Quinolone susceptibility and genetic characterization of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolated from pet turtles
Turtle-borne Salmonella enterica owns significance as a leading cause in human salmonellosis. The current study aimed to determine the quinolone susceptibility and the genetic characteristics of 21 strains of S. enterica subsp. enterica isolated from pet turtles. Susceptibility of four antimicrobials including nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin was examined in disk diffu...
متن کاملMorganella morganii urease: purification, characterization, and isolation of gene sequences.
Morganella morganii, a very common cause of catheter-associated bacteriuria, was previously classified with the genus Proteus on the basis of urease production. M. morganii constitutively synthesizes a urease distinct from that of other uropathogens. The enzyme, purified 175-fold by passage through DEAE-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, Mono-Q, and Superose 6 chromatography resins, was found to have...
متن کاملGiant Iliopsoas Abscess Caused by Morganella Morganii
BACKGROUND While uncommon, iliopsoas abscesses can become the underlying cause of a fever of unknown origin. Even in such cases, it is considered rare for an iliopsoas abscess to extend into the subcutaneous space. CASE REPORT A 74-year-old woman with a history of schizophrenia was referred to our hospital with a high-grade fever. The patient was unaware of her febrile status prior to admission...
متن کاملMorganella Morganii Sepsis with Massive Hemolysis
Morganella morganii is a facultative gram-negative and anaerobic rod. It may be a cause of devastating infections in neonates and immunocompromised hosts. Some bacterial infections such as Clostridium and Vibrio are associated with hemolysis. However, massive hemolysis caused by M. morganii sepsis has not yet been reported. We observed a 59-yr-old man who had chemotherapy-induced neutropenia an...
متن کاملHospital cluster epidemic with Morganella morganii.
A cluster epidemic of 13 Morganella morganii infections involving 11 patients occurred over a 3-month period in 1977. This epidemic was unusual in that it involved four services and five hospital floors. The outbreak was effectively terminated when strict asceptic techniques were reinforced.
