Abstract Background Cellulosimicrobium cellulans is a gram-positive filamentous bacterium found primarily in soil and sewage that rarely causes human infection, especially in previously healthy adults, but when it does, it often indicates a poor prognosis. Case presentation We report a case of endocarditis and intracranial infection caused by C. cellulans in a 52-year-old woman with normal immune function and no implants in vivo. The patient started with a febrile headache that progressed to impaired consciousness after 20 days, and she finally died after treatment with vancomycin combined with rifampicin. C. cellulans was isolated from her blood cultures for 3 consecutive days after her admission; however, there was only evidence of C. cellulans sequences for two samples in the second-generation sequencing data generated from her peripheral blood, which were ignored by the technicians. No C. cellulans bands were detected in her cerebrospinal fluid by second-generation sequencing. Conclusions Second-generation sequencing seems to have limitations for certain specific strains of bacteria.

The inference of biological relatedness from DNA sequence data has a wide array of applications, such as in the study of human disease, anthropology and ecology. One of the most common analytical frameworks for performing this inference is to genotype individuals for large numbers of independent genomewide markers and use population allele frequencies to infer the probability of identity-by-descent (IBD) given observed genotypes. Current implementations of this class of methods assume genotypes are known without error. However, with the advent of second generation sequencing data there are now an increasing number of situations where the confidence attached to a particular genotype may be poor because of low coverage. Such scenarios may lead to biased estimates of the kinship coefficient, Φ. We describe an approach that utilizes genotype likelihoods rather than a single observed best genotype to estimate Φ and demonstrate that we can accurately infer relatedness in both simulated and real second generation sequencing data from a wide variety of human populations down to at least the third degree when coverage is as low as 2x for both individuals, while other commonly used methods such as PLINK exhibit large biases in such situations. In addition the method appears to be robust when the assumed population allele frequencies are diverged from the true frequencies for realistic levels of genetic drift. This approach has been implemented in the C++ software lcmlkin.

Organ transplantation has become a powerful strategy for the treatment of malignant diseases. Nevertheless, graft rejection is one of the main factors affecting graft survival after organ transplantation. Under this circumstance, the transplant-related mortality still keeps up. This invention includes the precise medication guidance of Tacrolimus (FK506) inapplicable population, against the side-effects of this drug. This invention, based on second-generation sequencing, has the advantages of relatively low cost and high sequencing throughput. During the design process, we collect the data of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) concerning the adverse drug reactions of Tacrolimus. Then we filter and summarize fifteen SNPs basing on importance degree (level >key enzyme>race). Thenceforth, after the process of analyzing the raw extract by operating BWA, Picard-tools, GATK, and Perl, we annotate SNPs by Annovar. Through this innovation, people can obtain further feedback on drugs that targets different genes in order to achieve the purpose of precision medication and minimizing the risks of misusing Tacrolimus.
