From the get-go in this period, organisms were believed to be essential aggressors that administered the host-microbe connection, bringing about sickness. Afterward, new data about the traits of organisms and their hosts brought about the arrangement that the host-microorganism communication doesn't generally bring about illness. This acknowledgment, thus, prompted the acquaintance of terms with clarify states in which organisms exist inside hosts without causing obvious illness and why a few microorganisms just purpose sickness in specific hosts. Commensal, transporter state, and entrepreneur were terms advanced to represent microorganisms and conditions that were now and then connected with illness yet for which Koch's proposes couldn't be satisfied for some explanation. The majority of these terms were initially proposed to depict the conduct of specific microorganisms, as opposed to characterize a more broad host-organism relationship.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79354423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are known to grow and proliferate in waters containing iron concentrations as low as 0.1 mg/L. However, at any rate 0.3 ppm of disintegrated oxygen is needed to carry out oxidation. Iron is a significant component required by living organisms to carry out numerous metabolic reactions such as formation of proteins involved in biochemical reactions, like iron-sulfur proteins, haemoglobin and coordination complexes. This element has a widespread distribution in the planet and is considered as one of the most abundant in the Earth's crust, soil and sediments. Iron is one of the trace elements in marine environments. Its role in the digestion of some chemolithotrophs is probably ancient.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"134 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75513228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria among school children in Bambili. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 800 subjects all over Bambili, some of them through the health centre to ensure a random selection of subjects since patients all over Bambili consult at the health center. Blood samples were collected from respondents and treated appropriately before mounting on glass slides for microscopic examinations using a light microscope. Results: Out of these infections screened in 800 persons, only malaria was recorded in 73 persons (9.13%). The highest infection rate (19.23%) was recorded in October and the lowest (1.54%) in January. Risk factors include seasonal changes, the location and hygiene of residences, the level of education, and the non-use of preventive measures.   Conclusion: Malaria appear to be of primary concern thus something must be done by health authorities and sectors responsible for public health issues, in order to effectively control these insect-borne diseases and the nuisance they cause.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82029142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to document the place of M. genitalium infection in men and women attending a private laboratory and to document its association with other STI pathogens. Materials and methods: M. genitalium detection was performed in genital secretions using RealLine Chlamydia trachomatis/ Mycoplasma genitalium (Biosynex, France) at BIO24 biomedical laboratory in Dakar (Senegal). In parallel, other genital pathogens including N. gonorrhoeae and common Mycoplasma species were detected through culture and microscopic analysis. Results: From March 2016 to November 2017, genital secretions from 3550 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 32 years (range: 16 to 71) with a sex-ratio of 0.13. Overall, M. genitalium, C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae and U. urealyticum were detected at a frequency of 1.7%, 2.82%, 0.5% and 11.86%, respectively. In women, C. albicans, bacterial vaginosis, T. vaginalis and M. hominis were found at a frequency of 19.6%, at 22%, 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively. M. genitalium infection was significantly more prevalent in men than women and more frequently associated with C. trachomatis than N. gonorrhoeae. One third of M. genitalium infected women presented also bacterial vaginosis signs and a high pH value (>4.5) of genital secretions was observed in all infected women.

The sources such as human lactoferrin, haem and haemoglobin can support the H. pylori growth. However, still not fully understood how the process of iron acquisition occurs. An in silico analysis has shown that H. pylori genome has a family of three outer membrane protein regulated by iron (FrpB). Two of them: FrpB1 and FrpB2 were purified as recombinant proteins and their haem- or haemoglobin-binding capability was demonstrated. Unfortunately the last protein of the family (FrpB3) has not been investigated. Methods: In this work FrpB3 was purified by haem-affinity chromatography and its capacity of haem-binding was analyzed. This protein was identified by mass spectrometry and its expression was quantified by real time technique under different human iron sources. This expression was compared with frpB1 and frpb2. The FrpB3 structure was analyzed by 3D model to view the motifs necessary for Hb-binding, and also was compared with FrpB1 and FrpB2 structures. Results: The protein identified was FrpB3, its respective gene was overexpressed with haemoglobin. FrpB1 was overexpressed with haem while FrpB2 was induced in presence of haem and also haemoglobin. Both 3D models showed that they are structurally conserved because they have the typical barrel structure, which is inserted in membrane, also, the motifs necessary for Hb-binding were identified in all the structures. Conclusion: H. pylori express FrpB1, FrpB2 and FrpB3 proteins to scavenge iron and they are regulated according to availability of iron source, maybe in order to withstand the extreme environment present in the stomach. Our overall results represent the effort to explain the importance of iron acquisition.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83756969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
