BACKGROUND/PURPOSE There are only three case reports of adult patients with spontaneous Pantoea agglomerans bacteremia in the English literature. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical and microbiologic characteristics patients of P agglomerans bacteremia. METHODS We studied all adult patients with P agglomerans bacteremia at a medical center from 2000 to 2010. The isolates were id...

We here in report a case of bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Pantoea agglomerans (P. agglomerans) in a patient who had interstitial lung disease and was treated with oral corticosteroids. A 72-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in both eyes nine days after he received oral corticosteroids. He had marked uveitis, cataracts, and vitreous opacities. Cultures were tak...

on the basis of preliminary in vitro screening tests, a competent strain of pantoea agglomerans ena1 (p. agg. ena1) recovered from soybean nodule was evaluated for its antagonistic activity against macrophomina phaseolina causal agent of charcoal rot of soybean. the results of various in vitro assays showed that p. agg. ena1 is capable of exerting strong antagonistic effect against m. phaseolin...

The attraction of washed, medium-free cells of Pantoea (Enterobacter) agglomerans to wild, adult Rhagoletis mendax Curran, the blueberry maggot fly, was evaluated in managed blueberry fields in Maine. Attraction was evaluated using Pherocon AM and Ladd traps, each tested with or without washed bacterial cells. Field studies showed significant increases in fly captures on the Pherocon AM traps. ...

Pantoea agglomerans, formerly known as Enterobacter is a facultative anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus and form yellow-pigmented colonies on culture media. It an environmental microorganism, commonly found in soil, water, plants food can colonize gastrointestinal system of humans. Although quite rare, P. agglomerans cause wound infections, soft tissue or joint infections nosocomial such bacterie...

Pathogen aggressiveness on the host was studied as one of the influencing factors in the variability of the efficiency of biocontrol by Pantoea agglomerans. The effect of the relative dose of the pathogen and biocontrol agent (BCA) on efficacy of biocontrol was analyzed in six postharvest pathogens (Rhizopus stolonifer, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum, Monilinia laxa, Penicillium digitat...

PURPOSE To report the clinical findings, antibiotic sensitivities, and visual outcomes associated with endophthalmitis caused by Pantoea agglomerans. METHODS A consecutive case series of patients with vitreous culture-positive endophthalmitis caused by P. agglomerans from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2012 at a large university referral center. Findings from the current study were compared ...

Heterogeneous ice nuclei are necessary, and the common epiphytic ice nucleation active (INA) bacteria Pseudomonas syringae van Hall and Erwinia herbicola (Löhnis) Dye are sufficient to incite frost injury to sensitive plants at -5 degrees C. The ice nucleation activity of the bacteria occurs at the same temperatures at which frost injury to sensitive plants occurs in nature. Bacterial ice nucle...
