Project description:Corynebacterium species are increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens. A growing number of taxonomic studies has yielded a description of numerous new Corynebacterium species, such as those related to the urogenital tract, with Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum found to be rarely involved in genitourinary tract infections, particularly in male individuals. In this report, we describe a urethritis case caused by C. glucuronolyticum in a 37-year-old, apparently healthy male, who complained mild pain in the lower abdomen, with several urinary symptoms. While urethral and semen specimens did not yield positive results for microbiological evaluation, cultures of urine samples revealed the monomicrobial growth on blood-containing media of tiny colonies after 24 h of incubation, clearly evident only after 48 h of incubation under CO2-enriched atmosphere. Colonies were identified as C. glucuronolyticum both by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Oral ciprofloxacin gradually led to clinical improvement and, finally, to a complete recovery, in accordance with microbiological findings. In spite of its infrequent detection, C. glucuronolyticum might be a potential urogenital pathogen in males more commonly that what believed, perhaps due to slow growth leading to underrecognition; we suggest therefore to consider the organism in the differential diagnostics of bacterial diseases of the urinary tract.

Project description:Bacterial strains isolated from the genital tracts of humans (predominantly males), semen of boars, and uterine and vaginal secretions of sows were identified as Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum and were compared with the type strains of the recently proposed species Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum and Corynebacterium seminale. The two type strains as well as the clinical strains were shown by DNA-DNA hybridization and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to be related at the species level. All strains were classified as C. glucuronolyticum, because this name has nomenclatural priority over C. seminale.

Project description:We profiled both fractions of the urinary proteome for 33 human subjects with varied pathologies such as urinary tract infection (UTI), urogenital injury and commensal bacteria colonization. Using a LC-MS/MS based metaproteomic approach, we identified 5,327 non-redundant human proteins, 2,638 and 4,379 of which were associated with soluble urine (SU) and urinary pellet (UP) fractions, respectively, and approximately 1,206 non-redundant protein orthology groups derived from pathogens and commensal organisms of the urogenital tract

Project description:Ureaplasma are widespread parasites colonizing the mucosal surface of the human urogenital tract, and it has been suspected as a causative agent of nongonococcal urethritis, pregnancy complications and prenatal infections. Ureaplasma may also cause central nervous system infections and affect the lower respiratory tract of newborn babies. However, Ureaplasma spp. have also been detected in the urogenital tracts of clinically healthy patients, and their role in the development of infections thus remains unclear. Like in other organisms, virulence of Ureaplasma is determined by the presence of virulence factors - adhesions, human IgA protease, phospholipase and urease. However, the existence of interrelationships between the presence of these genes in the Ureaplasma genome and the incidence of diseases in man has not been demonstrated. Difficulties in the elucidation of these interrelationships may arise from significant macro- (gene mutation, chromosomal rearrangements) and micro- (nucleotide polymorphism) genomic heterogeneity. It is possible that the combination of the variable strain-specific genes in Ureaplasma with generally known virulence factors determine the development of pathological processes on the mucosal surface of the human urogenital tract.
