Alcaligenes piechaudii is isolated form clinical samples and also other environmeÂntal sources. It causes nosocomial infections in healthcare, and It is reported as an opportunistic pathogen. Alcaligenes piechaudii has detected in several human specimens which include ear discharge of diabetic patients. The outbreaks and mass infections by Alcaligenes piechaudii have not been documented. This pathogen is mentioned in PubMed citations as an emerging human pathogen.
The samples from chronic ear infections of HIV patients showed Alcaligenes piechaudii growth and formation of biofilms. Due to improper surveillance and the bacterium’s rare occurrence, it is not studied well, and it often causes localized infections rather than part of larger-scale epidemiological events.
A. piechaudii is rare gram-negative bacterium that is placed under Betaproteobacteria phylum. This bacterium’s cell requires oxygen to survive, it is an aerobic organism. A. piechaudii cells cannot retain the stain crystal violet in the staining process.
Alcaligenes piechaudii appears as rod shaped and elongated structures under microscope. This bacterium is having peritrichous flagella which allows it to move in liquid medias and semi solids. A. piechaudii does not show any pigmentation.
Alcaligenes piechaudii antigens are researched and documented. Â These bacteria also interact with gut-related lymphoid tissue. Alcaligenes piechaudii also affects immune reactions like production of IgA. Almost 71 various virulence genes of Alcaligenes species have been identified by the scientists, in which, 90% of the genomes of this species consist 48 genes that form a core virulome.
Alcaligenes species consists proteins like aquaporins and cold shock proteins. The water isolated strains like Alcaligenesaquatilis are usually detected with aquaporins. About seven new Alcaligenes species were distinguished by phylogenomic analysis, but still genetic similarities between Alcaligenes piechaudii and other species are not studied. The type strain of A. piechaudii is designated as Hugh 366-5 and stored in other collections as CIP 60.75, IAM 12591, and LMG 1873.
Alcaligenes piechaudii genome is comprised of unique traits which enhances it to trigger opportunistic infections. It has many virulent genes and had showed resistance to broad spectrum antibiotics. This bacterium can survive and develop in hospitals environments and affects vulnerable people.
Regarding transmission, Alcaligenes piechaudii has been reported in environment reservoirs and rarely human samples. It can travel through aerosols and transmit via environmental exposures like water and soil or in hospitals.
Alcaligenes piechaudii caused wide range of symptoms, case studies reported stubborn ear infections, it caused chronic ear discharge in a diabetic patient. Rarely, patients can be affected with bloodstream and urinary tract infections.
Human body defends Alcaligenes piechaudii through various defenses mechanism. In urinary tract, the pathogen is gradually restricted by mechanisms like mucous membrane barriers, urine flow, and antimicrobial peptide activities. This system is immensely effective and results as disease-free in healthy people.
In middle ear, the Eustachian tube, mucus clearance, lysozyme and lactoferrin (antibacterial proteins), and local immune response from immunoglobulins defends A. piechaudii from causing chronic middle ear infections. These immune cells form barriers and restricts long term infections.
The human defensive responses to A. piechaudii and stabilizes antimicrobial properties of the urethra and releases cathelicidins (antibacterial peptide). It has a protective bladder lining to resist penetration of the bacteria. The neutrophils are released to the infection site in severe infections.
Alcaligenes piechaudii has been reported in affecting middle ear by casing Chronic ear infections. It emerges in diabetics people as ear fluid discharge, pain, and inflammation.
In kids, the bacterium can cause ear infections with a symptoms like fluid discharge and ear canal swelling. A. piechaudii can also affect other body parts like nasopharynx areas and can bring throat infections. The symptoms are varied based on affected area.
Multi-Locus Sequence Analysis is a genotypic method that can be used in Alcaligenes piechaudii identification. Specific genes of bacterial genome like atpD, gyrB, recA, rpoB can be studied using MLSA. It can be utilized to differentiate Alcaligenes piechaudii from other related species of its genus by differentiating the house-keeping genes. This method also shows genetic variations and phylogenetic analysis.
Another method like 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing method can detect Alcaligenes piechaudii through genetic composition and phylogeny. It also provides the data regarding evolutionary relationships with other species.
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry is a Phenotypic method that analyzes A. piechaudii cell protein profiles. This methos is cost effective and it provides quick and accurate data of the species. By comparing mass spectra obtained from bacterial isolates, it supports identifications determined by genotypic MLSA data. It offers a comprehensive way to profile bacterial strains based on protein signatures.
Washing feet & hands after outdoor activities are crucial. Use hand sanitizers if accidently touched or interacted with contaminated things or got exposure to garden soil and water. This process prevents from direct transmission.
Clean and sanitize the surfaces and medical equipment properly. Disinfecting the healthcare floors, corridors and door knobs regularly is mandatory. It reduces contamination and infection transmission from one patient to other.
