[Extraction and characterization of the lipopolysaccharide of Bartonella quintana]

Bartonella quintana has been reported as the cause of trench fever, persistent endocarditis, bacteriaemia and has been isolated with an increasing incidence in clinical specimens from AIDS patients. One of the main pathogenic factors of gram-negative bacteria, including B. quintana, is the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, very little information is available on the features of Bartonella LPS. The aim of the present study was to extract, purify and characterise B. quintana LPS. The effect of the LPS under scrutiny was also evaluated on TNFa release by means of the "in vitro" human whole blood model of sepsis. The Oklahoma strain of B. quintana was grown on sheep blood agar, at 37 C, in a moist atmosphere containing 5% carbon dioxide. Cells were harvested and washed in sterile and apyrogenic saline solution and LPS extracted following the procedure of Westphal e Jann (1965), modified by Minnick (1994). The LPS of B. quintana showed the migration pattern of a deep rough chemotype, and the chromogenic limulus amoebocyte lysate test (LAL test) revealed strong reactivity at low concentrations (6.2 pg/ml). Samples of human whole blood stimulated by 1000 ng/ml of B. quintana LPS released 1707 378 pg/ml of TNFa.

[Nosocomial sepsis due to Ochrobactrum anthropi in HIV positive patients: two case reports]

[Article in Italian]

The first two case reports of nosocomial Ochrobactrum anthropi septicemia occurring in patients with HIV disease are presented, and discussed in light of recent evidence of non-fermenting gran-negative bacilli as emerging pathogens in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. Among patients with advanced HIV infection, O. anthropi septicemia may occur even when certain presumed risk factors (notably indwelling catheters and instrumentation) are lacking, while a low CD4+ lymphocyte count, neutropenia, and concurrent AIDS-related complications may act as predisposing conditions. Despite its low intrinsic pathogenicity, O. anthropi should be taken into consideration by both microbiologists and clinicians, due to its cumbersome identification procedures, its prevailing nosocomial occurrence, and its unpredictable antibiotic susceptibility pattern.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a clinical syndrome in which the precipitating factors are unclear. An association between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and IPF had previously been suggested using serology and immunohistochemistry. This study sought confirmation of the presence of EBV DNA in the lung tissue of patients with IPF. Lung tissue obtained surgically from 27 patients with IPF and 28 control subjects was investigated for the presence of EBV by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Immunohistochemistry used antibodies specific for EBV lytic cycle antigens (gp340/220 and VCA). Nested PCR analysis used oligonucleotide primers specific for EBV and was sensitive to one copy of EBV DNA. Twelve of the 27 patients with IPF (44%) and three of the 28 control subjects (10%) were EBV positive by immunohistochemistry (p = 0.005). Thirteen of the patients with IPF (48%) and four of the control subjects (14%) were EBV positive by PCR (p = 0.007). Eleven of the patients with IPF (41%) and none of the control subjects were EBV positive by both immunohistochemistry and PCR (p = < 0.001). These data further suggest an association between EBV and IPF. In addition it defines a novel method for detecting EBV in lung tissue. EBV may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease; however, further studies are required to establish a causal relationship.

Positive blood cultures in sickle cell disease: time to positivity and clinical outcome.

PURPOSE: To prospectively identify all cases of bacteremia in children with sickle cell disease (SCD), establish time to positivity for various microorganisms, correlate clinical findings with microbiology data, and determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of the pneumococcal isolates. METHODS: All positive blood cultures from children with SCD followed at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from January 1993 through May 2001 were included. Isolates were classified as pathogen or contaminant. Demographic and clinical information was abstracted from the medical records. Time to positivity and antibiotic resistance data were generated in the microbiology laboratory. RESULTS: One hundred forty-one positive blood culture bottles were obtained during distinct febrile episodes. Thirty-nine percent contained pathogens and 61% contained contaminants. The average time to positivity was 17.1 hours in the pathogen group and 29.5 hours in the contaminant group (P < 0.0001). Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common pathogen (42% of total), with a mean patient age of 3.5 years. Gram-negative rods were the second most common organism (28% of total), with a mean patient age of 8.1 years. Thirty-one percent of the pneumococcal isolates were resistant to penicillin. Thirty-five percent of the pneumococcal isolates grew from children with a focus of infection. Acute chest syndrome was noted in 26% of patients with a positive blood culture for S. pneumoniae. Sixty-seven percent of Salmonella isolates and 50% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates grew from patients who developed osteomyelitis. CONCLUSIONS: The average time to positivity for pathogens can be used in conjunction with other factors to determine the length of observation required for children with SCD who present with febrile illness. Chest radiographs should be obtained on children with SCD who are bacteremic with S. pneumoniae. Bone scans should be obtained on children with SCD who are bacteremic with Salmonella or S. aureus.

Downy mildew is one of the most destructive diseases of maize in subtropical and tropical regions in Asia. As a prerequisite for improving downy mildew resistance in maize, we analyzed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in resistance to the important downy mildew pathogens--Peronosclerospora sorghi (sorghum downy mildew) and P. heteropogoni (Rajasthan downy mildew) in India, P. maydis (Java downy mildew) in Indonesia, P. zeae in Thailand and P. philippinensis in the Philippines--using a recombinant inbred line population derived from a cross between Ki3 (downy mildew resistant) and CML139 (susceptible). Resistance was evaluated as percentage disease incidence in replicated field trials at five downy mildew 'hotspots' in the four countries. Heritability estimates of individual environments ranged from 0.58 to 0.75 with an across environment heritability of 0.50. Composite interval mapping was applied for QTL detection using a previously constructed restriction fragment length polymorphism linkage map. The investigation resulted in the identification of six genomic regions on chromosomes 1, 2, 6, 7 and 10 involved in the resistance to the downy mildews under study, explaining, in total, 26-57% of the phenotypic variance for disease response. Most QTL alleles conferring resistance to the downy mildews were from Ki3. All QTLs showed significant QTL x environment interactions, suggesting that the expression of the QTL may be environment-dependent. A strong QTL on chromosome 6 was stable across environments, significantly affecting disease resistance at the five locations in four Asian countries. Simple-sequence repeat markers tightly linked to this QTL were identified for potential use in marker-assisted selection.

Beautiful, dense hair is a dream for many people. Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been developed. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution that can address all hair loss cases. Another problem is that most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large group of people who take it as suggested. Although personal experiences and anecdotal evidences indicate that it works, we still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. R & D costs dearly, and no one would afford to research complex herbal ingredients, which are often not patentable at all because they are made by mother nature.
