Opis:: The human body is composed of 1014 cells, of which only 10% of them belong to the human host itself: the remaining 90% are microorganisms. Commensal microorganisms are necessary for the proper functioning of the human body and covers an area that could potentially become sites of adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms, it thus represents a form of competition for potential pathogens. The coexistence of fungi and bacteria in cases of systemic infections is a significant diagnostic and therapeutic problem, and the human immune system reacts differently, depending on the pathogen. Numerous publications exist concerning the relationship between microorganisms belonging to different ecological groups, the majority of which concern the interaction between macro-organisms and potential pathogens, or the synergistic relationship between parasitic species. However, there is still too little information concerning the role of natural microbiota in maintaining homeostasis and the relationships between particular species inhabiting the human organism.

Opis:: Recent literature data suggests that parasitic and fungal diseases, which pose a threat to both human and animal health, remain a clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Attention is increasingly paid to the role played by natural microbiota in maintaining homeostasis in humans. A particular emphasis is placed on the possibility of manipulating the human microbiota (permanent, transient, pathogenic) and macrobiota (e.g., Trichuris suis) to support the treatment of selected diseases such as Crohn’s disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer. Emphasis is placed on important medical species whose infections not only impair health but can also be life threatening, such as Plasmodium falciparum, Echinococcus multilocularis and Baylisascaris procyonis, which expand into areas which have so far been uninhabited. This article also presents the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic parasitoses imported from the tropics, which spread across large groups of people through human-to-human transmission (Enterobius vermicularis, Sarcoptes scabiei). It also discusses the problem of environmentally-conditioned parasitoses, particularly their etiological factors associated with food contaminated with invasive forms (Trichinella sp., Toxoplasma gondii). The analysis also concerns the presence of developmental forms of geohelminths (Toxocara sp.) and ectoparasites (ticks), which are vectors of serious human diseases (Lyme borreliosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis), in the environment. Mycological topics contains rare cases of mycoses environmentally conditioned (CNS aspergillosis) and transmissions of these pathogens in a population of hospitalized individuals, as well as seeking new methods used to treat mycoses.

Tytuł:: Parasites and fungi as a threat for prenatal and postnatal human development

Opis:: Recent literature data reveals the most common etiological agents of congenital parasitoses to be Toxoplasma gondii, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani and Plasmodium falciparum. An analysis of clinical data indicates that parasitic congenital infections are often asymptomatic, whereas symptomatic newborns usually display nonspecific symptoms, which greatly hinders correct diagnosis. The long-term consequences of prenatal infections are serious clinical problems. This article presents the possible routes of vertical transmissions (mother-to-child) of pathogens including prenatal, perinatal, as well as postnatal routes. It highlights the role of factors involved in protozoa transmission and development of congenital parasitic diseases, such as parasite genotypes, the relationship between the timing of maternal infection and the probability of passage of the parasite through the placental barrier, and the immunological features of pregnant women. Acquired and congenital babesioses in human and experimental animals are presented. It emphasises that the mechanisms by which parasites infect the placenta and cross from mother to fetus are still poorly understood. It also describes the cellular mechanisms of infection by T. gondii, such as tachyzoites crossing biological barriers, the expression of Toll-Like Receptors (TLR) family on trophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts as an immune response to intrauterine infection and cases of congenital and acquired toxoplasmosis, as well as the long-term consequences of congenital invasion with T. gondii, episodes of reactivation of latent toxoplasmosis and T. gondii reinvasions. Mycological topics include a rare case of in utero fungal infection of offspring by a mother with vaginal candidosis, and the fungal contamination of ward facilities and medical equipment as potential sources of exogenous infections of newborn children.

Opis:: Foods rich in sugar are an excellent substrate for the microorganisms that inhabit the initial sections of the gastrointestinal tract, and one of the most commonly available sources of sugar is the sweetened drink. Students represent an interesting sub-population; the large number of classes and associated stress levels promote fixing of unhealthy behaviors, e.g. tendency to consume a lot of sweetened drinks, for example cola-type or energetic drinks. Aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the amount of sugar consumed in beverages and the prevalence of fungi in the oral cavity. The investigated material consisted of oral washings. Participants completed original questionnaire regarding beverages consumed. The relationship between the consumption of sweetened beverages and risk of the presence of fungi in the oral cavity was determined. Fungi were isolated from 68.1% of examined subjects. Seven species of the genus Candida were observed. Higher prevalence of fungi was seen in the oral cavity of subjects who declared consumption of beverages containing sugar. 37.8% of respondents were found to consume with beverages doses of sugar exceeding the recommended daily requirement. Significantly greater prevalence of oral cavity fungi was noted in those exceeding the recommended GDA (76.3%), compared to of those who were not (68.7%). There were positive correlations between occurrence of fungi and consumption of sweetened carbonated drinks or adding sugar to coffee and tea. The addition of sugar to coffee/tea and sugar consumption above the recommended daily amount significantly increases the risk of colonization of the oral cavity by fungi. Students, due to invalid nutritional habits especially excessive consumption of beverages containing large amounts of sugar, belong to a group with a predisposition to the occurrence of fungi in the oral cavity.
