Biochemical and pathogenic properties of Shewanella alga and Shewanella putrefaciens.
We characterized 49 strains of Shewanella spp. from clinical (n = 31) and nonhuman (n = 18) sources. Most Shewanella alga organisms (Gilardi biovar 2; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] biotype 2) originated from clinical material (92%), failed to produce acid from carbohydrates other than D-ribose, and were biochemically and enzymatically fairly homogeneous. In contrast, Shewanel...
متن کاملShewanella putrefaciens
The major soluble cytochrome isolated from microaerobically grown cells of Shewanella putrefaciens has been shown to be a novel type of flavocytochrome with fumarate reductase activity. This flavocytochrome, located in the periplasmic fraction of cell extracts, has been purified to homogeneity and shown to contain 4 mol of haem c and 1 mol of non-covalently bound FAD per mol of protein. An Mr v...
متن کاملShewanella putrefaciens infective endocarditis.
Shewanella putrefaciens rarely causes infection in humans. In the last few decades a growing number of cases have been described. The following report outlines the case of a 40-year-old immunocompetent white man with S. putrefaciens infective endocarditis. This is the first known case of infective endocarditis due to an apparently monomicrobial S. putrefaciens infection, and the second known ca...
متن کاملPhylogeny of marine and freshwater Shewanella: reclassification of Shewanella putrefaciens NCIMB 400 as Shewanella frigidimarina.
Dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction by Shewanella putrefaciens and related species has generated considerable interest in biochemical characterization of the pathways for anaerobic electron transfer in this organism. Two strains, MR-1 and NCIMB 400, have been extensively used, and several respiratory enzymes have been isolated from each. It has become apparent that significant sequence differences ...
متن کاملShewanella putrefaciens abscess of the lower extremity.
Shewanella (Pseudomonas) putrefaciens is a ubiquitous organism that has been isolated from many foods, sewage, and both freshwater and salt water (9). Isolation of this organism from human specimens most commonly represents colonization. However, case reports describing this organism as a human pathogen exist in the literature. Descriptions of localized infections such as cellulitis or abscesse...
