“…In conclusion, we demonstrate the point of entry for L. lactis into the human bloodstream and show results implying that L. lactis can be a pathogen of bacteremia, as previous reports have shown (1,2,7,8). Our report is also a suspected case of S. nepalensis bacteremia; further investigation is needed for confirmation.…”

“…T he World Health Organization End TB Strategy aims to end the global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic by 2035 (1). The US Preventive Service Task Force (2) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 3recommend screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in populations at increased risk for infection or progression to TB disease, including foreignborn persons and former residents of countries with increased TB prevalence. Seventy-four percent of active TB cases in San Diego County, California, USA, occur among foreign-born persons, most of whom are from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Mexico; 80% result from reactivated LTBI (5).…”

“…Another advantage of using a DNAbased microarray approach may be to limit one's exposure to Leuconostoc spp. Leuconostoc spp., including L. mesenteroides and L. pseudomesenteroides, are emerging as human pathogens that can lead to severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals (Albanese et al 2006;Bou et al 2008;Deng et al 2012;Kumudhan and Mars 2004;Shin et al 2011;Taneja et al 2005;Tas ‚kapilioglu et al 2011;Tholpady et al 2010;Wong et al 2012;Yang et al 2015). However, considering the rarity of Leuconostoc infections in people and the large presence of Leuconostoc spp.…”

Leuconostoc spp. Associated with Root Rot in Sugar Beet and Their Interaction with Rhizoctonia solani

Rhizoctonia root and crown rot is an important disease problem in sugar beet caused by Rhizoctonia solani and also shown to be associated with Leuconostoc spp. Initial Leuconostoc studies were conducted with only a few isolates and the relationship of Leuconostoc with R. solani is poorly understood; therefore, a more thorough investigation was conducted. In total, 203 Leuconostoc isolates were collected from recently harvested sugar beet roots in southern Idaho and southeastern Oregon during 2010 and 2012: 88 and 85% Leuconostoc mesenteroides, 6 and 15% L. pseudomesenteroides, 2 and 0% L. kimchi, and 4 and 0% unrecognized Leuconostoc spp., respectively. Based on 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, haplotype 11 (L. mesenteroides isolates) comprised 68 to 70% of the isolates in both years. In pathogenicity field studies with commercial sugar beet 'B-7', all Leuconostoc isolates caused more rot (P < 0.0001; a = 0.05) when combined with R. solani than when inoculated alone in both years. Also, 46 of the 52 combination treatments over the 2 years had significantly more rot (P < 0.0001; a = 0.05) than the fungal check. The data support the conclusion that a synergistic interaction leads to more rot when both Leuconostoc spp. and R. solani are present in sugar beet roots.

EFSA is requested to assess the safety of a broad range of biological agents in the context of notification for market authorisation as sources of food and feed additives, food enzymes and plant protection products. The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) assessment was developed to provide a harmonised generic preassessment to support safety risk assessments performed by EFSA's scientific Panels. The safety of unambiguously defined biological agents (at the highest taxonomic unit appropriate for the purpose for which an application is intended), and the completeness of the body of knowledge are assessed. Identified safety concerns for a taxonomic unit are, where possible and reasonable in number, reflected as 'qualifications' in connection with a recommendation for a QPS status. The list of QPS recommended biological agents was reviewed and updated in the current opinion and therefore becomes the valid list. The 2016 update reviews previously assessed microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts and viruses used for plant protection purposes following an Extensive Literature Search strategy. The taxonomic units related to the new notifications received since the 2013 QPS opinion, were periodically evaluated for a QPS status and the results published as Statements of the BIOHAZ Panel. Carnobacterium divergens, Lactobacillus diolivorans, Microbacterium imperiale, Pasteuria nishizawae, Pediococcus parvulus, Bacillus flexus, Bacillus smithii, Xanthomonas campestris and Candida cylindracea were recommended for the QPS list. All taxonomic units previously recommended for the 2013 QPS list had their status reconfirmed as well their qualifications with the exception of Pasteuria nishizawae for which the qualification was removed. The exclusion of filamentous fungi and enterococci from the QPS evaluations was reconsidered but monitoring will be maintained and the status will be re-evaluated in the next QPS Opinion update. Evaluation of bacteriophages should remain as a case-by-case procedure and should not be considered for QPS status. Acknowledgements: The BIOHAZ Panel wishes to thank the EFSA staff member: Mirena Ivanova for the support provided to this scientific output.
