Metronidazole
A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS. It has also been proposed as a radiation sensitizer for hypoxic cells. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985, p133), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck, 11th ed).
Blastocystis isolates from a pig and a horse are closely related to Blastocystis hominis. (1/51)
Blastocystis has a widespread distribution in a variety of animals, which is a potential source of infection for humans. However, the contribution of zoonotic transmission remains unclear due to the absence of molecular proof of these organisms being identical to those found in humans. We report herein the similar subgroup of Blastocystis isolates from humans, pigs, and a horse using a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of partial small-subunit ribosomal DNA (ssu rDNA). Additionally, sequence and phylogenic analysis of partial ssu rDNA of Blastocystis from a human, a pig, and a horse sharing a common subgroup shows that Blastocystis isolates from a pig and a horse were monophyletic and closely related to B. hominis, with 92 to 94% identity. These results suggest the possibility of zoonotic potential of Blastocystis. (+info)PCR-based identification of zoonotic isolates of Blastocystis from mammals and birds. (2/51)
The genotype of Blastocystis isolated from humans and animals is highly polymorphic. Therefore, it is important to compare the genotypes of Blastocystis isolates from humans and animals to determine the zoonotic potential of animal isolates. PCR-based genotype classification using known sequence-tagged site (STS) primers allows identification of zoonotic isolates of animal origin. To this end, 51 isolates from monkeys, cattle, pigs, chickens, quails and pheasants were subjected to genotype analysis using seven kinds of STS primers. Out of the 51 isolates, 39 were identified as one of the known genotypes, four showed mixed genotypes, and eight were unknown genotypes as these were negative for all STS primers. When these results were combined with previous studies on 41 isolates from animals and compared with the diversity of genotypes of 102 human Blastocystis hominis isolates, 67.4 % (62/92) of isolates from mammals and birds were identical to human B. hominis genotypes. Since the unknown genotype of human origin had been placed into an additional clade in the small-subunit rRNA gene phylogeny, further molecular study on the eight isolates of unknown genotype from the present study will facilitate our understanding of their zoonotic potential.

Small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences were obtained by PCR from 12 Blastocystis isolates from humans, rats, and reptiles for which elongation factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha) gene sequences are already available. These new sequences were analyzed by the Bayesian method in a broad phylogeny including, for the first time, all Blastocystis sequences available in the databases. Phylogenetic trees identified seven well-resolved groups plus several discrete lineages that could represent newly defined clades. Comparative analysis of SSU rRNA- and EF-1alpha-based trees obtained by maximum-likelihood methods from a restricted sampling (13 isolates) revealed overall agreement between the two phylogenies. In spite of their morphological similarity, sequence divergence among Blastocystis isolates reflected considerable genetic diversity that could be correlated with the existence of potentially >/=12 different species within the genus. Based on this analysis and previous PCR-based genotype classification data, six of these major groups might consist of Blastocystis isolates from both humans and other animal hosts, confirming the low host specificity of Blastocystis. Our results also strongly suggest the existence of numerous zoonotic isolates with frequent animal-to-human and human-to-animal transmissions and of a large potential reservoir in animals for infections in humans. (+info)Viable blastocystis cysts in Scottish and Malaysian sewage samples. (4/51)
Blastocystis cysts were detected in 38% (47/123) (37 Scottish, 17 Malaysian) of sewage treatment works. Fifty percent of influents (29% Scottish, 76% Malaysian) and 28% of effluents (9% Scottish, 60% Malaysian) contained viable cysts. Viable cysts, discharged in effluent, provide further evidence for the potential for waterborne transmission of Blastocystis. (+info)Blastocystis ratti induces contact-independent apoptosis, F-actin rearrangement, and barrier function disruption in IEC-6 cells. (5/51)
Blastocystis is an enteric protozoan purportedly associated with numerous clinical cases of diarrhea, flatulence, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Despite new knowledge of Blastocystis cell biology, genetic diversity, and epidemiology, its pathogenic potential remains controversial. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies either implicate or exonerate the parasite as a cause of intestinal disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic potential of Blastocystis by studying the interactions of Blastocystis ratti WR1, an isolate of zoonotic potential, with a nontransformed rat intestinal epithelial cell line, IEC-6. Here, we report that B. ratti WR1 induces apoptosis in IEC-6 cells in a contact-independent manner. Furthermore, we found that B. ratti WR1 rearranges F-actin distribution, decreases transepithelial resistance, and increases epithelial permeability in IEC-6 cell monolayers. In addition, we found that the effects of B. ratti on transepithelial electrical resistance and epithelial permeability were significantly abrogated by treatment with metronidazole, an antiprotozoal drug. Our results suggest for the first time that Blastocystis-induced apoptosis in host cells and altered epithelial barrier function might play an important role in the pathogenesis of Blastocystis infections and that metronidazole has therapeutic potential in alleviating symptoms associated with Blastocystis. (+info)Cellular identification of a novel uncultured marine stramenopile (MAST-12 Clade) small-subunit rRNA gene sequence from a norwegian estuary by use of fluorescence in situ hybridization-scanning electron microscopy. (6/51)
Revealing the cellular identity of organisms behind environmental eukaryote rRNA gene sequences is a major objective in microbial diversity research. We sampled an estuarine oxygen-depleted microbial mat in southwestern Norway and retrieved an 18S rRNA gene signature that branches in the MAST-12 clade, an environmental marine stramenopile clade. Detailed phylogenetic analyses revealed that MAST-12 branches among the heterotrophic stramenopiles as a sister of the free-living Bicosoecida and the parasitic genus Blastocystis. Specific sequence signatures confirmed a relationship to these two groups while excluding direct assignment. We designed a specific oligonucleotide probe for the target sequence and detected the corresponding organism in incubation samples using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Using the combined FISH-scanning electron microscopy approach (T. Stoeck, W. H. Fowle, and S. S. Epstein, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69:6856-6863, 2003), we determined the morphotype of the target organism among the very diverse possible morphologies of the heterotrophic stramenopiles. The unpigmented cell is spherical and about 5 mum in diameter and possesses a short flagellum and a long flagellum, both emanating anteriorly. The long flagellum bears mastigonemes in a characteristic arrangement, and its length (30 mum) distinguishes the target organism from other recognized heterotrophic stramenopiles. The short flagellum is naked and often directed posteriorly. The organism possesses neither a lorica nor a stalk. The morphological characteristics that we discovered should help isolate a representative of a novel stramenopile group, possibly at a high taxonomic level, in order to study its ultrastructure, physiological capabilities, and ecological role in the environment. (+info)Blastocystis ratti contains cysteine proteases that mediate interleukin-8 response from human intestinal epithelial cells in an NF-kappaB-dependent manner. (7/51)
Blastocystis is a ubiquitous enteric protozoan found in the intestinal tracts of humans and a wide range of animals. Evidence accumulated over the last decade suggests association of Blastocystis with gastrointestinal disorders involving diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, and fatigue. Clinical and experimental studies have associated Blastocystis with intestinal inflammation, and it has been shown that Blastocystis has potential to modulate the host immune response. Blastocystis is also reported to be an opportunistic pathogen in immunosuppressed patients, especially those suffering from AIDS. However, nothing is known about the parasitic virulence factors and early events following host-parasite interactions. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which Blastocystis activates interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene expression in human colonic epithelial T84 cells. We demonstrate for the first time that cysteine proteases of Blastocystis ratti WR1, a zoonotic isolate, can activate IL-8 gene expression in human colonic epithelial cells. Furthermore, we show that NF-kappaB activation is involved in the production of IL-8. In addition, our findings show that treatment with the antiprotozoal drug metronidazole can avert IL-8 production induced by B. ratti WR1. We also show for the first time that the central vacuole of Blastocystis may function as a reservoir for cysteine proteases. Our findings will contribute to an understanding of the pathobiology of a poorly studied parasite whose public health importance is increasingly recognized.

(+info)Blastocystis is a common protozoan parasite that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and has been associated with various health conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Blastocystis is a unicellular parasite that is commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It is one of the most common parasites found in stool samples, and it is estimated to infect up to 1 billion people worldwide. Blastocystis is typically asymptomatic, but it can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating in some individuals. The parasite has been classified into several subtypes based on genetic and morphological differences, and some subtypes have been associated with more severe symptoms. Blastocystis is typically diagnosed through stool analysis and is treated with antiparasitic medications.
Intestinal Diseases, Parasitic refer to infections caused by parasites that affect the intestines and can lead to various symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.
Intestinal diseases caused by parasites are a group of conditions that affect the digestive system and are caused by the presence of parasites in the intestines. These parasites can be protozoa, helminths, or other microorganisms that live in the digestive tract and cause damage to the lining of the intestine, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Some common examples of parasitic intestinal diseases include: 1. Ascariasis: caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and coughing up worms. 2. Giardiasis: caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia, which can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and bloating. 3. Hookworm infection: caused by the hookworms Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale, which can cause anemia, abdominal pain, and weight loss. 4. Trichomoniasis: caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, which can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. 5. Schistosomiasis: caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes, which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood in the stool. Treatment for parasitic intestinal diseases typically involves the use of antiparasitic medications, although in some cases, surgery may be necessary. Prevention measures include practicing good hygiene, avoiding contaminated food and water, and using insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites.
Protozoan infections are diseases caused by single-celled microorganisms called protozoa, which can infect various organs and systems in the body.
Protozoan infections are a group of diseases caused by single-celled organisms called protozoa. Protozoa are microscopic organisms that can be found in various environments, including soil, water, and the human body. They can cause a wide range of infections in humans, including gastrointestinal, respiratory, and bloodstream infections. Protozoan infections can be transmitted through various routes, including contaminated food and water, sexual contact, and contact with infected animals. Some common examples of protozoan infections include giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, and malaria. The symptoms of protozoan infections can vary depending on the type of infection and the severity of the illness. Some common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, and fatigue. In severe cases, protozoan infections can lead to complications such as organ damage, anemia, and death. Treatment for protozoan infections typically involves the use of antiprotozoal medications, which are designed to kill or inhibit the growth of the protozoa. In some cases, supportive care such as fluid replacement and electrolyte replacement may also be necessary. Prevention of protozoan infections involves practicing good hygiene, avoiding contaminated food and water, and taking precautions when traveling to areas where these infections are common.
DNA of protozoans refers to the genetic material found in single-celled organisms such as protozoa, which are important pathogens that can cause various diseases in humans and animals.
DNA, Protozoan refers to the genetic material of protozoans, which are single-celled organisms that belong to the kingdom Protista. Protozoans are a diverse group of organisms that can be found in a variety of environments, including soil, water, and the human body. Protozoans have their own unique DNA, which contains the genetic information necessary for their growth, development, and reproduction. This DNA is organized into chromosomes, which are structures that contain the genetic material of an organism. In the medical field, knowledge of the DNA of protozoans is important for understanding the biology of these organisms and for developing treatments for infections caused by protozoans. For example, the DNA of the protozoan Plasmodium, which causes malaria, has been extensively studied in order to develop drugs and vaccines to treat and prevent this disease.
Succinate-CoA ligases are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of succinate to succinyl-CoA, a key step in the citric acid cycle and the metabolism of fatty acids.
Succinate-CoA ligases, also known as succinyl-CoA synthetases, are enzymes that play a crucial role in the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of succinate to succinyl-CoA, which is an important intermediate in the citric acid cycle. In the medical field, succinate-CoA ligases are of interest because they are involved in the metabolism of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. For example, mutations in the genes encoding succinate-CoA ligases have been linked to certain forms of hereditary optic atrophy, a disorder that affects the eyes. In addition, succinate-CoA ligases have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets for cancer. High levels of succinate-CoA ligase activity have been observed in certain types of cancer cells, and inhibiting this enzyme has been shown to reduce the growth and survival of these cells in preclinical studies. Overall, succinate-CoA ligases play a critical role in cellular metabolism and are of interest in the medical field due to their involvement in various diseases and their potential as therapeutic targets.
Metronidazole is an antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial and parasitic infections, including giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis.
Metronidazole is an antibiotic medication that is commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial and protozoal infections. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria, which are bacteria that thrive in oxygen-poor environments. Metronidazole is often used to treat infections of the gastrointestinal tract, such as giardiasis and trichomoniasis, as well as infections of the vagina, skin, and respiratory tract. It is also sometimes used to treat infections caused by certain types of parasites, such as Entamoeba histolytica. Metronidazole is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and creams, and is typically taken orally or applied topically. It is important to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when taking metronidazole, as it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
