The locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE) is the virulence hallmark of the attaching-and-effacing (A/E) intestinal pathogens, namely, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterohemorrhagic E. coli, and Citrobacter rodentium. The LEE carries more than 40 genes that are arranged in several operons, e.g., LEE1 to LEE5. Expression of the various transcriptional units is subject to xenogeneic silencing by the histone-like protein H-NS. The LEE1-encoded regulator, Ler, plays a key role in relieving this repression at several major LEE promoters, including LEE2 to LEE5. To achieve appropriate intracellular concentrations of Ler in different environments, A/E pathogens have evolved a sophisticated regulatory network to control ler expression. For example, the LEE-encoded GrlA and GrlR proteins work as activator and antiactivator, respectively, of ler transcription. Thus, control of the transcriptional activities of the LEE1 (ler) promoter and the grlRA operon determines the rate of transcription of all of the LEE-encoded virulence factors. To date, only a single promoter has been identified for the grlRA operon. In this study, we showed that the non-LEE-encoded AraC-like regulatory protein RegA of C. rodentium directly stimulates transcription of the grlRA promoter by binding to an upstream region in the presence of bicarbonate ions. In addition, in vivo and in vitro transcription assays revealed a [[sigma].sup.70] promoter that is specifically responsible for transcription of grlA. Expression from this promoter was strongly repressed by H-NS and its paralog StpA but was activated by Ler. DNase I footprinting demonstrated that Let binds to a region upstream of the grlA promoter, whereas H-NS interacts specifically with a region extending from the grlA core promoter into its coding sequence. Together, these findings provide new insights into the environmental regulation and differential expressions of the grlR and grlA genes of C. rodentium. doi: 10.1128/JB.01540-09

ASCARIS lumbricoides , *POTASSIUM dichromate , *HELMINTHS , *POLYMERASE chain reaction , *WORKFLOW , *DEFECATION - Abstract
Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infect up to one-quarter of the global population, with a significant associated disease burden. The main human STH are: Ancylostoma spp. and Necator americanus (hookworms); Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Strongyloides stercoralis. The aim of this study was to establish a scalable system for stool STH multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qPCR). Stool samples collected in Fiji and preserved in potassium dichromate were transferred to Melbourne at ambient temperature. Samples were washed to remove potassium dichromate and DNA was extracted with the Mini-Beadbeater-24 and a column-based kit. A SYBR green qPCR to detect the vertebrate mitochondrial gene was used as a DNA extraction control. Samples were tested using a probe-based multiplex qPCR targeting A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura and S. stercoralis, and in a second multiplex reaction to detect hookworms to the species level (A. duodenale, A. ceylanicum, N. americanus). An internal amplification control in both multiplex assays was included to prevent false-negative results due to PCR inhibitors. Samples were homogenised for a single cycle of 40 seconds to release STH DNA and washed stool was stored for up to 15 weeks at -30°C without compromising DNA. Our multiplex qPCR detected multiple species of STH without reduced sensitivity compared to singleplex. qPCR data from 40 stools was validated against STH-positive stools determined by microscopy. We have developed and validated an efficient and staged system for detecting six clinically important STH affecting humans that could be easily implemented without advanced automation in any qPCR-capable laboratory.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is primarily a progressive lung disease, characterized by chronic pulmonary infections with opportunistic pathogens. Such infections typically commence early in life, producing an inflammatory response marked by IL‐8 chemokine production and neutrophilic infiltration, major contributory factors in CF progression. Studying this inflammation, especially early in life, is critical for developing new strategies for preventing or slowing disruption to the structural integrity of the CF airways. However, evaluating the immune responses of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from children with CF faces technical challenges, including contamination carried from the lung due to pre‐existing infections and low cell number availability. Here, we describe a technique for preparing BAL cells from young children with CF and using those cells in a bacterial stimulation assay. Initial antibiotic treatment proved essential for preventing resident bacteria from overgrowing BAL cell cultures, or non‐specifically activating the cells. ACTB, identified as an optimal reference gene, was validated for accurate analysis of gene expression in these cells. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were used as bacterial stimulants to evaluate the immune response of BAL cells from young children with CF. Addition of gentamicin prevented bacterial overgrowth, although if added after 3 hours of culture an extremely variable response resulted, with the bacteria causing a suppressive effect in some cultures. Addition of gentamicin after 1 hour of culture completely prevented this suppressive effect. This technique was then able to reproducibly measure the IL‐8 response to stimulation with S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, including co‐stimulation with both bacteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Background Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) is a prominent cause of diarrhoea, and is characterised in part by its carriage of a pathogenicity island: the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE). EPEC is divided into two subtypes according to the presence of bundle-forming pili (BFP), a fimbrial adhesin that is a virulence determinant of typical EPEC (tEPEC), but is absent from atypical EPEC (aEPEC). Because aEPEC lack BFP, their virulence has been questioned, as they may represent LEE-positive Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) that have lost the toxin-encoding prophage, or tEPEC that have lost the genes for BFP. To determine if aEPEC isolated from humans in Australia or New Zealand fall into either of these categories, we undertook phylogenetic analysis of 75 aEPEC strains, and compared them with reference strains of EPEC and STEC. We also used PCR and DNA hybridisation to determine if aEPEC carry virulence determinants that could compensate for their lack of BFP. Results The results showed that aEPEC are highly heterogeneous. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that 61 of 75 aEPEC strains did not belong to known tEPEC or STEC clades, and of those that did, none expressed an O:H serotype that is frequent in tEPEC or STEC strains associated with disease. PCR for each of 18 known virulence-associated determinants of E. coli was positive in less than 15% of strains, apart from NleB which was detected in 30%. Type I fimbriae were expressed by all aEPEC strains, and 12 strains hybridised with DNA probes prepared from either bfpA or bfpB despite being negative in the PCR for bfpA. Conclusion Our findings indicate that clinical isolates of aEPEC obtained from patients in Australia or New Zealand are not derived from tEPEC or STEC, and suggest that functional equivalents of BFP and possibly type I fimbriae may contribute to the virulence of some aEPEC strains.

Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) is a common cause of diarrhea in children in low- and middle-income countries, and in travelers to these countries. ETEC is also an important cause of morbidity and premature mortality in piglets, calves, goat kids and lambs. The major virulence determinants of ETEC are enterotoxins and colonization factors, which enable the pathogen to colonize the small intestine and deliver enterotoxins, such as the heat-stable enterotoxins, STp and STh, to epithelial cells. Because most ETEC strains are host-specific, there are few convenient animal models to investigate the pathogenesis of ETEC infections or to evaluate specific anti-ETEC interventions, such as drugs and vaccines. An exception is ETEC strains bearing F41 pili, which mediate intestinal colonization of various young animals, including neonatal mice, to cause disease and in some cases death. In this study, we used the archetypal F41-producing bovine ETEC strain, B41 (O101:NM; K99, F41, STp) to validate and further explore the contribution of F41 and STp to bacterial virulence. By using targeted gene deletion and trans-complementation studies, augmented by whole genome sequencing, and in vitro and animal studies of virulence, we established that F41 mediates colonization of the mouse intestine and is essential for bacterial virulence. In addition, we showed for the first time that STp is as important as F41 for virulence. Together, these findings validate the use of neonatal mice to study the pathogenesis of F41-bearing ETEC and to investigate possible specific anti-ETEC interventions including vaccines that target heat-stable enterotoxins.

Abstract Background Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important cause of bloody diarrhoea (BD), non-bloody diarrhoea (NBD) and the haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). In Argentina and New Zealand, the most prevalent STEC serotype is O157:H7, which is responsible for the majority of HUS cases. In Australia, on the other hand, STEC O157:H7 is associated with a minority of HUS cases. The main aims of this study were to compare the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of STEC O157 strains isolated between 1993 and 1996 from humans in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, and to establish their clonal relatedness. Results Seventy-three O157 STEC strains, isolated from HUS (n = 36), BD (n = 20), NBD (n = 10), or unspecified conditions (n = 7) in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, were analysed. The strains were confirmed to be E. coli O157 by biochemical tests and serotyping. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the stx1, stx2 and rfbO157 genes and a genotyping method based on PCR-RFLP was used to determine stx1 and stx2 variants. This analysis revealed that the most frequent stx genotypes were stx2/stx2c (vh-a) (91%) in Argentina, stx2 (89%) in New Zealand, and stx1/stx2 (30%) in Australia. No stx1-postive strains were identified in Argentina or New Zealand. All strains harboured the eae gene and 72 strains produced enterohaemolysin (EHEC-Hly). The clonal relatedness of strains was investigated by phage typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The most frequent phage types (PT) identified in Argentinian, Australian, and New Zealand strains were PT49 (n = 12), PT14 (n = 9), and PT2 (n = 15), respectively. Forty-six different patterns were obtained by XbaI-PFGE; 37 strains were grouped in 10 clusters and 36 strains showed unique patterns. Most clusters could be further subdivided by BlnI-PFGE. Conclusion STEC O157 strains isolated in Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand differed from each other in terms of stx-genotype and phage type. Additionally, no common PFGE patterns were found in strains isolated in the three countries. International collaborative studies of the type reported here are needed to detect and monitor potentially hypervirulent STEC clones.

STREPTOCOCCUS pyogenes , *HUMAN experimentation , *STREPTOCOCCUS , *CURRENT good manufacturing practices , *VACCINATION - Abstract
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a highly-adapted and human-restricted pathogen responsible for a high global burden of disease across a diverse clinical spectrum. Vaccine development has been impeded by scientific, regulatory, and commercial obstacles. Human infection studies (HIS) are increasingly contributing to drug, diagnostics, and vaccine development, reducing uncertainty at early stages, especially for pathogens with animal models that incompletely reproduce key elements of human disease. We review the small number of historical GAS HIS and present the study protocol for a dose-ranging inpatient study in healthy adults. The primary objective of the study is to establish a new GAS pharyngitis HIS with an attack rate of at least 60% as a safe and reliable platform for vaccine evaluation and pathogenesis research. According to an adaptive dose-ranging study design, emm 75 GAS doses manufactured in keeping with principles of Good Manufacturing Practice will be directly applied by swab to the pharynx of carefully screened healthy adult volunteers at low risk of severe complicated GAS disease. Participants will remain as closely monitored inpatients for up to six days, observed for development of the primary outcome of acute symptomatic pharyngitis, as defined by clinical and microbiological criteria. All participants will be treated with antibiotics and followed as outpatients for six months. An intensive sampling schedule will facilitate extensive studies of host and organism dynamics during experimental pharyngitis. Ethics approval has been obtained and the study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03361163). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Scabies is a public health problem in many countries, with impetigo and its complications important consequences. Ivermectin based mass drug administration (MDA) reduces the prevalence of scabies and, to a lesser extent, impetigo. We studied the impact of co-administering azithromycin on the prevalence of impetigo and antimicrobial resistance. Methods Six communities were randomized to receive either ivermectin-based MDA or ivermectin-based MDA co-administered with azithromycin. We measured scabies and impetigo prevalence at baseline and 12 months. We collected impetigo lesions swabs at baseline, 3 and 12 months to detect antimicrobial resistance. Results At baseline, scabies and impetigo prevalences were 11.8% and 10.1% in the ivermectin-only arm and 9.2% and 12.1% in the combined treatment arm. At 12 months, the prevalences had fallen to 1.0% and 2.5% in the ivermectin-only arm and 0.7% and 3.3% in the combined treatment arm. The proportion of impetigo lesions containing Staphylococcus aureus detected did not change (80% at baseline vs 86% at 12 months; no significant difference between arms) but the proportion containing pyogenic streptococci fell significantly (63% vs 23%, P <.01). At 3 months, 53% (8/15) of S. aureus isolates were macrolide-resistant in the combined treatment arm, but no resistant strains (0/13) were detected at 12 months. Conclusions Co-administration of azithromycin with ivermectin led to similar decreases in scabies and impetigo prevalence compared to ivermectin alone. The proportion of impetigo lesions containing pyogenic streptococci declined following MDA. There was a transient increase in the proportion of macrolide-resistant S. aureus strains following azithromycin MDA. Clinical Trials Registration clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02775617).

Background Invasive group A Streptococcus (GAS) disease has an incidence in high-income countries of 3 to 5 per 100000 per annum and a case-fatality ratio of 10% to 15%. Although these rates are comparable to those of invasive meningococcal disease in Australia before vaccine introduction, invasive GAS disease currently requires reporting in only 2 jurisdictions. Methods Data were collected prospectively through active surveillance at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne (October 2014 to September 2016). Isolation of GAS from a sterile site was required for inclusion. Comprehensive demographic and clinical data were collected, and emm typing was performed on all isolates. Disease was considered severe if the patient required inotropic support or mechanical ventilation. Results We recruited 28 patients. The median age of the patients was 3.5 years (range, 4 days to 11 years). Ten (36%) patients had severe disease. Fifteen (54%) children had presented to a medical practitioner for review in the 48 hours before their eventual admission, including 7 of the 10 patients with severe GAS infection. Complications 6 months after discharge persisted in 21% of the patients. emm1 was the most common emm type (29%). Conclusion We found considerable short- and longer-term morbidity associated with pediatric invasive GAS disease in our study. Disease manifestations were frequently severe, and more than one-third of the patients required cardiorespiratory support. More than one-half of the patients attended a medical practitioner for assessment but were discharged in the 48-hour period before admission, which suggests that there might have been a window for earlier diagnosis. Our methodology was easy to implement as a surveillance system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common bacterial cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries, as well as in travelers to these countries. To cause disease, ETEC needs to produce a series of virulence proteins including enterotoxins, colonization factors and secretion pathways, which enable this pathogen to colonize the human small intestine and deliver enterotoxins to epithelial cells. Previously, a number of studies have demonstrated that CfaD, an AraC-like transcriptional regulator, plays a key role in virulence gene expression by ETEC. In this study, we carried out a transcriptomic analysis of ETEC strain, H10407, grown under different conditions, and determined the complete set of genes that are regulated by CfaD. In this way, we identified a number of new target genes, including rnr-1, rnr-2, etpBAC, agn43, flu, traM and ETEC_3214, whose expression is strongly activated by CfaD. Using promoter-lacZ reporters, primer extension and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we characterized the CfaD-mediated activation of several selected target promoters. We also showed that the gut-associated environmental signal, sodium bicarbonate, stimulates CfaD-mediated upregulation of its virulence target operons. Finally, we screened a commercial small molecule library and identified a compound (CH-1) that specifically inhibited the regulatory function of CfaD, and by 2-D analoging, we identified a second inhibitor (CH-2) with greater potency.

Abstract: ST-based lipopeptide vaccine candidates were constructed in which ST was chemically synthesized and folded into the correct conformation prior to ligation to a module containing a T-helper cell epitope (TH) and the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) agonist, S-[2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)propyl]cysteine (P2C). Two different chemistries, thioether-based and oxime-based, were then used to ligate ST to the lipidated TH epitope. The enterotoxic activity of synthetic ST and the ST-based lipopeptide vaccines was determined in mice followed by an evaluation of immunological efficacy. The importance of the fine detail in chemical composition used in vaccine design was demonstrated by the findings that (i) the oxime-based vaccine exhibited little or no toxicity but the thioether-based vaccine, exhibited residual toxicity in suckling mice, (ii) although each of the synthetic vaccines generated specific anti-ST antibodies, it was the low titer antibodies induced by the oxime-based vaccine that demonstrated better neutralizing activity suggesting that the chemical linkage also affects the specificity of antibodies, (iii) the geometric arrangement of ST within a vaccine can profoundly affect the specificity and biological function of the antibodies that are elicited, and (iv) the lipopeptide-based ST vaccine candidate assembled using oxime chemistry induced a better neutralizing antibody response to ST when administered by the mucosal (intranasal) route.

Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important cause of bloody diarrhoea (BD), non-bloody diarrhoea (NBD) and the haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). In Argentina and New Zealand, the most prevalent STEC serotype is O157:H7, which is responsible for the majority of HUS cases. In Australia, on the other hand, STEC O157:H7 is associated with a minority of HUS cases. The main aims of this study were to compare the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of STEC O157 strains isolated between 1993 and 1996 from humans in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, and to establish their clonal relatedness. Results: Seventy-three O157 STEC strains, isolated from HUS (n = 36), BD (n = 20), NBD (n = 10), or unspecified conditions (n = 7) in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, were analysed. The strains were confirmed to be E. coli O157 by biochemical tests and serotyping. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the stx1, stx2 and rfbO157 genes and a genotyping method based on PCR-RFLP was used to determine stx
1 and stx2 variants. This analysis revealed that the most frequent stx genotypes were stx2 /stx2c (vh-a) (91%) in Argentina, stx2 (89%) in New Zealand, and stx1 /stx2 (30%) in Australia. No stx1 -postive strains were identified in Argentina or New Zealand. All strains harboured the eae gene and 72 strains produced enterohaemolysin (EHEC-Hly). The clonal relatedness of strains was investigated by phage typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The most frequent phage types (PT) identified in Argentinian, Australian, and New Zealand strains were PT49 (n = 12), PT14 (n = 9), and PT2 (n = 15), respectively. Forty-six different patterns were obtained by XbaI-PFGE; 37 strains were grouped in 10 clusters and 36 strains showed unique patterns. Most clusters could be further subdivided by BlnI-PFGE. Conclusion: STEC O157 strains isolated in Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand differed from each other in terms of stx-genotype and phage type. Additionally, no common PFGE patterns were found in strains isolated in the three countries. International collaborative studies of the type reported here are needed to detect and monitor potentially hypervirulent STEC clones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Objectives: To determine whether ciprofloxacin retains its antimicrobial activity after storage with Healon at ambient temperature and at 37 degrees C over 5 weeks and then to establish whether the application of ciprofloxacin/Healon onto scala tympani electrode arrays reduces the risk of meningitis in implanted rats inoculated with S. pneumoniae.Study Design: In vitro laboratory and in vivo animal studiesMethods: The antibacterial activity of three concentrations of ciprofloxacin/Healon (7.5, 75, and 750 microg/mL) was examined over 5 weeks at both ambient temperature (23 degrees C) and body temperature (37 degrees C). Thirty-six rats (18 implanted with ciprofloxacin [750 mg/mL]/Healon-coated electrode array and 18 without the coating) were infected with S. pneumoniae 4 weeks after implantation by way of three different routes of infection (hematogenous, middle ear, and inner ear) and observed for the development of meningitis.Results: The antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin/Healon was maintained over 5 weeks at both 23 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The implanted rats with the ciprofloxacin/Healon-coated electrode array were protected from meningitis when the bacteria were given by way of the hematogenous route (Fisher's exact test, P = .008) but not when the bacteria were inoculated directly into the middle or inner ear. However, the time to develop meningitis was significantly longer in rats implanted with a coated array, irrespective of the route of inoculation (P < .05, log rank test).Conclusion: Our animal model demonstrated that a ciprofloxacin-coated electrode array can protect healthy implanted rats from meningitis when the route of infection is hematogenous and can delay the onset of meningitis when bacteria are inoculated directly into the middle or inner ear.

Since their discovery by Bangham and coworkers almost four decades ago, liposomes have become models for biomembranes and vehicles for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and cosmetic agents. One of the advantages of using liposomes as a drug vehicle is their ability for slow release, thus reducing dosage, localizing a drug, and minimizing its side-effects. Antibiotic resistance is a growing global problem, including for ocular bacterial infection by Staphylococcus aureus, where time is an important parameter that determines the severity of infection. This situation has prompted the pursuit of ways to prepare drug-encapsulating liposomes that enable bulk release of the drug chloramphenicol (CAP) once the liposomal structure is perturbed. Our approach is a two-step process: first, to characterize the interaction of CAP with model biomembranes of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) used to prepare CAP-liposomes by different formulations; second, to test the efficiency of these formulation against S. aureus. Solid-state NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, and infrared spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of CAP with DMPC bilayers. The minimum inhibitory concentrations and time-kill curves for S. aureus using different liposomal preparations were compared. Evidence of conformational changes in the DMPC molecules and the effectiveness of the CAP encapsulated in liposomes are reported. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 97:2691–2701, 2008 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The technology described here allows the chemical synthesis of vaccines requiring correctly folded epitopes and that contain difficult or long peptide sequences. The final self-adjuvanting product promotes strong humoral and/or cell-mediated immunity. A module containing common components of the vaccine (T helper cell epitope and the adjuvanting lipid moiety S-[2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)propyl]cysteine) was assembled to enable a plug and play approach to vaccine assembly. The inclusion within the module of a chemical group with chemical properties complementary and orthogonal to a chemical group present in the target epitope allowed chemoselective ligation of the two vaccine components. The heat-stable enterotoxin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coil that requires strict conformational integrity for biological activity and the reproductive hormone luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone were used as the target epitopes for the antibody vaccines. An epitope from the acid polymerase of influenza virus was used to assemble a CD8+ T cell vaccine. Evaluation of each vaccine candidate in animals demonstrated the feasibility of the approach and that the type of immune response required, viz, antibody or cytotoxic T lymphocyte, dictates the nature of the chemical linkage between the module and target epitope. The use of a thioether bond between the module and target epitope had little or no adverse effect on antibody responses, whereas the use of a disulfide bond between the module and target epitope almost completely abrogated the antibody response. In contrast, better cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses were obtained when a disulfide bond was used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
