The Group B Streptococcus (GBS, Streptococcus agalactiae) is an important cause of neonatal and maternal infection. GBS is a commensal organism of the lower gastrointestinal and
vaginal tract. A frequent mode of neonatal infection is vertical transmission from pregnant women to their foetus or neonate.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and biofilm production of 10 GBS strains in simulated vaginal fluid at
pH 4.2, 5.5 and 6.5. GBS survived longer at higher pH than at normal vaginal pH. At pH 4.2, with the exception of two isolates
that were recovered up to 48 and 72 h, viable GBS numbers declined below the limit of detection by 24 h. At higher pH, GBS
survived between 3 and 15 days. All isolates investigated were biofilm producers but biofilm production was greater in tryptone
soy broth compared to simulated vaginal fluid. The quantity of biofilm produced increased with the rise in the pH. This study
suggests that high vaginal pH may influence both GBS survival and biofilm production and thus could be a risk factor for GBS
infection. 相似文献

The female genital tract (FGT) harbors very large numbers of bacterial species that are known to play an important role on
vaginal health. Previous studies have focused on bacterial diversity in the vagina, but little is known about the ectocervical
microbiota associated with FGT infections. In our study, vaginal swabs and ectocervical swabs were collected from 100 participants
in China, including 30 women with bacterial vaginosis (BV; BV group), 22 women with cervicitis (Cer group), 18 women with
BV in combination with cervicitis (BC group) and 30 healthy control women (CN group). The diversity and richness of cervicovaginal
microbiota were investigated with culture-independent polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
(DGGE) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting 11 microorganisms that have been associated with FGT infections. Despite significant
interpersonal variations, the PCR-DGGE profiles revealed that vaginal microbiota and ectocervical microbiota were clearly
much more complex in the BV group, while the ectocervical microbiota showed no significant difference between healthy and
diseased participants. Using species-specific qPCR, BV and cervicitis were significantly associated with a dramatic decrease
in Lactobacillus species ( p < 0.05), and potential pathogenic species such as Gardnerella, Atopobium, Eggerthella, Leptotrichia/ Sneathia, and Prevotella were more common and in higher copy numbers in BV than in CN samples ( p values ranged from 0.000 to 0.021). No significant differences were observed between healthy and cervicitis samples ( p > 0.05) in ectocervical microbiota. The total numbers of bacteria were significantly lower in the ectocervix as compared
in the vagina ( p < 0.05). Intriguingly, vaginal microbiota from participants with BV in combination with cervicitis was quite different from
that of participants with BV or cervicitis alone. Our study demonstrated that the cervicovaginal microbiota was actively involved
in the process of FGT infections. The predominant bacteria of the cervicovaginal communities were clearly associated with
BV; however, there was not sufficient evidence that the ectocervical microbiota is directly involved in the development of
cervicitis. 相似文献

Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a Gram-positive bacterium found in the female rectovaginal tract and is capable of producing severe disease in susceptible hosts, including newborns and pregnant women. The vaginal tract is considered a major reservoir for GBS, and maternal vaginal colonization poses a significant risk to the newborn; however, little is known about the specific bacterial factors that promote GBS colonization and persistence in the female reproductive tract. We have developed in vitro models of GBS interaction with the human female cervicovaginal tract using human vaginal and cervical epithelial cell lines. Analysis of isogenic mutant GBS strains deficient in cell surface organelles such as pili and serine-rich repeat (Srr) proteins shows that these factors contribute to host cell attachment. As Srr proteins are heavily glycosylated, we confirmed that carbohydrate moieties contribute to the effective interaction of Srr-1 with vaginal epithelial cells. Antibody inhibition assays identified keratin 4 as a possible host receptor for Srr-1. Our findings were further substantiated in an in vivo mouse model of GBS vaginal colonization, where mice inoculated with an Srr-1-deficient mutant exhibited decreased GBS vaginal persistence compared to those inoculated with the wild-type (WT) parental strain. Furthermore, competition experiments in mice showed that WT GBS exhibited a significant survival advantage over the ΔpilA or Δsrr-1 mutant in the vaginal tract. Our results suggest that these GBS surface proteins contribute to vaginal colonization and may offer new insights into the mechanisms of vaginal niche establishment. 相似文献

Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a commensal bacterium of the human gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts as well as a leading cause of neonatal sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis. Maternal vaginal carriage is the main source for GBS transmission and thus the most important risk factor for neonatal disease. Several studies in eukaryotes identified a group of proteins natural resistance‐associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) that function as divalent cation transporters for Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ and confer on macrophages the ability to control replication of bacterial pathogens. Genome sequencing predicted potential NRAMP homologues in several prokaryotes. Here we describe for the first time, a pH‐regulated NRAMP Mn 2+/Fe 2+ transporter in GBS, designated MntH, which confers resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is crucial for bacterial growth and survival under low pH conditions. Our investigation implicates MntH as an important colonization determinant for GBS in the maternal vagina as it helps bacteria to adapt to the harsh acidic environment, facilitates bacterial adherence, contributes to the coexistence with the vaginal microbiota and plays a role in GBS intracellular survival inside macrophages. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of vaginal group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization in pregnant women from Osijek area, the possible effect of GBS colonization on pregnancy outcome and neonatal complications and the role of intrapartum prophylaxis in this context. This retrospective case-control study took place at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Osijek University Hospital Center from December 2003 to June 2006. A total of 118 pregnant women was enrolled in study and divided into two groups: 59 women in 35th-37th week of gestation, free from risk factors for infection (control group); and 59 women in 25th-41st week of gestation with risk factors for infection. Low vaginal swab for GBS isolation and identification on selective and enriched medium was obtained from each woman. GBS colonization was recorded in 29 (24.6%) women: 12 (20.3%) control and 17 (28.8%) women at risk of infection, yielding a statistically non-significant difference (Chi2 = 1.480489; p < 0.48). Early neonatal infection was observed in six (20.7%) neonates born to 29 mothers with GBS colonization, pointing to a correlation between vaginal GBS colonization and early neonatal infection (r(s) = 0.99). Early perinatal infection was found in 22 (18.6%) neonates, including 17 (28.8%) pregnancies with risk factors, pointing to a significant correlation between vaginal GBS colonization, risk factors and early perinatal infection (Chi2 = 88.68; p < 0.001); however, gestational age and pregnancy outcome were not influenced by GBS colonization. In eight (36.4%) newborns, early neonatal infection developed in spite of intrapartum administration of antibiotics; three of these children were born to GBS positive mothers, and perinatal GBS infection was demonstrated in one (0.84%) child. Study results revealed a relatively high rate of GBS colonization in the population of pregnant women in Croatia, occasionally leading to early neonatal infection. Large studies are needed to develop national strategy for the prevention of GBS infection in Croatia. 相似文献

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is associated with gastrointestinal disease, systemic immune activation and changes in the gut microbiota. Here, we aim to investigate the gut microbiota patterns of HIV‐infected individuals and HIV‐uninfected individuals in populations from South China. We enrolled 33 patients with HIV (14 participants treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy [HAART] for more than 3 months; the remaining 19 individuals had not received treatment) and 35 healthy controls (HC) for a cross‐sectional comparison of gut microbiota using stool samples. Gut microbial communities were profiled by sequencing the bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Dysbiosis was more common among patients with AIDS compared with healthy individuals. Dysbiosis was characterized by decreased α‐diversity, low mean counts of Bacteroidetes, Faecalibacterium, Prevotella, Bacteroides vulgatus, Dialister and Roseburia inulnivorans, and high mean counts of Proteobacteria, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Lachnociostridium, Ruminococcus gnavus and Streptococcus vestibularis. Increased abundance of Bacilli was observed in homosexual patients. Proteobacteria were higher among heterosexual patients with HIV infections. Tenericutes were higher among patients with history of intravenous drug abuse. Restoration of gut microbiota diversity and a significant increase in abundance of Faecalibacterium, Blautia and Bacteroides were found in patients receiving HAART compared to those who did not receive. HIV infection‐associated dysbiosis is characterized by decreased levels of α‐diversity and Bacteroidetes, increased levels of Proteobacteria and the alterations of gut microbiota correlate with the route of HIV transmission. The imbalanced faecal microbiota of HIV infection is partially restored after therapy. 相似文献

Understanding of microbial communities inhabiting cattle vaginal tract may lead to a better comprehension of bovine physiology and reproductive health being of great economic interest. Up to date, studies involving cattle microbiota are focused on the gastrointestinal tract, and little is known about the vaginal microbiota. This study aimed to investigate the vaginal microbiome in Nellore cattle, heifers and cows, pregnant and non-pregnant, using a culture independent approach. The main bacterial phyla found were Firmicutes (~40–50%), Bacteroidetes (~15–25%) and Proteobacteria (~5–25%), in addition to ~10–20% of non-classified bacteria. 45–55% of the samples were represented by only ten OTUs: Aeribacillus, Bacteroides, Clostridium, Ruminococcus, Rikenella, Alistipes, Bacillus, Eubacterium, Prevotella and non-classified bacteria. Interestingly, microbiota from all 20 animals could be grouped according to the respiratory metabolism of the main OTUs found, creating three groups of vaginal microbiota in cattle. Archaeal samples were dominated by the Methanobrevibacter genus ( Euryarchaeota, ~55–70%). Ascomycota was the main fungal phylum (~80–95%) and Mycosphaerella the most abundant genus (~70–85%). Hormonal influence was not clear, but a tendency for the reduction of bacterial and increase of archaeal populations in pregnant animals was observed. Eukaryotes did not vary significantly between pregnant and non-pregnant animals, but tended to be more abundant on cows than on heifers. The present work describes a great microbial variability in the vaginal community among the evaluated animals and groups (heifers and cows, pregnant and non-pregnant), which is significantly different from the findings previously reported using culture dependent methods, pointing out the need for further studies on this issue. The microbiome found also indicates that the vaginal colonization appears to be influenced by the gastrointestinal community. 相似文献

Several studies have suggested the association of disturbed genital tract microbiota with infertility. Our aim was to clarify the influence of sexual intercourse on partner’s genital tract microbiota in infertile couples. Seventeen couples were studied, and in 5 men inflammatory prostatitis (IP) was diagnosed. Semen samples were collected during menstruation of the female counterpart, two self-collected vaginal samples were taken 3–5 days later – before intercourse and 8–12 h after intercourse. Ureaplasma parvum was found in 59% of women, its prevalence was higher in women whose partner had IP, as well as in half of their male partners. Sexual intercourse caused significant shifts in vaginal microbiota – increase of Nugent score and shifts in cultured microbiota (emergence and disappearance of several species). These changes were less expressed in the presence of normal vaginal microbiota but more prominent in the partners of IP men. These changes may interfere with fertilization. 相似文献

Group B streptococci (GBS) are bacterial species that colonize the vagina in pregnant women and as such may cause serious
infections in neonates that passed through the birth channel. The objective of this work was to study the inhibitory activities
produced by each bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus L60 and Lactobacillus fermentum L23, and the effects of the combined BLIS-es of these lactobacilli on GBS. The interactions between the BLIS-es were assessed
by qualitative and quantitative methods on agar plates. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and fractional inhibitory
concentrations (FICs) were determined by a modification of the broth microdilution and checkerboard methods, respectively.
Antibiotic susceptibilities of all S. agalactiae strains were assayed and the results of these tests were evaluated for statistical significance. A 7.5% of GBS isolates were
recovered from 760 pregnant women and 91% of those strains were susceptible to each BLIS produced by L. fermentum,
L. rhamnosus, and also to a mixture of them. The comparisons among the BLIS-es showed statistically significant differences, with a combination
of the BLIS-es from the two Lactobacillus species being better than the BLIS of each one alone ( P < 0.05) as GBS growth inhibitors. Synergistic activities between the BLIS-es were found on 100% of susceptible GBS strains,
MICs ranges of BLIS of L23 and L60 were 80–160 and 160–320 UA ml −1, respectively. By the checkerboard method, the BLIS-es combination showed synergistic effect on all sensitive strains tested,
with values of FICs ranging from 0.131 to 0.218. The BLIS-es produced by these lactobacilli of vaginal origin were able to
inhibit S. agalactiae isolates. The results indicate that these strains may have probiotic potential for the control of GBS in women and may consequently
prevent GBS infections in newborns. 相似文献

This study aimed to detect differences in the richness of total supragingival plaque microbiota as well as the species composition
of oral streptococci involved in the different stages of dental caries. Forty-five plaque samples were collected from caries-moderate
(CM, 4 ≤ dmfs ≤ 6), caries-susceptible (CS, dmfs ≥ 10), and age-matched caries-free children separately. Total DNA was isolated
directly from each sample, and polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analyses using
universal and primers specific for oral streptococci were carried out. Using 16S rDNA PCR-DGGE, 34 different species of bacteria
were identified in a culture-independent manner and classified into 11 genera according to phylogenetic analysis. Among them,
Mitis group streptococci and Campylobacter, which were present in health status, no longer appeared in caries-susceptible samples. In addition, Capnocytophaga, Burkholderia, and Prevotella were found significantly less frequently in the CS group samples ( P < 0.05), while there were no significant differences among the prevalence of Neisseria, Leptotrichia, Haemophilus, Mutans group streptococci, Corynebacterium, and Actinomyces in the three groups. Further DGGE analysis of rnpB gene amplicons obtained with oral streptococci species-specific primers showed that a total of 23 species of oral streptococci
were identified. Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus oralis showed a significantly higher prevalence in healthy children ( P < 0.05), while that of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus did not vary among the three groups. Overall, these results suggest that supragingival plaque microbiota as a whole undergoes
a more complicated shift in the caries process. 相似文献

Group B streptococci (GBS) are the leading cause of neonatal meningitis and sepsis worldwide. Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis
(IAP) is the current prevention strategy given to pregnant women with confirmed vaginal GBS colonization. Due to antibiotic
resistance identified in GBS, we previously developed another strategy using a bacteriophage lytic enzyme, PlyGBS, to reduce
vaginal GBS colonization. In this study, various DNA mutagenesis methods were explored to produce PlyGBS mutants with increased
lytic activity against GBS. Several hyperactive mutants were identified that contain only the endopeptidase domain found in
the N-terminal region of PlyGBS and represent only about one-third of the wild-type PlyGBS in length. Significantly, these
mutants not only have 18–28-fold increases in specific activities compared to PlyGBS, but they also have a similar activity
spectrum against several streptococcal species. One of the hyperactive mutants, PlyGBS90-1, reduced the GBS colonization from
>5 logs of growth per mouse to <50 colony-forming units (cfu) 4 h post treatment (∼4-log reduction) using a single dose in
a mouse vaginal model. A reduction in GBS colonization before delivery should significantly reduce neonatal GBS infection
providing a safe alternative to IAP. 相似文献

Distribution of serotypes and alpha-like surface protein (Alp) of Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococci - GBS) vary with geographical region, ethnic origin and the virulence of clinical isolates. Demonstration of different genotypes based on surface protein genes improves the potential of GBS subtyping, is essential in research on new vaccines against invasive neonatal infections and may be useful in epidemiological studies. The molecular characterization of protein gene profile of GBS isolates was the main aim of this study. We evaluated the applicability of multiplex PCR for the identification of GBS protein genes from Alp family, such as: epsilon, bca, rib, alp2, alp3, alp4 and evaluated presence of these genes in the group of GBS isolates originating from vaginal or rectal carriage in pregnant women. For statistical analysis the G2 (Likelihood ratio) test was used. P values of < 0.05 were considered significant. The surface protein genes were found in all investigated strains. The epsilon gene dominated (27%) in GBS isolates originating from healthy pregnant women. The other genes were detected with the following frequency: rib (21%), alp2 (21%), bca (17%) and alp3 (14%). In the analyzed population, GBS strains with alp4 gene were not found. A statistically significant relationship between surface protein genes and capsular polysaccharides was demonstrated (p < 0.0001). The results of our study show immense diagnostic usefulness of multiplex PCR for identification of genes encoding GBS surface proteins from Alp family. 相似文献

Background:One of the main causes of sexually transmitted diseases is group B β- hemolytic streptococci (GBS) multiplying in the genital tracts. Penicillin is the most common drug for the treatment of infections caused by these bacteria, but in patients suffering from Penicillin allergy, Erythromycin and Clindamycin are used as alternative therapeutic drugs against GBS. Recently, resistance to these drugs has been reported more often. In this study, efforts have been made to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of GBS. Methods:Modified Christie Atkins Munch-Petersen (CAMP) test was conducted on over 2400 samples of urine and discharge taken from vagina, urethra and prostate. The drug sensitivity was performed by double disk sensitivity tests to Bacitracin, Trimethoprim, and Sulfamethoxazole and then the resistant samples were investigated by E-test to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) value. Results:Twenty-three vaginal and 10 urethral discharge, 27urine and 6 prostatic secretion samples were GBS positive. The most symbiotic microorganisms with GBS were strains of Enterococci (90%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (25%) and Candida albicans (6%). The disk diffusion method showed 18 cases with Penicillin resistance (MIC: 1.5 mg/ml). Conclusion:Taken together, GBS carriers’ rate in this study was found 20.65% (8.24% men and 12.4% women). Furthermore, findings showed high-level resistance to Erythromycin and Clindamycin.Key Words: Antibiotic resistance, Genitourinary system, Streptococcus agalactiae, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) 相似文献
