Tatlockia maceachernii can trigger endocarditis, which was discovered by examining valve tissue of heart utilizing 16S rRNA sequencing. It is an uncommon microbe that causes deadly illnesses. Conversely, the factual quantity of cases is unspecified. T. maceachernii is difficult to culture and classify, exceptionally contrasted to other Legionella species.
The prevalence of Tatlockia is unclear, especially for non-pneumophila Legionella species. Soft tissue infections caused by Legionella species don’t occur often. There are only a few reported cases in people with weaker immune systems are largely affected. They generally acquire pneumonia, not soft tissue infections.
Tatlockia has been found in environmental sources like drinking water cisterns. It’s considered an opportunistic pathogen, and it affects groups with ineffective immune systems. There are no reports of considerable outbreaks directly triggered by T. maceachernii. Highest outbreaks are accompanying to Legionella pneumophila.
Tatlockia maceachernii is identified with rod shape morphology, which is customary for Legionella species.
It is gram-negative and does not absorb the violet stain used in gram staining. Tatlockia maceachernii also needs oxygen to mature, is aerobic, and cannot generate spores.
Tatlockia maceachernii has a big family of genes called var. This gene family synthesizes different proteins. The proteins help the bacteria stick to blood vessel walls. They also provide assistance the bacteria hide from the body’s defense approach.
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) carry the harmful proteins. OMVs help the bacteria make biofilms. They also help the bacteria get inside human cells. Scientists found and cloned a surface antigen protein gene called SurA1. It helps us learn about Tatlockia maceachernii‘s antigens. The type strain PX-1-G2-E2 is used for research and tests. It is kept in collections like DSM 16642, ATCC 35300, and NCTC 11982.
In sequence to initiate infections, Tatlockia maceachernii devotes a basic strategy of multiplying within human cells. Tatlockia is concealed from the innate response by residing in macrophages and epithelial cells. It grants the bacterium to trigger disorder in susceptible populations. T. maceachernii‘s ability to survive within host cells significantly contributes to the emergence of its infections.
The primary way Tatlockia maceachernii spreads is through inhaling water droplets containing the bacteria. These drops can be witnessed from water systems, freezing towers, or artificial water tanks where the bacterium flourishes. Tatlockia maceachernii can infect and multiply within lung phagocytes, allowing it to cause respiratory infections like pneumonia.
Tatlockia maceachernii commonly manifests as pneumonia in humans, causing cough and fever. In critical incidents, the bacteria can reach beyond the lungs, initiating extrapulmonary diseases like endocarditis. This soreness of the heart’s inner covering is life threatening problem.
Tatlockia maceachernii causes a complex immune response in the human body. Innate immunity is the initial defense. It involves skin and mucous tissues that inhibit bacteria from infecting. Macrophages penetrate and destroy entering microbes. Affected blood cells with T. maceachernii liberate IL-6 and TNF-α. These initiate swelling and create further immune cells to the illness site.
The adaptive immune system also fights T. maceachernii. Th1 cells recognize Tatlockia antigens. They generate a cytokine called interferon or IFN-Îł that attacks intracellular defects from Tatlockia via excluding infected cells.
Chemokines and cytokines from infected macrophages coordinate the immune response against T. maceachernii. They attract immune cells to the infection. These molecules work together to defend the body. They make the immune response more effective.
Tatlockia maceachernii primarily causes breathing problems or pneumonia. Symptoms like coughing and high fever are observed. This bacterium cause stomach issues like diarrhea and mental disorders.
Non-pneumonic legionellosis, also known as Pontiac fever, is another way T. maceachernii can affect people. It arises with signs like flu, chills, and body aches. These indications are mostly milder than pneumonia but still sort people feel unwell.
In rare cases, Tatlockia maceachernii can infect other parts of the body besides the lungs. It causes heart valves inflammation and also complications like stroke may occur due to this heart infection.
To diagnose, standard lab media is used, T. maceachernii affected clinical samples is collected aseptically. Therefore, using specialized techniques, like buffered charcoal yeast extract agar, is crucial for successful isolation. These enable the bacterium to grow, granting further analysis and detection.
16S rRNA sequencing is a genetic methodology for precisely detecting T. maceachernii. By amplifying 16S rRNA gene commencing bacterial isolates, this technique delivers a specific species identification. It is efficient in diagnosing T. maceachernii illness in endocarditis patients.
Polymerase chain reaction targeting specific genes can aid in detecting this bacterium. Serological tests are not frequently used for Tatlockia maceachernii. However, assessing antibody levels against Tatlockia species can provide indirect evidence of exposure or infection.
Enzyme immunochemical assay can primarily calculate for antibody concentrations. The confirmation can be ensured using the L. pneumophila serogroup 1 immunofluorescence assay.
In cases of tissue infections such as endocarditis, histopathological investigation of affected heart valves, can present significant understandings. Characteristic features observed, like septate hyphae on Calcofluor white stain, may indicate fungal endocarditis. Further investigation is obligatory for accurate diagnosis.
Water temperatures commencing 20°C to 50°C range will reduce Legionella Heating water above 60°C can eliminate the bacteria. Using biocides or disinfectants in water treatment stops the bacterial spread and keeps water systems safe.
During traveling at endemic locations be protected to reduce exposure chances of Tatlockia maceachernii, generally in hotels, cruise ships, and public water systems.
