Clinical and Epidemiological Changes in French Soldiers After Deployment: Impact of Doxycycline Malaria Prophylaxis on Body Weight

Emilie Javelle, Aurelie Mayet, Rodrigue S. Allodji, Catherine Marimoutou, Chrystel Lavagna, Jerome Desplans, Matthieu Million, Didier Raoult, Gaetan Texier

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of doxycycline (DOXY) on body weight in military international travelers. The results showed that DOXY did not cause significant weight gain in soldiers. However, other factors such as fatty food, sedentary lifestyle, and strain-specific probiotics may contribute to weight gain.

Bartonella quintana Transmitted by Head Lice: An Outbreak of Trench Fever in Senegal

Alissa Hammoud, Meriem Louni, Florence Fenollar, Hubert Bassene, Masse Sambou, Nathalie Duclos, Georges Diatta, Cheikh Sokhna, Anthony Levasseur, Didier Raoult, Oleg Mediannikov

Summary: The current paradigm of trench fever transmission by body lice is challenged by the isolation of identical strains of Bartonella quintana from patients and head lice. Confirmation of head lice as a vector will have implications for the treatment and prevention of louse-borne diseases. This study provides evidence of head lice vectorial capacity by detecting live B. quintana in head lice and finding genetic identity between strains from patients' blood and head lice during an outbreak.

Assessment of diversity of archaeal communities in Algerian chott

Imene Ikram Hassani, Ines Quadri, Archana Yadav, Sonia Bouchard, Didier Raoult, Hocine Hacene, Christelle Desnues

Summary: This study analyzed and compared the diversity of halophilic archaea in Zehrez-Chergui (Saharian chott), Algeria, using both PCR amplification and cultivation approaches. A total of 45 distinct strains were characterized, indicating their membership in the class Halobacteria. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 23 strains were related to 6 genera of halophilic archaea, including Halopiger which was dominant in this hypersaline environment. The molecular analysis identified a diverse range of archaeological species, highlighting the importance of combining both methods to obtain comprehensive information.

Hirsch, Adrian Egli, Maurice Redondo, Olivier Kobel, Christoph Noppen, Louis du Plessis, Niko Beerenwinkel, Richard A. Neher, Christian Beisel, Tanja Stadler

Summary: Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in Switzerland revealed the number and persistence of virus introductions. Border closures in Switzerland significantly reduced case introductions, with up to a 98% reduction during the strictest measures. The partial lockdown in 2020 also shortened the time for introductions to die out. The study demonstrates the importance of genome sequencing data in understanding transmission dynamics.

Alpha and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Adaptation in an Upper Respiratory Tract Model

Gregory Mathez, Trestan Pillonel, Claire Bertelli, Valeria Cagno

Summary: SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to evolve and undergo selective pressure. In an ex vivo cell model, the Alpha and Omicron BA.1 variants showed no adaptation in the spike protein, suggesting the role of adaptive immune response or other anatomical sites in the evolution of the virus.

Summary: This study examined Borrelia species in rodents captured from rural areas of Turkey. Borrelia miyamotoi was discovered in 1.7% of the blood samples collected from wild rodents. This is the first report of B. miyamotoi presence in rodents in Turkey.

Taxonogenomics of Culturomica massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., and Emergencia timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. new bacteria isolated from human stool microbiota

Summary: Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P2698(T) and Marseille-P2260(T), were isolated from human stools using the culturomic method. These two strains were fully described using the taxonogenomic approach. Marseille-P2698(T) was identified as a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, while Marseille-P2260(T) was identified as a Gram-positive, motile, spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium.

Summary: This study analyzed the microbial composition of NASH patients and controls using 16S rRNA sequencing and qPCR. The results showed an association between Lactobacillus and Lactoccocus with NASH, and an association between Methanobrevibacter, Faecalibacterium, and Romboutsia with controls. At the species level, ethanol-producing species of Lactobacillus and an already associated species of dysbiosis were associated with NASH. This study highlights the potential role of ethanol-producing gut microbes in NASH.

Summary: The IVDR regulation poses a major challenge for diagnostic microbiology laboratories due to its complexity and risks. The emergence of new pathogens further complicates the regulation, negatively impacting the development of new diagnostic tests. Additionally, the regulation affects the availability and costs of diagnostic tests, posing a risk to public health.

Summary: Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) staining is a commonly used negative staining method in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for assessing the viability of microorganisms. This study demonstrates that PTA staining can effectively differentiate between live and dead bacteria, providing a rapid, cost-effective, and efficient viability assay for microbiome investigations and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
