Project description:Dolosigranulum pigrum is a quite recently discovered Gram-positive coccus. It has gained increasing attention due to its negative correlation with Staphylococcus aureus, which is one of the most successful modern pathogens causing severe infections with tremendous morbidity and mortality due to its multiple resistances. As the possible mechanisms behind its inhibition of S. aureus remain unclear, a genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) is of enormous interest and high importance to better study its role in this fight. This article presents the first GEM of D. pigrum, which was curated using automated reconstruction tools and extensive manual curation steps to yield a high-quality GEM. It was evaluated and validated using all currently available experimental data of D. pigrum. With this model, already predicted auxotrophies and biosynthetic pathways could be verified. The model was used to define a minimal medium for further laboratory experiments and to predict various carbon sources’ growth capacities. This model will pave the way to better understand D. pigrum’s role in the fight against S. aureus.

Project description:We report a case of non-ventilator-associated nosocomial pneumonia and septicemia due to Dolosigranulum pigrum, a rare gram-positive opportunistic pathogen. The organism was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood of a debilitated patient. D. pigrum was identified after 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundDolosigranulum pigrum is a commensal inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract suspected to be responsible for ocular infections but no well-described case of D. pigrum corneal infection has been reported. Herein culture and PCR-sequencing-based investigations of corneal scraping specimens confirmed D. pigrum keratitis in three patients.Case presentationThree elderly patients presented with unilateral keratitis. None was a corneal-contact lens wearer, one had previous cataract surgery and another suffered rheumatoid arthritis sicca syndrome. Culturing the corneal scraping specimen was positive for two cases and PCR-sequencing of bacterial 16S rDNA in the presence of negative controls identified D. pigrum in three cases. The two D. pigrum isolates were in-vitro susceptible to penicillin G, amoxicillin, doxycycline, rifampicin and gentamicin. In all cases, surgical treatment of corneal thinning was necessary, but corneal perforation occurred in two cases despite intensive antimicrobial treatment with ticarcillin, gentamicin and vancomycin or levofloxacin eye drops leading to enucleation in one case.ConclusionsD. pigrum is the likely cause of corneal infection in three patients, with effective antibiotic treatment in two patients.
