“…and another as Candida albicans ), were significantly more abundant in IBS (p-value < 0.05). Three zOTUs classified as Hanseniaspora ovarum , commonly found in fresh fruits 19 , were significantly less abundant in IBS (p-value < 0.05). A total of thirteen out of twenty-three fungal zOTUs that were significantly negatively associated with the IBS-control separation belonged to (at the genus level) Penicillium , Agaricus , and Hanseniaspora .…”

Alterations of the gut microbiota have been reported in various gastrointestinal disorders, but knowledge of the mycobiome is limited. We investigated the gut mycobiome of 80 patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in comparison with 64 control subjects. The fungal-specific internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) amplicon was sequenced, and mycobiome zero-radius operational taxonomic units (zOTUs) were defined representing known and unknown species and strains. The fungal community was sparse and individual-specific in all (both IBS and control) subjects. Although beta-diversity differed significantly between IBS and controls, no difference was found among clinical subtypes of IBS or in comparison with the mycobiome of subjects with bile acid malabsorption (BAM), a condition which may overlap with IBS with diarrhoea. The mycobiome alterations co-varied significantly with the bacteriome and metabolome but were not linked with dietary habits. As a putative biomarker of IBS, the predictive power of the fecal mycobiome in machine learning models was significantly better than random but insufficient for clinical diagnosis. The mycobiome presents limited therapeutic and diagnostic potential for IBS, despite co-variation with bacterial components which do offer such potential.

The testicular environment is immunoprivileged to protect germ cells from autoimmune and anti-inflammatory activities, but, on the other hand, it is susceptible to pathogens. Until now, the works that investigated the microbiological diversity in this environment were restricted to analyzing specific bacteria or viral communities. In this study, we evaluated the diversity in the seminal human microbiome using a whole-genome sequencing approach in a seminal human pool. For this, we collected 50 samples donated by participants from a public reproductive health service in Brazil. We observed a high proportion of the Bacteria domain (71.3%), whose largest groups are Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Mycobacterium, and Streptococcus. The Eukaryotic domain (27.6%) comprises Plasmodium, Trypanosoma, and Trichinella. Viruses (1.1%) are composed of Gammaretrovirus, Herv-K, and Herv-W. These findings expand the current view of microbial diversity in human semen and point out that evaluating uncultivated pathogens could be crucial before concluding reproductive and prophylactic treatments. In addition, the Herv families identified in seminal samples deserve studies with a functional and evolutionary perspective. These data contribute to identifying potential pathogens present in the semen (gamma diversity) and their correlations and opening a new front for research in the diagnosis of fertility-related diseases.

“…Although the genus Hanseniaspora has not been considered a typical opportunist pathogen, its species have been documented in different spectra of human mycoses ( Emmanouil-Nikoloussi et al., 1994 ; García-Martos et al., 1998 ; Karimi et al., 2015 ; González-Abad and Sanz, 2018 ; Jankowski et al., 2018 ). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in Brazil of H. opuntiae isolated from anovaginal samples from pregnant women.…”

“…Although rare, H. uvarum and H. opuntiae have been documented to play a pathogenic role in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients, with reports of superficial mycoses, gastroenteritis episodes, oral injuries, and invasive infections ( Emmanouil-Nikoloussi et al., 1994 ; García-Martos et al., 1998 ; Karimi et al., 2015 ; González-Abad and Sanz, 2018 ; Jankowski et al., 2018 ). Recent studies have highlighted an increase in yeast colonization during pregnancy, and vaginal fungal infections in pregnant women have been associated with increased pregnancy complications ( Disha and Haque, 2022 ).…”

In this study, we report the first isolation of Hanseniaspora opuntiae obtained from four pregnant women in Brazil. Clinical isolates were obtained from four samples taken between 35 and 37 gestational weeks, as part of the routine antenatal care for maternal colonization screening for Streptococcus agalactiae group B. The patients were immunocompetent, with two of them diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS and rDNA sequencing. While Hanseniaspora species have not traditionally been considered a typical opportunist pathogen, our findings emphasize the importance of investigating and screening for Hanseniaspora in pregnant populations, highlighting H. opuntiae as a potential agent of human infections.
