Oil Degraders as Pathogens

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Hydrocarbon and Lipid Microbiology

Abstract:

Among the microorganisms isolated from soil and aquatic environments that are able to degrade hydrocarbons, it is not infrequent to find species that can be pathogenic for humans, animals or plants. In most cases, these microorganisms are opportunistic pathogens, this is, species that can that infect only debilitated individuals that have a previous disease or that are immunocompromised. Several opportunistic pathogens can thrive in many different habitats, being a eukaryotic host just one of them. Certain specialized pathogens, for which the main way of life is to infect a host, can degrade hydrocarbons as well. In addition to the scientific interest of this finding, the success of pathogenic strains in oil-contaminated environments poses some concerns when it comes to implement bioremediation strategies for treating oil spills or polluted sites. This chapter analyzes the possible reasons as to why many pathogenic microorganisms are efficient hydrocarbon degraders.
