Article Synopsis
  • - In February 2024, a patient suffered a severe ocular injury to the right eye from an explosion of a salute gun, leading to an infection caused by Clostridium tertium, confirmed after the patient was transferred to a specialized hospital for further treatment.
  • - Medical interventions included intraocular exploration, debridement, suturing, and various diagnostic tests to analyze the bacteria causing the infection, which was identified through a Gram stain and culture.
  • - Pathological findings showed significant complications in the eye, such as conjunctival edema and hemorrhage, along with elevated white blood cell counts and markers indicating infection in the patient's blood tests.

Study on Changes in Gut Microbiota and Microbiability in Rabbits at Different Developmental Stages.

Animals (Basel)

June 2024

Farm Animal Genetic Resources Exploration and Innovation Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed gut microbiota in rabbits of different ages (0, 10, and 60 days) and their mothers, using 16s rRNA sequencing to understand how these bacteria change during growth.
  • It found that certain bacterial populations were significantly higher in 10-day-old suckling rabbits compared to 60-day-old rabbits, along with a notable influence of the mother's gut bacteria on their offspring.
  • Additionally, a correlation was identified between gut microbiota composition and the body weight of 60-day-old rabbits, highlighting the importance of gut health for growth and development.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on three bacterial strains (WC0700, WC0709, WC0705) that were isolated from mucin-enriched fecal samples and can utilize mucin as their only carbon and nitrogen source, highlighting their unique metabolic capabilities.
  • - Genomic and functional analyses revealed that WC0700 has the most glycosyl hydrolases for mucin degradation, while WC0705 has the fewest, and all strains produced various short-chain fatty acids (with acetic acid being the primary metabolite) when fed mucin-derived monosaccharides.
  • - The research also examined additional traits like antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and potential pathogenicity, emphasizing the safety of these strains and suggesting further exploration

Clostridium lamae sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from the fresh feces of alpaca.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek

February 2024

NHC Key Laboratory of Human Disease Comparative Medicine, Beijing Engineering Research Center for Experimental Animal Models of Human Critical Diseases, International Center for Technology and Innovation of Animal Model, Comparative Medicine Center, Institute of Laboratory Animal Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) & Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), Beijing, 100021, China.

A novel Gram-positive, anaerobic, nonspore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain NGMCC 1.200840, was isolated from the alpacas fresh feces. The taxonomic position of the novel strain was determined using a polyphasic approach.

Background: Only a few studies dealt with the occurrence of endospore-forming clostridia in the microbiota of infants without obvious health complications.

Methods: A methodology pipeline was developed to determine the occurrence of endospore formers in infant feces. Twenty-four fecal samples (FS) were collected from one infant in monthly intervals and were subjected to variable chemical and heat treatment in combination with culture-dependent analysis.
