Investigation of invasive Neisseria meningitidis serogroup Y ST1466 case increases in New York State
Bacterial meningitis and septicemia caused by Neisseria meningitidis is a serious infection that requires immediate medical attention and prompt treatment. In the United States, cases of N. meningitidis serogroup Y increased sharply in 2023, leading to a CDC health advisory issued in March 2024, alerting public health agencies and healthcare providers of this surge. N. meningitidis serogroup Y is of particular concern because these strains demons…
What ancient DNA reveals about the ubiquitous rockfish of the Pacific Coast of North America
Comparison of extraction methods for recovering ancient microbial DNA from paleofeces
OBJECTIVES: Paleofeces are valuable to archeologists and evolutionary biologists for their potential to yield health, dietary, and host information. As a rich source of preserved biomolecules from host-associated microorganisms, they can also provide insights into the recent evolution and changing ecology of the gut microbiome. However, there is currently no standard method for DNA extraction from paleofeces, which combine the dual challenges of …
The efficacy of whole human genome capture on ancient dental calculus and dentin
OBJECTIVES: Dental calculus is among the richest known sources of ancient DNA in the archaeological record. Although most DNA within calculus is microbial, it has been shown to contain sufficient human DNA for the targeted retrieval of whole mitochondrial genomes. Here, we explore whether calculus is also a viable substrate for whole human genome recovery using targeted enrichment techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total DNA extracted from 24 pai…
Successful enrichment and recovery of whole mitochondrial genomes from ancient human dental calculus
OBJECTIVES: Archaeological dental calculus is a rich source of host-associated biomolecules. Importantly, however, dental calculus is more accurately described as a calcified microbial biofilm than a host tissue. As such, concerns regarding destructive analysis of human remains may not apply as strongly to dental calculus, opening the possibility of obtaining human health and ancestry information from dental calculus in cases where destructive an…
Oral microbiome diversity among Cheyenne and Arapaho individuals from Oklahoma
OBJECTIVES: There is a major ascertainment bias in microbiome research, with individuals of predominately European ancestry living within metropolitan areas dominating most studies. Here we present a study of the salivary microbiome within a North American Indian community. This research is the culmination of four years of collaboration and community engagement with Cheyenne & Arapaho (C&A) tribal members from western Oklahoma. MATERIALS AND METH…
