AI Article Synopsis

  • Seventeen anaerobic, Gram-negative coccobacilli were isolated from human clinical samples in France, identified as belonging to the genus Dialister through biochemical and molecular analyses.
  • The isolates exhibited low genetic similarities with known species, leading to the distinction of two novel species based on phylogenetic data: Dialister micraerophilus and Dialister propionicifaciens.
  • Additionally, 11 isolates from Canada were found to belong to the newly identified species D. micraerophilus, expanding its classification.

Article Abstract

Seventeen anaerobic, Gram-negative, tiny coccobacilli were collected in France from various human clinical samples. Biochemical analyses as well as molecular studies, including 16S rRNA and dnaK gene sequencing, affiliated all the isolates to the genus Dialister. However, 16S rRNA and dnaK gene sequence similarities were below 95.2 and 79.7 %, respectively, when comparisons were performed with the currently described species Dialister pneumosintes and Dialister invisus. Two clusters consisting of 13 and four isolates could be differentiated. 16S rRNA- and dnaK-based phylogeny confirmed that these two clusters represent two novel and distinct lineages within the genus Dialister. Finally, phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data supported the proposal of the two novel species Dialister micraerophilus sp. nov. (type strain ADV 04.01T=AIP 25.04T=CIP 108278T=CCUG 48837T) and Dialister propionicifaciens sp. nov. (type strain ADV 1053.03T=AIP 26.04T=CIP 108336T=CCUG 49291T). The G+C content of the DNA of the D. micraerophilus type strain is 36.3 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, 11 isolates originating from Canada could also be affiliated to D. micraerophilus sp. nov., and were included in the species description.

Clotrimazole-induced shifts in vaginal bacteriome and lipid metabolism: insights into recovery mechanisms in vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Department of Gynecology, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, No. 2699 West Gaoke Road, Shanghai 201204, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is common among women, often causing recurrent issues that negatively impact their quality of life; treatment with clotrimazole has been proven effective but its effects on vaginal bacteria and metabolites were previously not well understood.
  • A study involving women with VVC showed that clotrimazole significantly reduced Candida albicans levels and improved vaginal health, leading to important changes in the vaginal bacteriome, including a rise in beneficial Lactobacillus species and a drop in harmful bacteria.
  • The treatment also altered metabolic profiles, particularly in lipid metabolism, indicating a relationship between specific bacteria and metabolites, thus offering insights into potential new diagnostic methods for managing VVC.
