Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Caused by Naegleria fowleri: A Global Review

Radhika Gharpure et al.

Summary: PAM is a rare but deadly disease with a global occurrence. Improved clinician awareness may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, potentially increasing survival among PAM patients. The case definition of probable used in this study seems to effectively capture cases of PAM, as shown by similarities in outcomes, clinical course, and CSF profile to confirmed cases. Clinicians could use this case definition in the absence of confirmatory testing to identify cases of PAM.

Concerning P450 Evolution: Structural Analyses Support Bacterial Origin of Sterol 14α-Demethylases

David C. Lamb et al.

Summary: Sterol biosynthesis in Methylococcus capsulatus involves a simplified pathway with the key step of sterol 14 alpha-demethylation catalyzed by CYP51. The structure of CYP51fx from M. capsulatus is the first of a bacterial sterol biosynthetic enzyme, suggesting a common evolutionary origin of eukaryotic and bacterial CYP51s. Bioinformatic analysis reveals the presence of CYP51 genes in over 1,000 bacteria, supporting the idea that early eukaryotes may have recruited CYP51 from bacterial sources.
