Project description:The first case reports involving Propionimicrobium lymphophilum, a rarely encountered anaerobic Gram-positive non-spore-forming rod, are presented here as urinary tract infections. Initial detection of these bacteria required urine Gram stains. Comparison of the type strain to the two isolates by various methods is depicted and includes antimicrobial susceptibility data.

<i>Propionimicrobium lymphophilum</i> and <i>Actinotignum schaalii</i> bacteraemia: a case report.

Project description:Propionimicrobium lymphophilum is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that exists in human skin and urinary tract. The pathogenicity is, however, not well known. Only two cases of urinary tract infection have been described recently. In the case presented here, the bacterium was isolated, concomitant with Actinotignum schaalii, from blood culture of a patient with fever and difficulty of urination. The bacteria were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing. The case was successfully treated with ampicillin/sulbactam.

An API for dynamic estimation of reference intervals for functional abundances of gut microbiota

Project description:This study demonstrates the usefulness of the API by generating a baseline gut microbiota profile of a healthy population and estimating reference intervals for the functional abundance of manually selected KEGG pathways. API facilitates microbiome research by providing dynamic and customizable tools for estimating reference intervals for gut microbiota functional abundances. Through the API, researchers can rapidly generate gut microbiota functional profiles of healthy populations to use as a baseline for comparison. The API also allows users to manually select specific KEGG pathways and estimate reference intervals for the functional abundance of those pathways. By generating these customized reference intervals, researchers can better understand the expected range of gut microbiota functions in healthy individuals. API enables microbiome studies to go beyond simple taxonomic profiling and delve deeper into the functional potential of gut microbiome communities. In summary, API represents a valuable tool for microbiome researchers that enhances the ability to elucidate connections between gut microbial functions and human health.

Comparison of plant responses upon P. palmivora infection in wild type (A17) line and in the api mutant

Project description:api mutant has been shown to be more resistant to P. palmivora than the A17 wild type (WT) line. In this study we want to compare both WT and mutant plant responses to the pathogen as well as their respective control transciptomes in order to identify api-dependent gene networks. Following germination, A17 or api plants grown in vitro on Agar medium were inoculated (or not = controls) with a P. palmivora zoospores (10^5/ml) and harvested 16 hours after inoculation. Three independent repeats were performed.
