چکیده
Chryseomonas luteola has only rarely been reported as a human bacterial pathogen. It has been shown that this organism in particular affects patients with health or indwelling disorders. Most reported cases showed septicemia, meningitis, endocarditis, or peritonitis. Two C. luteola infections observed in Morocco are described in the present study.

Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases among Gram-negative bacteria of nosocomial origin from an Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary health facility in Tanzania
BACKGROUND Resistance to third generation cephalosporins due to acquisition and expression of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) enzymes among Gram-negative bacteria is on the increase. Presence of ESBL producing organisms has been reported to significantly affect the course and outcome of an infection. Therefore infections due to ESBL isolates continue to pose a challenge to infection man...
متن کاملCatecholate Siderophores from Chryseomonas luteola*
Under iron-limited conditions many bacterial species biosynthesize Fe3+ complexing compounds, so-called siderophores. Their most common struc tural features are hydroxamate and/or catecholate units, the latter ones mostly derived from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid attached to amino acids, amino alcohols or aliphatic diamines. We wish now to re port the isolation and structure elucidation of two c...
متن کاملStudy of Seasonal Dynamics in Respiratory Microbial Flora in Extensively Raised Goats
An accurate evaluation of the seasonal dynamics of respiratory microbial flora in extensively raised goats represents the first step in early identification of potentially highly pathogenic bacteria in this species. The aim of the study was to monitor the seasonal influence on the bacterial flora of the animals, and therefore a comparative evaluation of changes during winter and spring seasons....
متن کاملProduction of pectate lyases and cellulases by Chryseomonas luteola strain MFCL0 depends on the growth temperature and the nature of the culture medium: evidence for two critical temperatures.
Several extracellular enzymes that are responsible for plant tissue maceration were detected in culture supernatant of the psychrotrophic bacterium Chryseomonas luteola MFCL0. Isoelectrofocusing experiments showed that pectate lyase (PL) activity resulted from the cumulative action of three major isoenzymes, designated PLI, PLII, and PLIII. Cellulolytic activity was also detected in culture sup...
متن کاملScreening for Non-polyenic Antifungal Produced by Actinobacteria from Moroccan Habitats: Assessment of Antimycin A19 Production by Streptomyces albidoflavus AS25
Fungal diseases are currently a serious public health problem, due to the limited number of really effective principles, and the emergence of resistant strains to the polyenic antifungals. The aim of this study was to screen, for non-polyenic antifungals production by Actinobacteria, and to validate the screening program by characterizing the produced compounds. Actinobacteria isolates were tes...
