Five cases of Alcaligenes pseudobacteraemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cluster of five cases of pseudobacteraemia due to the organism Alcaligenes denitrificans occurred in three hospital medical wards over a four week period. The same organism was isolated from four of twelve commercially prepared bottles for erythrocyte sedimentation tests. The most likely explanation for the outbreak is that the ESR bottles were filled prior to inoculation of blood culture bottles. The outbreak was brought to an end by advising on correct procedure.

Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, formerly known as Achromobacter xylosoxidans is a nonfermenting gram-negative rod, that is increasingly been identified as a pathogen in the last decade. Nowadays the name commonly accepted for correct taxonomy is Achromobacter xylosoxidans. It has been isolated from several aqueous environmental sources, some of which have been associated with nosocomial outbreaks of ...
متن کاملAlcaligenes aquatilis sp. nov., a novel bacterium from sediments of the Weser Estuary, Germany, and a salt marsh on Shem Creek in Charleston Harbor, USA.
Four nitrite-dissimilating strains, isolated from Weser Estuary sediments, were investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains belong to the 'Betaproteobacteria' and are related to the genus Alcaligenes. The highest level of sequence similarity (100 %) was found with strain M3A (=ATCC 700596), a dimethyl su...

A bacterial strain (designated as Alcaligenes sp. MS-103) isolated from oil sample of the Aghajari oilfield in the south of Iran, was able to produce an effective extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant (1.2±0.05 g/l) on molasses as a sole carbon source. The highest surface tension reduction to level 20 mN/m was achieved by biosurfactant produced by cells grown on molasses under optimum ...

Background and Objective: Alcaligenes sp. is a non-fermentative Gram-negative bacillus, which causes nosocomial infections, including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, sepsis, and may be confused with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Alcaligenes infections usually are not well identified and due to possible errors and similarities with Pseudomonas, their diagnosis with phenotypic tests is not suffici...

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated AER10T, was isolated from the roots of Ammodendron bifolium collected from Takeermohuer desert in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwestern China. Growth was found to occur from 10 to 45 °C, at pH 5.0-9.0, and could tolerate up to 10 % (w/v) NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence result indicated that the strain AER10T belongs to the ge...
