The immune response to a tick protein in the sera of humans or animals may reveal the zones with a high propensity to acquire RMSF, and vector control strategies may be focused on these zones. Arginine kinase (AK) is a highly antigenic invertebrate protein that may serve as a marker for tick exposure. We used R. sanguineus recombinant AK in an indirect ELISA assay with RMSF-positive patient sera. The response to AK was significantly higher against the sera of RMSF patients than the control sera from healthy participants without contact with dogs. To validate the antigenicity of tick AK, we mutated one predicted conformational epitope to alanine residues, which reduced the recognition by RMSF patients' immunoglobulins. This preliminary result opens a perspective towards the development of a complimentary technique based on RsAK as an antigen biomarker for vector serological surveillance for Rickettsia RMSF prevention.","PeriodicalId":21163,"journal":{"name":"Revista Argentina de microbiologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142366385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CW was extracted from the biomass produced in these media. AFB1 (150ng/ml) adsorption tests using the biomass (1×107cells/ml) and the CW (0.001g) were performed at pH 2 and pH 8. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) evaluated the CW thickness, and infrared spectroscopy (IR) determined the CW composition. Biomass production in YPD was higher than that in DDG. Cell diameter (μm) and CW thickness (μm) increased in the DDG medium. The CW percentage obtained in DDG was higher than that in YPD. The absorbance of carbohydrates by IR was higher in YPD. pH influenced AFB1 adsorption, which was lower at pH 8. The proportion of β-glucan and chitin present in CW was higher in the YPD medium. The IR method allowed to study the CW carbohydrate variation under the influence of these carbon sources. In conclusion, the culture media composition influenced the β-glucan and chitin composition and consequently, AFB1 adsorption.","PeriodicalId":21163,"journal":{"name":"Revista Argentina de microbiologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Streptococcus bacteria, particularly Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Streptococcus dysgalactiae, are commonly implicated in this condition. An accurate diagnosis is crucial for implementing effective treatment and minimizing its impact on production. This study examined 115 Streptococcus strains isolated from bovine mastitis cases in Uruguay using PCR for species identification. Additionally, the resistance to tetracycline, erythromycin, and penicillin was assessed in 81 of the bacterial strains under study. Significant disparities between phenotypic and genotypic detection were evident across all three species, with only 31% of strains identified phenotypically aligning with PCR results. Phenotypic prevalence indicated S. dysgalactiae as the most prevalent (44.35%), followed by S. uberis (24.34%) and S. agalactiae (6.09%). However, the genotypic identification revealed S. uberis as the most prevalent, followed by S. dysgalactiae, while S. agalactiae remained the least prevalent. The high sensitivity and speed of PCR suggest its potential routine implementation for diagnosing bovine mastitis caused by Streptococcus in any laboratory. Although, penicillin resistance was practically nonexistent, tetracycline and erythromycin exhibit higher resistance levels across all three species studied. In conclusion, the study underlines the importance of early diagnosis, highlights variations in bacterial prevalence, and proposes PCR as a valuable diagnostic tool for Streptococcus species responsible for bovine mastitis.","PeriodicalId":21163,"journal":{"name":"Revista Argentina de microbiologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Manures from animal production are a recognized source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) requiring appropriate treatment methods. One of the main approaches for manure treatment is anaerobic digestion (AD). Meta-analyses have demonstrated that AD can significantly reduce the load of ARGs. However, antibiotics, ARGs and MGEs still remain in the final product (digestate). A sustainable agricultural use of digestates under the One Health framework requires wide assessments of their effects in the soil resistome. The objective of this review was to present the state of the art of digestate effects on ARGs of agricultural soils, focusing exclusively on digestates from animal manures. A systematic review was conducted. The examination of the resulting literature indicated that although temporal decays are observed for a variety of ARGs in single-application and repeated-applications experiments, for certain ARGs the pre-treatment or control levels are not restored. However, the low number of studies and the heterogeneous experimental conditions preclude a clear understanding of the fate of ARGs in soil and their risk for agroecosystems. The inclusion of multiple MGEs and the assessment of the long-term influence of digestates on soil properties and microbial communities could be keystones for a better understanding of the risks associated with digestate-induced changes in the soil resistome.","PeriodicalId":21163,"journal":{"name":"Revista Argentina de microbiologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","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 develop an educational intervention aimed at mothers/guardians of children attending three child development centers (CDI) in Santa Fe, Argentina, during 2018. An educational intervention was conducted using a descriptive, quasi-experimental design, with pre- and post-intervention assessment. This intervention included 36 mothers, and was carried out in three stages: diagnosis, intervention and final evaluation. Simultaneously, a coproparasitological study was performed on 48 children under 5 years of age, who were assisted in the CDI, with the aim to understand and address the parasitic infections prevalent in the child population. It was possible to compare the correct answers before and after the educational intervention, observing a statistically significant increase (p=0.008742) in the average number of correct answers. Enteroparasites were identified in 54% of the population of children analyzed, 10% were biparasitized and 6% had more than two parasitic species. The most frequently detected parasites were Blastocystis spp., Giardia intestinalis and Ascaris lumbricoides. The educational intervention was positive, resulting in an improvement in the level of knowledge related to intestinal parasitosis and its prevention. This educational intervention experience highlights the importance of ongoing education in promoting a healthy lifestyle and preventing parasitosis in vulnerable populations.","PeriodicalId":21163,"journal":{"name":"Revista Argentina de microbiologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142126527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
