Cryptosporidium spp. represent a major public health problem worldwide and infect the gastrointestinal tract of both immunocompetent and immunocompromised persons. The prevalence of these parasites varies by geographic region, and no data are currently available in Lebanon. To promote an understanding of the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosisin this country, the main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence Cryptosporidium in symptomatic hospitalized patients, and to analyze the genetic diversity of the corresponding isolates. Fecal specimens were collected in four hospitals in North Lebanon from 163 patients (77 males and 86 females, ranging in age from 1 to 88 years, with a mean age of 22 years) presenting gastrointestinal disorders during the period July to December 2013. The overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. infection obtained by modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining and/or nested PCR was 11%, and children <5 years old showed a higher rate of Cryptosporidium spp. The PCR products of the 15 positive samples were successfully sequenced. Among them, 10 isolates (66.7%) were identified as C. hominis, while the remaining 5 (33.3%) were identified as C. parvum. After analysis of the gp60 locus, C. hominis IdA19, a rare subtype, was found to be predominant. Two C. parvum subtypes were found: IIaA15G1R1 and IIaA15G2R1. The molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium isolates is an important step in improving our understanding of the epidemiology and transmission of the infection. 相似文献

The presence of Acinetobacter baumannii outside hospitals is still a controversial issue. The objective of our study was to explore the extrahospital epidemiology of A. baumannii in Lebanon. From February 2012 to October 2013, a total of 73 water samples, 51 soil samples, 37 raw cow milk samples, 50 cow meat samples, 7 raw cheese samples, and 379 animal samples were analyzed by cultural methods for the presence of A. baumannii. Species identification was performed by rpoB gene sequencing. Antibiotic susceptibility was investigated, and the A. baumannii population was studied by two genotyping approaches: multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and blaOXA-51 sequence-based typing (SBT). A. baumannii was detected in 6.9% of water samples, 2.7% of milk samples, 8.0% of meat samples, 14.3% of cheese samples, and 7.7% of animal samples. All isolates showed a susceptible phenotype against most of the antibiotics tested and lacked carbapenemase-encoding genes, except one that harbored a blaOXA-143 gene. MLST analysis revealed the presence of 36 sequence types (STs), among which 24 were novel STs reported for the first time in this study. blaOXA-51 SBT showed the presence of 34 variants, among which 21 were novel and all were isolated from animal origins. Finally, 30 isolates had new partial rpoB sequences and were considered putative new Acinetobacter species. In conclusion, animals can be a potential reservoir for A. baumannii and the dissemination of new emerging carbapenemases. The roles of the novel animal clones identified in community-acquired infections should be investigated. 相似文献

The taxonomic position of 23 strains isolated from mineral waters and previously grouped in the authentic pseudomonads on the basis of a phenotypic analysis (cluster IX, subclusters XIIIa and XIIIc of VERHILLE, S., ELOMARI, M., COROLER, L., IZARD, D., LECLERC, H. (Syst. Appl. Microbiol, 20, 137-149, 1997) has been genotypically further studied in the present work. On the basis of hybridization results, these strains were gathered into two new genomic groups for which we propose the names of Pseudomonas jessenii sp. nov. (Type strain CIP 105274) and Pseudomonas mandelii sp. nov. (Type strain CIP 105273). Deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness levels showed homologies ranging from 78 to 100% for Pseudomonas jessenii and from 77 to 100% for Pseudomonas mandelii. Furthermore, hybrization rates with 66 representative well characterized species or only partially characterized species of the genus Pseudomonas were below 53%, with delta Tm values of 7 degrees C and more. The mol% G + C content ranged from 57 to 58. The two new species presented basic morphological characteristics common to all pseudomonads. Various phenotypic features, such as denitrification, growth at 4 degrees C or 41 degrees C, trigonelline assimilation, alpha-L-glutamyl-L-histidine arylarmidase activity, growth on benzoate and meso-tartrate were found to differentiate Pseudomonas jessenii from Pseudomonas mandelii and from other Pseudomonas species. Pseudomonas jessenii encompassed a total of 9 strains from both phenotypic groups IX and XIIIa. Pseudomonas mandelii clustered a total of 13 strains from both phenotypic groups IX and XIIIc. Their clinical significance is unknown. The 16S rDNA of each type strain was sequenced and compared with the known sequences of the representative strains of the genus Pseudomonas. A phylogenetic tree was constructed to determine the intrageneric relationships within the genus Pseudomonas. 相似文献

This study analyzed 42 Acinetobacter baumannii strains collected between 2009–2012 from different hospitals in Beyrouth and North Lebanon to better understand the epidemiology and carbapenem resistance mechanisms in our collection and to compare the robustness of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) and bla
OXA-51 sequence-based typing (SBT). Among 31 carbapenem resistant strains, we have detected three carbapenem resistance genes: 28 carried the bla
OXA-23 gene, 1 the bla
OXA-24 gene and 2 strains the bla
OXA-58 gene. This is the first detection of bla
OXA-23 and bla
OXA-24 in Lebanon. PFGE identified 11 types and was the most discriminating technique followed by rep-PCR (9 types), bla
OXA-51 SBT (8 types) and MLST (7 types). The PFGE type A''/ST2 was the dominant genotype in our collection present in Beyrouth and North Lebanon. The clustering agreement between all techniques was measured by adjust Wallace coefficient. An overall agreement has been demonstrated. High values of adjust Wallace coefficient were found with followed combinations: PFGE to predict MLST types = 100%, PFGE to predict bla
OXA-51 SBT = 100%, bla
OXA-51 SBT to predict MLST = 100%, MLST to predict bla
OXA-51 SBT = 84.7%, rep-PCR to predict MLST = 81.5%, PFGE to predict rep-PCR = 69% and rep-PCR to predict bla
OXA-51 SBT = 67.2%. PFGE and MLST are gold standard methods for outbreaks investigation and population structure studies respectively. Otherwise, these two techniques are technically, time and cost demanding. We recommend the use of bla
OXA-51 SBT as first typing method to screen isolates and assign them to their corresponding clonal lineages. Repetitive sequence-based PCR is a rapid tool to access outbreaks but careful interpretation of results must be always performed. 相似文献

BackgroundIntestinal protozoan infections are confirmed as major causes of diarrhea, particularly in children, and represent a significant, but often neglected, threat to public health. No recent data were available in Lebanon concerning the molecular epidemiology of protozoan infections in children, a vulnerable population at high risk of infection.ConclusionsThis is the first study performed in Lebanon reporting the prevalence and the clinical and molecular epidemiological data associated with intestinal protozoan infections among schoolchildren in Tripoli. A high prevalence of protozoan parasites was found, with Blastocystis spp. being the most predominant protozoans. Although only 50% of children reported digestive symptoms, asymptomatic infection was observed, and these children may act as unidentified carriers. This survey provides necessary information for designing prevention and control strategies to reduce the burden of these protozoan infections, especially in children. 相似文献
