Abstract

is a pathogenic protozoan diffused worldwide capable of infecting the urogenital tract in humans, causing trichomoniasis. One of its most intriguing aspects is the ability to establish a close relationship with endosymbiotic microorganisms: the unique association of with the bacterium represents, to date, the only example of an endosymbiosis involving two true human pathogens. Since its discovery, several aspects of the symbiosis between and have been characterized, demonstrating that the presence of the intracellular guest strongly influences the pathogenic characteristics of the protozoon, making it more aggressive towards host cells and capable of stimulating a stronger proinflammatory response. The recent description of a further symbiont of the protozoon, the newly discovered non-cultivable mycoplasma Mycoplasma girerdii, makes the picture even more complex. This review provides an overview of the main aspects of this complex microbial consortium, with particular emphasis on its effect on protozoan pathobiology and on the interplays among the symbionts.

摘要

是一种在全球范围内传播的致病性原生动物,能够感染人类泌尿生殖道,引起滴虫病。其最引人入胜的方面之一是能够与内共生微生物建立密切关系:与细菌的独特关联,迄今为止,是涉及两种真正人类病原体的内共生的唯一例子。自发现以来,与之间共生的几个方面已得到表征,表明细胞内寄生物的存在强烈影响原生动物的致病特性,使其对宿主细胞更具侵袭性,并能够刺激更强的促炎反应。最近对原生动物的另一种共生体——新发现的不可培养支原体吉氏支原体的描述,使情况更加复杂。本综述概述了这个复杂微生物群落的主要方面,特别强调了其对原生动物病理生物学的影响以及共生体之间的相互作用。
