“…Yersinia enterocolitica is one of the main causative agent of acute gastroenteritis, ileitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis (Cover and Aber, 1989; Melby et al., 1982). New and extremely severe forms of Y. enterocolitica infection have been observed, such as meningitis (Cover and Aber, 1989), septic shock syndrome after blood transfusion (Prentice, 1992), lung abscesses (Cropp et al., 1984) and endocarditis (Vadillo et al., 1994). Moreover, Rabson et al.…”

The effects of iron excess and desferrioxamine in pretreated guinea-pigs on the immune response (production of Yops) and on the histological changes in infections with Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 and Y. enterocolitica 0:8 were investigated. The prior overload of the guinea pigs with Dextrofer or treatment with Desferal increased the pathogenic activity of Y. entercolitica 0:3 and led to a generalized infection. Immunoblot analysis showed that in conditions of iron overload the expression of outer membrane proteins (Yops) of Y. enterocolitica 0:8 was blocked. This was accompanied by weak changes in the tissues. The iron limited conditions stimulated production of a low molecular weight protein (17 kDa) on day 6 and easier proliferation of the bacterium. This in vivo study intends to show that in Y. enterocolitica infections a leading role is played not only by iron itself but also by the bacterial strain.

“…23,24 Lung infections of Yersinia enterocolitica have been known for a long time, and it is a known bacteria that causes pneumonia. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Moraxella osloensis has also been found in the human respiratory tract and has been reported to cause severe pneumonia in lung cancer patients. [31][32][33][34] It was found more in normal tissues, but given that both samples were COPD lesion tissue and normal tissue from cancer patients, they could be sufficiently infected.…”

The aim of the study was to use RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data of lung from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to identify the bacteria that are most commonly detected. Additionally, the study sought to investigate the differences in these infections between normal lung tissues and those affected by COPD. Patients and Methods: We re-analyzed RNA-seq data of lung from 99 COPD patients and 93 non-COPD smokers to determine the extent to which the metagenomes differed between the two groups and to assess the reliability of the metagenomes. We used unmapped reads in the RNA-seq data that were not aligned to the human reference genome to identify more common infections in COPD patients. Results: We identified 18 bacteria that exhibited significant differences between the COPD and non-COPD smoker groups. Among these, Yersinia enterocolitica was found to be more than 30% more abundant in COPD. Additionally, we observed difference in detection rate based on smoking history. To ensure the accuracy of our findings and distinguish them from false positives, we doublecheck the metagenomic profile using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). We were able to identify and remove specific species that might have been misclassified as other species in Kraken2 but were actually Staphylococcus aureus, as identified by BLAST analysis. Conclusion:This study highlighted the method of using unmapped reads, which were not typically used in sequencing data, to identify microorganisms present in patients with lung diseases such as COPD. This method expanded our understanding of the microbial landscape in COPD and provided insights into the potential role of microorganisms in disease development and progression.
