Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Helicobacter cinaedi causes bacteremia and inflammation of subcutaneous tissue in humans. To clarify the role of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) in H. cinaedi, the pathogenicity of a mutant strain harboring a deletion in a T6SS-related gene, TssG, was compared for pathogenicity with that of a wild-type strain. In addition, mice infected with H. cinaedi were administered some antimicrobials orally to establish a useful treatment method. Although the suggested that suggested that combined administration of ABPC and MINO or administration of IPM/CS alone would be effective for eliminating H. cinaedi, further studies to establish an ideal administration method will be required.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
H. cinaediによるヒト菌血症や軟部組織の炎症などは、抗菌薬の投与により寛解するが、30~60%の患者で再燃するという報告もあり、有効な治療法は確立していない。病原因子の分泌装置としての機構であるⅥ型分泌装置(T6SS)の関連遺伝子(TssG)は、病原性への関与が低いことが示唆されたが、H. cinaedi感染マウスを用いた抗生物質投与試験において、今後の有効な治療法に繋がる新な知見が得られた。
