Uruburuella testudinis sp. nov., isolated from tortoise (Testudo)

A polyphasic taxonomic analysis was carried out on 11 uncommon Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, but indole-negative, bacterial strains isolated from tortoises. Phenotypically and genetically they represented a homogeneous group of organisms most closely related to, but distinct from, Uruburuella suis. In a reconstructed 16S rRNA gene tree they clustered on a monophyletic branch next to U. suis with gene similarities between strains of 99.5-100%, and of up to 98.2% with U. suis . DNA-DNA hybridization indicated the organisms represented a novel species with only 40% DNA-DNA similarity with U. suis . Partial sequencing of rpoB resulted in two subclusters confirming the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny; both genes allowed clear separation and identification of the novel species. Furthermore, they could be unambiguously identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS, where, again, they formed a highly homogeneous cluster separate from U. suis and other members of the family Neisseriaceae . The major fatty acids were C(16 : 0) and summed feature C(16 : 1)ω7c/iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH. The DNA G+C content was 54.4 mol%. Based on phenotypic and genetic data we propose classifying these organisms as representatives of a novel species named Uruburuella testudinis sp. nov. The type strain is 07_OD624(T) ( = DSM 26510(T) = CCUG 63373(T)).

Tritrichomonas--systematics of an enigmatic genus.

Tritrichomonas spp. are parasitic protozoans that proliferate on mucus membranes of the urogenital, gastro-intestinal or nasal tract. For instance, Tritrichomonas foetus is an important cause of reproductive failure in cattle. Some years ago, T. foetus was also identified as a causative agent of diarrhoea in cats. Previous studies on the morphological, physiological and molecular levels have raised doubts as to the phylogenetic relationship among some Tritrichomonas species, particularly in relation to T. foetus, Tritrichomonas suis, and Tritrichomonas mobilensis. With the advent of molecular genetic tools, it has become clear that these three tritrichomonad species are closely related or may even represent the same species. Indeed, since recently, T. suis and T. foetus are generally considered as one species, with T. mobilensis being a closely related sister taxon. To date, molecular studies have not yet been able to resolve the taxonomic (specific) status of T. foetus from cattle and cats. In the future, novel genomic approaches, particularly those involving next generation sequencing are poised to resolve the taxonomy of Tritrichomonas spp. Here, we review the literature on the current state of knowledge of the taxonomy of T. foetus, T. suis, and T. mobilensis with special reference to the relationship between T. foetus from cattle and cats.

Monitoreo de parásitos patógenos en afluentes agroindustriales

Las aguas residuales son potenciales portadoras de enteroparásitos patógenos para el hombre cuya dosis infectiva puede ser mínima y prolongado el tiempo de sobrevivencia de huevos y quistes en el ambiente. La reglamentación limita la presencia de huevos de helmintos y, hasta el año 2000, no proponía una técnica para su detección. Este trabajo se realizó para caracterizar parasitológicamente los efluentes procedentes de agroindustrias. La capacitación en la identificación microscópica demandó la confección de fichas que describen las características de huevos de helmintos. Se efectuaron ensayos con muestras de bodegas y aceiteras en los puntos detectados de contaminación. Los métodos fueron adaptados a las particularidades de los efluentes. Los resultados no señalaron presencia de helmintos; no obstante, se hallaron Cyclospora e Isospora, protozoarios que, por su alto poder infectivo, también constituyen un riesgo para el hombre. Sin embargo, no están contemplados por la legislación. Respecto a helmintos, es necesario un estudio comparativo de las técnicas de detección para efluentes agroindustriales, con el fin de establecer las que optimicen su recuperación. En cuanto a otras especies es preciso continuar investigando su presencia para evaluar la conveniencia de incorporarlas a la reglamentación.

Ecoepidemiología de Chlamydophila psittaci, pecorum, pneumoniae, abortus en Córdoba

Las Clamidias son bacterias patógenas de los animales de producción, de vida silvestre y de compañía. Además de las pérdidas económicas que producen las infecciones en los planteles de producción bovina, ovina, caprina, porcina y aves de corral, la mayoría de las especies tienen importancia zoonótica, pudiendo dar origen a infecciones graves, potencialmente letales en el ser humano. El orden Chlamydiales está integrado por bacterias que actúan como parásitos intracelulares obligados que desarrollan su ciclo de vida únicamente dentro de inclusiones citoplasmáticas. En este orden se encuentra la familia Chlamydiaceae que comprende dos géneros, Chlamydia y Chlamydophila; y las especies, Chlamydia trachomatis, C. suis, C. muridarum, Chlamydophila psittaci, C. abortus, C. felis, C. caviae, C. pecorum, y C. pneumoniae. C. psittaci causa psitacosis o clamidiosis aviar. En Argentina, los primeros casos clínicos de psitacosis fueron reportados en 1929. Los criadores de aves y quienes las poseen como mascotas, representan el grupo de mayor riesgo; pero también las personas que trabajan en pajarerías y aquellas que por su empleo se ven expuestas a contraer la enfermedad (empleados en peladeros donde se carnean y procesan pollos y otras aves para consumo, veterinarios, empleados de zoológicos, etc.). La infección en humanos se presenta como una neumonía severa; con fiebre alta, escalofríos, dolor de cabeza, mialgia y dificultad respiratoria. Ocasionalmente puede presentarse vómitos, dolor abdominal, diarrea y complicaciones como miocarditis, endocarditis, encefalitis, ictericia y fallas multiorgánicas, que pueden ser fatales sino se le administra el tratamiento adecuado. La infección en las mujeres embarazadas puede producir neumonía, hepatitis, insuficiencia renal, sepsis, parto prematuro y muerte fetal. Existen más de 465 especies de aves en las que se registró C. psittaci, incluyendo ornamentales, de corral, silvestres, acuáticas y palomas. Las patologías que pueden producir en estos animales son neumonitis, conjuntivitis, encefalomielitis, placentopatías, fetopatías, anorexia, diarrea e infecciones persistentes asintomáticas u oligosintomáticas. En bovinos, C. pecorum, C. abortus y C. psittaci producen infecciones respiratorias y genitales; que se presentan como cuadros de enteritis, artritis, encefalomielitis, endometritis e hipofertilidad. En Argentina, la infección clamidial en el ganado caprino fue asociada a daños en el tejido uterino, abortos, partos prematuros y crías débiles. En equinos, C. psittaci y C. pneumoniae producen abortos y desórdenes respiratorios, con un gran impacto en ganadería que redunda en pérdidas económicas. Considerando que existen escasos estudios eco-epidemiológicos y clínicos que reporten el estado de situación de estas infecciones en nuestro medio, es que el presente trabajo propone actualizar y profundizar el conocimiento de las especies de Clamidias de importancia médico-veterinaria presentes en la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. El desarrollo de este proyecto aportará la implementación de técnicas que mejorarán el diagnóstico microbiológico, confirmarán los cuadros clínicos; y por lo tanto contribuirá al conocimiento de estos agentes infecciosos en nuestra región. Esta información es indispensable para los organismos responsables de la Salud Pública (Ministerios de Salud y Educación, Municipios, etc.) para que puedan obrar en consecuencia y generar sistemas de alerta temprana, tomar medidas de prevención y medidas de control frente a la presencia de un brote epidémico por alguna cepa clamidial.
