Babesiosis is one of the most common infections in free-living animals and rapidly becoming significant among human zoonoses. Cases acute renal failure humans caused by Babesia spp. have been described literature. The kidneys are characterised intense blood flow through vessels, which increases likelihood contact with intra-erythrocyte parasite. aim this study was to observe influence B. microti (ATCC 30221) on epithelial cells vitro cultured (NRK-52E line) Wistar rats' kidney. Both NRK-52E...
The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. can enter into different eukaryotic cells. Intracellular localization of bacteria may cause many changes in cell pathways like apoptosis-mediated caspase cascade. present studies focused on gene expression associated with cascade after normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) infection garinii, afzelii, and B. s.s. use oligonucleotide microarray technique enabled an level comparison genes NHDF infected spirochetes. increased was observed case CASP5,...
The course of babesiosis in humans is characterized by various intensity levels − from a subclinical level to the severe one associated with multiple organ failure, which leads death. aim this study was evaluate effect 21-day and 6-month invasion B. microti on Wistar rats spleen. Histological changes rats’ spleen were swelling splenic tissue, especially tissue adjacent capsule. In structure white pulp some rats, high concentrations lymphocytes occurred. boundary between red blurred. lot...
Gram-negative Salmonella bacilli are one of the most common bacterial causes gastrointestinal infections. Well-selected and targeted microbiological diagnostics enable detection identification etiological agent infection, however, standardized, routine recommended methods do not always allow for biological in an unambiguous manner. Next-generation sequencing has become ideal tool identifying microorganisms tracking infection transmission outbreaks epidemiological purposes.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an advanced technology that enables quick and precise analyzes of DNA RNA sequences. The use the Illumina MiniSeq NGS platform (Illumina, USA) for sequencing SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus genome allows accurate identification virus, analysis its genetic variants monitoring evolution. It a valuable tool supporting epidemiological research, developing effective strategies to combat virus better understanding COVID-19 disease it causes.Molecular surveillance...
The diagnostic assessment of water sanitary state is based mainly on the cultivation bacteria retained membrane filters. However classical microbiology methods have a lot disadvantages. More and more frequently, rapid detection identification pathogens present in molecular biology techniques. aim this study was to determine effectiveness usefulness real-time PCR method, when compared recommended culture diagnostics samples. research concerned main indicators such as: Salmonella spp.,...
<em>B. microti</em> is known as the main etiological agent of human babesiosis and there are some case studies for that disease, highlighting fact this an important "emerging tick-borne disease".
Abstract Human babesiosis is a disease reported mainly in North America, while its etiopathogenesis Europe less frequently described. However, according to the literature, human caused not only by Babesia divergens , as previously thought, but also microti . Babesiosis parasitemia with varied symptoms, and potentially different organs can become dysfunctional during this disease. Since B. penetrates blood infection, liver seems be particularly exposed these parasites, especially first phase...
