Mycobacterium interjectum, a new species isolated from a patient with chronic lymphadenitis.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium-like organisms, isolates 2081/92 and 4185/92, were recovered from a lymph node of a child with chronic lymphadenitis. The growth characteristics, acid-fastness, and mycolic acids of the isolate were consistent with those for Mycobacterium species. The isolates were biochemically distinct from described Mycobacterium species, although they most closely resembled M. scrofulaceum. Comparative 16S rDNA sequencing showed that these isolates represent a new slow-growing Mycobacterium species which is named M. interjectum. Our results demonstrate the importance of 16S rDNA sequencing for recognizing the diversity of species within the genus Mycobacterium.

Mycobacterium haemophilum and lymphadenitis in children.

Project description:Infections associated with Mycobacterium haemophilum are underdiagnosed because specific culture methods required for its recovery are not applied routinely. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology on fine needle aspirates and biopsied specimens from 89 children with cervicofacial lymphadenitis, we assessed the importance of M. haemophilum. Application of a Mycobacterium genus-specific real-time PCR in combination with amplicon sequencing and a M. haemophilum-specific PCR resulted in the recognition of M. haemophilum as the causative agent in 16 (18%) children with cervicofacial lymphadenitis. M. avium was the most frequently found species (56%), and M. haemophilum was the second most commonly recognized pathogen. Real-time PCR results were superior to culture because only 9 (56%) of the 16 diagnosed M. haemophilum infections were positive by culture.

Peptoniphilus lacydonensis sp. nov., a new human-associated species isolated from a patient with chronic refractory sinusitis.

Project description:Strain EL1T was isolated from a sinus sample of an 85-year-old man with chronic refractory sinusitis complicating ethmoidal adenocarcinoma. We studied its phenotypic and genomic characteristics. This is a Gram stain-positive, anaerobic and microaerophilic coccus. Cells are catalase negative, nonmotile and non-spore forming. The major fatty acids are saturated hexadecanoic acid (34%), unsaturated 9-octadecenoic acid (32%) and 9.12-octadecadienoic acid (21%). The 1.86 Mb long genome exhibits a 29.9% G+C content and contains 1750 protein-coding and 43 RNA genes. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of the new human-associated bacterial species Peptoniphilus lacydonensis sp. nov.

Acidomonas methanolica-associated necrotizing lymphadenitis in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease.

Project description:PurposeAdenitis for which no causative organism can be isolated is a common occurrence in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Here we identify Acidomonas methanolica as a pathogen associated with adenitis in a patient with CGD.MethodsThe causative pathogen was obtained after prolonged incubation of an excised lymph node in thioglycolate broth. Identification was carried out by sequencing the 16s rRNA. Immunoblots were prepared utilizing protein extracts from the case patient's A. methanolica isolate, an ATCC type strain of A. methanolica and G. bethesdensis.ResultsFastidious gram-negative rods grew after prolonged incubation of an excised lymph node in thioglycolate broth. Sequencing of the 16s rRNA identified the organism as A. methanolica. Immunoblot confirmed the pathogen's role in the patient's adenitis by showing the patient's specific immune response to the organism.ConclusionsA. methanolica is the second member of the family, Acetobacteaceae to be associated with adenitis in patients with CGD.

A new agent of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children: Mycobacterium heidelbergense sp. nov.

Project description:Nontuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis presents an increasing clinical problem in immunocompetent young children. A slowly growing, nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium was recovered twice (isolates 2553/91 and 2554/91) from the lymphatic tissue of a child with recurrent cervical lymphadenitis. It could be differentiated biochemically from described Mycobacterium species, although it most closely resembled Mycobacterium malmoense by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography of mycolic acids. A striking characteristic of the isolate was its high degree of susceptibility to antituberculous drugs in vitro, including isoniazid. Direct determination of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed a unique sequence and positioned the strain phylogenetically on a branch separate from M. malmoense within a group of slowly growing mycobacteria that show a high degree of similarity to M. simiae at the 16S rRNA gene level. Despite 99.6% sequence identity with M. simiae at the 16S rRNA gene level, DNA-DNA hybridization studies (hydroxyapatite method) demonstrated DNA relatedness of less than 40%. We conclude that this organism is a new species for which we propose the name M. heidelbergense. A culture of the type strain, strain 2554/91, has been deposited in the American Type Culture Collection as strain ATCC 51253.

A novel bacterium associated with lymphadenitis in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease.

Project description:Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disease of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system causing defective production of toxic oxygen metabolites, impaired bacterial and fungal killing, and recurrent life-threatening infections. We identified a novel gram-negative rod in excised lymph nodes from a patient with CGD. Gram-negative rods grew on charcoal-yeast extract, but conventional tests could not identify it. The best 50 matches of the 16S rRNA (using BLAST) were all members of the family Acetobacteraceae, with the closest match being Gluconobacter sacchari. Patient serum showed specific band recognition in whole lysate immunoblot. We used mouse models of CGD to determine whether this organism was a genuine CGD pathogen. Intraperitoneal injection of gp91(phox -/-) (X-linked) and p47 (phox -/-) (autosomal recessive) mice with this bacterium led to larger burdens of organism recovered from knockout compared with wild-type mice. Knockout mouse lymph nodes had histopathology that was similar to that seen in our patient. We recovered organisms with 16S rRNA sequence identical to the patient's original isolate from the infected mice. We identified a novel gram-negative rod from a patient with CGD. To confirm its pathogenicity, we demonstrated specific immune reaction by high titer antibody, showed that it was able to cause similar disease when introduced into CGD, but not wild-type mice, and we recovered the same organism from pathologic lesions in these mice. Therefore, we have fulfilled Koch's postulates for a new pathogen. This is the first reported case of invasive human disease caused by any of the Acetobacteraceae. Polyphasic taxonomic analysis shows this organism to be a new genus and species for which we propose the name Granulobacter bethesdensis.

Characterization of a Candida albicans Isolated from a recurrent Cervical Lymphadenitis Patient and it’s Clinic Indication

Project description:Purpose: To reveal the global regulatory genes of clinical strain, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of the SC5314 and JL01.Methods: We isolated a clinical Candida albicans strain JL01 (Jinling Hospital in Nanjing, China) from a 21-year-old man who presented to our hospital with recurrent cervical lymphadenitis. Cells of the JL01 and SC5314 were inoculated from overnight cultures by 1% into liquid YPD plus 10% serum medium at 37°C for 3 h. Cells were collected and total RNA was extracted as described. RNA-Seq analysis was performed by the company Majorbio (Shanghai, China). mRNA was purified, fragmented and used to synthesize cDNA. The library products were sequenced on the HiSeq 4000 platform using the HisSeq 4000 PE Cluster Kit and HisSeq 4000 SBS Kit.Results: 421 genes were significantly differentially regulated (P≤0.05, |log2FC|≥1) in JL01 compared with SC5314. Of these 421 DEGs (differentially expressed genes), 216 were up-regulated, and 205 were down-regulated. Conclusions: Together the clinical, morphological and biological analyses, we suggest that azole drug resistance, invasive defect and hypo-virulence of the JL01 strain may correlate with its contribution in chronic fungal infection.

A probable new Helicobacter species isolated from a patient with bacteremia.

Project description:A probable new Helicobacter species was isolated from the blood of a 14-month-old aboriginal child who presented with vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and dry cough. The most similar 16S rRNA gene sequence was that of Helicobacter fennelliae CCUG 18820(T) but the new sequence differed from it by at least 32 base substitutions and by the presence of a large (353-nucleotide) intervening sequence.
