Background: Listeriosis is a rare but serious infectious disease caused by Listeria monocytogenes (LM) and predominantly transmitted through contaminated food. Moreover, 15% of listeriosis cases in the United States are pregnancy associated; nosocomial neonatal transmission in hospitals is extremely rare. In July 2018, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) was notified of 4 patients, a mother–neonate pair and twin neonates, with listeriosis at the same hospital. The CDPH and San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency initiated an investigation to determine transmission and prevent additional infections. Methods: We reviewed medical records of the neonates and their mothers, interviewed the mothers with a detailed food exposure questionnaire, interviewed healthcare personnel (HCP), and performed an infection control assessment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). CDPH performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on LM isolates that were then analyzed by whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) to assess relatedness in PulseNet, a public health laboratory database. The CDC also performed testing for LM on formalin-fixed placentas from the mother of the twins. Results: During a 1-week period, 4 patients with LM were identified at the hospital. A mother was admitted at 31 weeks gestation with acute abdominal and back pain that progressed with precipitous vaginal delivery and postpartum sepsis. Her neonate was resuscitated, transported to the NICU, underwent a sepsis evaluation, received antibiotics, and was transferred to another hospital within 6 hours. Maternal blood, placenta, and neonatal blood cultures grew LM. Twin neonates, born to an asymptomatic mother and present in the NICU during the index neonate’s stay, developed acute infection 4 and 6 days after the index neonate’s transfer; blood cultures confirmed LM. The LM isolates from the 4 patients were indistinguishable by wgMLST and were not related to other PulseNet isolates. LM was not detected in the twin placentas. There were no common food exposures between the mothers. At least 1 common HCP cared for all 3 neonates. Infection control lapses included lack of proper hand hygiene during the index neonate’s resuscitation and potentially after cleaning and disinfection of the neonate’s incubator. Conclusions: This report provides supportive evidence that nosocomial transmission of LM can occur during a brief NICU stay due to lapses in infection control practices. Strict adherence to standard precautions in the delivery room and NICU is imperative to prevent cross transmission.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The aims of this study are (1) to develop and characterize a novel nonhuman primate model of pneumococcal pneumonia that mimics human disease; and (2) determine whether Streptococcus pneumoniae can: (a) translocate to the heart, (b) cause adverse cardiac events, (c) induce cardiomyocyte death, and (d) lead to scar formation during severe pneumonia in baboons. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Six adult baboons (Papio cynocephalus) were surgically tethered to a monitoring system to continuously assess their heart rate, temperature, and electrocardiogram (ECG). A baseline transthoracic echocardiogram, 12-lead ECG, serum troponin-I levels, brain natriuretic peptide, and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) levels were obtained before infection and at the end of the experiment to determine cardiovascular damage during pneumococcal pneumonia. Animals were challenged with 108 colony-forming units of S. pneumoniae in the right middle lobe using flexible bronchoscopy. Three baboons were rescued with ampicillin therapy (80 mg/kg/d) after the development of pneumonia. Cardiac damage was confirmed by examination of tissue sections using immunohistochemistry as well as electron and fluorescence microscopy. Western-blots and tissue staining were used to determine the presence of necroptosis (RIP3 and pMLKL) and apoptosis (Caspase-3) in the cardiac tissue. Cytokine and chemokine levels in the heart tissue were determined using Luminex technology. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Four males (57%) and three (43%) females were challenged. The median age of all baboons was 11 (IQR, 10-19) years old, which corresponds to a middle-aged human. Infected baboons consistently developed severe pneumonia. All animals developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome with tachycardia, tachypnea, fever, and leukocytosis. Infection was characterized by initial leukocytosis followed by severe leukopenia on day 3 postinoculation. Non-specific ischemic alterations by ECG (ST segment and T-wave flattering) and in the premortem echocardiogram were observed. The median (IQR) levels of troponin I and HFABP at the end of the experiment were 3550 ng/mL (1717–5383) and 916.9 ng/mL (520.8–1323), respectively. Severe cardiomyopathy was observed using TEM and H&E stains in animals with severe pneumonia. Necroptosis was detected in cardiomyocytes of infected animals by the presence of pMLKL and RIP3 in cardiac tissues. Signs of cardiac remodeling indicated by disorganized collagen deposition was present in rescued animals but not in the other animals. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: We confirmed that baboons experience cardiac injury during severe pneumococcal pneumonia that is characterized by myocardial invasion, activation of necroptosis, and tissue remodeling in animals rescued by antimicrobial therapy. Cardiac damage by invading pneumococci may explain why adverse cardiac events that occur during and after pneumococcal pneumonia in adult human patients.

The anthropogenic modification of natural landscapes, and the consequent changes in the environmental conditions and resources availability at multiple spatial scales can affect complex species interactions involving key-stone species such as bat–parasite interactions. In this study, we aimed to identify the drivers potentially influencing host–bat fly interactions at different spatial scales (at the host, vegetation stand and landscape level), in a tropical anthropogenic landscape. For this purpose, we mist-netted phyllostomid and moormopid bats and collected the bat flies (streblids) parasitizing them in 10 sites representing secondary and old growth forest. In general, the variation in fly communities largely mirrored the variation in bat communities as a result of the high level of specialization characterizing host–bat fly interaction networks. Nevertheless, we observed that: (1) bats roosting dynamics can shape bat–streblid interactions, modulating parasite prevalence and the intensity of infestation; (2) a degraded matrix could favor crowding and consequently the exchange of ectoparasites among bat species, lessening the level of specialization of the interaction networks and promoting novel interactions; and (3) bat–fly interaction can also be shaped by the dilution effect, as a decrease in bat diversity could be associated with a potential increase in the dissemination and prevalence of streblids.

Our goal was to improve spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) cognitive profile characterization by testing the hypothesis that strategy, planning and rule acquisition capacities are affected in SCA2. Forty one patients with SCA2 were evaluated with the Spatial Working Memory (SWM), the Stockings of Cambridge (SOC), and the Intra-Extra Dimensional Shift (IED) tests of the Executive module of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Testing Automated Battery (CANTAB). Paired Associates Learning (PAL) and Delayed Matching to Sample (DMS) from the CANTAB memory module were also assessed to corroborate previous findings. Motor deterioration was measured using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). We found significant SCA2 related deficits in strategy, planning, and rule acquisition. Our results also corroborated significant memory deficits in these patients with SCA2. Further analysis also showed that patients with large motor deterioration had poorer associative learning and spatial planning scores. Patients with SCA2 show strategy, planning, and rule acquisition deficits as revealed with the CANTAB battery. These deficits should be noted when planning an effective therapy for these patients.
