Bats harbor several pathogens that can be disseminated through their feces, hence,

26

becoming important sources of environmental contamination, once they are able to fly long

27

distances (Botelho et al., 2012). Yeasts colonize the gastrointestinal tract of different animal

28

species (Brilhante et al., 2013), but reports on the composition and antifungal susceptibility

29

of the yeast microbiota of bats are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed at isolating yeasts

30

from bats and their droppings, investigating the occurrence of the cryptic species Candida

31

albicans-Candida dubliniensis, C. parapsilosis complex, C. famata complex and C.

32

guilliermondii complex, and, assessing the antifungal susceptibility of the recovered isolates.

33

This project was approved by Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity (license 45268-1)

34

and the Ethics Committee for the Use of Animals of the State University of Ceará

35

(protocol 4797909/2014). Animals were captured in Fortaleza and Metropolitan Region,

36

state of Ceará, Brazil, from January to April 2015, with mist or dip nets. Bat species

37

were identified according to Reis et al. (2007).

38

Samples were collected from oral and rectal cavities of the bats with sterile

39

swabs (Brilhante et al., 2013). Guano samples were collected from shelters, processed

40

(Filiú et al., 2002) and seeded on Sabouraud agar with chloramphenicol (0.05 g/L),

41

Sabouraud agar with chloramphenicol (0.05 g/L) and cycloheximide (0.4 g/L), and bird

42

seed (Guizotia abyssinica) agar. The plates were incubated at 25 °C, for 20 days. Yeast

43

colonies were identified through growth on chromogenic medium, biochemical and

44

micromorphological features (Brilhante et al., 2013; Kurtzman et al., 2011). The strains

45

were also identified through Vitek2™ (Biomerieux). The cryptic species C. albicans/C.

46

dubliniensis and the species within the complexes C. parapsilosis, C. famata and C.

47

guilliermondii were, then, identified through molecular methods. DNA was extracted

48

with High Pure PCR Template Preparation Kit™ (Roche, Germany). C. albicans-C.

49

dubliniensis were identified through conventional PCR, based on amplicon size, as

50

described by Ahmad et al. (2012). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) 2 Downloaded from www.microbiologyresearch.org by IP: 184.174.98.135 On: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:20:06

51

was used to identify the species within the C. parapsilosis (Tavanti et al., 2005) and C.

52

famata and C. guilliermondii complexes (Feng et al., 2014). The SADH gene was

53

amplified, resulting in 716 bp-amplicons that are compatible with C. parapsilosis.

54

Afterwards, these amplicons were digested with the enzyme BanI (TermoLab –

55

Lithuania) and the identification of C. orthopsilosis, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto and C.

56

metapsilosis was based on number and molecular weight of DNA bands (Tavanti et al.,

57

2005). As for C. famata and C. guilliermondii species complexes, a specific ITS region

58

was amplified, resulting in 1.1-kb-amplicons that are compatible with C. famata/C.

59

guiliermondii. These amplicons were digested with the enzymes BsaHI and XbaI

60

(TermoLab– Lithuania), and the identification of C. famata and Debaryomyces

61

nepalensis, and C. guilliermondii and C. fermentati was based on number and molecular

62

weight of DNA bands (Feng et al., 2014). Finally, uncommon Candida isolates were

63

submitted to sequence analyses of the ITS region (Desnos-Ollivier et al., 2008).

64

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antifungal drugs against 32 of

65

the isolated yeasts was determined through broth microdilution method (CLSI, 2008a).

66

Amphotericin B, itraconazole, voriconazole and caspofungin were tested. MIC values

67

were interpreted as recommended (CLSI, 2008b; CLSI, 2012). C. parapsilosis ATCC

68

22019 and C. krusei ATCC 6258 were included as quality control.

69

Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Kruskal–Wallis one-way

70

ANOVA, followed by Dunn's post-hoc test, were applied in the analyses of the obtained

71

data. P-values lower than 5% indicated significant conclusions.

72

Fifty-six bats (3 Artibeus lituratus; 39 Carollia perspicillata; 1 Diphylla

73

ecaudata; 6 Glossophaga soricina; 2 Phyllostomus stenops; 1 Peropteryx macrotis; 1

74

Saccopteryx bilineata; 3 Trachops cirrhosus) were captured and 26 (46.4%) were

75

positive for the recovery of yeasts from at least one site. Yeasts were not recovered from 3 Downloaded from www.microbiologyresearch.org by IP: 184.174.98.135 On: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:20:06

76

the bat species Diphylla ecaudata and Phyllostomus stenops. A total of 34 isolates were

77

obtained: 26 from the rectum and 08 from the oral cavity. Furthermore, four (33.3%) of

78

the 12 guano samples were positive, with one yeast species per specimen (Table 1). The

79

rectum had a higher recovery rate than the oral cavity (P
