Environmental reservoirs of the drug-resistant pathogenic yeast Candida auris

Candia auris is an emerging human pathogenic yeast; yet, despite phenotypic attributes and genomic evidence suggesting that it probably emerged from a natural reservoir, we know nothing about the environmental phase of its life cycle and the transmission pathways associated with it. The thermotolerant characteristics of C. auris have been hypothesised to be an environmental adaptation to increasing temperatures due to global warming (which may have facilitated its ability to tolerate the mammalian thermal barrier that is considered a protective strategy for humans against colonisation by environmental fungi with pathogenic potential). Thus, C. auris may be the first human pathogenic fungus to have emerged as a result of climate change. In addition, the release of antifungal chemicals, such as azoles, into the environment (from both pharmaceutical and agricultural sources) is likely to be responsible for the environmental enrichment of resistant strains of C. auris; however, the survival and dissemination of C. auris in the natural environment is poorly understood. In this paper, we critically review the possible pathways through which C. auris can be introduced into the environment and evaluate the environmental characteristics that can influence its persistence and transmission in natural environments. Identifying potential environmental niches and reservoirs of C. auris and understanding its emergence against a backdrop of climate change and environmental pollution will be crucial for the development of effective epidemiological and environmental management responses.

“…Metabolites associated with a healthy gut (arabinitol) were found in higher concentrations during the baseline. Arabinitol is a sugar alcohol produced specifically by Candida spp ., a yeast-like fungus that is a ubiquitous inhabitant in healthy bird crops and gastrointestinal tracts ( Talazadeh et al, 2022 ). Arabinitol is not absorbed efficiently by the intestine and is converted to pentose sugars by bacteria such as Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae ( Ramirez et al, 2020 ).…”

Metabolomics is the study of small, endogenous metabolites that participate in metabolic reactions, including responses to stressors. Anthropogenic and environmental changes that alter habitat and food supply can act as stressors in wild waterfowl. These alterations invoke a series of physiological processes to provide energy to restore homeostasis and increase survival. In this study, we utilized fecal metabolomics to measure metabolites and identify pathways related to a 6-day feed restriction in captive mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos, n = 9). Fecal samples were collected before (baseline) and during feed restriction (treatment). H1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was performed to identify metabolites. We found that fecal metabolite profiles could be used to distinguish between the feed-restricted and baseline samples. We identified metabolites related to pathways for energy production and metabolism endpoints, and metabolites indicative of gut microbiota changes. We also demonstrated that mallard ducks could utilize endogenous reserves in times of limited caloric intake. Fecal metabolomics shows promise as a non-invasive novel tool in identifying and characterizing physiological responses associated with stressors in a captive wild bird species.

Grzyby Candida spp. wyizolowane od zarówno ludzi, jak i zwierząt, mają zbliżony genotyp. Nie stwierdzono również swoistości tych grzybów w stosunku do kolonizowania różnych gatunków żywicieli, przez co zwierzęta mogą być ich rezerwuarem dla człowieka. Narażenie zawodowe dotyczy pracowników mających bezpośredni kontakt ze zwierzętami gospodarskimi, tj. rolników, hodowców, weterynarzy i pracowników technicznych gospodarstw. Infekcje grzybicze i choroby zwłaszcza skóry dłoni mogą być także związane z długotrwałą ekspozycją na wilgoć i opatrunki okluzyjne. Ryzyko zakażenia wzrasta również u pracowników sektora rybnego, florystów, fryzjerów, pracowników gastronomii, piekarzy i cukierników, a także zatrudnionych w ochronie zdrowia. Candida spp. jako organizmy saprofityczne pełnią istotną funkcję w zachowaniu homeostazy organizmu, a wraz z jej zachwianiem zwiększają ryzyko kandydozy. Intensyfikacja produkcji zwierzęcej, zmiany środowiskowe oraz nadmierne stosowanie antybiotyków w leczeniu infekcji u ludzi i zwierząt sprzyjają tego typu zakażeniom. Ważne jest zatem przyjęcie przez pracodawców i pracowników narażanych zawodowo odpowiednich strategii w celu ograniczenia czynników sprzyjających zakażeniom na tle Candida spp. w miejscu pracy.
