Case report: Providencia stuartii conjunctivitis
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report a case of Providencia stuartii conjunctivitis. METHODS This study is a retrospective chart review of a patient with persistent conjunctivitis. RESULTS We report the first case of P. stuartii conjunctivitis. Our patient was an elderly man living in a nursing home who was likely immunocompromised from longstanding diabetes mellitus. A conjunctiva...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Providencia stuartii clinical isolate MRSN 2154.
Here we present the complete genome sequence of Providencia stuartii MRSN 2154, isolated from an Afghan national. P. stuartii is a Gram-negative bacillus capable of causing infections in a wide variety of human tissues. Because Providencia readily acquires plasmids bearing drug resistance loci, it is of growing clinical significance.
متن کاملUnusual Enterobacteriaceae. "Proteus rettgeri" that "change" into Providencia stuartii.
A blood culture bottle from a patient with bacteremia contained both Proteus rettgeri biogroup 5 and Providencia stuartii (described in Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bactiology [8th ed., 1974] as Proteus inconstans), which had the same unusual antibiotic resistance pattern. Single colonies of this P. rettgeri biogroup 5 isolate were shown to produce urea- clones. If current taxonomy is used,...
متن کاملUnderstanding Voltage Gating of Providencia stuartii Porins at Atomic Level
Bacterial porins are water-filled β-barrel channels that allow translocation of solutes across the outer membrane. They feature a constriction zone, contributed by the plunging of extracellular loop 3 (L3) into the channel lumen. Porins are generally in the open state, but undergo gating in response to external voltages. To date the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here we report results from m...
متن کاملCommercial identification systems often fail to identify Providencia stuartii.
We tested 145 clinical isolates in an attempt to evaluate some of the most widely used commercial identification systems in Europe in terms of their ability to identify Providencia strains. Two manual miniaturized systems (API 20E and Enterotube II) and three mechanized-automated systems (Cobas-Bact, Sceptor System, and Titertek-Enterobac-Rapid Automated System) were evaluated. Providencia alca...
