Complete Genome Sequence of Legionella cardiaca Strain H63^T, Isolated from a Case of Native Valve Endocarditis.

ABSTRACT: We report the complete genome sequence of Legionella cardiaca strain H63^T, which had been isolated from aortic valve tissue from a patient with native endocarditis. The genome assembly contains a single 3,477,232-bp contig, with a G+C content of 38.59%, and is predicted to encode 2,948 proteins.

Legionella cardiaca sp. nov., isolated from a case of native valve endocarditis in a human heart.

Project description:A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated H63(T), was isolated from aortic valve tissue of a patient with native valve endocarditis. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that H63(T) belongs to the genus Legionella, with its closest neighbours being the type strains of Legionella brunensis (98.8% similarity), L. londiniensis (97.0%), L. jordanis (96.8%), L. erythra (96.2%), L. dresdenensis (96.0%) and L. rubrilucens, L. feeleii, L. pneumophila and L. birminghamensis (95.7%). DNA-DNA hybridization studies yielded values of <70% relatedness between strain H63(T) and its nearest neighbours in terms of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, indicating that the strain represents a novel species. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA, macrophage infectivity potentiator (mip) and RNase P (rnpB) genes confirmed that H63(T) represents a distinct species, with L. brunensis being its closest sister taxon. Fatty acid composition and biochemical traits, such as the inability to ferment glucose and reduce nitrate, supported the affiliation of H63(T) to the genus Legionella. H63(T) was distinguishable from its neighbours based on it being positive for hippurate hydrolysis. H63(T) was further differentiated by its inability to grow on BCYE agar at 17 °C, its poor growth on low-iron medium and the absence of sliding motility. Also, H63(T) did not react with antisera generated from type strains of Legionella species. H63(T) replicated within macrophages. It also grew in mouse lungs, inducing histopathological evidence of pneumonia and dissemination to the spleen. Together, these results confirm that H63(T) represents a novel, pathogenic Legionella species, for which the name Legionella cardiaca sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H63(T) ( = ATCC BAA-2315(T) = DSM 25049(T) = JCM 17854(T)).

Native valve endocarditis due to a novel strain of Legionella.

Project description:Legionellae are Gram-negative bacteria which are capable of causing disease, most commonly in the form of pneumonia. We describe a case of native valve endocarditis caused by a Legionella strain which by genotypic (16S rRNA and mip gene sequencing) and phenotypic analyses is unlike previously described strains of Legionella.

Complete Genome Sequence of Novel Psychrotolerant Legionella Strain TUM19329, Isolated from Antarctic Lake Sediment.

Project description:Here, we report the complete genome sequence characteristics of Legionella strain TUM19329, a candidate for a novel psychrotolerant species isolated from Antarctic lake sediment. The genome assembly contains a single 3,750,805-bp contig with a G+C content of 39.1% and is predicted to encode 3,538 proteins.

Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis.

Project description:Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (IPE) is a rare form of infectious endocarditis. This article reports the case of a 49-year-old patient with IPE who was initially admitted with suspected cholecystitis. After vegetations were detected by transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), antibiotic therapy in accordance with the antibiogram was primarily attempted; however, due to persistently elevated infection parameters and structural valve damage a pulmonary valve replacement was eventually performed.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Legionella longbeachae Serogroup 1 Strain Isolated from a Patient with Legionnaires' Disease.

Project description:Legionella longbeachae serogroup 1, predominantly found in soil and composted plant material, causes the majority of cases of Legionnaires' disease (LD) in New Zealand. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an L. longbeachae serogroup 1 (sg1) isolate derived from a patient hospitalized with LD in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Surgical Outcomes for Native Valve Endocarditis.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term and long-term results of surgical treatment for native valve endocarditis (NVE) and to investigate the risk factors associated with mortality.MethodsData including patients' characteristics, operative findings, postoperative results, and survival indices were retrospectively obtained from Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital.ResultsA total of 29 patients underwent surgery for NVE (affecting the mitral valve in 20 patients and the aortic valve in 9) between 2003 and 2017. During the follow-up period (median, 46.9 months; interquartile range, 19.1-107.0 months), the 5-year survival rate was 77.2%. In logistic regression analysis, body mass index (p=0.031; odds ratio [OR], 0.574; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.346-0.951), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (p=0.026; OR, 24.0; 95% CI, 1.459-394.8), and urgent surgery (p=0.010; OR, 34.5; 95% CI, 2.353-505.7) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality. Based on Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, the statistically significant predictors of long-term outcomes were hypertension, ESRD, and urgent surgery.ConclusionSurgical treatment for NVE is associated with considerable mortality. The in-hospital mortality and 5-year survival rates of this study were 13.8% and 77.2%, respectively. Underlying conditions, including hypertension and ESRD, and urgent surgery were independent risk factors for unfavorable outcomes.
