背景:以在口腔,皮肤和胃肠道中发现的非致病菌群为类比,血液菌群的存在已通过DNA测序得以证实,但从未得到深入的表征。 关于健康人中存在休眠血液微生物群的假设已经提出,并且已经分离出单个物种。 我们研究的目的是通过血液培养和NGS DNA测序来恢复和研究健康个体中细菌和真菌休眠血液微生物群的生物多样性。 结果:研究了二十八个健康个体的血液样本,每种血样七个。 测试了几种培养基。 在补充了1 mg / ml维生素K,2%蔗糖,0.25%柠檬酸钠和0.2%酵母酸盐的BHI肉汤中于43°C进行血液微生物复苏。 如革兰氏染色和TEM所证实,所有测试的血液样品均为培养阳性。 TEM图像证明细胞结构清晰。 通过16S rRNA和ITS2靶向测序对细菌和真核物种进行分析。 获得的序列以操作分类单位(OTU)聚类(≥97%一致性)。 在培养和未培养的样本中,我们确定了OTU的相似性,其中47个细菌纲属于15个门,39个真菌纲属于2个门。 我们首次展示了健康个体中真菌血液微生物群的分离和测序鉴定。 在细菌微生物组组成之间鉴定出血型差异。 结论:休眠的血液微生物组是健康个体的先天性。 将宿主血液微生物组与健

Abstract
Background:
On the analogy of the non-pathogenic microbiota found in
oral
cavity, skin and gastrointestinal tract, existence of blood microbiota was co
n-
firmed by DNA sequencing, but never deeply characterized. Hypothesis
for
the existence of dormant blood microbiota in healthy humans have been ar
i-
sen and single species have been isolated. The aim of our study was
to
resuscitate and investigate the biodiversity of bacterial and fungal
dormant
blood microbiota in healthy individuals by blood culturing and NGS
DNA
sequencing.
Results:
Twenty eight blood samples of healthy individuals,
seven
for each blood type, were studied. Several culture media were tested.
Blood
microbiota resuscitation was performed in BHI broth supplemented with v
i-
tamin K 1 mg/ml, 2% sucrose, 0.25% sodium citrate and 0.2% yeastolate
at
43˚C for 72 h. All tested blood samples were culture positive, as confirmed
by
Gram staining and TEM. TEM images demonstrated well defined cell stru
c-
tures. Analysis for bacterial and eukaryotic species was performed by
16S
rRNA and ITS2 targeted sequencing. The obtained sequences were
clustered
(≥97% identity) in Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). Among
cultured
and uncultured samples we identified OTUs similarity with 47
bacterial
orders belonging to 15 phyla and 39 fungi orders blonging to 2 phyla. For
the
first time we demonstrated isolation and sequencing identification of
fungal
blood microbiota in healthy individuals. Blood-group differences
were
identified among the bacterial microbiome compositions.
Conclusion:
The
dormant blood microbiome is innate of the healthy individuals. Interventional
strategies to bind the host blood microbiome with the states of health
and
disease remain an unmet research goal.

1. Introduction
In the human and animal evolution many microbial species successfully adapted
to the macroorganism. Most of them could not be cultured and are proven indi-
rectly by DNA sequencing. On the bases of sampling 242 healthy adults at 18
different anatomical sites of the human body and sequencing the 16S rRNA
genes the presence of 5177 microbial taxonomic profiles was proven, but only
800 of them could be cultured [1]. The observation of cell-free DNAemia is well
described feature of the healthy blood [2] [3], but the presence of transient cul-
turable blood microbiota in the blood of healthy individuals could also be sup-
posed. We tested whether the presence of DNA in healthy blood is associated
with DNAemia or it is due to existing blood microbiota. It is proven that in the
blood of clinically healthy individuals microorganisms could persist for many
years without causing illness. The most investigated examples being the latent
tuberculosis.
Nevertheless the blood microbiome is still an enigma, its existence was proven
during the last 50 years. Indirect evidences for existence of bacteria residing in
erythrocytes have been predicted in the past by radiometric methods
[4]. In 1969
Tedeschi
et al
. reported on incorporation of nucleosides in human erythrocyte
attributed to the metabolic activity of mycoplasma or bacterial L-forms [4]. In
1977, Domingue and Schlegel identified in 7% of the blood specimens from
supposedly healthy individuals novel bacterial structures [5]. In 1993 the Bulga-
rian scientist Emil Kalfin experimentally proved by culturing and electron mi-
croscopy that microorganisms are multiplying in the erythrocytes of healthy
people [6]. Kalfin reported 100% positivity of the blood cultures. Subsequently
several other authors questioned the existence of the blood microbiome or
DNAemia in healthy individuals, Domingue (1977) [5], (1997) [7], Nikkari
et al.
(2001) [8], Mc Laughlin
et al
. (2002) [9], Moriyama
et al.
(2008) [10], Markova
(2015) [11], Damgaard (2015) [12] Dimova
et al.
(2017) [13], Gosiewski
et al.
(2017) [2] and Kowarsky
et al.
(2017) [3]. The authors reported supporting elec-
tron microscopy, cultural and molecular data in favour of the existence of the
blood microbiota in healthy individuals. Hypothesis on the bacterial structure of
the blood microbiota in healthy humans have been arisen [5] [6] [12], but
cultures for exhaustive microbiota analysis remain
a target. Rich bacterial
diversity in the blood of healthy individuals was confirmed by 16S rRNA genes
sequencing [14] and total RNA sequencing [15]. In 2016 Paise
et al.
demon-
strated that a diversified microbiome exists in healthy blood. Most of the blood
bacterial DNA was found located in the BC (93.74%), while RBCs contain more
bacterial DNA (6.23%) than the plasma (0.03%) [14]. A significant number of
bacterial species were also detected in the blood of healthy chickens [16] and cats

by NGS analysis [17]. Resuscitation of dormant blood microbiota in healthy
individuals has been tested and single bacterial species have been isolated on
agar plates [12]. However, presence of eukaryotic microbial cells in the blood of
healthy individuals has never been challenged. Goal of our study was to
resuscitate the blood microbiota of healthy individuals and apply cultural, mi-
croscopic and NGS targeted sequencing methods for their characterization.
Here, we demonstrate that bacteria and fungi constitute a rich microbial diver-
sity in the blood of healthy humans by applying a successful culture resuscitation
strategy, DNA isolation and NGS targeted sequencing analysis. First preliminary
results of the study have been presented as poster at the ASM Microbe congress
2017 [18].
2. Materials and Methods
Ethical committee approval of the study (decision 38/14.07.2016) by the Institute
of Neurobiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) and individual written
consent were obtained.
2.1. Culturing
Blood of 28 healthy volunteers was collected in Vacutainer tubes with K
3
EDTA
as anticoagulant (Vacutainer K3E, BD, USA), 7 samples per blood group. The
blood samples were divided in two parts. One part for culturing (3 mL) and
another part for direct DNA isolation (7 mL). All blood samples were tested for
sterility by growing on Sabouraud and blood agar.
We applied a modified resuscitation strategy previously developed by Emil
Kalfin [6]. Three ml of blood sample were added to 22 ml of culture medium.
Culturing was performed in sterile 50 ml polypropylene Falcon tubes (Corning
Inc, USA). The culture base medium was composed by Brain Hearth Infusion
(BHI, Difco, USA) medium and 0.2% yeastolate (Difco) adjusted at pH 6.8 and
sterilized. Sterile (D+) sucrose at 10% final concentration and water-soluble
form of vitamine K
3
- menadione sodium bisulfite (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in
concentration of 1 mg/ml sterilized by filtration were added to the base medium.
Resuscitation growth was induced at 43˚C at 24 h, but 72 h was found to be op-
timal time for growing blood microbiota in liquid cultures. The agar medium for
subculturing contained 1.2% Noble agar (Difco, BD, USA). Isolated blood mi-
crobiota was confirmed by Gram staining and 16S rRNA genes PCR analysis.
Gram staining was directly applied on the cultured sample.
2.2. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Blood samples for TEM were processed within 1 hour after collection. Sterile
heparinized blood collected in Vacutainer tube (BD, USA) was diluted 1:3 with
PBS pH 7.4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and centrifuged at 400 g for 30 min
on Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) density gradient. The peripheral
blood mononuclear cells were removed from the gradient, washed 3 times in

PBS, then washed in RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) medium with 10% FCS
(Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and processed for TEM. The cells were resuspended in
3% low gelling temperature agarose (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and put on ice. The
solidified agarose was cut into 1 mm
3
cubes, then fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde
(Sigma-Aldrichm USA), postfixed in 1% osmium tetraoxide (Sigma-Aldrich,
USA) and dehydrated in increasing concentrations of 30, 50, 70, 96% of ethanol
for 10 min each, 100% ethanol for 2 × 20 min and propylene oxide for 2 × 20
min. Specimens were impregnated in propylene oxide: Durcupan ACM (Sig-
ma-Aldrich, USA) 1:1 and embedded in Durcupan ACM. Polymerisation was
carried out at 60°C for 18 h in an oven. The samples were thin cut to 20 30 nm
and observed under transmission electron microscope Opton EM 109 (Zeiss,
Germany).
2.3. Physico-Chemical Analysis and Radioresistance
Disruption of cells with 0.1 mm glass beads with beat beater machine
(Mini-beatbeater, Biospec Products, USA), treatment in microwave oven at 850
W and disintegration with ultrasound (MSE, UK) on ice was applyed. Integrity
of the cells in fresh cultures was tested by treatments
with 4 M guanidine thioci-
anate, 10% NaOH, 10% KOH, 10% CH
3
COOH, 10% HCl and 10% H

for 30
min at 37˚C.
To test the level of the ionizing radiation that the microbiota are able to
withstand we applied gamma irradiation with
60
Co (Isledovatel MPX-
γ
-25M,
TENEX, Moscow, RU) at 15, 20 and 25 kGy to 5 ml of blood from three healthy
donors and erythrocyte concentrate of blood group A, Rh(+). The erythrocyte
concentrate was a sample produced by collecting blood from several blood do-
nors at the National Center for Transfusiology and Hematology in Sofia, Bulga-
ria. In order to control the quality of irradiation two control blood samples were
spiked with
Candida guiliermondii
and
Candida albicans
with 10
9
cells. After ir-
radiation with dose of 15 kGy, fungi inoculated control samples were tested for
growth on Sabouraud agar. Control plates were negative after two weeks of cul-
turing at 30˚C.
2.4. DNA Isolation and Sequencing Analysis
Seven commercial kits were tested for DNA isolation of the cultured blood mi-
crobiota: Tissue and cells genomic Prep kit and Blood genomic Prep kit, (GE,
USA); Genomic DNA purification kit (Thermo
Fisher Scientific, USA); QIAamp
DNA isolation kit (Qiagen, Germany); NucleoSpin Soil and NucleoSpin DNA
Stool kit (Macherey-Nagel, Germany); and RIBO-prep kit (Ecoli s.r.o., Slovakia).
Most of the DNA extraction kits: Tissue and cells genomic Prep kit and Blood
genomic Prep kit, (GE, USA); Genomic DNA purification kit, (Thermo Fisher
Scientific, USA); QIAamp DNA isolation kit, (Qiagen, Germany) and the stan-
dard CTAB phenol/chlorophorm DNA extraction protocol were not successful
for DNA extraction of the cultured blood microbiota. Successful DNA extrac-
