2 Outline Motivation: How infectious diseases and environmental stressors interact Case example: Staphylococcus aureus Antimicrobial resistance Infection outcomes Asthma outcomes 2 Davis MF, Rankin SC, Schurer JM, Cole S, Conti L, Rabinowitz P for the COHERE Expert Review Group. Checklist for One Health Epidemiological Reporting of Evidence (COHERE). One Health 2017.

3 The Environmental Health Paradigm How exposures cause disease and how we can reduce exposure or response to prevent disease (improve the health of the public) Exposure Internal dose Biologically effective dose Early biological effects Altered structure and function 2015/2016, Johns Hopkins University.

13 MRSA contamination in homes of people with recent infxn Risk factors for multidrug resistance: Human or pet use of antimicrobial drugs Use of disinfectants on EPA list of MRSA-cidal products Rural residence 13 Shahbazian JH, Hahn PD, Ludwig S, Ferguson J, Baron P, Christ A, Spicer K, Tolomeo P, Torrie AM, Bilker WB, Cluzet VC, Hu B, Julian K, Nachamkin I, Rankin SC, Morris DO, Lautenbach E, and Davis MF.

14 Example: host adaptation of S. aureus CC398 Origin as a methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) colonizing humans Jump to livestock associated with: methicillin-resistance gene acquisition tetracycline-resistance gene acquisition Putative selection pressure from tetracycline use in livestock Potential association with zinc Zinc supplementation of livestock feed 14 Price, L. B., Stegger, M., Hasman, H., Aziz, M., Larsen, J., Andersen, P. S., et al. (2012). Staphylococcus aureus CC398: host adaptation and emergence of methicillin resistance in livestock. mbio, 3(1), e

15 Example: Lead and S. aureus colonization Scenario 1: Prior Pb exposure in human host prevents colonization by susceptible strains (MSSA) Scenario 2: MRSA strains selected by later Pb exposure in human host Scenario 3: MRSA strains selected by later Pb exposure in the environment 15 Eggers, S., Safdar, N., & Malecki, K.

16 Non-infectious roles of bacteria Inflammation Innate immune response Endotoxin: Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Enterotoxin: Secreted proteins from Staphylococcus aureus and related bacteria (Gram-positive bacterium) Superantigens: antigens that cause nonspecific T-cell activation & cytokine release 16 Feingold, B. J., Vegosen, L., Davis, M., Leibler, J. H., Peterson, A. E., & Silbergeld, E. K. A niche for infectious disease in environmental health: rethinking the toxicological paradigm.
