▼ Chlamydia is the most common cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infection worldwide and it leads to severe complications for women who become infected. Following initial infection, the bacterial pathogen ascends from the lower genital tract to the upper genital tract leading to pelvic inflammation and scarring of inflamed tissue. The scarring can lead to ductal obstruction, causing retention of fluid in the upper genital tract and ovaries, termed hydrosalpinx. This inflammation due to Chlamydia infection can lead to infertility. Despite the commonality of the disease and its severe consequences, the molecular pathogenesis and mechanism of pelvic inflammation following Chlamydia infection has yet to be elucidated. We investigated the molecular pathogenesis and its relation to host autophagy here. The ATG5 gene is required for autophagy. Our lab has previously shown via mouse model that deletion of the ATG5 gene in myeloid cells results in a significant increase in upper genital tract inflammation following Chlamydia infection. To further investigate the role of autophagy in Chlamydia pathogenesis, mice with deleted ATG5 gene in epithelial cells were intravaginally infected with Chlamydia. The infection was monitored through weekly vaginal swabbing and calculation of Chlamydia bacterial titers from each swab. After Chlamydia infection cleared, the animals were sacrificed, upper genital tract pathology was observed and cytokine analysis was conducted on the vaginal swabs that were taken throughout the infection. The p62 autophagy protein acts as a scaffold to bring bacterial pathogen to autophagy machinery. In the current study, p62-deficient mice were obtained and infected with Chlamydia. Vaginal swabbing throughout Chlamydia infection allowed us to estimate bacterial titers and assay the host cytokine response to the infection, and finally the upper genital tracts of the animals were removed for observation. We found no significant difference in the pathology, bacterial clearance, or cytokine analysis between epithelial Atg5-deficient animals and wild type animals. This suggests that the Chlamydia bacteria may be employing mechanisms to evade or inhibit host autophagy in epithelial cells to promote its own survival. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the pathology, bacterial clearance, or cytokine analysis between the p62-deficient animals and wild type animals.

▼ Bacteria of the Chlamydiales order are known abortive agents, therefore cases of bovine abortion from three representative regions of Switzerland were investigated in this study. Particularly Chlamydiaceae as well as the Chlamydia-like organisms Waddlia and Parachlamydia were of interest, especially because of their possible zoonotic potential. Placenta samples (n=343) were tested for these bacteria by different PCR-methods, immunohistochemistry and serology for Chlamydia (C.) abortus. In 67.3% of the 343 cases a necrotizing and/or purulent placentitis was found histologically. By real-time PCR, 0.9% (3/343) of the cases were positive for Waddlia, 13.4% (46/343) positive for Parachlamydia and 14.6% (50/343) positive or questionable positive for Chlamydiaceae. Of these samples, confirmation by immunohistochemistry was possible in 2/3 cases for Waddlia, 25/46 for Parachlamydia and 4/50 for Chlamydiaceae. Of the 50 cases positive or questionable positive for Chlamydiaceae, species-identification by ArrayTube Microarray or 16S rRNA PCR resulted in 41 cases positive for C. abortus whereas the presence of Chlamydia (C.) suis was confirmed in four and Chlamydia (C.) pecorum in one case. This study brought evidence for the importance of different members of Chlamydiales in different regions of Switzerland although Waddlia is not occuring in a high prevalence. On the other hand mixed infections with different Chlamydiales as well as with other abortigenic agents could be found. Bakterien der Ordnung Chlamydiales sind bekannte Aborterreger. Aus diesem Grund wurden in dieser Studie Abortfälle beim Rind aus drei repräsentativen Regionen der Schweiz untersucht, wobei sowohl Chlamydiaceae als auch Chlamydia-like Organismen wie Waddlia und Parachlamydia auch auf Grund eines möglichen zoonotischen Potentials von Interesse waren. Plazentaproben (n=343) wurden mittels verschiedenen PCR-Methoden, Immunhistochemie und Serologie auf Chlamydia (C.) abortus untersucht. In 67.3% der 343 Fälle konnte histologisch eine nekrotisierende und/oder eitrige Plazentitis nachgewiesen werden. Mittels real-time PCR wurden 0.9% (3/343) aller Fälle als positiv für Waddlia, 13.4% (46/343) als positiv für Parachlamydia und 14.6% (50/343) als positiv oder fraglich positiv für Chlamydiaceae befunden. Eine Bestätigung durch Immunhistochemie für Waddlia war möglich in 2/3 Fällen, für Parachlamydia in 25/46 Fällen und für Chlamydiaceae in 4/50 Fällen. Von den 50 Fällen positiv oder fraglich positiv für Chlamydiaceae konnte mittels ArrayTube Microarray oder 16S rRNA PCR eine Spezies-Identifikation durchgeführt werden. So wurde in 41 Fällen C. abortus, in vier Fällen Chlamydia (C.) suis und in einem Fall Chlamydia (C.) pecorum nachgewiesen. Diese Studie belegt einerseits die Bedeutung verschiedener Chlamydien in verschiedenen Regionen der Schweiz. Andererseits konnten Mischinfektionen zwischen verschiedenen Chlamydiales-Spezies als auch mit anderen Aborterregern gefunden werden

▼ This study was conducted at Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon National Parks in the interface areas of wildlife and livestock of the Kafue Flats of Zambia to establish the prevalence and relatedness of Escherichia colt and Salmonella serogroups isolated from Kafue Lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) and pastoral cattle. A total of 593 faecal samples were processed of which 232 (39.1%) were from Kafue lechwe while 361 (60.8%) were from pastoral cattle. Seventy-seven (33.2%) of 232 samples were compound faecal contents from rectum (R), ceacum (C), small intestine (SI) and the ileo-ceacal junction(ICJ) of each carcass, while 155 (66.8%) were faecal droppings conveniently picked from the grazing pastures. Altogether, there were 1283 presumptive E. coll isolates from Kafue lechwe and pastoral cattle out of which 248 (19.3%) had growth characteristics as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 (STEC) on sorbitol MacConkey agar and CHROMagar O157. Of 248 suspected STEC isolates, 104 (41.9%) were from Kafue lechwe while 144 (58.1%) were from pastoral cattle. Only 18 out of 104 (17.3%) E. coli isolates from Kafue lechwe were serogrouped into 8 serogroups while E. coli isolates from pastoral cattle were typed into 16 serogroups. In case of Salmonella, 59 isolates from Kafue lechwe were identified on biochemical and physiological characterization, of which 39 were from Lochinvar NP, while 20 were from Blue-lagoon NP. Nineteen (32.2%) were confirmed on serological typing with Salmonella somatic polyvalent antisera, while 40 (67.8%) were non-typeable. Furthermore, of the 19 Salmonella isolates, 5 (26.3%) were identified to belong to serogroup 8 serovars while the rest did not react to the available Salmonella antisera groups. Thirty suspected Salmonella isolates were isolated and biochemically identified from faecal samples of the pastoral cattle, out of which 13 (43.3%) tested positive on agglutination test with Salmonella polyvalent antisera while the rest of the isolates were non-typeable. Only one (3.3%) isolates was found to belong to Salmonella group 8. Most E. coli isolates from Kafue lechwe were resistant to metronidazole (98.8%) a drug for protozoan and anaerobic infections, followed by penicillin G (97.6%) and amoxicillin (29%) drugs targeting gram positive bacteria. Resistance to co-trimoxazole was also observed (15.1%). All the E. coli isolates from pastoral cattle were resistant to metronidazole, while resistance to other antimicrobials tested (co-trimoxazole, oxacillin, tetracycline, amoxicillin, cephalexin and penicillin G) showed values below 7.1%. The antibiotics to which Salmonella isolates from Kafue lechwe were most resistant to were metronidazole (100%), followed by penicillin G (89.2 %), co-trimoxazole (67.7%), cephalexin (59.5%) and gentamycin (18.9%). Salmonella isolates from pastoral cattle were most resistant to metronidazole (90.9%), followed by penicillin G (72.7 %), and gentamycin (54.5%). None of the isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, co-trimoxazole, oxacillin and tetracycline. Similarly, the study showed that…

▼ Expedited partner therapy (EPT) is a strategy for treating the partners of chlamydia index cases by which a health care provider gives an index patient drugs or a prescription for treatment of chlamydia to deliver to their sex partner without an intervening medical evaluation of the partner. Despite routine offer of EPT in New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) sexual health clinics, the majority of patients who are eligible for EPT do not receive it, largely because EPT eligibility requires lab confirmation of chlamydial infection, which is lacking in situations where patients are treated for chlamydia on the same day they are tested for chlamydia (i.e., presumptive treatment). These patients become eligible for EPT after they leave the clinic and often do not return for EPT. This dissertation includes three papers: one systematic review and two original analyses. The objective of the systematic review was to synthesize existing estimates of EPT effectiveness to better understand the impact of biases on these estimates; a meta-analysis provided an aggregate estimate of the effectiveness of EPT for preventing index patient reinfection with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea. We found 6 studies that included some measure of EPT effectiveness. Meta-analysis revealed that EPT significantly reduced the risk of reinfection from chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, but it also revealed a substantial amount of heterogeneity. Systematic review revealed that inclusion of patients whose sex partners were at the clinic or already treated for infection was a common source of bias among existing estimates of EPT effectiveness. The two original analyses used data from NYC DOHMH sexual health clinics where EPT is routinely offered as patient delivered partner therapy (PDPT), a form of EPT where medication is given directly to the index patient. The objective of the first analysis was to identify predictors of presumptive treatment and predictors of being offered PDPT among patients eligible for PDPT in the NYC clinics. This analysis demonstrated that patient diagnosis as a contact to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that would warrant treatment with azithromycin or doxycycline (termed STI contacts) was the best predictor of presumptive treatment in NYC DOHMH sexual health clinics. Patients who were not contacts to such STIs or who were STI contacts with more than one sex partner were more likely to be offered PDPT compared to patients who were STI contacts and reported ≤ 1 sex partner. Males not diagnosed as STI contacts were identified as a target population for increasing rates of PDPT offer. The objective of the last analysis was to provide an estimate of PDPT effectiveness for preventing index patient reinfection with chlamydia. This analysis was novel compared to existing estimates of EPT effectiveness in that we excluded patients whose sex partners were at the clinics at the time of chlamydia testing, treatment, or PDPT offer. We found that PDPT significantly reduced the risk of repeat chlamydial infection…

▼ textabstractThis thesis takes a closer look at three aspects of human chlamydial infections. With regard to diagnosis the influence of logistics on the sensitivity of the culture method is discussed, along with optimalization of the culture itself and an evaluation of new diagnostic methods. Next, epidemiological data are discussed with regard to the prevalence and role of Chlamydia, on the one hand in asymptomatic persons from low-risk groups and on the other hand in women with postinflammatory tubal infertility. Finally the therapeutic problems are considered with reference to measurements of the in-vitro sensitivity of various chlamydial strains to tetracycline and some recently developed chemotherapeutic agents. The significance of Chlamydia for some of the sexually transmitted nongonococcal oculogeni tal infections was not generally recognised until relatively recently. One of the reasons for this was undou~tedly the lack of a culture method to isolate the organism for study of its biological characteristics. Even after the introduction of a technique to culture Chlamydia on cell lines, large scale epidemiological research was impeded by lack of adequately equipped laboratories where the complicated method might be employed. The manner of collecting patient material for culture, transport from outpatient clinic to laboratory, and the culture method employed are critical parameters which determine the ultimate result. A disadvantage of the culture method is the relatively long time required (6 days). Rapid diagnosis and if necessary treatment, especially of asymptomatic persons, is of great epidemiological importance. Chlamydial antigen-detecting methods have recently been developed which can present results within a few hours. They are based on the immunofluorescence (IF) technique and on the enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Both techniques employ monoclonal antibodies against genus-specific epitopes of the Major Outer Membrane Protein (IF technique) or of the lipopolysaccharide (EIA). The chlamydiae in patient material need no longer be alive for analysis, and transport to the laboratory therefore no longer influences the sensitivity of detection.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is one of the most important food borne pathogens of humans globally, having caused numerous outbreaks in North America and worldwide. Severe clinical disease occurs primarily in children and immunocompromised adults and signs range from mild diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, which can result in kidney failure and mortality. Cattle are considered the main reservoir of STEC and food or water contaminated with cattle feces is considered to be a major source of human exposure. Common foods implicated in STEC outbreaks include ground beef, unpasteurized milk, leafy vegetables and apple cider. Other domesticated animals and wildlife can also shed STEC, but their importance as a source of human exposure is considered less significant. Human infections have also been reported following direct and indirect contact with animals at zoos, livestock exhibitions and petting farms. Identifying factors that influence STEC shedding and dynamics in cattle is important for the design and implementation of strategies to prevent STEC transmission. The studies describe in this dissertation are the results obtained from an epidemiological study performed in 11 herds in Mid-Michigan during 2011 and 2012. The primary aims of this project were to identify risk factors for STEC shedding and describe STEC dynamics in cattle. Of specific interest was the potential effect on STEC shedding of pre-existing chronic disease, specifically infection with Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of Johnes disease. We identified several variables including days in milk and number of lactations, to be important individual factors that influence the risk of STEC shedding in dairy cattle. Intervention strategies could be targeted towards these high risk cattle groups. We also confirmed the importance of seasonality, more specifically warm temperatures, on STEC shedding by cattle. No association was observed between STEC shedding and infection with BLV and MAP. We found a significant association between the independent variable herd and rate of new infections with STEC; also we found a significant association between herd and persistent STEC negative status, both in dairy herds. However, we were not able to identify specific management factors that influence the risk of STEC shedding over time. These finding highlight the complex and multifactorial nature of STEC epidemiology in cattle. Based on the results obtained in this dissertation, we conclude that first lactation cows and cows in their first 30 days of lactation have the highest risk of STEC shedding. As a consequence, these specific groups of cattle can be targeted for the design and implementation of intervention strategies at pre-harvest with the aim of reducing STEC infection in humans.

▼ Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC O157) and related non-O157 STEC strains are enteric pathogens of significant public health concern worldwide, including New Zealand, causing clinical diseases ranging from diarrhoea and bloody diarrhoea to the life-threatening haemolytic uraemic syndrome. Cattle are considered the principal hosts and have been shown to be a source of STEC infection for both foodborne and environmental outbreaks of human diarrhoeal disease overseas. A series of observational studies were conducted to gain knowledge on the epidemiology of STEC O157 and STEC O26 in New Zealand slaughter cattle and assess the relative importance of cattle as a source of domestically-acquired STEC infections in humans. A repeated cross-sectional study conducted on four selected New Zealand beef slaughter plants provided detailed data on the prevalence and concentration of faecal shedding of STEC O157 and STEC O26 in 695 very young calves (4–7 days-old) and 895 adult cattle post-slaughter, identifying calves as more prevalent carriers of STEC. Findings of a subsequent cohort study, the first of its kind, provided evidence that for the 60 calves examined, transportation and lairage was not associated with increase of faecal shedding of E. coli O157 and O26 (STEC and non-STEC) but increase of cross-contamination of hides and carcasses post-slaughter. In a national prospective case-control study, 113 STEC cases and 506 random controls were interviewed for risk factor evaluation. The study findings implicate that environmental and animal contact, but not food, as significant exposure pathways for sporadic STEC infections in humans in New Zealand, and suggest ruminants as the most important source of infection. The molecular analysis of bovine and human STEC O157 isolates provided evidence for the historical introduction of a subset of the globally-circulating STEC O157 strains into New Zealand and ongoing localised transmission of STEC between cattle and humans. These findings will contribute to the development of a risk management strategy for STEC, similar to those already implemented for Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Listeria, which pose a high risk to public health and New Zealand’s access to international markets. Furthermore, risk factors identified in the case-control study will contribute to the design of public health interventions to reduce the incidence of STEC infections in New Zealand.

▼ "Epizootic Epitheliotropic Disease Virus (EEDV; Salmonid Herpesvirus-3) is an Alloherpesvirus (Order Herpesvirales) capable of causing severe morbidity and mortality in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). After several decades of absence, EEDV re-emerged in the Great Lakes basin and was the causative agent of substantial mortality events in fingerling and two year old lake trout in 2012 and 2017 respectively. This resurgence highlighted the challenges associated with managing an infectious disease when many questions remain regarding its biological and pathological properties. As a result, several studies were designed in order to advance our knowledge of viral targets, disease progression, and the availability of research models and diagnostic assays. As EEDV cannot be propagated in vitro, I first aimed to determine the in vivo viral exposure dose required to cause clinical disease consistent with that seen in natural outbreaks of EEDV. Results revealed that 103 viral copies per mL of immersion bath water is not a sufficient dose to produce clinical disease, while 106 viral copies per mL of water can produce up to 100% mortality. Utilizing this predetermined dose range, I then assessed the temporal course of an EEDV infection by determining the sequential distribution of virus and identification of specific viral target tissues and cells using quantitative PCR and in situ hybridization assays. Following exposure of naïve juvenile lake trout to EEDV, the virus first targeted the epidermis of the skin and fins followed by the epithelial lining of primary and secondary gill lamellae and eventually infection of endothelial cells and monocytes resulting in viremia and disseminated infection of multiple visceral organs. However, viral titers remained significantly higher among external tissues compared to visceral organs throughout the study. Subsequently, in order to elucidate a more comprehensive understanding of the pathologic changes associated with EEDV infection, I next examined sequential gross and pathological alterations in lake trout tissues. After an extended incubation period, severe pathology was first observed grossly and microscopically in the cutaneous epithelium followed by the hematopoietic organs and vessels during the later viremic stage of disease. Following these advancements in our understanding of EEDV-lake trout interactions and associated pathology, my focus shifted to expanding future experimental and diagnostic capabilities. First, I produced two novel cell lines of lake trout origin. With the limited number of commercially available aquatic cell lines, and none originating from lake trout, diagnosis of, and research into lake trout specific immunology or disease pathology, has been hampered. The successful production of primary cultures from adult liver, yearling fin, yearling gonad and fry body cells of lake trout origin, contributes to what was previously a void in salmonid tissue culture options. Without an established in vitro model of EEDV replication to date, there was a need for a… Advisors/Committee Members: Faisal, Mohamed, Fitzgerald, Scott, Li, Jun, Parent, Kristin.

▼ Background: Unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections among young people are priority public health issues in the UK. Social marketing is the preferred Government approach to intervention despite limited evidence on efficacy. There is need to understand its applicability and effectiveness in addressing the specified sexual health issues. Methods: Three studies were carried out, of which the first was a systematic review of 12 studies assessing the effectiveness of social marketing in reducing unintended teenage pregnancies. The second and third were consumer research applications examining factors associated with Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) use and Chlamydia screening respectively. The second study involved analysing five ONS Contraception survey datasets while the third involved analysing Havering PCT Chlamydia screening records and qualitative data from 28 participants. Data were analysed using Stata.10 and Framework statistical packages and maps drawn using MapInfo.10.5. Results: The systematic review showed that nine studies achieved significant effects on at least one of the specified outcomes (reduced pregnancy rates and related behaviour changes). The second study showed that the NICE guidelines published in 2005 successfully addressed the disparity in LARC uptake previously experienced by women aged below 20. The third study identified females and non-white participants as more likely to take Chlamydia tests. Motivating factors for testing included convenient access to kits and fear of infertility, while barriers included ignorance and fear of results. Conclusions: Social marketing appears to be effective in reducing unintended teenage pregnancies but evidence is limited to particular outcomes and context. Consumer research provides vital intelligence about target populations necessary for designing effective interventions and addressing inequalities. However to assess its influence on outcomes, studies that feature all social marketing components are required. Overall there is need for more studies that specifically utilize social marketing principles to enable more robust evaluations.

Les amibes appartenant au genre Acanthamoeba sont ubiquitaires et responsables de diverses infections, en particulier de kératite amibienne. Par ailleurs elles sont résistantes à de nombreux traitements de désinfection, aussi bien sous leur forme libre (trophozoite) que sous leur forme enkystée. La plupart des données d’efficacité disponibles ont évalué des biocides utilisés pour la désinfection de l’eau potable et/ou des lentilles de contact, mais peu de données sont disponibles concernant le traitement des surfaces ou des matériels médicaux. Ces amibes sont également capables de servir de réservoir à des bactéries pathogènes, notamment des nouvelles espèces de Chlamydia regroupées sous le terme « Chlamydia-like ». Il s’agit de bactéries découvertes récemment et potentiellement responsables d’infections respiratoires et d’avortements spontanés. Malgré leur importance, peu de données sont disponibles concernant la survie et la résistance aux biocides de ces bactéries. L’objectif de ce travail a été dans un premier temps d’évaluer la résistance des amibes aux traitements de désinfections, aussi bien pour les trophozoites que pour les kystes. Dans un second temps, nous avons étudié la survie et la résistance des Chlamydia-like à la désinfection, ainsi que leurs interactions avec les amibes et avec différentes lignées cellulaires ; Chlamydia trachomatis a servi de contrôle dans cette deuxième série d’expérimentations. Les méthodes de culture et d’enkystement des trophozoites ainsi que le choix des souches testées se sont avérés critiques pour l’évaluation des biocides. Certains traitements de désinfection généralement réputés efficaces contre la plupart des micro-organismes ont montré une efficacité limitée vis-à-vis des kystes amibiens ainsi que des trophozoites (glutaraldehyde). Les Chlamydia-like se sont avérées capables de survivre dans l’environnement pendant de longues périodes mais sont globalement sensibles aux désinfectants. Certaines de ces bactéries sont également capables de survivre dans les kystes d’amibes, ce qui peut leur conférer une résistance accrue vis-à-vis des biocides.

Acanthamoebae are ubiquitous amoebae responsible for several infections, mostly amoebic keratitis. They are also resistant to numerous disinfection treatments, as well under their free shape (trophozoite ) as under their encysted shape. Most of the available data of efficiency estimated biocides used for the disinfection of the drinking water and\or the contact lenses, but few data are available concerning the treatment of surfaces or medical devices. These amoebae are also capable of serving as reservoir for pathogenic bacteria, in particular for new species of Chlamydia named " Chlamydia-like ". These new bacteria recently discovered are potentially responsible for respiratory infections and miscarriages. Despite their importance, only few data are available concerning the survival and the resistance to biocides. The objective of this work was at first time to evaluate the resistance of amoebae to disinfection treatments, as…

▼ Papilomavírus humano (HPV) é considerado o agente etiológico da infecção sexualmente transmissível mais frequente e está diretamente relacionado com o câncer cervical. Somente a infecção viral não é suficiente para a progressão neoplásica, outros fatores associados podem influenciar nesse mecanismo, tais como, a infecção por mais de um tipo viral e coinfecções por outros micro-organismos. Dentre os agentes infecciosos que podem associar-se ao HPV, destacam-se as bactérias G. vaginalis e C. trachomatis que podem favorecer a infecção e a persistência desse vírus. Entretanto, a detecção simultânea desses micro-organismos não é rotineira e poderia ser facilitada pela obtenção de uma única amostra autocoletada. O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar a coinfecção por HPV e Chlamydia trachomatis ou Gardnerella vaginalis em amostras de cérvice uterina, obtidas por autocoleta e coleta clínica e avaliar a eficiência do método de autocoleta na detecção destes micro-organismos. Foram analisadas amostras de 91 pacientes que se submeteram a duas intervenções para obtenção de células da endocérvice e canal vaginal para detecção de DNA de HPV. Tais amostras foram divididas em dois grupos, sendo 46 pacientes positivas para DNA de HPV em pelo menos um dos métodos de coleta e 45 pacientes negativas em ambos os métodos de coleta. A detecção do DNA de C. trachomatis e G. vaginalis foi avaliada por PCR multiplex. A frequência de DNA de G. vaginalis foi maior entre as amostras HPV positivas (78,4%), ocorrendo associação estatística entre a presença de DNA destes micro-organismos em ambos os métodos de coleta avaliados. Não foi possível avaliar a associação entre a infecção por HPV e a presença de DNA de C. trachomatis devido à baixa positividade encontrada para esta bactéria. Porém, todas as pacientes positivas para DNA de C. trachomatis também foram positivas para DNA de HPV e de G. vaginalis. Houve associação entre a presença de tipos virais de baixo risco oncogênico (LR-HPV) e DNA de G. vaginalis nas amostras obtidas por coleta clínica. Enquanto que, em relação aos tipos de alto risco oncogênico (HR-HPV) observou-se associação quanto à presença de DNA de G. vaginalis entre as amostras obtidas por autocoleta.

ABSTRACT - The Human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the most common etiologic agent of sexually transmitted infection and is directly related to cervical cancer. Only the viral infection isn’t sufficient for neoplastic progression, other associated factors can influence, such as infection by more than one viral type and confections with other microorganisms. Among the microorganism that can be associated with HPV, we highlight G. vaginalis and C. trachomatis bacteria, which can promote infection and virus persistence. However, the simultaneous detection of these microorganisms is not routinely and could be facilitated by obtaining a single self-collected sample. The aim of this study was detected confections with HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis or Gardnerella vaginalis in samples of uterine cervix, obtained by self and…

▼ Genomic analysis is a new approach for the characterization and investigation of novel genes, gene clusters, the function of uncharacterized proteins, and genetic diversity in microorganisms. These approaches are important for the study of chlamydiae, a system in which several genomes have been sequenced but in which techniques for genetic manipulation are not available. The objective of this thesis is to combine computer-based analysis of chiamydial inclusion membrane proteins (Incs) with cellular and molecular biological analysis of the bacteria. Three different experimental lines of investigation were examined, focusing on Incs of C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae. Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that develop within a nonacidified membrane bound vacuole termed an inclusion. Putative Inc proteins of C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae were identified from genomic analysis and a unique structural motif. Selected putative Inc proteins are shown to localize to the inclusion membrane. Chiamydia trachomatis variants with unusual multiple-lobed, nonfusogenic, inclusion were identified from a large scale serotyping study. Fluorescence microscopy showed that IncA, a chiamydial protein localized to the inclusion membrane, was undetectable on non-fusogenic inclusions of these variants. Sequence analysis of incA from non-fusogenic variant isolates revealed a defective incA in most of the variants. Some variants lack not only IncA on the inclusion membrane but also CT223p, an additional Inc protein. However, no correlation between the absence of CT223p and distinctive inclusion phenotype was identified. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed sequence variations of C. trachomatis incA and CT223 in some variant and wild type isolates. Comparative analyses of the three recently published C. pneumoniae genomes have led to the identification of a novel gene cluster named the CPn1O54 gene family. Each member of this family encodes a polypeptide with a hydrophobic domain characteristic of proteins localized to the inclusion membrane. These studies provided evidence that gene variation might occur within this single collection of paralogous genes. Collectively, the variability within this gene family may modulate either phase or antigenic variation, and subsequent physiologic diversity, within a C. pneumoniae population. These studies demonstrate the genetic diversity of Inc proteins and candidate Inc proteins, within and among the different chiamydial species. This work sets the stage for further investigations of the structure and function of this set of proteins that are likely critical to chlamydial intracellular growth.

▼ Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common notifiable sexually transmissible infection in young Australian women and has considerable public health consequences, yet the true burden of disease caused by chlamydia remains unknown. There are also no population data for Mycoplasma genitalium, another emerging sexually transmissible infection in young women. This thesis aims to address two issues relevant to C. trachomatis and M. genitalium. The first aim was to determine the effectiveness of an intervention in general practice to increase chlamydia testing rates, and the second aim was determine the community burden of both C. trachomatis and M. genitalium in young women in Australia. Chapter 4 describes the C-Alert study which was a randomised controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of a computer alert in general practice on C. trachomatis testing rates in young women. The computer alert increased testing by 27% [AOR:1.27 (95%CI: 1.11-1.45)], and this small but significant increase suggests alerts might be beneficial along with other interventions to increase C. trachomatis testing in general practice. Chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 describe the CIRIS study which was a cohort study involving 1116 young Australian women. C. trachomatis prevalence at baseline was 4.9% (95%CI: 2.9-7.0) and incidence rate for the 12–month study period was 4.4 per 100 women-years (95%CI: 3.3-5.9). Prevalent C. trachomatis was associated with having had C. trachomatis previously [AOR:2.0 (95%CI: 1.1-3.9)], increased numbers of sexual partners [AOR:6.4 (95%CI: 3.6-11.3)] and unprotected sex [AOR:3.1 (95%CI: 1.0-9.5)]. Antibiotic use and older age were protective against having a prevalent infection ([AOR:0.4 (95%CI: 0.2-1.0)] and [AOR:0.9 (95%CI: 0.8-1.0)] respectively) and an incident infection ([AHR:0.1 (95%CI: 0.0-0.6)] and [AHR:0.4 (95%CI: 0.2-0.8)] respectively). Incident C. trachomatis was also associated with more partners [AHR:4.0 (95%CI: 1.9-8.6)]. More than 20% of women with C. trachomatis had a re-infection during the study [20.3% (95% CI: 11.6, 31.7)] with an infection rate of 20.0 (95% CI: 11.9, 33.8) per 100 women years. In Chapter 8, M. genitalium prevalence was found to be 2.4% (95%CI: 1.5-3.3) and incidence rate was 1.1 per 100 women-years (95%CI: 0.4-1.6). Prevalent M. genitalium was associated with Indigenous status [AOR:4.5 (95%CI: 1.4-14.9)], increased numbers of partners [AOR:2.2 (95% CI:1.0-4.6)] and unprotected sex [AOR:16.6 (95%CI: 2.0-138.0)]. Incident M. genitalium was associated with recruitment from sexual-health clinics [HR:4.5 (95%CI: 1.0-14.7)], having more partners [HR:5.2 (95%CI: 1.0-26.5)] and having had a C. trachomatis infection [HR:4.2 (95%CI: 1.1-16.5)]. In Chapter 9, a psychosocial analysis found that testing was acceptable to women and women who tested positive were less…

▼ Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious reproductive health issue for women that occurs when infection ascends from the lower to the upper genital tract. Possible sequalae include infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. The sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoea) are commonly implicated, however the microbial aetiology is often unknown. PID diagnosis is imprecise due to its many possible clinical features and absence of an objective reliable non-invasive diagnostic test. As PID epidemiology varies between countries and population groups due to different STI prevalence and healthcare systems, country specific estimates are critical. This thesis aims to improve understanding of the epidemiology of PID diagnosed in Australia, particularly with reference to chlamydia infection as this is the most frequently diagnosed STI in Australia. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss the evidence and describe what is known about the aetiology and epidemiology and PID, providing the rationale for this PhD program of research. Chapter 3 involved an analysis of data for 15,690 women aged 16-49 attending a sexual health clinic, to examine the microbial characteristics of PID. At a population level, chlamydia was the more commonly identified microbial organism, with 8.2% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 7.7, 8.6) of women chlamydia positive, 2.8% (95%CI 2.5, 3.0) diagnosed with PID, and, the adjusted population attributable fraction (aPAF) of PID associated with chlamydia was 14.1% (95%CI 9.9, 18.0). Among a subset (n=8,839) of women, 0.3% (95%CI 0.2, 0.5) were gonorrhoea positive only, 0.2% (95%CI 0.2, 0.4) were gonorrhoea and chlamydia positive, 4.7% (95%CI 4.3, 5.2) were diagnosed with PID, and the aPAF for gonorrhoea was 1%. There was a higher odds of PID for women with gonorrhoea or chlamydia (4.4-fold vs 3-fold, respectively) compared with no infection. A sub-analysis for asymptomatic women showed that 28% of PID was associated with chlamydia but only 0.6% of asymptomatic women were diagnosed with PID. Chapter 4 involved a separate comprehensive analysis of the same dataset as in Chapter 3, to investigate the characteristics of clinically diagnosed PID where no infection was identified (pathogen-negative PID). Among 330 women with PID who were tested for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, Mycoplasma genitalium and bacterial vaginosis, 62% had no infection diagnosed. Multivariable logistic regression showed that women with pathogen-negative PID were more likely to be aged >30 years (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 1.7, 95%CI 1.0, 3.0) and less likely to have evidence of vaginal inflammation (AOR 0.5, 95%CI 0.3, 0.9) or report recent unprotected sex (AOR 0.6, 95%CI 0.4, 1.0) than women with pathogen-positive PID. Chapter 5 investigated PID diagnosis characteristics and time trends at a large sexual health clinic, before and after clinical audit feedback. The study found that between 2002 and 2016, the yearly PID diagnosis rate increased from…

▼ Surveillance systems provide important information to understand the epidemiology of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and inform and evaluate prevention programs. However to date, STI surveillance systems in many countries, including Australia, have focused on case reporting. Case reporting (or passive surveillance) produces a limited number of outputs and suffers from bias due to lack of denominator information (i.e. number of tests). The overall aim of this thesis is to generate additional robust epidemiological indicators from two newly established clinic-based STI sentinel surveillance systems and other Australian routine data sources. The new systems focus on two common STIs in Australia - chlamydia and ano-genital warts. The studies included in this thesis involve the application of a range of research designs and analytical approaches. In regard to chlamydia, a systematic review of indicators currently used to inform chlamydia prevention in Australia is undertaken; gaps are highlighted and recommendations are made on additional indicators to be included such as prevalence, incidence, testing and morbidity. Then data from the newly established national chlamydia sentinel surveillance system at sexual health clinics are analysed to describe a) the risk populations reached and trends over time, b) trends in chlamydia testing and positivity compared to passive surveillance; and c) factors associated with chlamydia positivity in young people, who account for most chlamydia diagnoses in Australia. The results indicate a modest increase in chlamydia prevalence in young people. In regard to genital warts, time series analysis is undertaken on a) the proportion of patients diagnosed with ano-genital warts and b) the number of inpatient hospital treatments of ano-genital warts, both stratified by age and sex. Both of these ano-genital warts analyses demonstrate a large reduction in ano-genital warts since the roll-out of the Australian national human papillomavirus vaccination program in 2007, especially in women <21 years of age (eligible for the free vaccine). Overall, findings from the included studies demonstrate that indicators from clinic-based sentinel surveillance and other routine data sources can help better understand epidemiological trends and evaluate prevention programs. The thesis also makes research and programmatic recommendations.
