11 Instruments for identification Semi-automated phenotypic systems Molecular methods MALDI-TOF MS

12 ??? Automated systems??? Rapid ID 32 Strep system (T. G. Jensen et al. CMI, 1999) Phoenix automated system (G. Brigante et al., JCM. 2006) VITEK (M. Haanperä, et al. JCM, 2007) All the automated identification systems have difficulty in identification of NHS to the species level, especially for the Mitis group.

13 API panels, Crystal panels, Vitek cards, MicroScan conventional panels, Phoenix panels, Sensititre panels

14 Evaluation of the Rapid ID 32 Strep system Jensen TG, Konradsen HB, Bruun B CMI: 1999,5: strains: Pyogenic (n=29): 86% correct identification. OK Viridans (n=51): 65% to the species level. Worst for the Mitis group. NOT OK Enterococcal (n=27): 93% Correct identificatopn. OK

15 16S rrna gene Gene analysis SodA gene (Magnganese-dependent superoxide dismutase) RnpB gene (RNase P RNA) Tuf gene (elongation factor Tu) GroESL gene (heat shock protein) Rpo gene (beta-subunit of RNA polymearse) No single gene analysis is sufficient for species identification. Multi-gene analysis - ddl, gdh, rpo, soda

17 Oralis cluster Mitis-pneumoniae cluster FIG. 1. Phylogenetic tree based on ITS sequences of the 11. S. mitis (Smit), 11 S. oralis (Soral) and 17 S. pneumoniae (Spneu) strains using unrooted neighbor joining method. No distinct cluster were formed according to the species. It clearly demonstrates that S. mitis, S. pneumoniae and S. oralis are genetically closely related species and cannot be discriminated from each other based on ITS sequences.

18 What is so special about the Mitis group The Mitis group contains species that are important clinical pathogens and are geneticallly closely related. The memebers are natural competent for genetic transformation and homologous recombination happened among species S. pneumoniae, S. mitis, S. pseudopneumoniae cluster might evolved from the same ancester: pneumoncoccus-like bacteria. The memebers have strikingly different pathogenic potentials. S. pneumonae is among the most frequent microbial killers, while S. mitis and S. oralis are the most dominant endocarditis pathogen. Killian et al PlosOne 3: 1-11.

19 Partial gdh sequencing Gdh gene: house keeping gene, encoding for glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase. Use of housekeeping gene sequencing for species identification of viridans streptococci. P. Kiratisin et al. Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease : demonstrated that sequencing af gdh (zwf) gene could be discriminative enough for species identification in this group of Streptococcus with limited intraspecies variation.

20 S. pneumoniae cluster S. mitis cluster S. oralis cluster FIG. 2. Minimal evolution algorithm (suppressed) using the MEGA 4 program, based on partial gdh sequences of 11 S. oralis, 17 S. pneumoniae and 11 S. mitis strains. It shows that the three species forms three distinct clusters. The S. oralis cluster has longer distance to the two other clusters, indicating that S. pneumoniae and S. mitis are genetically closer related based on gdh gene evolution. There are three subclusters within the S. mitis cluster, indicating that the species S. mitis contains a heterogeneous group of strains.

34 There are many curious - and dangerous bacteria! Laser-diagnostics! (Mass spectrometry) With laser diagnostics you can very quick, cheap and secure make a catch of them at least with respect to what you shall call them! but can they have a susceptibility testing with this terrifying machine?
