“…After erosion, bacterial colonization in hepatic and lung cysts leads to suppuration, rupture, or abscess formation which raises the problem of differential diagnosis with hydatidosis (11). Black color and increased cyst fluid density often mean some microorganisms' impurities or inflammation.…”

“…Clinically, such a disease is often asymptomatic. However, it can be discovered accidentally by observing the clinical signs of increased size or the cyst's complications as compression pain or rupture respectively (11,12). Generally, the contained rupture may be subsisting silent clinically, whereas the communicating one might cause biliary infection and liver abscess.…”

Isolation and identification of the bacteria-infected hydatid cysts of livestock animals were carried out. The study lasted for five months. A total of 302 slaughtered livestock were checked to find hydatid cyst naturally infected livers and lungs of sheep and goat at local Mosul abattoir/ Nineveh/ Iraq. Each cysts' aspirated fluid was cultured separately on blood or nutrient agar at 37C for 24 hours then detected secondary bacteria. Each bacterium was incubated independently with 1000 viable protoscolices in a culture tube containing tryptic soy broth at 37°C and examined every two hours for 6 hours, followed by 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours afterward. The degeneration rate of protoscolices resulting from treatment with bacteria isolated depending on viability was studied in vitro. The results were revealed that the liver was the preponderant affected organ in sheep and goats. About 57.1% of sheep and 50% of goats harbored fertile cysts. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria were observed in the infected cysts. The most common bacteria infect the cyst was Escherichia coli. The protoscoleces treated with the bacterial isolates had completely deteriorated, whereas 97% of protoscoleces throughout the control groups were still alive and intact even after completing the incubation time. The experiments detect a significant time-dependent scolicidal effect on decreased viability of protoscolices in vitro study. This could pave the door for more research into the scolicidal validity of bacteria or their by-products as protoscolices both in vitro and in vivo.

“…CE1 & CE2 cysts were active & fertile with viable protoscolices, CE3a & CE3b cysts were in a transitional stage with compromised integrity of cyst, but CE4 & CE5 cysts were inactive with degenerative changes (Rinaldi et al, 2014). The hydatid cyst wall was double echogenic lines separated by a hypo-echogenic layer of three cyst wall layers (Moguillanski et al, 1999;Mouhsine et al, 2014). Hydatid sands were multiple echogenic foci within the lesion, a sign called the snowstorm sign (Gharbi et al, 1981;Polat et al, 2005).…”

Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic infection caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus affecting mainly the liver. Diagnosis of hepatic hydatidosis depends on clinical presentations, serological assays and radiological findings. The present study included 40 patients suffered from hepatic hydatid cysts. They were classified into 4 groups according to therapeutic protocols they received. All cases were subjected to serological assay, radiological examination to categorize cysts and open surgical intervention for treatment. Samples of hydatid fluid and cysts were examined regarding parasitological, morphometric and histopathological aspects. Viability of cyst contents was assessed using eosin stain. All samples were cultivated for microbiological assessment. Viability was 95-100% in GI (no previous treatment), 50-85% in GII, 25-45% in GIII (single PAIR technique and single Albendazole course) and 0-10% in GIV (repeated PAIR and medical treatment). Enterococci and Staphylococcus aureus were detected in one sample in GI and 8 samples in GIV respectively.
