“…Cutaneous manifestations of infection by C. jeikeium were described by Dan et al (100). More recently, AIDS with (413) and without (381) neutropenia, neutropenia (373), neoplasms (25,137), meningitis with transverse myelitis (217), cerebral ventriculitis (235), ventricular cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections (173), prosthetic and native heart valve endocarditis (432), osteomyelitis after total hip replacement (455), infectious arthritis after arthroplasty (465), and lymphadenopathy in a patient with Whipple's disease (339) have been reported as being associated with C. jeikeium infections. C. jeikeium was recently implicated as the cause of papular eruption with features histologically mimicking botryomycosis (220).…”

Coryneform bacteria are aerobically growing, asporogenous, non-partially-acid-fast, gram-positive rods of irregular morphology. Within the last few years, there has been a massive increase in the number of publications related to all aspects of their clinical microbiology. Clinical microbiologists are often confronted with making identifications within this heterogeneous group as well as with considerations of the clinical significance of such isolates. This review provides comprehensive information on the identification of coryneform bacteria and outlines recent changes in taxonomy. The following genera are covered: Corynebacterium, Turicella, Arthrobacter, Brevibacterium, Dermabacter. Propionibacterium, Rothia, Exiguobacterium, Oerskovia, Cellulomonas, Sanguibacter, Microbacterium, Aureobacterium, "Corynebacterium aquaticum," Arcanobacterium, and Actinomyces. Case reports claiming disease associations of coryneform bacteria are critically reviewed. Minimal microbiological requirements for publications on disease associations of coryneform bacteria are proposed.

“…Colorectal cancer represents the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Intestinal infection has been proposed as a risk factor for colon cancer progression [1, 2], but the aspects of tumourigenesis that are potential targets of infection remain poorly understood; proposed mechanisms include chronic inflammation and production of carcinogenic metabolites by pathogens [3]. Furthermore, in combination with genetic aberrations [4, 5], innate immunity stimulation is likely an important contributor to colorectal cancer progression [6, 7].…”

Immune response to bacteria induces dissemination of Ras‐activated Drosophila hindgut cells

et al. 2012

Although pathogenic bacteria are suspected contributors to colorectal cancer progression, cancer-promoting bacteria and their mode of action remain largely unknown. Here we report that sustained infection with the human intestinal colonizer Pseudomonas aeruginosa synergizes with the Ras1 V12 oncogene to induce basal invasion and dissemination of hindgut cells to distant sites. Cross-talk between infection and dissemination requires sustained activation by the bacteria of the Imd-dTab2-dTak1 innate immune pathway, which converges with Ras1 V12 signalling on JNK pathway activation, culminating in extracellular matrix degradation. Hindgut, but not midgut, cells are amenable to this cooperative dissemination, which is progressive and genetically and pharmacologically inhibitable. Thus, Drosophila hindgut provides a valuable system for the study of intestinal malignancies.

BACKGROUND: Group D Streptococcus (GDS) infection was most often associated with infective endocarditis and bacteremia. GDS formerly named as Streptococcus bovis. In addition to an association of GDS with colonic disease, evidence of a correlation with liver disease has been presented. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of colonic and liver disease in patients with GDS and to identify factors that increase risk of colonic and liver diseases in patients with GDS infection. METHODS: A prospective study of all adult patients with GDS infection at Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center between March 2016 and December 2017 and retrospective chart review between January 2012 and February 2016 were performed. RESULTS: Sixty-two episodes of GDS infection in 45 patients were included in the study. Thirty-two patients (51.6%) were male and mean age was 64 ± 10.7 years. Two patients (3.2%) was diagnosed colorectal cancer and 49 patients (79%) had liver cirrhosis before GDS infection. Most of patients had bacteremia (93.5%). Subspecies were identified in 48.4% of patients, 25 patients (40.3%) were S. gallolyticus and 5 patients (8.1%) were S. pasteurianus. Forty-seven percent of patients had colonic evaluation and 19 patients (30.7%) had colonic disease. Prevalence of colonic disease and liver disease in GDS infection was 33.8% and 79%, respectively. Six patients with GDS infection had both colonic and liver disease. Overall median to mortality was 1.28 years (95%CI 0.68-1.86). Mortality rate was 48 person/100 person-year. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of colonic disease and liver disease was 33.8% and 79%, respectively. Patients with GDS infection should be evaluated for colonic and liver disease. Colonic and liver disease may simultaneous occurs in the patients with GDS infection.
