Cellular composition of the organism

Microbiota
Estimations of the number of microbial cells that live in
and on the human body, human cells are outnumbered
by a factor of 10.
Nomenclature:
Microbiota are the microbes that live in a specific
location, e.g. the human body, the gut, soil, etc.
Metagenomics is the study of the collection of
genomes derived from a specific sample or community.
Microbes are microscopic organisms that can be
either single or multicellular.

Microorganisms cluster by body site
Cataloguing efforts by the NIH
Human microbiome project
suggest:
• ~10,000 organisms live with us
• ~ 8 ×106 genes in this “second
genome”
Identifying microbiota in healthy
individuals revealed:
• Different body sites have
unique communities

Microbial Identification 16
Sample to Insight
Determine sensitivity of a microbial assay
• LOD, limit of detection, is the lowest amount of
analyte (DNA molecule) in a sample that is
able to be distinguished from a sample that
contains no analyte
• Often reported as colony forming units
• LLOQ, lower limit of quantitation, is the lowest
amount of analyte that can be distinguished
from a sample with another amount of analyte
• Often reported as gene copies, since colonies
may contain multiple copies of a gene
• LLOQ is especially useful for quantitation
because it states the limit at which two
samples can be quantified as opposed to
simple qualification
Microbial Identification 17
Sample to Insight
Specificity of microbial DNA qPCR assays
• To determine the specificity, each assay was tested against 119 genomic DNA from different bacteria and
fungi
• To facilitate testing, genomic DNA from different microbial species were pooled (pools of 10 different
genomic DNA or one single pool of 119 genomic DNA ) and each assay was tested against the different
pools
• Each pool did not contain DNA from the same genus to facilitate the identification of any cross-reacting
species
• Each pool contained equivalent to 2000 genome copies for each microbial species. In addition, each
assay was tested against human, mouse and rat genomic DNA
• Specificity also determined in silico

Antibiotic resistance genes in our food supply?
Microbial Identification 24
• One potential source of acquiring antibiotic
resistance genes is through the food-supply
• Both livestock and feed may acquire
antibiotic resistant bacteria through different
mechanisms
• Food can be exposed to antibiotic resistant
bacteria through fertilizer originating from
waste-water treatment plants. This, in
addition to increasing administration of
antibiotics to livestock can lead to food as
being a potential source of antibiotic
resistant genes
• This may then lead to horizontal gene
transfer to pathogenic enteropathogens
leading to drug resistance in humans,
therefore highlighting the importance of
surveillance and prevention of antibiotic
resistant genes in food
Sample to Insight
Antibiotic resistance gene reservoirs in the body
Screening of the gut for presence of antibiotic resistance genes
ErmB, mefA, and tetA were found in all or most of the stool samples tested,
suggesting a common source. These antibiotic resistance genes have been
reported to be isolated from bacterial strains originating from food, suggesting a
possible source of origin.

    Sample to Insight Humansor superorganisms? Cellular composition of the organism Human Microbiota Estimations of the number of microbial cells that live in and on the human body, human cells are outnumbered by a factor of 10. Nomenclature: Microbiota are the microbes that live in a specific location, e.g. the human body, the gut, soil, etc. Metagenomics is the study of the collection of genomes derived from a specific sample or community. Microbes are microscopic organisms that can be either single or multicellular. Microbial Identification 5

    Sample to Insight Determinesensitivity of a microbial assay • LOD, limit of detection, is the lowest amount of analyte (DNA molecule) in a sample that is able to be distinguished from a sample that contains no analyte • Often reported as colony forming units • LLOQ, lower limit of quantitation, is the lowest amount of analyte that can be distinguished from a sample with another amount of analyte • Often reported as gene copies, since colonies may contain multiple copies of a gene • LLOQ is especially useful for quantitation because it states the limit at which two samples can be quantified as opposed to simple qualification Microbial Identification 17
  • 18.
    Sample to Insight Specificityof microbial DNA qPCR assays • To determine the specificity, each assay was tested against 119 genomic DNA from different bacteria and fungi • To facilitate testing, genomic DNA from different microbial species were pooled (pools of 10 different genomic DNA or one single pool of 119 genomic DNA ) and each assay was tested against the different pools • Each pool did not contain DNA from the same genus to facilitate the identification of any cross-reacting species • Each pool contained equivalent to 2000 genome copies for each microbial species. In addition, each assay was tested against human, mouse and rat genomic DNA • Specificity also determined in silico 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 CT Pool Staph/Strep complete Campylobacter spp. 1 Assay Microbial Identification 18

    Sample to Insight Antibioticresistance genes in our food supply? Microbial Identification 24 • One potential source of acquiring antibiotic resistance genes is through the food-supply • Both livestock and feed may acquire antibiotic resistant bacteria through different mechanisms • Food can be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria through fertilizer originating from waste-water treatment plants. This, in addition to increasing administration of antibiotics to livestock can lead to food as being a potential source of antibiotic resistant genes • This may then lead to horizontal gene transfer to pathogenic enteropathogens leading to drug resistance in humans, therefore highlighting the importance of surveillance and prevention of antibiotic resistant genes in food

    Sample to Insight Antibioticresistance gene reservoirs in the body Screening of the gut for presence of antibiotic resistance genes ErmB, mefA, and tetA were found in all or most of the stool samples tested, suggesting a common source.
