    Opis:
    The ability to detect food in the environment is an essential function among all living organisms and must have arisen at the beginning of life. The anatomical, morphological and molecular features involved in taste and smell may differ among disparate groups, but the principle of chemoreception is conserved. Here we debate the sense of taste and smell in the feeding behaviour of the unicellular protist, Acanthamoeba.

    Opis:
    The first case of prostatitis in a ten year old mixed breed dog due to Acanthamoeba genotype T4 is reported. The dog was suffering from kidney dysfunction and was admitted for exploration of its organs by echography. All organs were in normal conditions with the exception of the prostate which showed signs of inflammation. An ultrasound-guided puncture was thus performed for further cytological and microbiological study. When the obtained fluid was observed under the microscope, Acanthamoeba trophozoites were detected in a high number. No other pathogens were isolated. Both culture and PCR were positive for Acanthamoeba genus and the isolate was later identified as genotype T4. Unfortunately at this stage, the dog’s owner decided to reject any kind of treatment or therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of prostatitis in a dog due to Acanthamoeba genus.

    Opis:
    The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Acanthamoeba in the domestic water supply in Huntington, West Virginia (U.S.A.) and the factors that may contribute to their presence or absence. One hundred sixty-two one liter tap water samples were collected over eight months. Amoebae in the samples (cysts or trophozoites) were harvested by passively filtering onto 5 μm pore size filters and enriching for amoebae on non-nutrient amoeba saline agar plates seeded with Escherichia coli for cultivation. Thirteen percent of all samples were positive for amoebae and 9.3% were positive for the amoeba of interest, Acanthamoeba. Chlorine levels were determined for samples at the time of collection, yielding a mean level of 1.56 mg l–1 chlorine in the distribution system ca. 8 kilometers from the water treatment plant. Cysts and trophozoites of Acanthamoeba clonal isolates were found to tolerate up to 50 mg l–1 and 4 mg l–1 chlorine respectively. This study showed that Acanthamoeba were present in the domestic water supply in Huntington, WV and although no attempt was made to count cells in liter samples, their frequency of occurrence (9.3%) and failure to be present in all replicates, suggests they were present at background levels of perhaps a few cells per five liters. This is only the second U.S. study to consider amoebae in tap water and is unique since the source water was river water. Acanthamoeba trophozoites and cysts were able to withstand levels of chlorine higher than those typically found in tap water suggesting they may be present in either form in the distribution system. Acanthamoeba are opportunistic pathogens capable of causing eye infections and their presence in tap water is a potential risk factor for susceptible individuals, particularly contact lens wearers who may use tap water to clean lenses and storage cases.

    Acanthamoeba, genotype, full gene sequence, partial gene sequence
    Opis:
    Strains of the genus Acanthamoeba are usually assigned to sequence types or genotypes according to pair-wise similarity values of the nuclear gene for the small subunit of ribosomal RNA. This classification system was established by comparing full or nearly full gene sequences, > 2000 bp. For practical reasons, diagnostic fragments of smaller lengths have been identified and used for rapid and economic identification of large number of strains. While the use of these small fragments in diagnostics applications remains valid when and only if the reference full sequence-type is available, we contest their use to identify and describe new genotypes. We report herein the case of a new genotype described on the basis of solely a small partial sequence and discuss the poor reliability of this fragment to correctly infer phylogenetic relationships, and its limits in the description of new genotypes of Acanthamoeba.

    Opis:
    Free living amoebae (FLA) are amphizoic protozoa that are widely found in various environmental sources. They are known to cause serious human infections, including a fatal encephalitis, a blinding keratitis, and pneumonia. The main aim of the study was detection and molecular identification of Acanthamoeba spp., Naegleria fowleri, Balamuthia mandrillaris, Sappinia pedata, and Vermoamoeba vermiformis (formerly Hartmannella vermiformis) in artificial water bodies in North-Western Poland. We examined 86 water samples collected during 2-year period from 43 water bodies, including outdoor and indoor swimming pools, firefighting reservoirs, fountains, as well as water network. The samples were filtrated using Filta-Max® membrane filters (IDEXX Laboratories, USA) and, in order to select potentially pathogenic, thermophilic strains and to limit the number of PCR examined samples, the thermal tolerance test was carried out. Obtained filtrates were transferred to non-nutrient agar plates with E. coli. The agar plates were incubated at 37°C and then proliferated amoebae were passaged at 42°C. DNA was extracted from the thermophilic trophozoites and then polymerase chain reactions and sequence analysis were performed for molecular identification of FLA. From the 86 collected water samples 57 strains of FLA were able to proliferate at 37°C and 7 of them showed ability to proliferate at 42°C. For molecular identification of Acanthamoeba spp. and V. vermiformis, regions of 18S rDNA were amplified. In order to detect B. mandrillaris DNA, we used mitochondrial 16S rDNA as a marker, and for detection of N. fowleri and S. pedata – ITS regions. Based on molecular analysis, isolates were classified to the genus Acanthamoeba (T4 and T11 genotypes, as well as the new genotypes detected earlier in clinical samples and named T16) and V. vermiformis species. Detected strains were highly similar or identical to pathogenic strains detected earlier in patients. Our results show a wide distribution of potential pathogenic FLA, as Acanthamoeba T4, T11, T16 genotypes, and V. vermiformis species in various artificial water bodies located in North-Western Poland and suggest a potential threat to health of humans in this part of the country.

    Opis:
    The cellular fatty acid composition of Acanthamoeba castellanii, a unicellular bacteriovorous organism, was reinvestigated. Lipids from amoebae grown axenically in proteose peptone-yeast extract-glucose medium were extracted with chloroform–methanol and separated by silicic acid column chromatography into non-polar and polar fractions. The fatty acid composition of the lipids and the double-bond position of the unsaturated acids have been determined by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of their corresponding methyl esters, 2-alkenyl-4,4-dimethyloxazoline (DMOX) derivatives and dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) adducts. Evidence is given that lipids from A. castellanii in addition to the three already identified saturated straight chain fatty acids: tetradecanoic (C14:0), hexadecanoic (C16:0), octadecanoic (C18:0), and six preponderant unsaturated fatty acids: hexadecenoic (C16:1 Δ7), octadecenoic (C18:1 Δ9), octadecadienoic (C18:2 Δ9,12), eicosadienoic (C20:2 Δ11,14), eicosatrienoic (C20:3 Δ8,11,14), and eicosatetraenoic (C20:4 Δ5,8,11,14), contain additionally four very long chain unsaturated fatty acids: octacosenoic (C28:1 Δ21), octacosadienoic (C28:2 Δ5,21), triacontadienoic (30:2 Δ21,24), and triacontatrienoic (C30:3 Δ5,21,24) previously unreported in lipids of A. castellanii. These new long chain fatty acids account for approximately 25% of total fatty acids. To our knowledge, this is the first report of very long chain polyenoic fatty acids present in lipids extracted from A. castellanii cells.
