The bacterial communities of membrane-separation bioreactors (MBR) fed with raw sewage were analyzed by a pilot scale study. The community was analyzed by both Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (FISH) and PCR-DGGE (polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) techniques. Five rRNA targeted group specific oligonucleotide probes showed that the alpha- and beta- subclasses of proteobacteria were the most dominant groups among them. The identification of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in MBR was confirmed by three probes: NEU, Nsv 443 and Nso 190. Mostly the ammonia-oxidizers were found in groups and present in the form of clusters or aggregates. The ratio of NEU/EUB was estimated by double hybridization and image analysis techniques as 6%. The Nitrobacter sp. was also identified inside the MBR with the help of a NIT3 probe and they were also found to be present in the form of a cluster. Usually the clusters formed by the Nitrobacter sp. were smaller than those of ammonia-oxidizing groups. After numerical analysis on the band pattern of DGGE, it was found that the MBR bacterial communities were different from that of conventional activated sludge (CAS) communities with dissimilarity indexes more than 0.6. The diversity of the microbial community was estimated by the Shannon-Weaver index of general diversity. It was found that the value of the diversity index for the CAS process was 1.61 while those for two MBR processes were 1.68 and 1.59.

Introduction: Conjunctival melanoma is extremely rare in children and has low rates of resolution. Definitive histopathological diagnosis based exclusively on microscopic findings is sometimes difficult. Thus, early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential to improve clinical outcomes. Clinical case: We present the first case in which the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) diagnostic technique was applied to a 10-year-old boy initially suspected of having amelanotic nevi in his right eye. Based on the 65% of tumor cells with 11q13 (CCND1) copy number gain and 33% with 6p25 (RREB1) gain as measured by the FISH analysis, and on supporting histopathological findings, the diagnosis of conjunctival melanoma could be made. Following a larger re-excision, adjuvant therapy with Mitomycin C (MMC), cryotherapy and an amniotic membrane graft, the patient has remained disease-free during 9 years of long-term follow-up. Case discussion: Every ophthalmologist should remember to consider and not forget the possibility of using FISH analyses during the differential diagnosis of any suspicious conjunctival lesions. Genetic techniques, such as FISH, have led to great advances in the classification of ambiguous lesions. Evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing conjunctival melanoma in the pediatric population are needed to determine the most appropriate strategy for this age group.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a human food-borne pathogen with the ability to enter the food chain. It is able to acquire a viable, non-cultivable state (VBNC), which is not detected by traditional methods. The combination of the direct viable count method and a fluorescent in situ hybridization technique (DVC-FISH) makes it possible to detect microorganisms that can present VBNC forms in complex samples The optimization of the in vitro DVC-FISH technique for V. parahaemolyticus was carried out. The selected antibiotic was ciprofloxacin at a concentration of 0.75 μg/mL with an incubation time in DVC broth of 5 h. The DVC-FISH technique and the traditional plate culture were applied to detect and quantify the viable cells of the affected pathogen in artificially contaminated food matrices at different temperatures. The results obtained showed that low temperatures produced an important logarithmic decrease of V. parahaemolyticus, while at 22 °C, it proliferated rapidly. The DVC-FISH technique proved to be a useful tool for the detection and quantification of V. parahaemolyticus in the two seafood matrices of oysters and mussels. This is the first study in which this technique has been developed to detect viable cells for this microorganism.
