Methylophaga and Hyphomicrobium can be used as target genera in monitoring saline water methanol-utilizing denitrification.
2016
Abstract Which bacterial taxonomic groups can be used in monitoring saline water methanol-utilizing denitrification and whether nitrate is transformed into N2 in the process are unclear. Therefore, methylotrophic bacterial communities of two efficiently functioning (nitrate/nitrite reduction was 63–96 %) tropical and cool seawater reactors at a public aquarium were investigated with clone library analysis and 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA genes. Transformation of nitrate into N2 was confirmed using 15N labeling in incubation of carrier material from the tropical reactor. Combining the data with previous study results, Methylophaga and Hyphomicrobium were determined to be suitable targe…
Host’s genetic background determines the outcome of reciprocal faecal transplantation on life-history traits and microbiome composition
2022
Abstract Background Microbes play a role in their host's fundamental ecological, chemical, and physiological processes. Host life-history traits from defence to growth are therefore determined not only by the abiotic environment and genotype but also by microbiota composition. However, the relative importance and interactive effects of these factors may vary between organisms. Such connections remain particularly elusive in Lepidoptera, which have been argued to lack a permanent microbiome and have microbiota primarily determined by their diet and environment. We tested the microbiome specificity and its influence on life-history traits of two colour genotypes of the wood tiger moth (Arctia…
The concept of genus within the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Parasitiformes): historical review and phylogenetic analyses of the genus Neoseiulus Hugh…
2012
Systematic studies on the family Phytoseiidae were first conducted at the beginning of the 20th century but increased greatly after the Second World War. Various classifications have been proposed based on different characters such as: dorsal, ventral, and leg chaetotaxy; the shape of ventrianal and sternal shields; the shape of the insemination apparatus (spermatheca) and spermatodactylus; the number of teeth on the movable digit of chelicera; and dorsal and ventral adenotaxy. The genus concepts developed over the last five decades can be divided into two main categories or hypotheses. The first, supported mainly by Chant and McMurtry, focuses on dorsal and ventral chaetotaxy, and the gene…
Fēču mikrobiotas raksturojums un to ietekmējošie faktori bērniem
2020
Ievads. Agrīna mikrobiotas attīstība ietekmē gan imūnsistēmas nobriešanu, gan dažādu patoloģiju, kā, piemēram, alerģijas, infekciju un citu slimību attīstību bērnībā, tāpēc nepieciešams identificēt mikrobiotas sastāva atšķirības un to ietekmējošos agrīnos riska faktorus bērniem. Darba mērķis. Pētīt fēču mikrobiotas sastāvu pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem un analizēt to ietekmējošos faktorus. Materiāli un metodes. Šķērsgriezuma pētījums veikts primārajos veselības aprūpes centros. Bērnu (līdz piecu gadu vecumam) vecākiem tika lūgts aizpildīt anketu (demogrāfiskie dati, dzimšanas veids, barošana pirmajā dzīves gadā, antibakteriāla terapija mātei laktācijas laikā, ģimenes dati) un atnest bērna fēču…
Amoksicilīna un klaritromicīna kombinētās terapijas ilgtermiņa ietekme uz zarnu trakta mikrobiomu
2018
Helicobacter pylori ir viens no pirmajiem identificētajiem bakteriālajiem karcinogēniem un Eiropas medicīnas pārstāvju izstrādātās vadlīnijas iekļauj eradikācijas shēmu, kurā ietilpst kombinēta plaša spektra antibiotiku pielietošana. Antibakteriālā terapija, it īpaši plaša spektra antibiotiku pielietošana rada risku īstermiņa un ilgtermiņa zarnu trakta mikrobioma disbiozes attīstībai. Maģistra darba mērķis bija noskaidrot Helicobacter pylori kombinētās antibakteriālās terapijas izraisītās ilgtermiņa izmaiņas zarnu trakta mikrobiomā. Pētījuma gaitā tika veikta 45 pacientu 16s rRNS amplikonu analīze, salīdzinot pirms un pēc terapijas iegūtos fēču paraugus. Ilgtermiņa antibakteriālās terapijas…
16S rRNS gēna vairāku un divu mainīgo reģionu mikrobioma rekonstrukcijas algoritmu iegūto rezultātu salīdzināšana
2022
16S rRNS marķiergēna sekvencēšana ir viena no plašāk izmantotākajām un lētākajām mikrobioma taksonomiskā profila rekonstruēšanas metodēm. Taču, īso sekvencēšanas nolasījumu dēļ, visi gēna mainīgie reģioni nevar tikt nolasīti vienlaicīgi, bet tos nolasot atsevišķi zūd katra atsevišķā reģiona sasaiste ar pārējiem molekulas reģioniem kā arī par katru var tikt iegūts atšķirīgs datu apjoms, kas ierobežo kopējo mikrobioma kopas profilēšanas izšķirtspēju. Šajā darbā tiek aplūkota varbūtiskās rekonstrukcijas algoritma pieeja, kura izmanto vairāku 16S rRNS gēna reģionu noleases datus un maksimālās iespējamības varbūtisko algoritmu mikrobioma taksonomiskā profila rekonstrukcijai. Izmantojot Short MUl…
Molecular Analysis With 16S rRNA PCR/Sanger Sequencing and Molecular Antibiogram Performed on DNA Extracted From Valve Improve Diagnosis and Targeted…
2022
Abstract Background Molecular analysis (MA) on heart valve (HV) improves the microbiologic diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE). The main drawback of MA is the lack of antimicrobial susceptibility information. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort observational study of consecutive adult patients from April 2012 to May 2021 who underwent valve surgery at our hospital. The performance of MA, blood cultures (BC) and valve cultures (VC), and the diagnostic and therapeutic impact of MA were evaluated. Molecular antibiogram results were compared to culture-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Results A total of 137 patients with definite IE and 52 patients with no IE were e…

Gut Microbiota Analysis Results Are Highly Dependent on the 16S rRNA Gene Target Region, Whereas the Impact of DNA Extraction Is Minor
2017
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is currently the method of choice for analyzing gut microbiota composition. As gut microbiota composition is a potential future target for clinical diagnostics, it is of utmost importance to enhance and optimize the NGS analysis procedures. Here, we have analyzed the impact of DNA extraction and selected 16S rDNA primers on the gut microbiota NGS results. Bacterial DNA from frozen stool specimens was extracted with 5 commercially available DNA extraction kits. Special attention was paid to the semiautomated DNA extraction methods that could expedite the analysis procedure, thus being especially suitable for clinical settings. The microbial composition was an…
Identification of a Unique Helicobacter Species by 16S rRNA Gene Analysis in an Abdominal Abscess from a Patient with X-Linked Hypogammaglobulinemia
2000
ABSTRACT A unique Helicobacter species, MZ640285, was isolated from a patient with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia suffering from recurrent abdominal abscesses and was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. In the phylogenetic tree, the isolate fell into a cluster which included Flexispira rappini , Helicobacter bilis , and Helicobacter sp. strain Mainz. Helicobacters are being increasingly recognized as pathogens in immunocompromised hosts. These fastidious bacteria are not easily cultured in the routine diagnostic laboratory, and this is the first report of their identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing performed directly from a clinical specimen.
