Ruminal microbial digestion in free-living, in captive lichen-fed, and in starved reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in winter.

In free-living (FL) reindeer eating a natural mixed winter diet dominated by lichens, captive (CF) reindeer fed pure lichens ad libitum, and CF reindeer subsequently starved for 1 day (CS1 reindeer) or 4 days (CS4 reindeer), the dominant rumen anaerobic bacteria were characterized, their population densities were estimated, and ruminal pH and volatile fatty acid concentrations were determined. In the FL reindeer, the total median viable anaerobic bacterial population ranged from 18 x 10(8) to 35 x 10(8) cells per ml of rumen fluid (n = 4), compared with 26 x 10(8) to 34 x 10(8) and 0.09 x 10(8) to 0.1 x 10(8) cells per ml of rumen fluid in CF reindeer (n = 2) and CS4 reindeer (n = 2), respectively. The median bacterial population adhering to the rumen solids ranged from 260 x 10(8) to 450 x 10(8), 21 x 10(8) to 38 x 10(8), and 0.5 x 10(8) cells per g (wet weight) of rumen solids in FL, CF, and CS4 reindeer, respectively. Although there were variations in the rumen bacterial composition among the FL reindeer (n = 4), strains of Bacteroides, Fibrobacter, Streptococcus, and Clostridium dominated in the rumen fluid. Streptococcus spp. and Clostridium spp. were the dominant bacteria in the CF reindeer (n = 2), while in the CS4 reindeer (n = 2) the dominant bacteria were Fusobacterium spp., members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and Eubacterium spp. Transmission electron micrographs of lichen particles from the rumen of one FL reindeer, one CF reindeer, and one CS4 reindeer show bacteria resembling Bacteroides spp. adhering to the lichen particles, evidently digesting the lichen hyphae from the inside.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Biofilm-growing intestinal anaerobic bacteria

Sessile growth of anaerobic bacteria from the human intestinal tract has been poorly investigated, so far. We recently reported data on the close association existing between biliary stent clogging and polymicrobial biofilm development in its lumen. By exploiting the explanted stents as a rich source of anaerobic bacterial strains belonging to the genera Bacteroides, Clostridium, Fusobacterium, Finegoldia, Prevotella, and Veillonella, the present study focused on their ability to adhere, to grow in sessile mode and to form in vitro mono- or dual-species biofilms. Experiments on dual-species biofilm formation were planned on the basis of the anaerobic strains isolated from each clogged biliary stent, by selecting those in which a couple of anaerobic strains belonging to different species contributed to the polymicrobial biofilm development. Then, strains were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy to reveal if they are able to grow as mono- and/or dual-species biofilms. As far as we know, this is the first report on the ability to adhere and form mono/dual-species biofilms exhibited by strains belonging to the species Bacteroides oralis, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium baratii, Clostridium fallax, Clostridium bifermentans, Finegoldia magna, and Fusobacterium necrophorum.     

Comparison of populations of human faecal bacteria before and after in vitro incubation with plant cell wall substrates

Human faecal slurries were incubated anaerobically with larchwood xylan, oat spelt xylan, wheat bran, apple cell walls or sugar beet pulp as sole carbon sources. The populations which developed during incubation were different from the inoculum, the most marked changes being an increase in the number of Bacteroides species and a decrease in the number of Fusobacterium species for all carbon sources tested. With a water-soluble preparation of larchwood xylan the population was dominated by species able to ferment this substrate, in contrast to the population which developed with the insoluble substrates. The ability to use one plant cell wall substrate appeared to be related to the ability to use others. Strains capable of using plant cell wall substrates included Bacteroides spp., Clostridium clostridiiforme, Bifidobacterium longum, Fusobacterium spp. and Escherichia coli. When incubation with two contrasting substrates (bran and larchwood xylan) was replicated, the populations which developed were reproducibly different from the inoculum and from each other.

5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid sequences in Bacteroides and Fusobacterium: evolutionary relationships within these genera and among eubacteria in general

The 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequences were determined for Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides capillosus, Bacteroides veroralis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Anaerorhabdus furcosus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Fusobacterium mortiferum, and Fusobacterium varium. A dendrogram constructed by a clustering algorithm from these sequences, which were aligned with all other hitherto known eubacterial 5S rRNA sequences, showed differences as well as similarities with respect to results derived from 16S rRNA analyses. In the 5S rRNA dendrogram, Bacteroides clustered together with Cytophaga and Fusobacterium, as in 16S rRNA analyses. Intraphylum relationships deduced from 5S rRNAs suggested that Bacteroides is specifically related to Cytophaga rather than to Fusobacterium, as was suggested by 16S rRNA analyses. Previous taxonomic considerations concerning the genus Bacteroides, based on biochemical and physiological data, were confirmed by the 5S rRNA sequence analysis.     

肠道微生物与大肠癌相关性的研究进展

越来越多的研究表明,肠道微生物可以影响大肠癌的发生发展。例如,产肠毒素脆弱拟杆菌、具核梭杆菌等已被证实与晚期的大肠癌和患者生存率降低相关。肠道微生物变化可以导致肠道稳态破坏,菌群数量以及类别的变化会导致宿主产生复杂的病理生理反应过程,促进大肠癌的发生发展。因此需要研究肠道微生物如何破坏肠道屏障、介导物质代谢、产生炎症因子及激活信号转导通路以及如何造成肠道微生物生态失调从而加速疾病进程。通过研究肠道微生物与大肠癌之间的相互作用,可以对大肠癌的早期诊断、治疗和预后有所帮助。本文就目前肠道微生物与大肠癌相关机制和前沿治疗的研究现状作一综述。     

Molecular characterization of the bacteria adherent to human colorectal mucosa

AIMS: To study large intestinal mucosal bacterial communities by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) profiling and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified from DNA extracted from colorectal biopsies taken from healthy individuals. The specific aims were to determine how similar the mucosa-associated bacterial communities are within and between individuals and also to characterize the phylogenetic origin of isolated DGGE bands. METHODS AND RESULTS: Human colorectal biopsies were taken at routine colonoscopy from 33 patients with normal looking mucosa. The DNA was extracted directly from single biopsies and the bacterial 16S rDNA PCR amplified. The PCR products were profiled using DGGE to generate a fingerprint of the dominant members of the bacterial community associated with the biopsy. The reproducibility of this method was high (>98%). Washed and unwashed biopsies gave similar DGGE banding patterns (Median Similarity Coefficient - MSC 96%, InterQuartile Range - IQR 3.0%, n = 5). Adjacent biopsies sampled from the same patient using different forceps gave similar DGGE profiles (MSC 94%, n = 2). Two colorectal biopsies sampled at locations 2-5 cm apart, from each of 18 patients, resulted in very similar profiles (MSC 100%, IQR 2.8%). Biopsies sampled from different locations within the large intestine of the same patient also gave similar DGGE profiles (MSC 98% IQR 3.3%n = 6). Although all patients (n = 33) gave different DGGE profiles, some similarity (c. 34%) was observed between profiles obtained from 15 patients arbitrarily selected. 35 DGGE bands were excised and sequenced. Many were found to be most closely related to uncultured bacterial sequence entries in the Genbank database. Others belonged to typical gut bacterial genera including Bacteroides, Ruminococcus, Faecalibacterium and Clostridium. CONCLUSIONS: Bacterial communities adherent to colorectal mucosa within a normal patient show little variation; in contrast, mucosal bacterial communities sampled from different patients with normal colorectal mucosa show a high degree of variation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This research demonstrates that DGGE profiling of 16S rRNA gene PCR products amplified from DNA extracted directly from mucosal samples offers fresh insight into the bacterial communities that are adherent to colorectal mucosa. These findings are important with respect to further studies on the gastrointestinal tract in health and disease.     

结直肠癌与肠道菌群

肠道是集消化、吸收、内分泌、免疫、屏障等功能为一体的重要器官,肠道菌群的结构和功能与人体的健康、疾病的发生发展及机体的快速康复息息相关。结直肠癌变是个逐步发生发展的过程,从局部炎性反应、腺瘤、癌前病变到恶化的过程可达数年甚至数十年之久。结肠癌早期临床症状不明显且潜伏期较长,容易造成漏诊和误诊,贻误最佳治疗时机。近年来,国内外多项研究显示大肠埃希菌、粪肠球菌、脆弱拟杆菌、解没食子酸链球菌、具核梭杆菌等细菌与结直肠癌的发生发展关系密切,这为我们从另外一个角度来进行结直肠癌早期诊断提供了新思路和新途径。

Successful transfer of embryos recovered from a cow with chronic cervicitis of mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacterial aetiology a case report

An imported 13-year-old Simmentaler cow was presented with severe purulent cervicitis and endometritis from which Corynebacterium pyogenes , Fusobacterium necrophorum , Bacteroides melaninogenicus and an untyped Clostridium perfringens were isolated. The endometritis responded to treatment but the cervix did not and remained fibrous, continuously patent and purulent. Natural pregnancy was considered unlikely and the cow was prepared as an embryo transfer donor. Eight embryos were recovered and six transferred, resulting in five confirmed pregnancies and four live births.
