“…In this study, we found that OTUs positively associated with worsening clinical parameters, which reflected hepatic decompensation. Several OTUs were enriched in the late stage of LC and were all of oral origin, including E. corrodens, G. haemolysans, Leptotrichia, F. periodonticum, Selenomonas sp., A. odontolyticus, and S. moorei, which have been reported to cause opportunistic infections, such as a liver abscess or endocarditis, or have been associated with colorectal cancer (Malik et al, 2010;Woo et al, 2010;Chao et al, 2011;Warren et al, 2013;Revest et al, 2016;Eriksson and Lif, 2017;Yu et al, 2017;de Carvalho Baptista et al, 2018). Intestinal colonization of bacteria of oral origin has been associated with many diseases.…”

“…Much of the early literature regarding CNE focused on infections with so-called "fastidious" organisms that were traditionally difficult to grow in blood culture, due to specific nutritional requirements of these organisms. These included a number of oral Gram-negative bacteria (Haemophilus species, Aggregatibacter species, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens and Kingella species) that came to be known by the acronym "HACEK" (reviewed in [12]). Automated blood culture methodology involved the use of media that lacked particular nutrients like hemin, and extended incubation of 3 weeks was recommended in order to isolate HACEK group and other fastidious Gram negatives (ref).…”

Culture-negative endocarditis (CNE) is a challenging clinical entity, both diagnostically and therapeutically. In this chapter, the changed epidemiology and microbiology of CNE are reviewed with cases highlighting typical pathogens in patients pre-treated with antibiotics, less common fastidious pathogens such as bacteria of the H"CEK group, nutritionally deicient bacteria, Legionella spp. and Mycobacteria, quintessential CNE pathogens such as Bartonella spp., Coxiella burneti and Tropheryma whipplei, as well as fungal CNE. Contemporary diagnostic methods are reviewed including polymerase chain reaction-based pathogen s RN" ampliication coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS). Finally, treatment options per the recently updated "merican Heart "ssociation and European Society for Cardiology guideline are presented.

“…[46] or human specific pathogens [5,12], some haemophili may be an important etiologic factors in many local and invasive infections. Both H. influenzae and the less common H. parainfluenzae can cause pharyngitis and tonsillitis, otitis, sinusitis, epiglottitis, meningitis, bronchitis, sepsis or bacterial endocarditis [32,45,55]. They are also frequently identified in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and even in acute septic arthritis or osteoarthritis [6,9,17,18,21,38,55].…”

Background. Haemophili are common human microbiota representatives. The aim of our study was to investigate a diversity of Haemophilus spp. isolates selected from clinical specimens on the basis of biochemical characteristics, biotypes distribution, protein profiles and antimicrobial resistance. Results. A total of 893/1025 (87%) of haemophili isolates were identified: 260/1025 (25%) as H. influenzae and 633/1025 (62%) as H. parainfluenzae. Moreover, a group of 107/1025 (10%) isolates without species identification (with e.g. abnormal numerical profile) was described as Haemophilus spp. Within the H. influenzae isolates, biotypes II and III were in a great majority (92/893; 10%, each), whereas among H. parainfluenzae, the most commonly occurring was biotype I and II (301/893, 34% and 178/893, 20%, respectively). A similar prevalence of biotypes was obtained regardless of the patient’s age or health condition or the type of specimen. A production of beta-lactamases was shown in 46/893 (5%) haemophili, both H. influenzae (13/46, 28%) and H. parainfluenzae (33/46, 72%) isolates. On the basis of haemophili biochemical characteristics, the cluster analysis using the UPGMA method demonstrated a high degree of phenotypic similarity due to a small distances between isolates taken from both unhealthy children and adults. Conclusion. Based on biochemical characteristics, about 90% of haemophili clinical isolates representing human-specific respiratory microbiota were positively identified as H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae. The same differences in biotypes and antimicrobial resistance among isolates selected from healthy people or from patients with chronic and recurrent diseases were detected.
