Draft Genome Sequence of the Yeast Kodamaea ohmeri, a Symbiont of the Small Hive Beetle.

ABSTRACT: Kodamaea ohmeri is a symbiont of the small hive beetle (SHB), which is a scavenger of honey bee colonies. The SHB causes absconding of the economically important honey bee (Apis mellifera) and deposits K. ohmeri in the honeycomb. We describe long-read sequencing and further analyses of the K. ohmeri genome.

International beeswax trade facilitates small hive beetle invasions.

Project description:International trade can facilitate biological invasions, but the possible role of beeswax trade for small hive beetles (SHBs), Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is poorly understood. SHBs are parasites of social bee colonies native to sub-Saharan Africa and have become an invasive species. Since 1996, SHBs have established in all continents except Antarctica. Here, we combine mitochondrial DNA analyses (COI gene, N = 296 SHBs, 98 locations) with previously published beeswax trade data (FAO) for 12 confirmed SHB invasions. Our genetic data confirm previous findings and suggest novel SHB African origins. In nine out of 12 invasion cases, the genetic and beeswax trade data match. When excluding one confirmed pathway (bee imports) and two cases, for which no FAO data were available, the genetics and beeswax trade data consistently predict the same source. This strongly suggests that beeswax imports from Ethiopia, South Africa, Tanzania and the USA, respectively, have mainly been responsible for the past invasion success of this beetle species. Adequate mitigation measures should be applied to limit this key role of beeswax imports for the further spread of SHBs. Combining genetics with trade data appears to be a powerful tool to better understand and eventually mitigate biological invasions.

Kodamaea ohmeri fungemia in severe burn: Case study and literature review.

Project description:Kodamaea ohmeri is a relatively rare yeast isolated form clinical specimens, and it is known to be a causative fungus of severe invasive infectious diseases in immunocompromised hosts. Herein, we describe fungemia due to K. ohmeri in a patient with a severe extended burn. The isolate was obtained from not only blood specimens but also skin lesions. We should be aware of risk for fungemia including K. ohmeri in case of severe burn.

Project description:Kodamaea ohmeri is a rare yeast pathogen that has recently emerged as an important cause of fungaemia in immunocompromised patients. In most cases, identification to the species level requires the adoption of new tools, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) or DNA sequencing. As K. ohmeri is a teleomorph of Candida guilliermondii var. membranaefaciens and its susceptibility to fluconazole is variable, a rapid and accurate identification of this yeast is important. Echinocandins may be the first choice for empiric therapy for this pathogen. We report the case of a 25-year-old male patient from North China who developed a catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by K. ohmeri. He was treated with caspofungin in hospital. He improved after removal of the central venous catheter and use of caspofungin as therapy. The K. ohmeri strain was identified using a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer and a Vitek 2YST card. Definitive identification was obtained by a sequencing test of the internal transcribed spacer regions of the rDNA. Our patient findings, the first reported in mainland China, highlighted the diagnostic challenges associated with catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by fungi.

First Report of the Emerging Pathogen Kodamaea ohmeri in Honduras.

Project description:Kodamaea ohmeri is an environmental yeast considered a rare emerging pathogen. In clinical settings, the correct identification of this yeast is relevant because some isolates are associated with resistance to antifungals. There is a lack of available data regarding the geographical distribution, virulence, and drug resistance profile of K. ohmeri. To contribute to the knowledge of this yeast, this study aimed to describe in depth three isolates of K. ohmeri associated with fungemia in Honduras. The identification of the isolates was carried out by sequencing the ribosomal ITS region. In addition, the susceptibility profile to antifungals was determined, and some properties associated with virulence were evaluated (exoenzyme production, biofilm formation, cell adhesion, and invasion). The isolates showed strong protease, phospholipase, and hemolysin activity, in addition to being biofilm producers. Adherence and invasion capacity were evident in the HeLa and Raw 264.7 cell lines, respectively. This study expands the understanding of the underlying biological traits associated with virulence in K. ohmeri, and it is the first report of the detection and identification of K. ohmeri in Honduras as a cause of human infection.
