“…Except for isolates from case reports (11,14,18,22,29), to date, there are few studies that report antimicrobial susceptibilities for Desulfovibrio organisms. Lozniewski et al (20) tested 16 isolates and found that all were susceptible to imipenem and metronidazole and resistant to penicillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, and cefoxitin.…”

“…The organisms are usually recovered from mixed cultures and may cause human infections. They have been isolated from a variety of sources, such as brain abscess (18,21), periodontal pocket (2,16), blood (11,18,22,25), appendix (1), liver (26,29), urine (14), and colon and bowel (6,17,18,30,31). Bacteremia appears to be the only instance where a Desulfovibrio sp.…”

Seventeen human clinical isolates representing four species of Desulfovibrio were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequences and tests for catalase, indole, nitrate, bile, urease, formate-fumarate stimulation, desulfoviridin, motility, and hydrogen sulfide production, plus susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Eighty additional strains representing 10 phenotypically similar genera (Bilophila, Selenomonas, Capnocytophaga, Campylobacter, Bacteroides, Sutterella, Anaerobiospirillum, Dialister, Veillonella, and Mobiluncus) were included for comparison. All Desulfovibrio species produced H 2 S and were desulfoviridin positive, and all Desulfovibrio species except D. piger were motile. The four Desulfovibrio species could be distinguished from each other using tests for catalase, indole, nitrate, urease, and growth on bile, with the following results ( Sulfate-reducing bacteria are a diverse group of organisms that include Desulfovibrio, Desulfomicrobium, Desulfobulbus, Desulfobacter, Desulfococcus, Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacterium, Desulfonema, Desulfotomaculum, and Thermodesulfobacterium. This group of organisms has a variety of morphologies, biochemical properties, and nutritional requirements. With the exception of Desulfovibrio spp., they are found only in the natural environment (4,30).Desulfovibrio is one of the first genera described and the most thoroughly studied genus among the sulfate-reducing bacteria (4, 5). These are sulfate-reducing, nonfermenting, anaerobic, gram-negative bacilli characterized by the presence of a pigment, desulfoviridin, which fluoresces red in alkaline pH and blue-green in acid pH under long-wavelength UV light (15,28) and by a strong sulfurous odor in broth media.Desulfovibrio spp. are ubiquitous, found in the environment, such as soil, water, and sewage, as well as in the digestive tracts of animals and humans (4,5,17,20,25,27,31). Two of the Desulfovibrio species, D. piger and D. fairfieldensis, have never been isolated from outside the human body and can be considered natural inhabitants of the intestinal tract, where sulfates abound (10,17,19). The organisms are usually recovered from mixed cultures and may cause human infections. They have been isolated from a variety of sources, such as brain

Gut microbiome diversity in acute infective and chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases in North India

et al. 2016

The disease profile in the Indian population provides a unique opportunity for studying the host microbiome interaction in both infectious (amebiasis) and autoimmune diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from a similar environment and genetic background. Analysis of fecal samples from untreated amebic liver abscess (ALA) patients, Entamoeba histolytica (Eh)-negative and -positive asymptomatic individuals, and pus samples from naive ALA patients revealed a significant reduction in Lactobacillus in asymptomatic individuals (Eh ?ve) and ALA patients. Two anaerobic genera, namely Bacteroides and Peptostreptococcus, were detected in naive ALA pus samples. Analysis of fecal samples from amoebic colitis patients showed a significant decline in population of Bacteroides, Clostridium coccoides and leptum subgroup, Lactobacillus, Campylobacter, and Eubacterium, whereas a significant increase in Bifidobacterium was observed. Mucosa-associated bacterial flora analysis from IBD patients and healthy controls revealed a significant difference in concentration of bacteria among predominating and subdominating genera between ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) patients, and controls. In contrast to the mucosal studies, we found a significant increase in lactobacilli population in fecal samples of active UC patients. Another study revealed a significant decrease of Clostridium coccoides and leptum clusters in fecal samples of active UC patients along with decreased concentrations of fecal SCFAs, especially of nbutyrate, iso-butyrate, and acetate. We therefore found similar perturbations in gut microbiome in both infectious and autoimmune diseases, indicating inflammation to be the major driver for changes in gut microbiome.

“…vulgaris H. can be grown and manipulated in the laboratory with ease; thus, this strain has been established as a useful model for the study of SRMs and as a representative of the broadly distributed Desulfovibrio genus, which is found in a variety of habitats 7,[10][11][12][13][14][15] . Much of the past interest in SRMs has been focused on their involvement in biocorrosion of ferrous metal installations in the petroleum industry 16,17 and of concrete structures in wastewater collection systems 18,19 .…”

How sulphate-reducing microorganisms cope with stress: lessons from systems biology

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

| Sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRMs) are a phylogenetically diverse group of anaerobes encompassing distinct physiologies with a broad ecological distribution. As SRMs have important roles in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and various metals, an understanding of how these organisms respond to environmental stresses is of fundamental and practical importance. In this Review, we highlight recent applications of systems biology tools in studying the stress responses of SRMs, particularly Desulfovibrio spp., at the cell, population, community and ecosystem levels. The syntrophic lifestyle of SRMs is also discussed, with a focus on system-level analyses of adaptive mechanisms. Such information is important for understanding the microbiology of the global sulphur cycle and for developing biotechnological applications of SRMs for environmental remediation, energy production, biocorrosion control, wastewater treatment and mineral recovery.
