Pseudomonas oryzihabitans is a gram-negative bacillus usually isolated from cases of bacteremia, CNS infections, catheter associated infections or any device related sinusitis, wound skin especially in immunocompromised patients hospital settings. Only few bacteremia have been reported due to this rare pathogen. This first case report North India terminally ill patient suffering chronic liver d...

Sphingomonas paucimobilis is an emerging gram-negative aerobic bacterium, generally causing infections in immunocompromised patients. Few data are available about peritonitis peritoneal dialysis due to this pathogen. The clinical courses and outcomes of variable, with a high frequency catheter removal withdrawal. No guidelines for the treatment related peritonitis, its role as pathogen, antibio...

Risk stratification of febrile neutropenic patients can have important implications in terms of management. The first prospectively validated risk scoring system was developed in 1992. A subsequent scoring system was developed in 2000, in which a score of < or =21 predicts a <5% risk for severe complications. Oral combination therapy in an ambulatory or home care setting is acceptable for low-r...

OBJECTIVE The rising occurrence of drug-resistant pathogens accentuates the need to identify novel antibiotics. We wanted to identify new scaffolds for drug discovery by repurposing FDA-approved drugs against Acinetobacter baumannii, an emerging Gram-negative nosocomial drug-resistant pathogen. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we screened 1040 FDA-approved drugs against drug-susceptible A...

Vibrio vulnificus, which is, like Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a pathogen of humankind, is a Gram-negative, curved, motile, and rod-shaped bacterium [corrected] Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the type strain, ATCC 27562, which was the first isolated Vibrio vulnificus strain.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an increasing prevalent opportunistic human pathogen most common gram-negative bacteria found in nosocomial infections. Despite improvements in antibiotic therapy, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to a number of antimicrobial agents. [1] It is mainly present as a saprophyte in warm moist conditions in the environment including sinks, drains, respirator...

Citrobacter freundii is a Gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen that can be fatal to newborns or immunocompromised patients. Bacteriophages against this bacterium can be useful for therapeutic purposes. Here, we describe the complete genome and the key features of the pseudo T-even C. freundii bacteriophage Miller.

Vibrio alginolyticus is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium which is normally distributed in the coastal and estuarine environments. It has been suggested to be an opportunistic pathogen to both marine animals and humans, Here, the completed genome sequence of V. alginolyticus ZJ-T was determined by Illumina high-throughput sequencing.

Plesiomonas shigelloides is a Gram-negative rod within the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is a gastrointestinal pathogen of increasing notoriety, often associated with diarrheal disease. P. shigelloides is waterborne, and infection is often linked to the consumption of seafood. Here, we describe the first complete genome for P. shigelloides type strain NCTC10360.
