT AND ITS ROLE IN Legionella pneumophila VIRULENCE A Dissertation by LANETTE M. CHRISTENSEN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Jeffrey D. Cirillo Committee Members, James Samuel Jon Skare Farida Sohrabji Head of Program, Warren Zimmer May 2018 Major Subject: Medical Sciences Copyright 2018 Lanette Christensen ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila are aqueous environmental bacilli that live within protozoal species and cause a potentially fatal form of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease. Not all L. pneumophila strains have the same capacity to cause disease in humans. The majority of strains that cause clinically relevant Legionnaires’ disease harbor the p45 mobile integrative genomic element. Contribution of the p45 element to L. pneumophila virulence and ability to withstand environmental stress were addressed in this study. The L. pneumophila Philadelphia-1 (Phil-1) mobile integrative element, p45, was transferred into the attenuated strain Lp01 via conjugation, designating p45 an integrative conjugative element (ICE). The resulting trans-conjugate, Lp01+p45, was compared with strains Phil-1 and Lp01 to assess p45 in virulence using a guinea pig model infected via aerosol. The p45 element partially recovered the loss of virulence in Lp01 compared to that of Phil-1 evident in morbidity, mortality, and bacterial burden in the lungs at the time of death. This phenotype was accompanied by enhanced expression of type II interferon in the lungs and spleens 48 hours after infection, independent of bacterial burden.

  • Water Resource Availability in the Kankakee River Basin, Indiana: Division of Water, Water Resources, Assessment 90-3
    WATER RESOURCE AVAILABILITY IN THE KANKAKEE RIVER BASIN, DIVISION OF WATER published 1990 INDIANA - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Figure 1. Location of the Kankakee River Basin In response to legislative directives contained in the 1983 Water Resource Management Act, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water published a report describing the availability, distribution, quality, and use of surface water and ground water in the Kankakee River Basin, Indiana.* The third in a series of 12 regional watershed assess- ments, the report provides hydrologic data and related information for persons interested in the basin’s water resource. The following is a summary of that report. The full report can be obtained from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water. For ordering information, please see the instructions printed at the end of this summary. The Kankakee River Basin drains 2989 sq. mi. (square miles) in northwest Indiana, 2169 sq. mi. in northeast Illinois, and about 7 sq. mi. in southwest Lower Michigan (figure 1). The Kankakee River heads near South Bend, Indiana, then flows westward into Illinois, where it joins with the Des Plaines River to form the Illinois River. The area of Lake County which originally drained to Lake Michigan but now drains by means of artificial diversion to the Illinois River is not considered to be part of the Kankakee River Basin study region. Although the Kankakee River basin includes portions of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, the discussion below will focus on the Indiana portion of the basin. SOCIOECONOMIC SETTING Thirteen Indiana counties lie completely or partially within the Kankakee River Basin, but nine counties consti- tute more than 90 percent of the basin’s land area in Indiana.

The booklet is packed with useful information on places to fish and rules to follow when fishing in Illinois. In the pages that follow, those who enjoy fishing will find an updated summary of statewide fishing regulations in Illinois, as well as details on site-specific regulations that are organized by the body of water or water area at which those regulations apply. Once again for 2017, Illinois Free Fishing Days will be during the Father’s Day weekend in June – with the dates of Friday, June 16 through Monday, June 19. Free Fishing Days provide an opportunity for novice anglers and families to go fishing even if they have not yet purchased a fishing license. While we update the Illinois Fishing Information guide each year, some site-specific regulations may be changed in emergency situations through the administrative rule process. In those cases, the emergency changes to regulations will be posted at the location where the rules apply. We also post changes in rules online at www.ifishillinois.org. Illinois anglers are guardians of our state’s aquatic resources. The money you spend on fishing licenses and equipment helps fund our fishery programs, and helps ensure the future of fishing in Illinois.

  • The Role of Lipids in Legionella-Host Interaction
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Role of Lipids in Legionella-Host Interaction Bozena Kowalczyk, Elzbieta Chmiel and Marta Palusinska-Szysz * Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Akademicka St. 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] (B.K.); [email protected] (E.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Legionella are Gram-stain-negative rods associated with water environments: either nat- ural or man-made systems. The inhalation of aerosols containing Legionella bacteria leads to the development of a severe pneumonia termed Legionnaires’ disease. To establish an infection, these bacteria adapt to growth in the hostile environment of the host through the unusual structures of macromolecules that build the cell surface. The outer membrane of the cell envelope is a lipid bilayer with an asymmetric composition mostly of phospholipids in the inner leaflet and lipopolysaccha- rides (LPS) in the outer leaflet. The major membrane-forming phospholipid of Legionella spp. is phosphatidylcholine (PC)—a typical eukaryotic glycerophospholipid. PC synthesis in Legionella cells occurs via two independent pathways: the N-methylation (Pmt) pathway and the Pcs pathway. The utilisation of exogenous choline by Legionella spp. leads to changes in the composition of lipids and proteins, which influences the physicochemical properties of the cell surface. This phenotypic plastic- ity of the Legionella cell envelope determines the mode of interaction with the macrophages, which results in a decrease in the production of proinflammatory cytokines and modulates the interaction with antimicrobial peptides and proteins. The surface-exposed O-chain of Legionella pneumophila sg1 LPS consisting of a homopolymer of 5-acetamidino-7-acetamido-8-O-acetyl-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L- glycero-D-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid is probably the first component in contact with the host cell that anchors the bacteria in the host membrane.

  • Legionella Feeleii: Pneumonia Or Pontiac Fever? Bacterial Virulence Traits and Host Immune Response
    Medical Microbiology and Immunology (2019) 208:25–32 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00430-018-0571-0 REVIEW Legionella feeleii: pneumonia or Pontiac fever? Bacterial virulence traits and host immune response Changle Wang1 · Xia Chuai1 · Mei Liang2 Received: 17 July 2018 / Accepted: 27 October 2018 / Published online: 1 November 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Gram-negative bacterium Legionella is able to proliferate intracellularly in mammalian host cells and amoeba, which became known in 1976 since they caused a large outbreak of pneumonia. It had been reported that different strains of Legionella pneumophila, Legionella micdadei, Legionella longbeachae, and Legionella feeleii caused human respiratory diseases, which were known as Pontiac fever or Legionnaires’ disease. However, the differences of the virulence traits among the strains of the single species and the pathogenesis of the two diseases that were due to the bacterial virulence factors had not been well elucidated. L. feeleii is an important pathogenic organism in Legionellae, which attracted attention due to cause an outbreak of Pontiac fever in 1981 in Canada. In published researches, it has been found that L. feeleii serogroup 2 (ATCC 35849, LfLD) possess mono-polar flagellum, and L. feeleii serogroup 1 (ATCC 35072, WRLf) could secrete some exopolysaccharide (EPS) materials to the surrounding. Although the virulence of the L. feeleii strain was evidenced that could be promoted, the EPS might be dispensable for the bacteria that caused Pontiac fever. Based on the current knowledge, we focused on bacterial infection in human and murine host cells, intracellular growth, cytopathogenicity, stimulatory capacity of cytokines secre- tion, and pathogenic effects of the EPS ofL.
