Extrait de : "Entre exclusif et contrebande, le commerce colonial aux Antilles XVIIe-début XIXe siècle" : journées d'étude, du 24 au 26 octobre 2019. Université des Antilles
Description : A travers cette communication, il s'agit d'étudier les conséquences des actes de piraterie sur le commerce maritime, et ses acteurs, dans les Petites Antilles (essentiellement dans les Îles du Vent) autour de trois approches : subir, résister et s'adapter. Dans un premier temps, une analyse approfondie des sources permet de travailler sur un échantillon de 486 actes de piraterie dans les Antilles, ce qui est l'occasion, par une approche statistique, d'évaluer plus précisément le risque que cette violence fait porter sur le commerce maritime. Le propos se concentrera par la suite sur les conséquences des actes de piraterie sur les acteurs du commerce maritime, notamment les gens de mer, les passagers ou les captifs qui se retrouvent aux mains des pirates. Enfin, le questionnement se portera sur les résistances et les adaptations des acteurs du commerce maritime qui sont loin d'être passifs face à la piraterie : en fonction de leurs responsabilités quant au navire et à sa cargaison, les gens de mer prennent par exemple des décisions diverses quand le choix de la reddition ou de la résistance se pose.

Résumé : Vibrio splendidus, strain LGP32, is an oyster pathogen associated with the summer mortalities affecting the production of Crassostrea gigas oysters worldwide. Vibrio splendidus LGP32 was shown to resist to up to 10 mu M Cg-Def defensin and Cg-BPI bactericidal permeability increasing protein, two antimicrobial peptides/proteins (AMPs) involved in C. gigas immunity. The resistance to both oyster Cg-Def and Cg-BPI and standard AMPs (polymyxin B, protegrin, human BPI) was dependent on the ompU gene. Indeed, upon ompU inactivation, minimal bactericidal concentrations decreased by up to fourfold. AMP resistance was restored upon ectopic expression of ompU. The susceptibility of bacterial membranes to AMP-induced damages was independent of the ompU-mediated AMP resistance. Besides its role in AMP resistance, ompU proved to be essential for the adherence of V. splendidus LGP32 to fibronectin. Interestingly, in vivo, ompU was identified as a major determinant of V. spiendidus pathogenicity in oyster experimental infections. Indeed, the V. splendidus-induced oyster mortalities dropped from 56% to 11% upon ompU mutation (Kaplan Meier survival curves, P < 0.01). Moreover, in co-infection assays, the ompU mutant was out competed by the wild-type strain with competitive indexes in the range of 0.1-0.2. From this study, ompU is required for virulence of V. splendidus. Contributing to AMP resistance, conferring adhesive properties to V. splendidus, and being essential for in vivo fitness, the OmpU porin appears as an essential effector of the C. gigas/V. splendidus interaction.

Résumé : Les variétés modernes de canne à sucre sont d'origine bispécifique et possèdent une structure génétique complexe, aneuploïde et hautement polyploïde rendant difficile les études de résistance génétique. La feuille jaune de la canne a sucre est une maladie dont l'agent causal est le sugarcane yellow leaf virus (scylv). Ce virus a une large diversité. Seuls trois génotypes viraux, différenciables par rtpcr, ont été trouves en Guadeloupe. Les objectifs de l'étude sont d'évaluer: l/la possibilité de marquer la résistance de la plante au scylv grâce a une étude d'association pan-génomique 2/l'impact de la diversité de l'agent pathogène sur la résistance de la canne a sucre au scylv. Les études d'association ont été menées avec plus de 4000 marqueurs aflp et d'art sur quatre types de données phénotypiques (intensité et densité virale dans les feuilles et les tiges). Les phénotypes ont été mesures sur 189 variétés de cannes à sucre dans deux essais successifs dans un dispositif en trois blocs randomises. De ces variétés, 40 ont été sélectionnées et ont permis d'obtenir 10 croisements biparentaux. Les descendances obtenues ont été suivies sur deux essais. L'incidence et la diversité du scylv ont été évaluées pour les 40 variétés et les descendances. L'héritabilité au sens strict de la résistance aux scylv a été déterminée. Six marqueurs de résistance au scylv ont été identifies ainsi que deux gènes ayant potentiellement un rôle dans la résistance au virus. L'étude montre également que la résistance de la plante est variable en fonction du génotype du scylv et que cette résistance est en partie transmise aux descendances. Créer des variétés résistantes au scylv est donc possible.
Modern varieties of sugarcane have a bispecific origin and a complex genetic structure, aneuploid and highly polyploid, maklng genetic resistance study uneasy to perform. Yellow leaf of sugarcane is a viral disease whose causal agent is the sugarcane yellow leaf virus (scylv). This virus has a wide range of diversity. Only three viral genotypes, distinguishable by rt-pcr, were found in guadeloupe. The objectives of this srudy are to assess: l/the possibility to find markers associated with plant resistance to scylv through a genome wide association study 2 1 the impact of the pathogen diversity on the resistance of sugarcane to scylv. Association studies have been conducted with more than 4000 aflp and dart markers on four types of phenotypic data (virus intensity and density in leaves and canes). Phenotypes were measured on 189 varieties of sugarcane in two successive trials in a three randomized complete block design. From these varieties, 40 were selected and allowed to obtain 10 biparental crosses. The offspring were followed during two trials. The incidence and the diversity of scylv were evaluated in the 40 varieties and the offspring. The narrow sense heritability of the resistance to the scylvs was determined. Six markers of the resistance to the scylv and two genes, with potential contribution in virus resistance, have been identified. The study also shows that the resistance of the plant is variable depending on the scylv genotype and that this resistance is partly transmitted to the offspring. Breeding for scylv resistance is practicable.

Résumé : International audience
This study investigated the clinical epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii and characterised the clonal diversity of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) during an ICU-associated outbreak at Cayenne Hospital, French Guiana. All non-duplicate A. baumannii isolates from 2008 to 2014 were tested for antibiotic susceptibility by disk diffusion. Multilocus sequence typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and characterisation of carbapenemase-encoding genes were performed on CRAB. Of the 441 A. baumannii isolates, most were from males (54.0%) and were detected mainly from the ICU (30.8%) and medicine wards (21.8%). In the ICU, strains were mainly isolated from the respiratory tract (44.1%) and bloodstream (14.0%), whereas in medicine wards they mainly were from wound/drainage (36.5%) and bloodstream (25.0%). A. baumannii showed the greatest susceptibility to piperacillin/tazobactam (92.7%), imipenem (92.5%), colistin (95.6%) and amikacin (97.2%), being lower in the ICU and medicine wards compared with other wards. An outbreak of OXA-23-producing CRAB occurred in the 13-bed ICU in 2010. CRAB strains were more co-resistant to other antimicrobials compared with non-CRAB. Molecular genetics analysis revealed five sequence types [ST78, ST107 and ST642 and two new STs (ST830 and ST831)]. Analysis of PFGE profiles indicated cross-transmissions of CRAB within the ICU, between the ICU and one medicine ward during transfer of patients, and within that medicine ward. This study provides the first clinical and molecular data of A. baumannii from French Guiana and the Amazon basin. The ICU was the highest risk unit of this nosocomial outbreak of OXA-23-producing CRAB, which could subsequently disseminate within the hospital.

Résumé : Bonamiosis due to the parasite Bonamia ostreae has been associated with massive mortality in flat oyster stocks in Europe. Control of the disease currently relies on disease management practices and transfer restriction. Previously, massal selections based on survival to challenge to infection with B. ostreae have been applied to produce flat oyster families with resistant progeny. In an attempt to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in disease resistance, differentially expressed sequence tags between resistant and wild Ostrea edulis haemocytes, both infected with the parasite, were identified using suppression subtractive hybridisation. Expression of seven ESTs has been studied using quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR. The base-line expression of an extracellular superoxide dismutase, inhibitor of apoptosis (OeIAP), Fas ligand (OeFas-ligand) and Cathepsin B was significantly increased, whilst cyclophilin B appeared significantly decreased in resistant oysters. Considering their great interest for further studies, the open reading frames of the OeFas-ligand and OeIAP were completely sequenced. Highlights ► Bonamia ostreae is an intra-haemocytes parasite. ► Flat oyster Ostrea edulis, is the natural host of B. ostreae. ► In this study we have studied genes expressed in response to the parasite. ► Extracellular superoxide dismutase (OeEcSOD) is up regulated in resistant haemocyte. ► Genes involved in apoptosis is up regulated in resistant haemocytes from flat oyster.

Résumé : Les deux principaux objectifs de ce travail sont de proposer des outils pour la selection d'animaux résistants aux strongles gastro-intestinaux, parasites du tube digestif, et de faire progresser la compréhension des mécanismes de résistance chez la chèvre créole. La variabilité génétique du caractère de résistance au parasitisme digestif a été étudiée afin de vérifier quels critères décrivant le mieux la résistance, peuvent être utilisés pour la sélection. L'ensemble des résultats obtenus suggèrent que le critère d'excrétion d'oeufs et le critère d'éosinophilie sont les plus adaptés pour un schéma de sélection puisqu'ils possèdent une héritabillté moyenne et représentent le mieux la résistance. De plus, ils ne semblent pas en opposition avec le poids, principal critère de production. Le déterminisme génétique de la résistance aux strongles gastro-intestinaux a été étudié et a permis de mettre en évidence l'existence d'un gène majeur pour la résistance chez la population de chèvre créole. De plus, la primo-détection de qtl a permis d'identifier 13 régions du génome ayant un effet sur les critères de résistance. Les mécanismes responsables de la résistance aux strongles gastro-intestinaux ont également été à l'étude. L'ensemble des résultats met en évidence le rôle des éosinophiles dans la mise en place de la résistance aux strongles gastro-intestinaux. L'activité des immunogobulines e semblent dirigés vers les larves l3 d'haemonchus contortus et suggère la mise en place d'une réaction protectrice. Chez la chèvre créole. Ces deux mécanismes semblent donc jouer un rôle important dans la mise en place de la résistance aux strongles gastro-intestinaux
The two main objectives of this work are to propose tools for the selection of resistant animals to gastrointestinal nematodes and advance knowledge on mechanisms of resistance of creole goats. this work has analysed the genetic variability of resistance to digestive parasitism in order to determine which criteria best describes the resistance and can be use for selection. the overall results suggest that the egg excretion and the eosinophilia are the criteria most suitable for a breeding scheme because they have moderate heritability estimates and best represent the resistance. moreover, they do not seem in conflict with the weight, the main criterion of production. the genetic determinism of resistance to gastrointestinal parasites has been studied and has highlighted the existence of a major gene for resistance in creole goats. in addition, the primodetection of qtl identified 13 genomic regions that affect the resistance. the mechanisms behind the resistance to gastrointestinal parasites were also studied and first hypothesis regarding the involvment of the immune response in resistance have been made in goats. the overall results highlighted the role of eosinophils in the development of resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes. the activity of immunoglobulin e seems directed toward l3 larvae of haemonchus contortus and may be imply in the establishment of a protective response agasint nematode parasites. in creole goats, these two mechanisms seem to play an important role in the development of resistance to gastrointestinal nematode infections

Résumé : International audience
The early 2000s marked the end of the Golden age of the antibiotics and the beginning of the awareness on the potential threat to human health due to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. As a base-line study, we investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility of 99 strains of non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae isolated fromwastewater and shellfish in 2000/2001 within La Rance estuary (Brittany, France). All isolates were susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefotaxime, imipenem, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, amikacin, gentamicin, tetracycline, doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and erythromycin. The only resistances were to streptomycin, sulfonamides and ampicillin: 54.6% of the isolates had acquired resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent among them and only six isolates from cockles were multidrug resistant. On the basis of the distribution of a limited selection of resistance associated genes, our study shows that V. cholerae can constitute an environmental reservoir for these genes. However, none of our isolates harbored integron. This result casts doubt on the capacity of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae to acquire resistance-associated genes in such context, and on its potential role of indicator of the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in the aquatic environment.

Résumé : International audience
Objective: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacteriaceae in different water environments of Guadeloupe and especially those impacted by waste water treatment plants (WWTP) effluents. The second objective was to characterize the genetic basis for antibiotic resistance of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates (ESBLE and AmpCE).Methods: We have collected 70 surface waters (river and sea samples) impacted or not by WWTP and 18 waste waters from 2 WWTPs in 2012 and 2013. We i) determined the total and resistant bacterial counts and ii) tested isolated Enterobacteriaceae for their antimicrobial susceptibility. We also studied the genetic basis for antibiotic resistance of ESBLE and AmpCE, and the genetic background of Escherichia coli.Results: In rivers, contamination with Escherichia coli and antibiotic resistant coliforms (ARC) increased from the source to the mouth. Highest levels of river contamination with E. coli (9.26 x 105 MPN/100mL) and ARC (2.26 x 108 CFU/mL) were observed in surface water sampled near the discharge. A total of 246 Enterobacteriaceae strains resistant to antibiotics were isolated, mostly from waste waters and from river water collected near the discharge. Among these strains, 33 were Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBLE) and 8 E. coli were AmpC beta-lactamase producers. All the ESBLE were isolated from waste waters or from river water collected near the discharge. The blaCTX-M gene was present in 29 of the 33 ESBLE strains, with 24 belonging to group 1. Numerous strains (68.7%) showed more than one acquired antibiotic resistance mechanism. E. coli strains belonged to different phylogenetic groups; among the B2 group, most strains belonged to the ST131 clone.Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that many human activities can supply antibiotic-resistant bacteria in surface water. Nevertheless, WWTPs were the most important supplier of ESBLE in water environment of Guadeloupe.

Résumé : International audience
Background: Neonatal infection constitutes one of Senegal’s most important public health problems, with amortality rate of 41 deaths per 1,000 live births.Methods: Between January 2007 and March 2008, 242 neonates with suspected infection were recruited at threeneonatal intensive care units in three major tertiary care centers in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. Neonatal infections wereconfirmed by positive bacterial blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture. The microbiological pattern of neonatal infectionsand the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates were characterized. In addition, the genetic basis for antibiotic resistanceand the genetic background of third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GC-R) Enterobacteriaceae were studied.Results: A bacteriological infection was confirmed in 36.4 % (88/242) of neonates: 22.7 % (30/132) during the early-onsetand 52.7 % (58/110) during the late-onset periods (p > 0.20). Group B streptococci accounted for 6.8 % of the 88 collectedbacterial isolates, while most of them were Enterobacteriaceae (n = 69, 78.4 %). Of these, 55/69 (79.7 %) were 3GC-R. TheblaCTX-M-15 allele, the blaSHV and the blaTEM were highly prevalent (63.5, 65.4 and 53.8 %, respectively), usually associatedwith qnr genes (65.4 %). Clonally related strains of 3GC-R Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3GC-R Enterobacter cloacae, the twomost commonly recovered 3GC-R Enterobacteriaceae (48/55), were detected at the three hospitals, underlining the roleof cross-transmission in their spread. The overall case fatality rate was 18.6 %.Conclusions:Measures should be taken to prevent nosocomial infections and the selection of resistant bacteria

Résumé : The transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily is a group of important growth factors involved in multiple processes such as differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cellular growth. In the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, the oyster gonadal (og) TGF-beta gene was recently characterized through genome-wide expression profiling of oyster lines selected to be resistant or susceptible to summer mortality. Og TGF-beta appeared specifically expressed in the gonad to reach a maximum when gonads are fully mature, which singularly contrasts with the pleiotropic roles commonly ascribed to most TGF-beta family members. The function of og TGF-beta protein in oysters is unknown, and defining its role remains challenging. In this study, we develop a rapid bacterial production system to obtain recombinant og TGF-beta protein, and we demonstrate that og TGF-beta is processed by furin to a mature form of the protein. This mature form can be detected in vivo in the gonad. Functional inhibition of mature og TGF-beta in the gonad was conducted by inactivation of the protein using injection of antibodies. We show that inhibition of og TGF-beta function tends to reduce gonadic area. We conclude that mature og TGF-beta probably functions as an activator of germ cells development in oyster.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Cancer/Testis (CT) genes are expressed in male gonads, repressed in most healthy somatic tissues and de-repressed in various somatic malignancies including prostate cancers (PCa). Because of their specific expression signature and their associations with tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes, CT genes are considered to be useful biomarkers and they are also targets for the development of new anti-cancer immunotherapies. The aim of this study was to identify novel CT genes associated with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC), and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). METHODS: To identify novel CT genes we screened genes for which transcripts were detected by RNA profiling specifically in normal testis and in either HSPC or CRPC as compared to normal prostate and 44 other healthy tissues using GeneChips. The expression and clinicopathological significance of a promising candidate-NR6A1-was examined in HSPC, CRPC, and metastatic site samples using tissue microarrays. RESULTS: We report the identification of 98 genes detected in CRPC, HSPC and testicular samples but not in the normal controls. Among them, cellular levels of NR6A1 were found to be higher in HSPC compared to normal prostate and further increased in metastatic lesions and CRPC. Furthermore, increased NR6A1 immunoreactivity was significantly associated with a high Gleason score, advanced pT stage and cancer cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that cellular levels of NR6A1 are correlated with disease progression in PCa. We suggest that this essential orphan nuclear receptor is a potential therapeutic target as well as a biomarker of PCa aggressiveness. Prostate © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Résumé : The New-Caledonian shrimp industry is based on the controlled reproduction of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris, a species which was introduced in the 80s. The major difficulty to which the industry has been faced for 10 years is the occurrence of the "syndrome 93", which corresponds to mortality phases when the temperature falls down in April-May-June. This mortality is associated to the pathogenic bacteria Vibrio penaecida and is expressed at different levels which are variable from year ta year and from pond to pond. No resistance to this pathology has been developed spontaneously. This is likely due to the protocole used to rear spawners, which does not allow to implement an efficient selective pressure at each generation An experimental selection on the criteria of survival after picks of syndrome 93 has been conducted at the Laboratoire Aquacole de Calédonie. The 3rd selected generation demonstrates survival rates improved by 20% during experimental infections with V. penaeicida in comparison with a non selected control population of same genetic origin. The comparison of the correlated responses on the level of expression of 5 genes which are potentially implicated in immunity phenomena (Peneidins, lysozyme, transglutaminase. profiline, annexine) shows that the selected population has a level of expression in lyzozyme twice higher than the control population. This result suggests that the lysozyme could be a genetic marker which could be used in a selective breeding program to he developed in relation with the private hatcheries.
La filière crevette de Nouvelle-Calédonie repose sur la maîtrise de la reproduction contrôlée de la crevette Litopenaeus stylirostris, espèce introduite dans les années 80. La difficulté majeure que rencontre la filière depuis une dizaine d'années est la récurrence du « syndrome 93 », qui correspond à des épisodes de mortalités lors des baisses de température en avril-mai-juin. Ces mortalités sont associées à la bactérie pathogène Vibrio penaeicida et s'expriment à des niveaux d'intensité variable d'une année à l'autre et d'un bassin à l'autre. Aucune résistance vis-à-vis de cette pathologie ne s'est développée spontanément. Ceci est vraisemblablement lié au protocole employé pour l'élevage des géniteurs qui ne permet pas d'exercer une pression de sélection efficace à chaque génération. Une expérience de sélection sur un critère de survie à des épisodes de syndrome 93 a été menée au Laboratoire Aquacole de Calédonie. La 3ème génération sélectionnée montre des survies améliorées de l'ordre de 20% lors d'infections expérimentales à V. penaeicida par rapport à une population témoin non sélectionnée de même origine génétique. La comparaison des réponses corrélées sur le niveau d'expression de 5 gènes potentiellement impliqués dans les phénomènes de défense immunitaire (penaeidine, lysozyme, transglutaminase, profiline, annexine) montre que la population sélectionnée a un niveau d'expression en lysozyme deux fois plus élevé que la population témoin. Ce résultat suggère que le lysozyme pourrait être un marqueur génétique utilisable dans un programme de sélection à développer en relation avec les écloseries de production.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The impact of basal core promoter (BCP) and precore (PC) mutants of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) on liver disease severity remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to screen BCP and PC mutations in 252 HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) positive carriers in France and to assess relationships between these mutations and severe fibrosis. METHODS: Direct sequencing of the precore/core gene was used to detect A1762T/G1764A and G1757A mutations in the BCP and G1896A and G1899A mutations in the PC region. RESULTS: The prevalences of A1762T/G1764A, G1757A, G1896A, and G1899A mutations were 34.1%, 38.7%, 54.9%, and 29.3% (P < 0.001), respectively. The independent predictors of severe fibrosis (>/=F3 Metavir) were older age (P < 0.001), male gender (P = 0.012), elevated alanine aminotransferase (P < 0.001), and the double A1762T/G1764A mutant with no other mutations (P = 0.011). Interestingly, the association of the G1899A mutation with the double A1762T/G1764A mutant significantly counteracted the deleterious effect of the sole double A1762T/G1764A mutant (odds ratio [OR] = 0.28 vs. OR = 3.55, respectively, P = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with the A1762T/G1764A mutation have a higher risk of severe fibrosis. The G1899A mutation is a protective factor against severe fibrosis that counteracted the deleterious effect of the A1762T/G1764A mutation. Finally, host phenotypic and HBV genotypic markers independently predict fibrosis severity.

Résumé : The understanding of reciprocal interactions between Crassostrea gigas and Vibrio sp., whether these be virulent or avirulent, is vital for the development of methods to improve the health status of cultured oysters. We describe an original non-invasive experimental infection technique using cohabitation, designed to explore these interactions. Using real-time PCR techniques we examined the dynamics of virulent and avirulent Vibrio sp. in oyster hemolymph and tank seawater, and made a parallel study of the expression of four genes involved in oyster immune defense: Cg-BPI, Cg-EcSOD, Cg-IκB, Cg-TIMP. No mortality occurred in control animals, but oysters put in cohabitation for 2–48 h with animals previously infected by two Vibrio pathogens suffered mortalities from 2 to 16 days post-cohabitation. Our results show that virulent Vibrio infect healthy individuals after only 2 h of cohabitation, with values ranging from 4.5×102 to 2×104 cells ml−1 hemolymph. Simultaneously, an approximate ten-fold increase of the total Vibrio population was observed in control animals, with a 6.6–78.5-fold up-expression of targeted genes. In contrast, oysters exposed to harmful bacteria had mean expression levels strongly down-regulated by a factor of 9.2–29 (depending on the gene) compared with control animals. Although oysters were still found to be infected by virulent Vibrio after 6–48 h of cohabitation, no significant differences were noted when comparing levels of each transcript in control and infected oysters at the same sampling times during this period: the important differences were noted before 6 h cohabitation. Taken together, our data support (1) the hypothesis that virulent Vibrio disturbs the immune response of this invertebrate host both rapidly and significantly, although this occurs specifically during an early and transient period during the first 6 h of cohabitation challenge, and that (2) expression of targeted genes is not correlated with vibriosis resistance.

Transcriptomic study of gardel and senegal both virulent and attenuated e. ruminantium strains was conducted during my phd. an analysis of transcriptome at different stages of development has been first conducted for virulent gardel strain. at reticulate body stage (intracellular form non-infectious), over-expression of genes coding for proteins involved in metabolism, transport and exchange of nutrients and resistance to oxidative stress was observed. at this stage of development, e. ruminantium seems to activate mechanisms for its survival and development within the host cell. at elementary body stage, dksa the gene encoding for a transcription factor was over-expressed. this gene has been shown to be involved in the regulation of virulence factors. it seems, therefore, at the elementary body stage, e. ruminantium induces its virulence factors. secondly, we compare the transcriptome of elementary body between virulent and attenuated strains. our results showed an important membrane modification of attenuated and virulent strains. for attenuated strains, we observed an over-expression of genes involved in membrane biogenesis and a diminution of expression of map multigenic family. it seems that map proteins subvert the protective immune response. hypothetical membrane proteins are over-expressed in both virulent and attenuated strains. some over-expressed proteins in attenuated strains seem to be good vaccine candidates and willstudied.

Résumé : International audience
Little information is available on the molecular epidemiologic profile of HIV-1 in French Guiana, the French department with the highest HIV/AIDS incidence. To follow the evolution of HIV-1 diversity, we carried out a molecular analysis of HIV-1 isolates from 305 treatment-naive patients between 2006 and 2012. Protease and reverse-transcriptase sequences were obtained for subtype characterization, polymorphism analysis, and identification of drug resistance mutations. Of 305 HIV-1 strains, 95.1% were subtype B viruses. The overall prevalence of transmitted drug-resistance mutations (TDRMs) was 4.6% (14/305), ranging from 1.9% to 7.1% depending on the year. This study shows a low level of HIV-1 genetic diversity and a moderate prevalence of TDRMs with no evidence of an increasing trend over the study period. Nevertheless, the strong genetic polymorphism observed on both genes may be of concern for long-term treatment of people living with HIV-1 and thus deserves continuous monitoring.

Potato can be severely affected by various pathogens, including Pectobacterium atrosepticum, the cause of bacterial soft rot on tubers and of blackleg on stems. To date, no complete resistance to P.similar to atrosepticum is available, so that only cultivars exhibiting partial resistance can be found. The mechanistic basis of this type of resistance is still poorly understood. A proteomic approach was thus developed to identify pathways specifically activated during the interaction between potato tubers and P.similar to atrosepticum. Protein profiles on silver-stained gels in the 58 similar to pH range were obtained from healthy and infected tubers from two cultivars differing for resistance level and analyzed by 2-DE and nano-LC-MS/MS. Thirteen proteins were differentially up-regulated in the partially resistant cv. Kerpondy; by contrast, no significant differences in protein profiles of inoculated and control tubers were observed in the susceptible cv. Bintje. Mass spectrometry and database searching showed that these proteins are involved in energetic metabolism (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 2-phosphoglycerate dehydratase or enolase, fructose biphosphate aldolase and ATPase a subunit), cytoskeleton structure (actin), protein catabolism (cysteine protease inhibitor) and patatins or patatin precursors. Their involvement in defence responses of cv. Kerpondy to P.similar to atrosepticum is discussed. Proteomic appears as an efficient approach to have insight into the mechanisms and pathways leading to potato resistance against P.similar to atrosepticum.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Surveillance of HIV-1 drug resistance in treated patients with plasma viral load (VL) >50 copies/mL. METHODS: The protease and reverse transcriptase (RT) genes were systematically sequenced in samples from 756 patients with VL >50 copies/mL in 2009. The genotyping results were interpreted for each antiretroviral drug (ARV) by using the ANRS algorithm v21. Weighted analyses were used to derive representative estimates of percentages of patients. Prevalence rates were compared with those obtained in 2004 among patients with VL >1000 copies/mL. RESULTS: Sequences were obtained for 506 patients. Sequencing was successful in 45%, 80% and 96% of samples with VL of 51-500, 501-1000 and >1000 copies/mL, respectively. Resistance or possible resistance to at least one ARV was observed in 59% of samples. Overall, 0.9% of samples contained viruses resistant to all drugs belonging to at least three drug classes. All resistance prevalence rates were significantly lower in 2009 than in 2004. CONCLUSION: In France, where 86% of patients were receiving combination antiretroviral therapy in 2009, only 15.0% of patients had a VL >50 copies/mL, suggesting that only 8.9% of treated patients could potentially transmit resistant viruses. Only 0.08% of patients harboured viruses fully resistant to at least three antiretroviral drug classes. Further studies are needed to determine whether resistance continues to decline over time.

Introduction – Le nombre d’accès palustres diminue globalement en Guyane, alors que les orpailleurs travaillantsur les sites illégaux semblent particulièrement touchés par cette pathologie. Les objectifs de cette étudeétaient de déterminer la prévalence du paludisme dans cette population, les comportements associés ainsi quele niveau de résistance des parasites vis-à-vis des dérivés de l’artémisinine.Matériel et méthodes – Les inclusions ont eu lieu sur les sites de repli fréquentés par les orpailleurs le long dufleuve Maroni. Ont été effectués : un test de diagnostic rapide du paludisme, un questionnaire, un prélèvementsanguin pour PCR et un génotypage du gène pfK13 pour les PCR positives à Plasmodium falciparum.Résultats – De janvier à juin 2015, 421 orpailleurs ont été inclus, majoritairement des hommes (70,6%) brésiliens(93,8%). La prévalence du portage de plasmodies déterminée par PCR était en moyenne de 22,3%(IC95%: [18,3-26,3]), à 84% asymptomatiques. Les espèces identifiées étaient principalement P. falciparum(47,9%) puis P. vivax (37,2%), plus 10,6% de co-infections. Lors du dernier accès palustre, 52,4% des orpailleursavaient eu recours à l’automédication, majoritairement avec des dérivés de l’artémisinine (93,8%) avecune mauvaise observance (37,8%). L’analyse du gène pfK13 n’a pas mis en évidence de mutations associéesà la résistance à P. falciparumDiscussion – La prévalence élevée de porteurs asymptomatiques de plasmodies constitue un réservoir importantde transmission dans la région. L’utilisation massive de dérivés de l’artémisinine associée à une mauvaise observancedes traitements sont des facteurs de risque d’émergence de résistance imposant des mesures rapides
