Opis:
In this article, we have demonstrated the feasibility of generating an active form of recombinant blood coagulation factor VIII using an E. coli bacterial expression system as a potential treatment for hemophilia type A. Factor VIII (FVIII), an essential blood coagulation protein, is a key component of the fluid phase blood coagulation system. So far, all available recombinant FVIII formulations have been produced using eukaryotic expression systems. Mammalian cells can produce catalytically active proteins with all the necessary posttranslational modifications. However, cultivating such cells is time-consuming and highly expensive, and the amount of the obtained product is usually low. In contrast to eukaryotic cells, bacterial culture is inexpensive and allows the acquisition of large quantities of recombinant proteins in a short time. With this study, we aimed to obtain recombinant blood coagulation factor VIII using the E. coli bacterial expression system, a method not previously explored for this purpose. Our research encompasses the synthesis of blood coagulation factor VIII and its expression in a prokaryotic system. To achieve this, we constructed a prokaryotic expression vector containing a synthetic factor VIII gene, which was then used for the transformation of an E. coli bacterial strain. The protein expression was confirmed by mass spectrometry, and we assessed the stability of the gene construct while determining the optimal growth conditions. The production of blood coagulation factor VIII by the E. coli bacterial strain was carried out on a quarter-technical scale. We established the conditions for isolation, denaturation, and renaturation of the protein, and subsequently confirmed the activity of FVIII.

Opis:
Rift Valley fever (RVF) disease is an emerging viral zoonotic disease caused by Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). RVF disease is seemingly becoming more severe in endemic populations and in areas of new outbreak. RVF disease is listed by WHO as requiring urgent research and development attention. There is no therapeutics or licensed vaccine for human use in the case of an eventual outbreak. There is a need to clone RVFV genes in cloning vectors which may be useful to produce antigens in plant cells or may be tested directly as DNA vaccines. A synthesized Rift Valley fever virus fusion gene was cloned in a bean yellow dwarf virus derived replicon vector; PBYR2e3K2Mc-GFP by removing and replacing the GFP gene. The cloned PBYR2e3K2Mc-RVFV fusion gene was confirmed by PCR, restriction digestion and DNA sequencing. This cloned RVFV fusion gene in plant virus vector can be used for subsequent protein expression in plants cells or used directly tested as DNA vaccines in future studies.

Opis:
The present study was investigated to determine the competitive interaction between Gram positive (B. subtilis) and Gram negative (P. aeruginosa and E. coli) bacteria in vitro. Bacteria of interest were isolated from soil sample and were identified through morphological and biochemical tests. Bacterial cultures were grown alone and as co- culture in test tubes containing sterile broth. Bacterial growth and their growth inhibition in co- culture tubes were analyzed till 96 h through spectrophotometric assay and colony forming unit (CFU) assay. Spectrophotometric analysis and CFU/mL assay showed that the effect of B. subtilis on P. aeruginosa and E. coli in co- culture tubes was growth inhibitory. This is accompanied by the reduction in absorbance value and CFU/mL of the co-culture tubes. The bactericidal activity of B. subtilis was measured on P. aeruginosa and E. coli using agar well diffusion method. B. subtilis showed zone of inhibition of 8 mm and 6 mm against P. aeruginosa and E. coli, respectively. The antagonistic activity test of B. subtilis favoured the spectrophotometric and colony forming assay results. These results suggest that B. subtilis develop adaptational pathways by extracellular signaling molecules and antibacterial factors in order to compete with bacterial neighbors.

Opis:
We apply multitype, continuous time, Markov branching models to study pathogenicity in E. coli, a bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia. First, we examine briefly, the properties of multitype branching processes and we also survey some fundamental limit theorems regarding the behavior of such models under various conditions. These theorems are then applied to discrete, state dependent models, in order to analyze pathogenicity in a published clinical data set consisting of 251 strains of E. coli. We use well established methods, incorporating maximum likelihood techniques, to estimate speciation rates as well as the rates of transition between different states of the models. From the analysis, we not only derive new results, but we also verify some preexisting notions about virulent behavior in bacterial strains.

Opis:
In Sri Lanka, among 2588 Salmonella positive cases, the highest incidences were recorded from Jaffna peninsula during 2005 to 2013. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the microbiological and chemical contamination status of groundwater (40 well water) sources in Jaffna during November 2016. The total coliform, E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. along with some physico-chemical parameters of groundwater were studied. The results revealed that entire peninsula was contaminated with total coliform and E. coli bacteria and the parameters recorded were not within the WHO and SLS (Sri Lanka Standards) drinking water quality standards. 38% of sampling locations were positive for Salmonella spp. and among them six sampling locations were being used for drinking purposes. The results of the study correlates with the statistics of typhoid cases recorded in Jaffna. Results of the study also revealed that around 80% of wells were not within the values specified in guidelines of the SLS for drinking water quality on electrical conductivity. Further, 15% of wells recorded greater than 10 mg∙dm–3 nitrate, which is still below the SLS drinking water standards (45 mg∙dm–3). According to the water quality data, PCA analysis showed that Jaffna town, Nallur, Tellippalai and Kopay DS divisions has similar characteristics for water quality.
Spośród 2588 przypadków zatrucia salmonellą zanotowanych na Sri Lance największą liczbę zachorowań stwierdzono na półwyspie Jaffna w latach 2005–2013. Dlatego prezentowane badania miały na celu identyfikację chemicznego i mikrobiologicznego zanieczyszczenia wód gruntowych z 40 studni w listopadzie 2016 r. Analizowano całkowitą liczbę bakterii z grupy coli, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp. oraz wybrane parametry fizyczne i chemiczne wód gruntowych. Wyniki ujawniły, że cały półwysep jest skażony bakteriami z grupy coli i bakterią Escherichia coli, a analizowane parametry nie spełniają standardów WHO i standardów Sri Lanki co do jakości wody. W 38% badanych stanowisk stwierdzono obecność Salmonella spp., przy czym sześć z nich wykorzystywano jako źródła wody pitnej. Wyniki badań korelowały z rejestrowanymi przypadkami duru brzusznego na półwyspie. Stwierdzono także, że 80% studni nie spełniało wymogów stawianych wodzie pitnej przez normy Sri Lanki w odniesieniu do przewodnictwa elektrolitycznego. Ponadto stężenie azotanów w 15% studni było większe niż 10 mg∙dm–3, ale nie przekraczało granicznej wartości 45 mg∙dm–3 wyznaczonej przez normy dla wody pitnej. Analiza PCA wykazała, że miasto Jaffna oraz gminy Nallur, Tellippalai i Kopay mają wody o podobnych właściwościach.

Abstract: Urinary tract infections caused by wide range of pathogens including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as fungi are a severe public health problem. The predominant causative agent of both uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections is Escherichia coli. In an era of increasing bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in community and hospital acquired infections, the re-evaluation of older generations of antimicrobial agents, such as nitrofuran derivatives, seems to be a reasonable approach. The aim of the study was to evaluate furazidin activity against common uropathogens in comparison to nitrofurantoin and other selected antimicrobial agents, routinely used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Furazidin exhibited lower MICs than nitrofurantoin when tested against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria including clinical MDR E. coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The MICs for furazidin ranged from 4 to 64 mg/L for Enterobacteriaceae strains, from 2 to 4 mg/L for gram-positive cocci, and 0.5 mg/L for anaerobic bacteria. The MICs for nitrofurantoin ranged from 16 to 64 mg/L for Enterobacteriaceae strains, from 8 to 64 mg/L for gram-positive cocci, and 4 mg/L for anaerobic bacteria. In addition, both nitrofurans displayed better activity against the tested bacterial strains than ciprofloxacin, fosfomycin, trimethoprim and co-trimoxazole. Nitrofuran derivatives displayed higher antimicrobial activity than other antimicrobial agents regardless of bacteria species or resistance mechanism.

Opis:
Bacteria are capable of invading and infecting humans, leading to disease and sometimes death. Different body tissues, organs and systems are vulnerable to different organisms. This study was aimed to isolate and identify the bacteria causing Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in different age groups and also screened for ESβL production. The mid-stream urine samples showing symptoms of urinary tract infections were collected in a wide container from different hospitals and diagnostic centres of Kalaburagi city. The isolation of uropathogen was done by semi-quantitative method of inoculating the samples on the selective and differential media such as Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) and MacConkey (MAC) agar media respectively. The isolated pathogen was identified by conventional methods like cultural, morphological and biochemical tests. The antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique and ESβL production by double disk-diffusion test (DDDT) as per CLSI guidelines (2013). Out of 550 samples screened, a total of 288 bacteria were isolated of those half of them (146) were E. coli isolates and all were found to be multidrug resistant and half of them (50%) were of ESβL producers. All ESβL producing E. coli isolates were resistant to ceftazidime and exhibited higher level of resistance to Cephalothin, Erythromycin, Cotrimoxazole and Aztreonam. As ESβL producing organisms limits the available treatment options, so, the timely administration of sensitive antibiotic and avoiding antibiotic abuse will help in curing the disease without going for the costly drugs such as Carbapenems. Our study revealed that nitrofurantoin, ofloxacin and cefoxitin may be considered as drug of choice for the treatment of UTI patients. The ESβL production in uropathogens should be continuously monitored in the clinics and hospitals as to avoid the emergence of more multi drug resistance strains.

Opis:
Wstęp: Zakażenia szpitalne są jednym z poważniejszych zagrożeń zdrowia pacjenta podczas hospitalizacji. Wśród nich zakażenia szpitalne HAI (Healthcare – Associated Infections). Najczęściej występującą formą są szpitalne zakażenia układu moczowego (UTI – Urinary Tract Infection). Cel: W celu zbadania częstości występowania szpitalnych zakażeń układu moczowego poddano analizie strukturę zakażeń szpitalnych występujących u pacjentów hospitalizowanych w Oddziale Chorób Wewnętrznych i Nefrologii Szpitala Wojewódzkiego im. Św. Łukasza w Tarnowie. Materiał i metody: Analizowano dane dotyczące 13 965 pacjentów hospitalizowanych w Oddziale Chorób Wewnętrznych i Nefrologii w latach od 2006 do 2015. W analizie materiału wykorzystano standardowe metody epidemiologiczne i ujednolicone definicje zakażeń szpitalnych wydane przez ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control) oraz CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Wyniki: Wykryto 237 szpitalnych UTI co stanowiło 33% wszystkich zakażeń szpitalnych wykrytych w badanym oddziale. Zachorowalność wynosiła 1,7%, w tym: 1,5% dla potwierdzonych mikrobiologicznie zakażeń (UTI-A: Microbiologically Confirmed Symptomatic UTI) i 0,2% bez potwierdzenia mikrobiologicznego (UTI-B: Not Microbiologically Confirmed Symptomatic UTI). Współczynnik gęstości zachorowań na 1000 osobodni pobytu (ID – density incidence /1000 osobodni pobytu) wynosił 0,2/1000. Rozpoznano 168 przypadków zakażeń UTI związanych z cewnikiem moczowym i 69 przypadków bez cewnika moczowego. Współczynnik gęstości zachorowań dla UTI z cewnikiem moczowym wynosił 3,3 na 1000 osobodni z cewnikiem moczowym. Wśród czynników etiologicznych, które izolowano z materiałów pochodzących od pacjentów z zakażeniem układu moczowego (UTI) dominowały: Escherichia coli 63 (29%), Enterococcus spp. 37 (16%), Klebsiella spp. 23 (11%). Wnioski: Dziesięcioletnia obserwacja szpitalnych UTI występujących w oddziale chorób wewnętrznych i nefrologii wykazała możliwość przeprowadzenia bardzo dokładnej analizy epidemiologicznej tych zakażeń. Porównanie gęstości występowania szpitalnych UTI uzyskane w badanym oddziale z odnotowaną w programach CDC pozwala wnioskować, iż sytuacja epidemiologiczna w badanym oddziale nie odbiega znacząco od sytuacji w innych krajach.
Introduction: Hospital-acquired infections are one of the most serious health threats during a patient’s stay in hospital, including healthcare associated infections (HAI). The most typical form of hospital-acquired infections is urinary tract infection (UTI). Objective: To examine the frequency of appearing UTIs, the structure of UTIs in in-patients in the department of internal medicine and nephrology at Saint Lucas’s general hospital in Tarnów was analysed. Materials and methods: Data analysis of 13 965 in-patients staying in the department of internal medicine and nephrology from 2006 to 2015 was carried out. To investigate these data epidemiological methods and standard definitions of hospital- acquired infections issued by European Center for Disease Prevention as well as Control and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used. Results: 237 hospital-acquired UTIs were revealed, which is 33% of all UTIs revealed in the investigated ward. The UTI incidence rate was 1.7% including 1.5% for microbiologically confirmed symptomatic UTIs and 0.2% not microbiologically confirmed symptomatic UTIs. The incidence density rate per 1 000 person-days was 0.2 over 1 000. The number of revealed catheter-related cases was 168, and not catheter-related cases – 69. The incidence density rate of UTIs associated with urinary catheters was 3.3 per 1 000 person-days. The dominant etiological factors, which were taken to be detected from the infected patients’ specimens, were: Escherichia coli 63 (29%), Enterococcus spp. 37(16%), Klebsiella spp. 23 (11%). Conclusions: A 10 year observation of UTIs, which have appeared in the department of internal medicine and nephrology, allowed to conduct the accurate analysis of these infections. The comparison of urinary tract infection rates done in the investigated ward, and recorded in the Research Participation Programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), allows to draw the conclusion that the presented epidemiological situation does not differ significantly from other countries.

Opis:
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) is a human pathogen using type III secretion system for delivery of proteins directly into the human host. The system contains a single ATPase, EscN, which is essential for uncoupling of proteins from their complexes with chaperones before the delivery. The structure of EscN ATPase (PDB code: 2obm) was used to screen computationally for small molecule inhibitors blocking its active site. Two lead candidates were examined but only one, Compound 54, was selected for further optimization. After extended QSAR optimization, two derivatives were found to be competitive inhibitors of EscN capable of blocking ATPase activity with a Ki below 50 µM. One candidate, WEN05-03, with a Ki=16±2 µM, was also minimally toxic to mammalian cells as determined by other assays. In the cell infection model of HeLa cells with EPEC, Compound WEN05-03 completely blocked actin cluster formation at 100 µM concentration, when analyzed by confocal microscopy. The second best inhibitor of EscN ATPase activity was WEN04-34 with a Ki=46±2 µM. However, the compound was highly toxic to the BALB/3T3 cell line. In summary, the work identifies a compound blocking bacterial ATPase in its active site without causing cellular toxicity to the host cells. It is the first report showing feasibility of using bacterial virulence system ATPase as a target for safe, non-toxic compounds and offering a proof-of-concept for non-antibiotic alternatives.

Opis:
Adhesion of enterotoxigenic (ETEC) E. coli to host intestinal cells is mediated by lectin-like fimbriae that bind to specific glycan moieties on the surfaces of enterocytes. To prevent in vitro binding of E. coli F4 fimbriae (F4 ETEC+) to piglet enterocytes, neoglycans were synthesized by the Maillard reaction conjugating lactose (Lac), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) or chitin oligosaccharides (Ochit) to porcine serum albumin (PSA). Neoglycans were characterized by SDS-PAGE, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and recognition by plant lectins, as well as by F4 ETEC variants. Electrophoretic patterns suggested the binding to PSA of 63, 13 and 2 molecules of Lac, GOS and Ochit, respectively. All neoglycans displayed quenching of tryptophan fluorescence consistent with the degree of glycation estimated by SDS-PAGE. Plant lectins recognized the neoglycans according to their specificity, whereas antigenic variants of F4 ETEC (ab, ac and ad) recognized PSA-Ochit and PSA-Lac with higher affinity than that for GOS. Neoglycans partially hindered the in vitro binding of F4+ ETEC to piglet enterocytes in a dose-dependent manner. The most effective blocking was observed with PSA-Lac that partially inhibited the adhesion of bacteria to enterocytes in a dose dependent manner, as quantified by flow cytometry. Increased production of the cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α was observed in response to F4+ ETEC infection of enterocytes and production was reduced in the presence of PSA-Ochit and PSA-GOS. These results suggest that neoglycans synthesized by the Maillard reaction could be useful in the prophylaxis of diarrhea in piglets.

Opis:
Introduction. This study was aimed to assess the microbiological quality of water in the Nowohucki Reservoir (Kraków, Poland) as well as to determine whether its waters contain microorganisms potentially dangerous from an epidemiological point of view. Material and methods. Microbiological analyses included the determination of the number of mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria, coliforms, fecal E. coli, as well as E. faecalis, C. perfringens, Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella spp.. Water samples were collected 4 times per year on April 27th 2015 (spring), July 10th 2015 (summer), October 12th 2015 (autumn) and December 29th 2015 (winter) at 5 points within the area of the reservoir. Water and air temperature was measured onsite. Results. It was found that the prevalence of the analyzed microorganisms was affected by changing water and air temperature as well as by using this reservoir during holiday season for swimming purposes by local residents. All analyzed microbiological indicators of poor water quality were found in the analyzed water samples, which may pose a potential health risk to people swimming in the considered reservoir. Conclusions. From an epidemiological point of view, it is reasonable to include the Nowohucki Reservoir into a constant sanitary monitoring programme.
Wstęp. Badania miały na celu ocenę stanu mikrobiologicznego wód Zalewu w Nowej Hucie (Kraków, Polska) a także określenie, czy w zbiorniku występują drobnoustroje potencjalnie niebezpieczne z epidemiologicznego punktu widzenia. Materiał i metody. Analizy mikrobiologiczne obejmowały określenie liczebności bakterii mezofilnych, psychrofilnych, bakterii grupy coli, form kałowych E. coli, a także E. faecalis, C. perfringens, Staphylococcus spp. i Salmonella spp.. Próbki wód pobierane były 4 razy w roku w następujących terminach: 27.04.2015 r. (wiosna), 10.07.2015 r. (lato), 12.10.2015 r. (jesień) i 29.12.2015 r. (zima) w 5 punktach na terenie zalewu. Ponadto, w każdym punkcie pomiarowym mierzono temperaturę wody oraz powietrza. Wyniki. Stwierdzono, że na liczebność badanych drobnoustrojów wpływała zmieniająca się temperatura wody i powietrza oraz użytkowanie w sezonie wakacyjnym zalewu w charakterze kąpieliska przez okolicznych mieszkańców. W pobranych próbkach zidentyfikowano wszystkie badane wskaźniki czystości mikrobiologicznej wód, które stanowią potencjalne zagrożenie dla kąpiących się w zbiorniku ludzi. Wnioski. Z epidemiologicznego punktu widzenia zasadnym jest objęcie wód Zalewu w Nowej Hucie stałym monitoringiem sanitarnym.
