“…Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens is a rare cause of a potentially zoonotic invasive disease (e.g. bacteraemia, abdominal infection) and mainly affects immunocompromised patients [3] , [5] . Here, we report the first case of an A. succiniciproducens prosthetic joint infection.…”

“…A co-occurrence network analysis was conducted using R-Studio (V.4.2.1) and Gephi v.0.9.2 software [ 43 ]. The potential pathogens were identified via the functional annotation of prokaryotic taxa (FAPROTAX) database [ 44 ] and searched as keywords in the Web of Science to identify their hosts and symptoms [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ].

The host’s physiological well-being is intricately associated with the gut microbiota. However, previous studies regarding the intestinal microbiota have focused on domesticated or captive birds. This study used high-throughput sequencing technology to identify the gut bacterial communities of sympatric bean geese, hooded cranes, and domestic geese. The results indicated that the gut bacterial diversity in domestic geese and hooded cranes showed considerably higher diversity than bean geese. The gut bacterial community compositions varied significantly among the three hosts (p < 0.05). Compared to the hooded crane, the bean goose and domestic goose were more similar in their genotype and evolutionary history, with less difference in the bacterial community composition and assembly processes between the two species. Thus, the results might support the crucial role of host genotypes on their gut microbiota. The gut bacteria of wild hooded cranes and bean geese had a greater capacity for energy metabolism compared to domestic geese, suggesting that wild birds may rely more on their gut microbiota to survive in cold conditions. Moreover, the intestines of the three hosts were identified as harboring potential pathogens. The relative abundance of pathogens was higher in the hooded crane compared to the other two species. The hooded crane gut bacterial community assemblage revealed the least deterministic process with the lowest filtering/selection on the gut microbiota, which might have been a reason for the highest number of pathogens result. Compared to the hooded crane, the sympatric bean goose showed the least diversity and relative abundance of pathogens. The intestinal bacterial co-occurrence network showed the highest stability in the bean goose, potentially enhancing host resistance to adverse environments and reducing the susceptibility to pathogen invasion. In this study, the pathogens were also discovered to overlap among the three hosts, reminding us to monitor the potential for pathogen transmission between poultry and wild birds. Overall, the current findings have the potential to enhance the understanding of gut bacterial and pathogenic community structures in poultry and wild birds.

“…Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens is a motile gram-negative organism that forms extended spirals. Only a few dozen cases of infection with this pathogen have been reported, [15][16][17] and the infection usually occurs in patients with liver disease, alcohol use, or diabetes. Affected patients usually present with a nonspecific illness that is characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and gastrointestinal distress.…”

A 65-year-old woman with autoimmune hepatitis and acute liver failure was transferred to this hospital for an evaluation for liver transplantation. The patient had been in her usual state of health until 6 years before this admission, when she received abnormal results of liver-function tests at another hospital. She underwent a follow-up evaluation that revealed an elevated antinuclear antibody titer. Levels of ceruloplasmin, α 1-antitrypsin, and antimitochondrial antibodies were normal, and tests for tissue transglutaminase antibodies and viral hepatitis were negative. A presumptive diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis with cirrhosis was made, and treatment with glucocorticoids was recommended. However, results of liver-function tests reportedly normalized without treatment during the following year. Approximately 7 weeks before this admission, malaise, fatigue, and jaundice developed in the patient, and she was evaluated at the other hospital. The alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were elevated at 1844 IU per liter (reference range, 0 to 40) and 1451 IU per liter (reference range, 0 to 37), respectively. She had a bilirubin level of 7.9 mg per deciliter (135.1 μmol per liter; reference range, 0 to 1.0 mg per deciliter [0 to 17.1 μmol per liter]), an antinuclear antibody titer of 1:640 (reference range, <1:160), detectable anti-smooth muscle antibodies, and an IgG level of 2584 mg per deciliter (reference range, 700 to 1600). Ultrasonography of the right upper quadrant revealed a nodular liver. Prednisone therapy was begun. The patient's condition improved, and plans were made to transition treatment from prednisone to azathioprine. However, the patient elected to taper the course of prednisone within 4 weeks and started to take natural supplements instead of the prescribed azathioprine. Two weeks later, approximately 7 days before this admission, the patient's daughter noted that her mother had jaundice. Four days before this admission, the
