Universal digital high-resolution melting for the detection of pulmonary mold infections. J Clin Microbiol 2024; 62:e0147623. [PMID: 38695528 DOI: 10.1128/jcm.01476-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Invasive mold infections (IMIs) are associated with high morbidity, particularly in immunocompromised patients, with mortality rates between 40% and 80%. Early initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy can substantially improve outcomes, yet early diagnosis remains difficult to establish and often requires multidisciplinary teams evaluating clinical and radiological findings plus supportive mycological findings. Universal digital high-resolution melting (U-dHRM) analysis may enable rapid and robust diagnoses of IMI. A universal fungal assay was developed for U-dHRM and used to generate a database of melt curve signatures for 19 clinically relevant fungal pathogens. A machine learning algorithm (ML) was trained to automatically classify these pathogen curves and detect novel melt curves. Performance was assessed on 73 clinical bronchoalveolar lavage samples from patients suspected of IMI. Novel curves were identified by micropipetting U-dHRM reactions and Sanger sequencing amplicons. U-dHRM achieved 97% overall fungal organism identification accuracy and a turnaround time of ~4 hrs. U-dHRM detected pathogenic molds (Aspergillus, Mucorales, Lomentospora, and Fusarium) in 73% of 30 samples classified as IMI, including mixed infections. Specificity was optimized by requiring the number of pathogenic mold curves detected in a sample to be >8 and a sample volume to be 1 mL, which resulted in 100% specificity in 21 at-risk patients without IMI. U-dHRM showed promise as a separate or combination diagnostic approach to standard mycological tests. U-dHRM's speed, ability to simultaneously identify and quantify clinically relevant mold pathogens in polymicrobial samples, and detect emerging opportunistic pathogens may aid treatment decisions, improving patient outcomes. IMPORTANCE Improvements in diagnostics for invasive mold infections are urgently needed. This work presents a new molecular detection approach that addresses technical and workflow challenges to provide fast pathogen detection, identification, and quantification that could inform treatment to improve patient outcomes.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024; 76:2583-2589. [PMID: 38883534 PMCID: PMC11169188 DOI: 10.1007/s12070-024-04563-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Multidrug resistant strains and fungi add to treatment conundrums in skull base osteomyelitis (SBO). Deep tissue culture in these patients is challenging due to their advanced age and co-morbidities. Besides, fungal culture positivity is seen only in 60% of invasive aspergillosis. To determine the efficacy of a minimally invasive test-Serum Galactomannan (sGM)-for diagnosing fungal SBO. Prospective observational study. Thirty- three patients, clinically diagnosed with SBO were included in this study. Baseline ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), CRP (C- Reactive Protein), pain score, and sGM were noted for all patients. Antifungal Voriconazole was initiated on patients if the sGM values were more than 0.8. At the 12th week of treatment, all parameters were repeated and compared with the baseline values. A significant reduction was noted in ESR, CRP, and pain scores at the 12th week of treatment compared to the baseline values in patients with raised sGM values who were started on Voriconazole. For a culture-proven fungal skull base osteomyelitis with a cut-off value of sGM > / = 0.8, the obtained sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy were 81.82, 36.36, 39.13, 80 and 51.52% respectively. At a cut-off value of sGM > / = 01.6, the values of sensitivity/specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy were 81.82/72.73%, 60%, 88.89% and 75.76%. Culture-negative patients in SBO with sGM value > 0.8 were more likely to be fungal SBO. An sGM cut-off of 1.6 was observed to give maximum accuracy for diagnosing fungal SBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, culture methods are commonly used in clinical tests to detect pathogenic fungi including Candida spp. Nonetheless, these methods are cumbersome and time-consuming, thereby leading to considerable difficulties in diagnosis of pathogenic fungal infections, especially in situations that respiratory samples such as alveolar lavage fluid and pleural fluid contain extremely small amounts of microorganisms. The aim of this study was to elucidate the utility and practicality of microfluidic chip technology in quick detection of respiratory pathogenic fungi. METHODS DNAs of clinical samples (mainly derived from sputa, alveolar lavage fluid, and pleural fluid) from 64 coastal patients were quickly detected using microfluidic chip technology with 20 species of fungal spectrum and then validated by Real-time qPCR, and their clinical baseline data were analyzed. RESULTS Microfluidic chip results showed that 36 cases infected with Candida spp. and 27 cases tested negative for fungi, which was consistent with Real-time qPCR validation. In contrast, only 16 cases of fungal infections were detected by the culture method; however, one of the culture-positive samples tested negative by microfluidic chip and qPCR validation. Moreover, we found that the patients with Candida infections had significantly higher rates of platelet count reduction than fungi-negative controls. When compared with the patients infected with C. albicans alone, the proportion of males in the patients co-infected with multiple Candidas significantly increased, while their platelet counts significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that constant temperature amplification-based microfluidic chip technology combined with routine blood tests can increase the detection speed and accuracy (including sensitivity and specificity) of identifying respiratory pathogenic fungi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acid-fast bacilli(AFB) and fungi are generally slow-growing, difficult to culture, and rarely the cause of infection. The goal of this study was to evaluate the value of routinely obtaining AFB and fungal cultures in foot and ankle surgery at a US hospital. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted to determine the number of positive AFB and fungal cultures out of the total number of foot and ankle samples tested. Between 2014 and 2019, patients who underwent surgery for a foot and ankle infection for soft tissue infection, septic arthritis, infectious postoperative complications were identified. Charts were reviewed to identify the results of the microbiological tests performed. To determine the value of running AFB and fungal cultures, the costs of each were provided by the microbiology lab at our institution. RESULTS Of the 322 patient charts reviewed, there were 434 AFB and 525 fungal cultures performed. None of these cultures were indicated to be positive for AFB (0%), and 22 (4.19%) were positive for fungi. The total labor and material costs were calculated to be $38 767. The AFB cultures cost $23 967, the positive fungal cultures cost $2371, and the negative fungal cultures cost $36 395.36. CONCLUSION This 322-case series of surgically managed foot and ankle infections showed 0% and 4.1% positivity rates of AFB and fungal cultures, respectively. Additionally, only 20% of cases with positive cultures were identified as pathologic requiring antifungal treatment. Further analysis is needed to determine best practices for obtaining vs declining to culture for AFB or fungal species, including assessing patient outcomes in the series of culture-positive(fungal-only) cases. Our results suggest that in our clinical setting of a US hospital system, routine fungal and AFB cultures may not be necessary but should be considered for chronic/recalcitrant infections, immunocompromised patients, and those with high surgeon suspicion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct specimen sequencing (DSS) offers the promise of enhanced pathogen detection and disease diagnosis. METHODS A single healthcare network, retrospective chart review over a 3-year period was completed for all cases in which DSS was submitted, in addition to conventional testing (CT) for workup of an infectious disease. We sought to compare results (concordance and discordance) from these 2 techniques in order to evaluate any additional yield from DSS over CT. Additionally, we calculated mean turnaround time (TAT) and average cost for obtaining DSS on all specimens. RESULTS A total of 23 patients' specimens were sent for DSS. DSS and CT concordance occurred in 91% (21/23) of cases. DSS testing was able to identify specific pathogens in 17.4% (4/23) of patients, out of which 4% (1/23) were discordant. The respective mean TAT and total cost per specimen for DSS were 6 days and $821.52 (range $573-$1590), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In our limited cohort of patients, there was significant concordance between the 2 testing modalities primarily due to negative tests. DSS did not provide significant additional yield in the infectious diagnosis in our cohort compared to CT. Short TAT may provide advantage in the detection of fastidious organisms, but high cost remains a limitation. Larger sample size may reveal a clinically meaningful difference.

Abstract
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fungal infections of the maxillofacial region have become prevalent, making their accurate diagnosis vital. Histopathological staining remains a simple, cost-effective technique for differentiation and diagnosis of the causative fungal organisms. The present study aims to evaluate the staining efficacy of Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), Alcian Blue, Safranin-O and Gomori's Methenamine Silver (GMS) on fungal smears. This research work also attempts to study the morphometric characteristics of Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus oryzae. Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus oryzae, 10 smears each, were stained using PAS, Alcian Blue, Safranin-O and GMS. The morphological characteristics and staining efficacy were examined, and semi-quantitative scoring was performed. Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus oryzae were stained for the first time with Safranin-O. The morphometric traits were then analyzed using an image analysis software. Safranin-O provided the most reliable staining efficacy amongst the stains and optimum morphological definition for all three organisms. Safranin-O was found to be superior to PAS and GMS, ensuring detection of even the most minute mycotic colonies. The hyphae of Aspergillus flavus to be the largest, and the spores and fruiting body of Rhizopus oryzae were found to be the largest amongst the three organisms compared. Early and accurate diagnosis of fungal infections can significantly reduce morbidity in orofacial fungal infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tinea capitis is an infection of the scalp and hair shaft caused by dermatophytes that predominantly occurs in children. Skin fungal infections have been found to be associated with alterations in the overall bacterial and fungal communities. However, the scalp microbiome in tinea capitis have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVES To investigate and compare the scalp bacterial and fungal microbiomes between children with tinea capitis and healthy children and between children and adults. METHODS Skin samples were collected from the scalp. Bacterial and fungal community compositions were analysed by amplification sequencing of the V3-V4 of 16S rDNA and ITS1-5F, respectively. RESULTS The predominant fungi detected using amplicon sequencing were consistent with the culture- or real-time PCR-positive pathogens in most samples. Children with tinea capitis had lower fungal and higher bacterial Shannon diversity than healthy children. A higher relative abundance of pathogenic fungi and significant alterations in the bacterial community in the lesional sites of tinea capitis than healthy scalps. Compared with adults, healthy children were characterised by higher Shannon diversities with significantly lower relative abundances of Malassezia and Cutibacterium and higher relative abundances of Candida and Streptococcus. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that tinea capitis was characterised by significant alterations in both fungal and bacterial communities and amplicon sequencing could be a complementary method for pathogen identification.
