Autologous transplant: microbial contamination of hematopoietic stem cell products

Charriere, G; Jouenne, T; Junter, G.

A simple potentiometric technique to detect and enumerate the bio-indicators of water contamination is described. The technique consists in measuring the redox potential of a specific culture medium saturated with oxygen where bacteria are incubated in presence of lipoic acid (LA). These micro-organisms reduce LA to dihydrolipoic acid, giving rise to an important potential drop in the system. This potentiometric "signal" reveals the presence of active metabolic bacteria in the medium. The major assets of potentiometric measurements in presence of LA lies in the reliability and intelligibility of the results (the redox phenomenon being qualitatively and quantitatively studied), associated to a very simple technology. Futhermore, this technique is perfectly...

Hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood (HPCPB) are commonly used for autologous and allogenic transplants in patients with most various onco-hematological diseases, and despite the utilization of sterile techniques during collection and processing of these products, bacterial contamination can occur. This study aimed to investigate the microbial contamination of HPCPB products. Microbial cultures of 837 HPCPB products between the year 2000 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed to determine the incidence of culture positivity and identify the main organisms that cause contamination. The microbiological studies were performed with an automated system (BacT/Alert® bioMérieux Corporate). Thirty-six (4.3%) of 837 microbial cultures were...

Nativa da Região Amazônica, a castanheira (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) é considerada uma das maiores riquezas nos estados que formam a Amazônia Brasileira. Um dos grandes problemas na conservação da castanha-do-brasil deve-se ao crescimento de fungos produtores de aflatoxinas e bactérias patogênicas, por causa das condições de umidade relativa e temperatura elevadas a que é submetida desde o momento da queda do ouriço. Assim, buscou-se identificar, em indústrias de processamento de castanha-do-brasil no Acre, os microrganismos responsáveis pela qualidade sanitária, especialmente os do grupo coliformes, bactérias mesáfilas, bolores e leveduras. Foram coletadas amostras nos meses de agosto de 2001 a maio de 2002, em cinco etapas do processamento. As...

The pathogens related to summer mortality outbreaks are a herpes virus and two bacterial strains one belonging to Vibrio splendidus biovar II and the other to Vibrio splendidus spp. However, the feature pathogen/opportunist of these strains is still unknown. Several strains belonging to the genus Vibrio have been identified as pathogen for different mollusk species. In the context of the French program Morest, experiments of cohabitation have been used to demonstrate the potential presence of a transmissible infectious agent in batches of oysters suffering from summer mortality outbreaks. More than one hundred Vibrio strains have been isolated from these experiments. These strains have been phenotypically and genotypically characterized. Their virulence...

Comparaison de methodes directes (microscopiques) et indirectes (par mise en culture) dans l'evaluation d'une pollution bacterienne d'origine fecale. Etude preliminaire

Determination du profil des flores bacteriennes des zones littorales. Application a l'evaluation de l'impact des rejets

Munro, P; Bianchi, M.

Cells of two serotypes of Escherichia coli (O26B6 and 0111B4) were counted using epifluorescence and immunofluorescence microscopy (nonavalent serum) and plate count on specific medium. Values from indirect counts were 10 fold smaller than those from both microscopic counts. In a sample of sea water from an area receiving a fecal pollution, the highest number of bacteria was obtained by epifluorescence microscopy. In that case, the number of cells counted by immunofluorescence microscopy was 10 fold smaller than the number of bacteria able to grow on the medium. It could be due to: the diversity of the natural community, the possibility to other bacteria than E. coli to grow on the used culture medium, the restrictiveness of the serum for "pathogenic...

Dynamics and diversity of the bacterial community during the spontaneous decay of açai (Euterpe oleracea) fruits

Bunetel, L; Segui, A; Guerin, J; Lerman, I; Cormier, M.

The principle of this method is to evaluate, by counts exercised upon selective media, the relative importance of the different bacteria families in the flora of the coastal waters. It is important to separate the contaminant species and the commensal species in the marine environment. Ten culture media distributed into four categories (selective, non selective, saline and non saline) were examined by numeration. Counts were transferred on a diagram allowing to plot down a profile of bacterial flora of water sampled from a given geographical area. The profiles are arranged by a classification method. The sampling points with similar or adjoining profiles were assembled and marked on the chart. In this way, the authors obtained areas representing the impact...

Abstract The biodiversity and evolution of the microbial community in açai fruits (AF) between three geographical origins and two spontaneous decay conditions were examined by applying culture-independent methods. Culture-independent methods based on 16S rRNA from fifteen samples revealed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria were the most abundant phyla. At the genus level, Massilia (taxon with more than 50% of the sequences remaining constant during the 30 h of decay), Pantoea, Naxibacter, Enterobacter, Raoultella and Klebsiella were identified, forming the carposphere bacterial microbiota of AF. AF is fibre-rich and Massilia bacteria could find a large quantity of substrate for its growth through cellulase...

Etude experimentale de la disparition de coliformes fecaux d'un effluent urb ain en milieu marin

Jeske, R..

Mientras predominan las aguas salobres en la Ciénaga Grande se destacan las formas bacterianas halófilas. Durante la época de lluvias (invierno, disminuye la salinidad, sin embargo las formas halófilas aumentan en número. La reproducción de bacterias de agua dulce se inicia sólo cuando la salinidad llega bajo un valor de un 10°/o/o. Estas alcanzan su valor máximo temporáneo en salinidades de un 3°/o/o. Al mismo tiempo disminuyen las formas halófilas. Observaciones sobre contaminación fecal se realizaron en las aguas de la Ciénaga. Como indicador se utilizó Escherichia coli. En las inmediaciones de los pueblos de pescadores es posible detectar cierta contaminación. En cambio, en el resto de la Ciénaga, en contados casos se observa E. coli. La presencia de...

Fluorescent antibody enumeration of Vibrio cholerae in the marine environment.

Bonnefont, J; Lelong, P; Martin, Y.

The authors studied survival of faecal coliform (decrease rate + T90) in experimental devices (closed or continuous flow systems) using various dilutions of urban sewage in sea-water. Survival appears to be high (T90 between 12 to 81 h). Dilution level of sewage and organic matter contents seems to be important to explain the decrease of faecal coliforms observed in these experiments.

Implantation et survie de Campylobacter jejuni/coli chez la moule Mytilus edulis

Brayton, P; Roszak, D; Palmer, L; Huq, S; Gimes, D.

From microcosm studies, V. cholerae and related potential human pathogens enter a viable but nonculturable state. Direct viable counts by epifluorescent microscopy consistently remain higher than corresponding plate counts. Thus, the assumption that pathogens "die-off" or "decay" in the marine environment must be re-evaluated, since stressed or nutrient-starved cells are unable to grow and be enumerated by standard plate count methods. Indirect immunofluorescent microscopy offers a more sensitive detection system for environment sampling for human pathogens. Field indicate that cultures positive for V. cholerae O1 are also positive by fluorescent antibody staining; however, the reverse was not necessarily true. By adapting epifluorescent techniques for...

Incidences de la modification de la circulation des eaux sur l'hydrochimie et le degré de contamination bactérienne d'un estuaire eutrophe tropical

Minet, Jacques; Sauvager, F; Cormier, M.

Illnesses due to marine bivalvia consumption are mostly associated with viruses as causative agents. In more than the half of cases, this agent remains unidentifies, nevertheless. So far as bacteria are concerned, Salmonella are found firstly. Campylobacters represent a major cause of gastrointestinal disease, with Salmonella, among humans. Whether campylobacteriosis may be acquired from shellfishes remains unclear. We undertook to comparatively appreciate the survival of Campylobacter jejuni/coli and Salmonella typhimurium in seawater and contaminated mussels. Bacterial enumerations where performes using microbial cultures and specific (with immunofluorescence) direct viable counts (of substrate responsive bacteria). During laboratory contamination...

Pour contrôler la prolifération de la végétation aquatique flottante, en Côte d'Ivoire, une ouverture dans le cordon littoral a été pratiquée en septembre 1987 mettant ainsi en communication directe le fleuve Comoé avec l'océan. L'impact de cet aménagement sur l'hydrochimie (salinité, éléments nutritifs et biomasse chlorophyllienne)et le degré de contamination bactérienne a été étudié dans la zone proche du canal de Vridi. Avant la réouverture du grau de Bassam, les eaux du Comoé s'évacuaient dans l'océan par ce canal artificiel situé dans la ville d'Abidjan.

L'ionisation des produits de la pêche

Microbial contamination of central supply systems for medical air

Kodo, Jean-louis.

Fishes and fishery products are seafoods which have a nutritive value with a high proteins rate. Fishery products ionization has four steps: the radappertization (sterilization of the seafood), the radicidation (destruction of the pathogen germs), the radurization (food conservation and microbial flora reduction), the desinsectization (insects and parasites elimination). Fishery products quality control is very important

There are many standards and recommendations for breathing air quality associated with respiratory protection equipment, but little has been done regarding the possible microbial contamination of medical air. The present study demonstrates quantitatively and qualitatively that pipelines might be incriminated as source of microbial contamination of compressed and synthetic air for medical use. Air samples were drawn into an especially pressure-resistant device and the bacterial and fungi contents were identified after growth on agar plates. The bacterial flora isolated from peripheral air outlets was virtually the same as that found in the central air-generating installations, consisting of a mixture of pathogens and normal skin bacteria. Several factors...

The quality of mineral water commercialized in Brazil regarding the microbial content was analyzed and the results were compared with the standards established by the current legislation. Results demonstrated there was no bacterial contamination, but several types of fungi were found. Therefore, bottled mineral water could be considered a possible route for the transmission of filamentous fungi and yeasts.

Poultry meat can be contaminated with a variety of microorganisms, including those capable of spoiling the product during chill storage, and certain foodborne pathogens. Human illness may follow from handling of raw meat, undercooking or mishandling of the cooked product. While Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. remain the organisms of greatest global concern in this respect, others present include the more recently reported Arcobacter and Helicobacter spp. and, occasionally, verotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Also considered here is the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance among poultry-associated pathogens. Because of the need for a systematic and universally applicable approach to food safety control, the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point...

Molecular characterization of microbial contaminants isolated from Umbilical Cord Blood Units for transplant

Beucher, M; Plusquellec, A; Legal, Y; Cleret, J.

Sea water samples were collected in the vicinity of urban non-treated, urban treated and industrial outfalls. The samples belonged to two differents types: the first one consisted of the surface film, the second was the corresponding water at 50 cm depth. The enumeration of the bacteria in both types of samples indicated a significant concentration of the mesophilic flora and of the indicators of fecal pollution in the surface film. The value of the concentrating factor depended largely on the nature of the sewage and did not reflect differences between the various bacterial groups. At one of the stations a very significant regression was demonstrated between surface sample and depth sample.

ABSTRACT Disposal of Umbilical Cord Blood Units due to microbial contamination is a major problem in Cord Blood Banks worldwide as it reduces the number of units available for transplantation. Additionally, economic losses are generated as result of resources and infrastructure used to obtain such units. Umbilical Cord Blood Units that showed initial microbial contamination were subject to strains isolation, identification, and characterization by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC-PCR). Moreover, tests of antimicrobial resistance/sensitivity and phenotypic activities that may play an important role in microbial infection were performed. Microbial contamination was detected in 120 Umbilical Cord Blood...
