Molecular Detection of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Amblyomma parvum Ticks, Argentina
To the Editor: Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligate intracellular bacterium in the family Anaplasmataceae. It is considered an emerging pathogen in the United States because it is the causative agent of human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis (1), a fl ulike illness that can progress to severe multisystem disease and has a 2.7% case-fatality rate (2). In Central and South America, human cases of ehrl...
متن کاملImmunoregulatory Effects Triggered by Lactic Acid Bacteria Exopolysaccharides: New Insights into Molecular Interactions with Host Cells
Researchers have demonstrated that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with immunomodulatory capabilities (immunobiotics) exert their beneficial effects through several molecules, including cell wall, peptidoglycan, and exopolysaccharides (EPS), that are able to interact with specific host cell receptors. EPS from LAB show a wide heterogeneity in its composition, meaning that biological properties depen...

متن کاملEhrlichia chaffeensis, a new species associated with human ehrlichiosis.
The bacterial 16S rRNA genes from blood samples of two patients with human ehrlichiosis and from an isolate recovered from one of the patients were amplified by using the polymerase chain reaction. The amplimers were then cloned and sequenced. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was also determined for Ehrlichia canis (two strains), E. equi, E. phagocytophila (two strains), and E. sennetsu (two strains)...
متن کاملEhrlichia chaffeensis in Child, Venezuela
To the Editor: Human mono-cytic ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis (1). Serologic studies have indicated E. chaffeensis infection in Latin American countries: Venezuela (2), Mexico (3), Argentina (4), Chile (5), and Brazil (6). However, no molecular evidence for E. chaffeensis has been reported. In December 2001, a 9-year-old boy was admitted to a ho...
