Project description:Blastocystis is an anaerobic unicellular protozoal parasite infecting the gastrointestinal tract of humans and a wide range of animals. It is one of the most common enteric microorganisms with higher prevalence rates in developing than in developed countries. Feco-oral is the main route of transmission where low socioeconomic conditions, poor hygienic practices, close contact with animals, and drinking contaminated water act as major risk factors. Infection with Blastocystis was demonstrated in both symptomatic and asymptomatic people. For a long period, Blastocystis was considered a commensal organism with no pathogenic role, but recently, many studies linked it to different gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Association with irritable bowel syndrome and colorectal cancer was also reported.
This study aims to:
- Identify subtypes of human Blastocystis isolates in Sohag by using RFLP-PCR and provide additional information on the molecular epidemiology of this parasite in our locality.

Project description:By unbiased deep sequencing, we identified a novel, highly divergent polyomavirus, provisionally named MX polyomavirus (MXPyV), in stool samples from children. From Mexico, 12 samples (out of 96) were positive for MxPyV by MXPyV-specific PCR. We used the ViroChip microarray and PCR to screen these 12 samples for co-infection with common diarrheal viruses. Six of 12 MxPyV-positive diarrheal samples tested negative by the ViroChip and PCR, and the other 6 samples were positive for at least one known diarrheal virus. The ViroChip microarray (version 5.0, Viro5AG-60K platform, GPL15905) was used to screen RNA extracts from MX polyomavirus (MXPyV)-positive pediatric diarrheal samples from Mexico for common diarrheal viruses.

Project description:Aged patients suffer disproportionately increased morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite numerous clinically available vaccines and therapeutics, aged patients remain at increased risk for COVID-19 morbidity. Furthermore, the aged patient population has suboptimal responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine antigens. Here, we characterize vaccine-induced responses to SARS-CoV-2 synthetic DNA vaccine antigens in 18-month-old mice and interrogate protection. Aged mice have altered cellular responses, including decreased IFNγ secretion and increased TNFα secretion as compared to young mice. Aged mice had significantly decreased binding and neutralizing antibodies in their serum compared to their young counterparts. Co-immunization with the plasmid-encoded molecular adjuvant adenosine deaminase-1 (pADA) enhanced cellular responses and expanded the breadth of humoral responses in aged mice. pADA co-delivery also altered the gene expression profiles of lymph node lymphocytes in aged animals. Upon challenge pADA co-immunization modestly decreased age-associated morbidity and mortality in ACE2 transgenic and mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 challenge models. These data support the use of aged mice as a model for age-associated decreased vaccine immunogenicity and infection-mediated morbidity and mortality in the context of SARS-CoV-2 and provide further support of the use of adenosine deaminase as a molecular adjuvant.

Project description:Collectively, viruses are the principal cause of cancers arising in patients with immune dysfunction, including HIV+ patients. Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) etiologically linked to KSHV continues to be the most common AIDS-associated tumor. The involvement of oral cavity represents one of the most common clinical manifestations of this tumor. HIV infection incurs an increased risk for periodontal diseases and oral carriage from a variety of pathogenic bacteria. In the current study, by using 16S rRNA based pyrosequencing, we found that oral shedding of KSHV altered oral microbiota signature in HIV+ patients which may contribute to virus-associated malignancies development.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: The immune system comprises an innate and an adaptive immune response to combat pathogenic agents. The human enteropathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invades the intestinal mucosa and triggers an early innate pro-inflammatory host gene response, which results in diarrheal disease. Several host factors are involved in the acute early response to Salmonella infection. Transcription factors and transcription co-regulators have an especially important function, because they are required for the expression and synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules. A central transcription factor involved in inflammation is NF-κB, which requires the nuclear protein PARP1 as co-factor for the expression of some of its target genes. Here, we investigated the role of PARP1 during Salmonella infection using a mouse model for Salmonella-induced colitis. METHODS: To study enterocolitis by Salmonella Typhimurium, an established mouse model system, which relies on streptomycin-pretreatment prior to Salmonella infection, was employed. Histopathologic signs of inflammation and cecum colonization at various time-points after infection of wild type and PARP1 knockout mice were analyzed. PARP1 expression in the gut mucosa was studied by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence. Gene expression profiles of infected and control infected mice in the wild type or PARP1 knockout background were obtained by whole mouse genome arrays and confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. 2 genotypes (wildtype, PARP1 knockout), 2 treatments (Salmonella SB300 infection, Salmonella SB161 control infection), 2 time-points (6h, 10h). 2-3 replicates/condition.

Project description:<p>Traveler's diarrhea (TD) is caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), other pathogenic gram-negative pathogens, norovirus and some parasites. Nevertheless, standard diagnostic methods fail to identify pathogens in more than 30% of TD patients, so it is predicted that new pathogens or groups of pathogens may be causative agents of disease. A comprehensive metagenomic study of the fecal microbiomes from 23 TD patients and seven healthy travelers was performed, all of which tested negative for the known etiologic agents of TD in standard tests. Metagenomic reads were assembled and the resulting contigs were subjected to semi-manual binning to assemble independent genomes from metagenomic pools. Taxonomic and functional annotations were conducted to assist identification of putative pathogens. We extracted 560 draft genomes, 320 of which were complete enough to be enough characterized as cellular genomes and 160 of which were bacteriophage genomes. We made predictions of the etiology of disease in individual subjects based on the properties and features of the recovered cellular genomes. Three subtypes of samples were observed. First were four patients with low diversity metagenomes that were predominated by one or more pathogenic E. coli strains. Annotation allowed prediction of pathogenic type in most cases. Second, five patients were co-infected with E. coli and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae, including antibiotic resistant Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter. Finally, several samples contained genomes that represented dark matter. In one of these samples we identified a TM7 genome that phylogenetically clustered with a strain isolated from wastewater and carries genes encoding potential virulence factors. We also observed a very high proportion of bacteriophage reads in some samples. The relative abundance of phage was significantly higher in healthy travelers when compared to TD patients. Our results highlight that assembly-based analysis revealed that diarrhea is often polymicrobial and includes members of the Enterobacteriaceae not normally associated with TD and have implicated a new member of the TM7 phylum as a potential player in diarrheal disease. </p>
