Full textTriathletes, in particular Ironman triathletes, undergo intense training and compete in a very physically demanding race. Medical conditions in the pre-race period in these triathletes have not been well documented, but there is evidence form other endurance sports that symptoms of respiratory tract infection are particularly common. However, the prevalence, causes and consequences of these symptoms have not been studied in Ironman triathletes. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the incidence of respiratory tract symptoms (RTS) in triathletes preparing for an Ironman Triathlon, 2) to establish the factors associated with the development of these RTS, and 3) to determine the effects of the RTS on pre-race training and race performance. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 304 triathletes entering the 2006 Ironman triathlon in South Africa were recruited as subjects. All the subjects completed a validated questionnaire in the 1-3 days before the race (during registration). The questionnaire contained sections on demographics, training and previous competitions, common general medical conditions that they may have experienced, and a detailed section pertaining to RTS and allergies, including use of medication. Data on race performance was collected after completion of the race. Subjects were divided into the following groups, based on their self-reported history of RTS in the 6 weeks period prior to the race: no RTS, all RTS, only upper respiratory tract symptoms (URTS), lower respiratory tract and/or systemic symptoms (LRT +SS).

Full textUltra-endurance events, in particular Ironman Triathlons, are physically very demanding for the competitors. There is a large body of evidence showing the Upper Respitory Tract Symptoms (URTS) are very common in athletes in the 2-week period after such an event. However, there is no definitive explanation as t the exact cause of mechanism for the development of post-race URTS. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the incidence of post-race URTS in triathletes competing in an Ironman Triathlon; (2) to identify clinical and immunological factors that are associated with the development of post-race URTS in these triathletes. In this prospective cohort study, 99 triathletes entering the 2006 South African Ironman Triathlon were recruited as subjects. All the subjects completed a validated questionnaire in the one to three days before the race (during registration). The questionnaire contrained sections on demographics, training history and previous performances, common general medical conditions that they may have experienced, and a detailed section pertaining to respiratory tracgt symptoms (RTS) and allergies. At registration, each subject had a blood sample taken for analysis of cytokines representing mainly a TH1 response (IL-2, and IL-12) (cell mediated immunity) and a TH2 response (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) (humoral immunity), as well as a saliva sample (for salivary α-amylase, cortisol and IgA concentrations). Collection of blood and saliva samples was repeated immediately post-race. Data regarding race performance was collected within one week after completion of the race.

Full textDiseases of the upper respiratory tract encompass a plethora of complex multifaceted etiologies ranging from acute viral and bacterial infections to chronic diseases of the lung and nasal cavity. Due to this inherent complexity, typical treatments often fail in the face of recalcitrant infections and/or severe forms of chronic disease, including asthma. Thus, in order to provide improved standard of care, the mechanisms at play in hard-to-treat etiologies must be better understood. More recently, research has demonstrated a significant association between microbiota and many URT diseases. Previous work has also identified species capable of directly inhibiting standard treatments used to control asthma exacerbations. Despite an exhaustive collection of data characterizing microbiota composition in states of both health and disease, our knowledge of what microbiota profiles are observed in what specific disease etiologies is severely lacking. Yet, gaining these insights is crucial for the translation of such data into application. In this thesis I sought to: 1) identify gut microbiota profiles associated with severe and treatment resistant forms of childhood asthma, and 2) formulate a predictive model to facilitate the restructuring of microbiota for desired therapeutic outcomes. To identify gut microbiota and metabolites enriched in severe and treatment resistant childhood asthma, I looked to an ongoing longitudinal human study on vitamin D and childhood asthma. In this study, I find several fecal bacterial taxa and metabolites associated with more severe (i.e., higher wheeze proportion) and treatment resistant asthma in children at age 3 years. Specifically, several Veillonella species were enriched in children with higher wheeze proportion and in children that responded poorly to inhaled corticosteroid treatment (ICS) (i.e., non-responders). Haemophilus parainfluenzae, a species previously identified as enriched in the airway of adults with ICS-resistant asthma, was also uniquely enriched in children considered ICS non-responders in this study. Several metabolic pathways were also distinctly enriched: histidine metabolism was enriched in children with higher wheeze proportion while sphingolipid metabolism was enriched in ICS non-responders. Both metabolic pathways have been previously identified in association with asthma, further corroborating their role in this disease. Yet, this study is the first to identify these taxa and metabolites in children with preexisting and treatment resistant asthma. In the pursuit of improved treatment outcomes for recalcitrant URT diseases, recent efforts have turned towards microbiota-based therapies. While such treatments have proven successful in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections, these methods have not yet been extended to other conditions. Considering this, I ask whether a predictive model describing microbial interactions can facilitate the restructuring of microbiota for desired therapeutic outcomes. For this, I use a community of nasal microbiota to determine when a simply Lotka-Volterra-like (LV) model is a suitable representation for microbial interactions. I then utilize our LV-like model to examine whether environmental fluctuations have a major influence on community assembly and composition. For this, I looked specifically at pH fluctuations. In this study, I found that LV-like models are most suitable for describing community dynamics in complex low nutrient conditions. I also identified simple in vitro experiments that can reliably predict the suitability of a LV-like model for describing outcomes of a two-species community. When our LV-like model was applied to an in silico community of nasal species to determine the impact of environmental fluctuations, I find that nasal communities are generally robust against pH fluctuations and that, in this condition, facilitative interactions are a stabilizing force, and thus, selected for in in silico enrichment experiments. Overall, this thesis further corroborates the association of microbiota with URT diseases and treatment outcomes while also providing unique insight into their association with specific etiologies in childhood asthma. This thesis also provides a framework for developing models able to facilitate the development of future microbiota-based therapies while also determining how, and when, environmental factors impact community assembly and composition

Full textRespiratory affections, especially bacterial pneumonia, are a major cause of death in dolphins, both free-range individuals and those under human care. Animals affected by stress, immunocompromised or with underlying affections are more likely to be infected by opportunistic agents, usually present in the host in the commensal microbiota. Several colonizing microorganisms were recovered from the upper respiratory tract of nine healthy bottlenose dolphins, living under human care at the entertainment and educational oceanographic park Zoomarine - Mundo Aquático, S.A., Portugal. The isolated bacteria belonged to the species Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Morganella morganii, Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus simulans e Staphylococcus delphini group A. Disk diffusion method and genotypic characterization through PCR were the techniques performed in order to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance of these strains, regarding different families of antibiotics. The presence of resistance genes to β-lactams was investigated in the E. coli isolates through PCR, in order to identify β-lactamases’ producing strains (TEM, SHV, OXA-1, CTX-M, AmpC), as well as the resistance genes to aminoglycosides (aaC(3’)-IV and aaC(6’)-Ib). The mecA and mecC genes were investigated in the Staphylococcus spp. isolates. The results demonstrated that the majority of the isolates were multidrug-resistant, 76% of the isolates were considered clinically resistant to more than three antibiotic families (R>3), followed by 17% of resistant strains (1≤R≤3) and a small representation of 7% of fully susceptible bacteria (R=0). Resistance genes were detected in all the E. coli isolates, most frequently the blaTEM, followed by blaOXA-1, blaCTX-M-15 and aaC(6’)-Ib and less frequently the blaDHA-1.. The mecA gene was identified in one S. aureus and in the S. hominis isolates. The isolation of multidrug-resistant bacteria from the commensal microbiota is relevant in that these microorganisms are capable of inactivating a wide spectrum of antibiotics, limiting the therapeutic options. Associated with the colonization of the respiratory tract of dolphins by these organisms, the question arises of the potential risk of colonization and transmission between these animals and humans.
RESUMO - Resistência aos antibióticos da microbiota comensal do trato respiratório superior em golfinhos-roazes (Tursiops truncatus) mantidos sob cuidados humanos - As afeções respiratórias, especialmente a pneumonia bacteriana, são a principal causa de morte em golfinhos, tanto de vida livre como mantidos sob cuidados humanos. Os animais afetados por stresse, imunodeprimidos ou com outras condições subjacentes são mais suscetíveis a infeções por agentes oportunistas, frequentemente presentes no hospedeiro enquanto parte da microbiota comensal. Diversos microrganismos colonizadores do trato respiratório superior foram isolados a partir de um grupo de nove golfinhos saudáveis que vivem sob cuidados humanos no parque oceanográfico de entretenimento e educação Zoomarine - Mundo Aquático, S.A.. As estirpes identificadas pertencem às espécies bacterianas de Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Morganella morganii, Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus simulans e Staphylococcus delphini grupo A. O presente estudo visou a avaliação das resistências destas estirpes relativamente a diferentes classes de antibióticos, tendo como base o método de difusão de disco e caracterização genotípica pela técnica de PCR. Nos isolados de E. coli, os genes de resistência a β-lactâmicos foram pesquisados através de PCR, para identificação de estirpes produtoras de β-lactamases (TEM, SHV, OXA-1, CTX-M, AmpC) assim como os genes de resistência a aminoglicosídeos (aaC(3’)-IV e aaC(6’)-Ib). Quanto aos isolados de estafilococos, foram pesquisados os genes de resistência mecA e mecC. De acordo com o método de difusão de disco, a maioria dos isolados demonstrou ser multirresistente, com uma percentagem de 76% de isolados resistentes a mais do que três classes de antibióticos, seguidos de 17% de estirpes resistentes e por uma pequena representação de isolados suscetíveis a todas as classes testadas, de 7%. Foram detetados genes de resistência em todos os isolados de E. coli, tendo sido mais comummente identificado o gene blaTEM, seguido do blaOXA-1, blaCTX-M-15 e aaC(6’)-Ib, e com menor frequência o blaDHA-1. O gene mecA foi identificado numa estirpe de S. aureus e na única estirpe de S. hominis. O isolamento de estirpes multirresistentes na microbiota comensal do trato respiratório superior destes golfinhos-roazes é relevante na medida em que estes microrganismos são capazes de inativar um largo espectro de antibióticos, colocando limitações terapêuticas em caso de infeção. Associada à colonização do trato respiratório dos golfinhos, por estes organismos, surge a questão do potencial de transmissão e colonização entre estes animais e humanos.
