Project description:BackgroundOlsenella uli is anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria, commonly found in oral cavity or gastrointestinal tract, which has not been reported to be associated with lower respiratory tract infection. Herein, we report the first case of Olsenella uli infection in the lung.Case presentationA 70-year-old male farmer with no history of other respiratory tract diseases developed a cough with bloody sputum three times a day without obvious causes or other concomitant symptoms. After a period of treatment with empirical antibiotic, his condition did not improve. The computed tomography (CT) and lung biopsy results indicated bilateral pneumonia, and Olsenella uli was identified by micromorphology, sequence analysis and mass spectrometry analysis recovered from sputum. Ceftazidime, a third generation cephalosporin was used for the treatment, and the patient recovered after 10 days.ConclusionsOur report suggests a causative role of gingival bacteria in the pathogenesis of pneumonia, thus early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic therapy may play a role in the treatment of Olsenella uli induced pneumonia.

Project description:Olsenella uli (Olsen et al. 1991) Dewhirst et al. 2001 is the type species of the genus Olsenella, which belongs to the actinobacterial family Coriobacteriaceae. The species is of interest because it is frequently isolated from dental plaque in periodontitis patients and can cause primary endodontic infection. The species is a Gram-positive, non-motile and non-sporulating bacterium. The strain described in this study was isolated from human gingival crevices. This is the first completed sequence of the genus Olsenella and the fifth sequence from a member of the family Coriobacteriaceae. The 2,051,896 bp long genome with its 1,795 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
