Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:
Cervical cancer is the most frequent cancer among women in Senegal. However, there are few data concerning the HPV types inducing neoplasia and cervical cancers and their prevalence, in the general population of Senegal
.AIMS:
The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of HPV infection in Senegalese women aged from 18 years and older.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A study was performed on 498 cervix samples collected from healthy women aged 18 and older in Dakar. 438 other samples were collected from three other regions, Thiès, Saint Louis and Louga. The samples were screened for 21 HPV genotypes using an HPV type-specific E7 PCR bead-based multiplex genotyping assay (TS-MPG) which is a laboratory-developed method for the detection of HPV.
RESULTS:
The prevalence for pHR/HR-HPV in the region of Dakar was 20.68%. HPV 52 (3.21%) was the most prevalent HPV type, followed by HPV 16 (3.01%) and HPV 31 (3.01%). In the regions of Thiès, Louga and Saint Louis, the prevalence for pHR/HR-HPV was 29.19%, 23.15% and 20%, respectively
CONCLUSION:
The study revealed the specificity of the HR-HPV prevalence in Dakar and other regions of Senegal. The patterns differs from the one observed in the other regions of the world and rise the issue of the development of vaccination program in the country. Such a program should take into account the real HPV prevalence for an effective protection of HPV-associated diseases.

Abstract:

Soil and water pollution are major global concerns of environmental pollution globally,the release of contaminants into the environment by human activities has increased over the past decades. Soil contamination by mining activities has attracted considerable public attention and the magnitude of the problem in the sampling site calls for immediate action. The use of microorganisms for the recovery of heavy metals from soil sediments has generated growing attention because of the inadequacy and high cost of conventional method of metal treatment technologies. Application of natural and abundant sorption material known as biosorbents comprising of microbial biomass and agricultural waste has drawn attention in the scientific world.

This research was aimed to further exploit the potentials of some bacterial specie for the removal of heavy metal from contaminated mining soils, this bacterial species were isolated from the mining soil and the soil was analyzed for it heavy metal content. The toxic metal of interest for biosorption in this work were lead, cupper, and chromium and the biosorbent used were Bacillus  firmus , Bacillus brevis and pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This bacterial species were tested for their tolerance ability in different heavy metal concentration It was recorded that pseudomonas aeruginosa was tolerant to lead at 800mgl-1Bacillus lentus to cupper at 860mgl -1 and Bacillus firmus to chromium at1000mgl-1. The biosorption ability was also studied for 7days and was calculated using beer lambert’s law of biosorption percentage   and they all showed good uptake ability with Bacillus firmus removing 96.37% cupper, 93.54% lead and 39.24% chromium.  Bacillus brevis remove 97% Cupper, 98% lead and 36% chromium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was able to absorb 97% each of copper and lead and also 36% of chromium. This is a very important and economic friendly technology for heavy metal bioremediation at cheaper cost.

He is the director of Laboratory Sciences Research Center, Golestan University of Medical Sciences. He has published more than 30 papers in reputed journals and has been serving as an editorial board member of Laboratory Sciences journal

Abstract:

Conventional methods for cancer treatment including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy have limitations. In this regard, a new practical strategy, combination of conventional methods with bacteriotherapy, showed a considerable effect on tumor regression and metastasis inhibition. Bacterial-assisted tumor-targeted therapy as therapeutic/gene/drug delivery vehicles is a huge interest for research in the treatment of tumors. The use of whole live, attenuated and/or genetically-modified bacteria only or with combination of conventional methods with different strategies was found to be superior in the experimental models of cancer (tumor regression and increased survival rate).

Abstract:

Presently emergence of multiple drug resistance to human pathogenic organisms is serious problem around the world, so development of alternative antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases is the need of hour. One approach is to search for medicinal plants, for possible antimicrobial property. In the present study five solvents viz. ethanol, methanol, chloroform, hexane and water was used for extraction from eleven selected plants and used against E. coli, P. aeruginosa which normally found in diabetic patients while C. albicans found in cancer patients. A total of 55 plant extracts were used in the present study. Antimicrobial activity of plant extract found maximum in Azadirachata sp. followed by Embilica sp., Psidium sp., Citrus sp., Murraya sp., Cannabis sp. and Piper sp. and minimum in Amaranthus sp. and Coriandrum sp. Ethanolic extracts of Azadirachata sp. and Embilica sp. while aqueous extracts of Cannabis sp. and Embilica sp. was most effective against E. coli. Ethanolic extract of Cannabis sp. showed maximum zone of inhibition against P. aeruginosa and methanolic extract of citrus sp. found most effective against C. albicans among eleven selected anticancer and antidiabetic plants. The MIC value of the ethanol extract of most promising plant i.e Azadirachata indica was recorded at 5% (5g/100ml). Results from the present study showed that 95% of ethanol extracts of Azadirachata indica had antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms. Antibiotic susceptibility of test microorganisms displayed that imipenem antibiotic has higher zone of inhibition of against E. coli followed by levofloxacin, cefotaxime, aztreonam, ceftazidime and amikacin. Against P. aeruginosa showed maximum inhibition zone followed by cefotaxime, amikacin, imipenem, azetronam and ceftazidime, while maximum zone of inhibition was recorded against C. albicans using ketoconazole followed by miconazole, nystatin, clotrimazole. These antibiotic principles are actually the defensive mechanisms of the plants against pathogens. Laboratory and clinical studies of eleven selected medicinal plants especially the most promising plant extract are required in order to better understand the antimicrobial properties so as to allows the scientific community to recommend their uses as an accessible alternative to synthetic antibiotics.

Title: Awakening of Streptomyces: Novel insights into germination of bacterial arthrospores
Speaker
Biography:

Jan Bobek is the Head of Laboratory of Bacteriology in the Institute of Immunology and Microbiology in Prague. His entire professional career encompasses studies of bacterial gene expressions and their regulations. He has published about 20 papers in impacted scientific journals.

 

 

Abstract:

Streptomyces is a bacterial clade deeply studied for the capacity of its members to produce a wide variety of valuable compounds including antibiotics. Spore germination, as a developmental counterpoint to the production phase, represents an exceptional study model of bacterial cell differentiation that presents a complete transformation of cellular morphology and the restoration of all physiological processes. Dormant spores possess unique intracellular conditions where macromolecules are present, stabilized in a trehalose-milieu. The subsequent water influx into the hydrophobic cells retriggers the cellular metabolism. Then, germination can be understood as a sequence of cellular responses to external signals that are eventually reflected in complete cell reconstruction. The whole process is subjected to various controlling mechanisms that are responsible for appropriate changes in gene expression. Even production of secondary metabolites has been found recently presumably to coordinate the development by means of the intercellular communication. Focusing on the fore mentioned points, current knowledge about the process of germination in Streptomyces will be presented.

Abstract:

Crithmum maritimum (sea fennel) is a halophyte plant that grows spontaneously along the Italian East coasts; it is equipped with adaptive mechanisms that enables it to complete its entire life-clycle at high salinity and hence to generate economic yields although exposed to salt stress conditions. Its valuable nutritional and functional traits (i.e. high content in C vitamin, flavonoids, polyphenols, etc.) makes this blue source a sustainable and economically valuable opportunity for industrial manufacturing/commercialization of high value products. Currently, sea fennel is only marginally exploited by few artisan or semi-industrial enterprises for manufacturing of unfermented preserves in brine or olive oil, pesto-like sauces, fresh-cut and semi-finished products and no fermented preserves are commercialized, yet in either national and international markets. Given these premises, this research was aimed at exploiting Italian sea fennel cultivars, with a high adaptation to adriatic climates, high nutrients density and unique functional properties, for the production of fermented sea-fennel based preserved. To this end, the microbiota dominating during the natural fermentation of sea fennel sprouts in brine was monitored by using culture-dependent (viable counting, isolation of pure cultures) and independent microbilogical methods (PCR-DGGE and next-generation sequencing). In parallel, the main techconological parameters of the fermented sea fennel sprouts (pH, TTA, lactic acid and acetic acid contet, C vitamin content) and the isolated lactic acid bacteria cultures (acidifying activity, CO2 production, etc.) were also investigated. As a result, the main lactic acid bacteria species guiding the fermentation were identified, isolated and preliminary characterized.

Abstract:

Mannitol is a six-carbon compound, classified as sugar alcohol or polyol. It is similiar to sorbitol or xylitol. Occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables. Mannitol is used in the pharmaceutical and food industries, can be only partially absorbed in the intestines and has zero glycemic index, also is half as sweet as sucrose. Therefore mannitol is used as a sweetner, most often due to its high cost in combination with other sweeteners. As a food additive it is considererd a healthy ingredient. Mannitol is known as osmotic diuretic, has antioxidant properties, and neutralizes hydroxyl radicals. Currently, is industrially produced through catalytic hydrogenation of a 1: 1 glucose and fructose mixture using high temperature and pressure. However, production of manitol on industrial scale is not efficient due to the fact that, the final mixture contains only 25% mannitol. What is more, products of this reaction still require to be purified.
Due to high production cost and low efficiency, new biotechnological production methods are highly desirable nowadays. This study focuses around the use of lactic acid bacteria, which are capable of converting D-fructose into D-mannitol through mannitol dehydrogenases.
In this study we use Lactobacillus hilgardii to produce mannitol. This strain was isolated from mead, where its influence was unfavorable. However, properties of the environment such like mead adapted this strian to be a potential candidate to be a efficient mannitol producer.

Title: Pheri - Sequence based classification of bacteriophages

Time : 16:00 -16:30

Speaker
Biography:

Jaroslav Budis graduated recently from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. Despite the age of 31, he is a main autor and co-author of several publications in genomics, metagenomics and bioinformatics and 4 patent applications in non-invasive chromosomal detection, fetal disorders and the protection of genomic data, one of which has already been approved. He leads a team of 8 bioinformatics scientists in the Geneton 

Abstract:

Bacteriophages are viral particles that infect and replicate inside bacterial organisms. Since they are specific to a particular strain of bacteria, advances in their research could lead to novel means of targeted treatment without adverse effects on natural microbiome in patient’s body. Moreover, this treatment could be effective against bacterial strains with antibiotic resistance. One of the main bottlenecks of bacteriophage research is inability to cultivate some of the phages due to missing information about their hosts.

We designed a bioinformatics pipeline, called Pheri (Phage Host ExploRatIon), to predict bacteriophage hosts from its genomic sequence. The decision is supported by a set of genes that should correspond to the specificity of the phage. We evaluated the pipeline on a set of 6277 phage sequences downloaded from several publicly available databases.

Our pipeline has a potential to assist in discovery and characterization of novel phages and underlying mechanisms behind their behavior.

Title: Identification of microbial diversity in grape must by whole metagenome sequencing

Time : 16:30 - 17:00

Speaker
Biography:

Abstract:

Wine is a complex beverage, which consist of hundreds of metabolites through the action of bacteria and yeasts. These microbial communities play an important role during the winemaking process, as they metabolize sugars from grapes and produce secondary metabolites that influence aromatic quality of wine. However, there is not enough knowledge about these microbial communities. Our goal is to accurately identify bacteria, yeasts, and especially bacteriophages, the most abundant organisms in biosphere, in grape must from Small Carpathian wine-producing region through the whole metagenomic sequencing method.
We extracted total DNA from the grape must and performed whole metagenome sequencing approach using Illumina NextSeq platform. Data obtained were analyzed with several bioinformatic methods. We used Meta-spades to assembly reads. The likely taxonomic source of each contig was estimated using BLAST. VirFinder was used to identify bacteriophage sequences from unidentified bacterial contigs. Reads were then classified with Clark using bacterial, viral and fungi database. We summarized taxonomic labels to the form of Krona graphs.
The whole metagenome sequencing approach allowed the identification of complex microbial community. We identified a good amount of microbial diversity and also some potential bacteriophage sequences.
Wine has a very diverse community of microorganisms. We examined this variety of microbial communities in grape must from Small Carpathian wine-producing region. This study allowed for a better characterization of grape must microbiome and helped to understand specificity of wine in this region.

Title: The purpose of temperature of fever
Speaker
Biography:

K M Yacob is a practicing Physician in the field of Healthcare in the state of Kerala in India for the last 30 years and is very much interested in basic research.

Abstract:

When the disease becomes threat to life or organs blood circulation decreases, Temperature of fever will emerges to increase prevailing blood circulation. And it acts as a protective covering of the body to sustain life. When blood flow decrease to brain, the patient becomes fainted-delirious. If we try to decreases temperature of fever, the blood circulation will further reduced. Blood circulation never increases without temperature increase. Delirious can never be cured without increase in blood circulation. The temperature of fever is not a surplus temperature or it is not to be eliminated from the body. During fever, our body temperature increases like a brooding hen`s increased body temperature. The actual treatment to fever is to increase blood circulation. Two ways to increase blood circulation. (1) Never allow body temperature to lose and (2) Apply heat from outside to the body. When the temperature produced by body due to fever and heat which we applied on the body combines together, the blood circulation increases. Then body will stop to produce heat to increase blood circulation. And body will get extra heat from outside without any usage of energy. How can we prove that the temperature of fever is to increase blood circulation? If we ask any type of question related to fever by assuming that the temperature of fever is to increase blood circulation we will get a clear answer. If avoid or evade from this definition we will never get proper answer to even a single question. If we do any type of treatment by assuming that the temperature of fever is to increase blood circulation , the body will accept, at the same time body will resist whatever treatment to decrease blood circulation. No further evidence is required to prove the temperature of fever is to increase blood circulation.
