Identification of the Endosymbiotic Bacteria in Paederus fuscipes (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) Collected in the Student Hostels of UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Paederus dermatitis is a skin condition caused by contact with certain beetles from the genus Paederus, including Paederus fuscipes. UiTM Puncak Alam has observed a notable increase in occurrences of Paederus dermatitis, particularly among students residing in the hostels. The disease is associated with endosymbiotic bacteria, which play a significant role in the P. fuscipes microbiome. However, no information is available on the community of endosymbiotic bacteria in P. fuscipes at Bandar Puncak Alam, a location primarily covered by forest. Materials and methods: We carried out this study to determine the abundance of beetles trapped by sticky traps on each floor of the student's hostel. In addition, we conducted an initial analysis using a metagenomic technique to identify the community of endosymbiont bacteria associated with P. fuscipes in the area. Results: The study discovered that P. fuscipes was most abundant on the highest floor. Metagenomic analysis of two selected P. fuscipes revealed 26 different bacterial species, with Peptostreptococcus anaerobius and Vagococcus carniphilus being the most common endosymbionts. Conclusion: The bacterial composition of P. fuscipes in the study differs from that observed in earlier studies conducted at different habitats, suggesting that their habitat has an impact on the endosymbiont bacteria community. Hence, additional research is required to compare the community of endosymbiotic bacterial species across various habitats and to determine whether different locations influence the endosymbiont bacterial community.
