Los días 7 y 8 de mayo de 2015 organizamos en la Fundación Ramón Areces con la Fundación General CSIC el Simposio Internacional 'Microbiología: transmisión'. La "transmisión" en microbiología hace referencia al proceso por el que material genético es transferido de una célula a otra, de una población a otra. Es un proceso clave para entender el origen y la evolución de los seres vivos. El objetivo de esta reunión era conocer mejor la logística de la transmisión para ser capaces de modular o suprimir algunos procesos de transmisión dañinos.

2. Foods, Health
and Disease
2
• Foods (Diet) are key players in the evolution of
humans.
• Foodborne infection (bacteria, virus, parasites)
is a major cause of illness and death worldwide
and it is a main issue of Food Microbiology.
• The epidemiology of foodborne diseases is
constantly changing as new foods and new
opportunities for FD transmission.
3. Foods and Bacterial Transmission

How are bacteria transmitted and why?
What mechanisms explain the
transmission of bacterial
agents at population level?
The Shift in the paradigm of
diagnostic methods
5. The Chain Model of Transmission (CDC)
It contains the key components that must be “linked” in order an
infection to occur
5
the MECHANISM by which
the agent is transmitted from
the source to the host (e.g
meat, water,…)
HOW the agent enters the
susceptible host (e.g., GI)
WHERE the microbial agent
multiplies and survives WHEN
it is transmitted to the
susceptible host
HOW the agent exits the
susceptible host (e.g., GI)

17. The Footprint of Meat
Eshel et al, PNAS July 21 2014; Kunzig, National Geographic 2014
FEED needed > 3 times
that needed for pork.
LAND
Beef cattle production
accounts for almost 90
percent of the land used for
raising livestock in the USA
acreage that includes
pasture as well as cropland
for growing feed.
WATER needed > 3 times
that needed for all the other
livestock.
Dairy cows required much
less
EMISSIONS Greenhouse
gases from cattle
production
are 40% methane, burped
by cattle from their
specialized stomachs.
Cattle fed only grass belch
more than those eating
grass and feed.

Jones et al, PNAS 2013: Gu et al, PlosOne, 2011; Potnis et al, AEM 2014; Ottensen, BMC Microbiol 2013
• Forest fragmentation and Expansion
of ecotones: transmission between
non-human primates, livestock and
humans (E. coli in Uganda)
• Fertilizers and pesticides can
contaminate plants with pathogens
Increases persistence of Salmonella in
plants associated with plant pathogens
(Xanthomonas perforans)
• Bushmeat and ilegal wildlife animals
trade
55million pounds of bushmeat low into the
U.S.each year – most of it arriving at New York
City, Miami or Los Angeles from China, Nigeria,
Hong-Kong
Nonhuman primate bushmeat
specimens confiscated at US airports.
21. Transmission dynamics is the population-level view of transmission of
microbial agents with the occurrence of infectious disease cases.
• Ro (reproductive number) the average number of secondary
infections produced by a single primary infection introduced into a
large population of previously unexposed hosts.
• Io is the number of primary cases of infection introduced into the
human population from an external source
Woolhouse, Trends Microbiology 2002; Woolhouse, EID 2005; Aragon and Reingold, 2011
Ro < 1, the no of new cases will decline and eventually go to zero
Ro ≈1, the no of new cases will assume a steady state.
Outbreak size is determined by the number of introductions
Ro > 1, the no of new cases will increase (growing epidemic).
Outbreak size is determined by the size of susceptible population
Transmission dynamics

22. Transmission dynamics:
Determinants of the outbreak size
Woolhouse, Trends Microbiology 2002; Woolhouse, EID 2005
Ro (reproductive number) the
average number of secondary
infections produced by a single
primary infection introduced into a
large population of previously
unexposed hosts.
Im is the fraction of total population.
Io is the number of primary cases of
infection introduced into the human
population from an external source.
Most foodborne bacterial pathogens are NOT highly transmissible within
human populations and NOT cause major epidemics
The curves are obtained from a modified version of the Kermack-McKendrick equation

23. Transmission Containment
Designing and implementing transmission containment interventions
involves three steps:
1. Identify control points
2. Derive control strategies
3. Design and implementing control measures
23
28. Genomics for diagnosis and surveillance is a global issue
• Fast and efficient implementation at the global level
• Sharing data in real-time
• Availability of IT-infrastructures
• Technical gaps
• QA/QC
• Political and ethical barriers
28
41. Technical gaps
Procedure for analysis Need for harmonisation
• Gene by gene following
by SNPs
• Need standarisation for each
species
• Kmer followed by SNPs
• Species independent
• Novel taxonomy
41
• Gene by gene analysis
• rMLST, 16SRNA, MLST
• Traditional nomeclature
• The entire sequence
• k-mer
• SNPs

First, I will review infectious disease transmission mechanisms. How are bacteria transmitted and why?
Second, we review infectious disease transmission dynamics. At the populationlevel, what mechanisms explain the transmission of microbial agents and the appearance of infectious cases? How do infec-tious cases interact with susceptible hosts?
Third, we reviewtransmission containment.From our study of transmission dy- namics, we identify transmission CONTROL POINTS FOR PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING ID. We will use these control points to guide the development of appropriate control mea- sures. This process helps us to evaluate the success or failure of our control measures.
The Chain Model of infectious diseases contains the key components that must be “linked” in order for an infection to occur.
First, there is a susceptible host.
Second, there is a microbial agent capable of adhering, entering, infecting, and causing disease in the susceptible host.
In its natural settings, the microbial agent multiplies and survives in a RESERVOIR. The SOURCE is where the microbial agent is when it is transmitted to the susceptible host. The
The MODE OF TRANSMISSION is the mechanism by which the agent is transmitted from the source to the host (e.g.,
the PORTAL OF ENTRY is how the agent enters the susceptible host (e.g., respiratory tract, gas- trointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, skin).
In March, 2003, the “Convergence model of human-microbe interaction” was published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Committee on EmergingMicrobial Threats to Health in the 21st Century.
The committee’s assignment was to set forth the principal factors involved in the threats’ emergence, take stock of existing measures for dealing with them, and specify what further investments of fiscal and political capital are needed
Thirteen individual factors—some reflecting the ways of nature, most of them reflecting our ways of life—account for new or enhanced microbial threats.
ANY OF THESE FACTORS ALONE CAN TRIGGER PROBLEMS, BUT THEIR CONVERGENCE CREATES ESPECIALLY HIGH-RISK ENVIRONMENTS WHERE INFECTIOUS DISEASES MAY READILY EMERGE, OR RE-EMERGE, AFFLICTING INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES alike while posing particular challenges for the medical and public health communities that must face these situations at the front lines. It’s conceivable, in fact, that in certain places microbial “perfect storms” could occur—convergences of several factors—and unlike meteorological perfect storms, the events would not be on the order of once-in-a-century, but frequent.
Epidemiologists can think of this model as an updated ver-sion of the agent-host-environment model of infectious diseasecausation, also referred to as the “epidemiologic triad” [20].However, the Convergence model provides important detail.More specifically, the IOM Committee considered the follow-ing individual factors as major contributors to the emergenceand re-emergence of microbial threats to health:• Microbial adaptation and change;• Human susceptibility to infection;• Climate and weather;• Changing ecosystems;• Economic development and land use;• Human demographics and behavior;• Technology and industry;• International travel and commerce;• Breakdown of public health measures;• Poverty and social inequality;• War and famine;• Lack of political will; and

We will focus in the influence of these factors on the foodborne infections. For ths, I will use data from outbreks in the last 2 decades
Using data from outbreak-associated illnesses for 1998–2008, Painter et al estimated annual US food- borne illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths attributable to different foods classified in 17 food commodities
Human behavioral changes, driven by increasingpopulation, economic and technological development, and theassociated spatial expansion of agriculture, are creating novel aswell as more intensive interactions between humans, livestock,and wildlife.
Most bacterial illnesses were attributed to dairy (18%),poultry (18%), and beef (13%) commodities

Because some types of lettuceare more likely to be contaminated in the field or dur-ing harvest, these changes could have increased therisk of consumer exposure to contaminated leafygreens.
and other changes in packaging, pro-cessing, and distribution have extended the shelf life ofleafy vegetables to make them more availablethroughout the year
Appetite for meat is growing as the developing world becomes more prosperous.
But meat—especially beef—can be polarizing, on health, environmental, and ethical grounds. Chicken outpaced beef in the U.S. in 2010. Total U.S. meat consumption peaked in the mid-2000s and has declined ever since.
Argentina’s famous appetite for beef has fallen because of cholesterol consciousness and economic downturns.
In countries where meat is a newly affordable option, animal protein is a boon, not a debate. But by 2050, when the world’s population is expected to surpass nine billion, crop production will need to double to provide feed for livestock as well as direct human consumption.
Beef cattle production accounts for almost 90 percent of the land used for raising livestock in the United States, acreage that includes pasture as well as cropland for growing feed.
Irrigating land for cattle feed uses almost three times as much water as all the other foods here combined. Dairy cows require much less, and their products contribute the most calories to U.S. diets
EMISSIONS Greenhouse gases from cattle production are 40 percent methane, burped by cattle from their specialized stomachs. Cattle fed only grass belch more than those eating grass and feed.

Current methods for characterizinsing foodborne pathogens in a PH lab should improve in speed, cost and sensitivity. Arecent review
The genomic epidemiological database for global identification of microorganisms is a platform for STORING WGS data of microorganisms, for the IDENTIFICATION of relevant genes and for the COMPARISON OF GENOMES to detect outbreaks and emerging pathogens.
The database holds two types of information: 1) genomic information of microorganisms, linked to, 2) metadata of those microorganism such as epidemiological details.
A timeline showing some of the temporal intersections of diet, natural selection and one of the many changes in human morphology. Green bars indicate the temporal range on which different methods for scanning for selection are optimized to identify relevant changes in the genome (reviewed in [111]). Blue bars indicate the times in which there is evidence for shifts in human dietary intake [6,17,28,36,112,113]. The coloured bubbles are a general schematic of the time and range in size of cranial capacity found in various hominin species adapted from Schoenemann [27] with additional data from White et al. [114].
Since prehistoric time, major changes in human disease bur- den, spatial distribution, and pathogen types have arisen largely owing to human activity.
The change from small hunter-gatherer to large agricultural communities was associated with the emergence of human contagious diseases, many of which areof animal origin. Travel and colonization facilitated the in-troduction of disease to naïve populations. In the last century,improved nutrition and hygiene and the use of vaccines andantimicrobials reduced the infectious disease burden. However,in recent decades, increasing global travel and trade, expandinghuman and livestock populations, and changing behavior havebeen linked to a rise in disease emergence risk and the potentialfor pandemics (1–3).
