Цель - выявление реактивных изменений гистологических элементов печени и почек у мышей в экспериментальных моделях сепсиса, вызванного штаммами 1840 и 1623 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA1840, 1623). Материал и методы. Сепсис моделировали на двух группах половозрелых самцов мышей линии C57Bl/6 интраперитонеальным введением Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Животным 1-й группы (8 особей) вводили штамм 1840, животным 2-й группы (12 особей) - штамм 1623. Контрольная группа состояла из 3 животных. Перед началом опыта штаммы тестировали на присутствие генов экзотоксинов U, S, T, Y (ExoU, ExoS, ExoT, ExoY) с помощью полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР). Для визуализации продуктов ПЦР применяли электрофорез в горизонтальном 1,5 % агарозном геле. Животных вскрывали на терминальной стадии сепсиса. Серийные парафиновые срезы печени и почек толщиной 4 мкм окрашивали гематоксилином - эозином, анализировали особенности гистоструктуры органов и фотографировали в световом микроскопе «AxioPlus» (фирма Zeiss, Германия). Результаты. Штамм PsA 1840, имеющий ген exoU, вызывал выраженные деструктивные изменения пластинок гепатоцитов и замещение участков паренхимы печени гомогенным эозинофильным веществом. Присутствовали признаки стаза крови в синусоидных капиллярах, расширение и тромбоз центральных вен, немногочисленные скопления лейкоцитов. Морфологические изменения нефронов состояли в локальных деструктивных изменениях проксимальных канальцев на периферии коркового вещества почек. При введении PsA1623, имеющего ген exoS, возникали массовая гибель почечных телец и дегенерация канальцев нефронов. В печени дольковая гистоархитектура в основном сохранялась. Выводы. Предполагается связь выявленных различий в реактивных изменениях гистологических элементов печени и почек в подопытных группах с особенностями геномов штаммов PsA, использованных для моделирования сепсиса. Objective - to identify reactive changes of liver and kidney histological elements in experimental models of sepsis in mice caused by 1840 and 1623 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains (PsA1840, 1623). Material and methods. Sepsis was modeled in two groups of mature male C57Bl/6 mice by intraperitoneal administration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Strain 1840 was administered to animals of the first group (n=8), animals of the second group (n=12) were administered strain 1623; the control group consisted of 3 animals. Before the experiment, the strains were tested for the presence of genes of exotoxins U, S, T, Y (ExoU, ExoS, ExoT, ExoY) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Electrophoresis in horizontal 1,5 % agarose gel was used to visualize PCR products. The animals were euthanized at the terminal stage of sepsis. The extracted liver and kidneys were fixed according to the generally accepted histological method, and embedded into paraffin blocks. Serial 4 μm thick sections of organs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, analyzed and photographed using «AxioPlus» light microscope (Zeiss, Germany). Results. Strain PsA 1840, carrying the gene of exotoxin U (ExoU), caused severe destructive changes of hepatocytes plates and the replacement of the liver parenchyma with homogeneous eosinophilic substance. There were signs of blood stasis in sinusoidal capillaries, expansion and thrombosis of central veins, a few accumulations of leukocytes. Morphological changes of nephrons consisted of local destructive changes in the proximal tubules at the periphery of kidney cortical substance. After the introduction of PsA1623, carrying the gene of exotoxin S (ExoS), the massive death of renal corpuscles and degeneration of nephron tubules were registered. However, the lobular histoarchitecture in the liver remained mostly unaltered. Conclusions. It is supposed that there is a possible connection of the observed differences in reactive changes of liver and kidney histological elements in two experimental groups with genome features of PsA strains used for the sepsis modeling.

Oral and sputum isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis were investigated. Of the 17 patients studied, 12 patients (71%) yielded both mucoid and nonmucoid variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from sputum and (or) various oral ecological sites, such as buccal mucosa, tongue dorsum, dental plaques, and saliva. A total of 51 strains of mucoid and nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from these patients and were phenotypically characterized by both pyocine typing and serotyping. Five patients (42%) were colonized or infected by a single strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, whereas 7 patients (58%) were cocolonized or coinfected by two or more phenotypically different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To understand the mechanisms involved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, it may be necessary to identify multiple isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa not only from the sputum but also from the various oral ecological sites and to further explore the role of the oral cavity in this colonization.

ABSTRACT We investigated the effect of temperature on the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and revealed that the biofilm formation increased rapidly at temperatures lower than 25°C. P. aeruginosa formed the most robust biofilm of a conspicuous mushroom-like structure at 20°C. However, when the temperature increased to 25°C, the biofilm formation rapidly decreased. Above 25°C, as the temperature rose, the biofilm formation increased again little by little despite its less-structured form, indicating that 25°C is the low point of biofilm formation. The intracellular 3′,5′-cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) levels also decreased rapidly as the temperature rose from 20 to 25°C. The expression levels of pelA, algD, and pslA encoding Pel, alginate, and Psl, respectively, were also dramatically affected by temperature, with pelA being regulated in a pattern similar to that of the intracellular c-di-GMP levels, and the pattern seen for algD regulation was the most similar to the actual biofilm formation pattern. Total exopolysaccharide production was thermoregulated and followed the regulation pattern of c-di-GMP. Interestingly, the thermoregulation patterns in biofilm formation were different depending on the strain of P. aeruginosa. Unlike PAO1, another strain, PA14, showed a gradual decrease in biofilm formation and c-di-GMP in the range of 20 to 37°C, and P. aeruginosa clinical isolates also showed slightly different patterns in biofilm formation in conjunction with temperature change, suggesting that different strains may sense different temperature ranges for biofilm formation. However, it is obvious that P. aeruginosa forms more biofilms at lower temperatures and that temperature is an important factor in determining the biofilm formation. IMPORTANCE Biofilm formation is an important protection mechanism used by most microorganisms and provides cells with many advantages, like high infectivity, antibiotic resistance, and strong survivability. Since most persistent bacterial infections are believed to be associated with biofilms, biofilm control is an important issue in medicine, environmental engineering, and industry. Biofilm formation is influenced by various environmental factors. Temperature is the most direct environmental cue encountered by microorganisms. Here, we investigated the effect of temperature on the biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, a notorious pathogen, and found that temperature is an important factor determining the amount and structure of biofilms. Low temperatures greatly increase biofilm formation and give biofilms a highly conspicuous structure. Although thermoregulation of biofilm formation is mainly mediated by c-di-GMP, some c-di-GMP-independent regulations were also observed. This study shows how biofilms are formed at various temperatures and provides new insights to control biofilms using temperature.
