Project description:Background: Meningitis can be caused by several viruses and bacteria. Identifying the causative pathogen as quickly as possible is crucial to initiate the most optimal therapy, as acute bacterial meningitis is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality. Bacterial meningitis requires antibiotics, as opposed to enteroviral meningitis, which only requires supportive therapy. Clinical presentation is usually not sufficient to differentiate between viral and bacterial meningitis, thereby necessitating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis by PCR and/or time-consuming bacterial cultures. However, collecting CSF in children is not always feasible and a rather invasive procedure. Methods: In 12 Belgian hospitals, we obtained acute blood samples from children with signs of meningitis (49 viral and 7 bacterial cases). (aged between 3 months and 16 years). After pathogen confirmation on CSF, the patient was asked to give a convalescent sample after recovery. 3’mRNA sequencing was performed to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to create a host transcriptomic profile. Results: Enteroviral meningitis cases displayed the largest upregulated fold change enrichment in type I interferon production, response and signaling pathways. Patients with bacterial meningitis showed a significant upregulation of genes related to macrophage and neutrophil activation. We found several significantly DEGs between enteroviral and bacterial meningitis. Random forest classification showed that we were able to differentiate enteroviral from bacterial meningitis with an AUC of 0.982 on held-out samples. Conclusions: Enteroviral meningitis has an innate immunity signature with type 1 interferons as key players. Our classifier, based on blood host transcriptomic profiles of different meningitis cases, is a possible strong alternative for diagnosing enteroviral meningitis.

Project description:Tuberculous meningitis is one of the fatal forms of extra pulmonary disease associated with high mortality and severe neurological defects in affected individuals. We have carried out transcriptome level analysis using whole human genome microarrays to identify differential expression of genes between tuberculous meningitis and normals. In our gene expression analysis, we found 2,434 genes that were differentially erexpressed with 2 or more than 2 fold changes between tuberculous meningitis compared to normal cases. Most of the genes encoded many of the proteins, which involves metabolism, energy pathways, cell growth and/or maintenance, transport and cell communication and signal transduction. We have performed immunohistochemistry for the validation of some of the novel candidates identified in our microarray studies.!Series_overall_design = Present study carried out mRNA expression profiling of five samples from patients diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis and four head injury cases were used as controls. We have used 4X44K arrays from agilent plaform. To validate our microarray results, we have done Immunohistochemistry on 15 TBM cases with control groups.

Project description:During 2010-2014, we enrolled 511 patients with suspected bacterial meningitis into surveillance in 2 districts of northern Togo. We identified 15 persons with Streptococcus suis infection; 10 had occupational contact with pigs, and 12 suffered neurologic sequelae. S. suis testing should be considered in rural areas of the African meningitis belt.

Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonosis pathogen that causes significant economic losses worldwide characterized by meningitis, septicaemia, arthritis, bronchopneumonia endocarditis. Streptcoccus suis 2 strain SC19 was isolated in Sichuan province in China, during the outbreak in 2005. Septicemia is most popular symptoms for SC19 infection, and mortality is high. We used human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) infected SC19 to analysis the pathomechanism of septicemia in SS2 infection.

Project description:Tuberculosis co-infected with HIV may increase the risk of causing meningitis. Tuberculous meningitis co-infected with HIV associated with high mortality and severe neurological abnormalities in affected individuals. We have carried out TBM co-infected with HIV gene expression study using whole human genome microarrays. We identified 796 differentially expressed genes with fold change cut off of 2 or more than 2. Out of 796 differentially expressed genes, 398 were upregulated and 396 were downregulated. We have validated two molecules from microarray data using immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Identification of Genes and Genomic Islands Correlated with High Pathogenicity through Tilling Microarray-Based Comparative Genomics in S. suis. Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. S. suis isolates have been categorized into groups of different levels of pathogenicity, with sequence type (ST) ST1 clonal complex strains having a higher degree of virulence than other STs. However, the genetic basis of the differences in pathogenicity is still poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive genomic comparison of 31 S. suis strains from different clinical sources with the genome sequence of the high pathogenicity (HP) strain GZ1 was conducted using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform.
