Occurrence of virulence-associated properties in Enterobacter cloacae.
Enterobacter cloacae is not a primary human pathogen but has been considered to be an important cause of nosocomial infections. Even so, there are almost no reports on its ability to produce recognized virulence-associated properties. In this study, we show that most of the E. cloacae strains examined were resistant to serum bactericidal activity and were able to produce aerobactin and mannose-...
متن کاملProperties of silver sulfadiazine-resistant Enterobacter cloacae.
Two silver sulfadiazine-resistant isolates of Enterobacter cloacae obtained in a burns unit where the drug was in use were studied. These strains were resistant to elevated levels of the drug, and they were cross-resistant to silver benzoate, but not to silver nitrate. Growth of the strains in nutritionally poor defined media sensitized them to the inhibitory action of the drug. Exposure of the...
متن کاملBiotyping of Enterobacter cloacae.
A biotyping scheme for Enterobacter cloacae is proposed. Tests with seven substrates that gave reliable, reproducible results with 110 isolates of E cloacae formed the basis of the biotyping scheme which would allow recognition of 128 potential biotypes.
متن کاملA rare cause of healthcare-associated infective endocarditis: Enterobacter cloacae
We report a case of infective endocarditis secondary to healthcare-associated bloodstream infection caused by an uncommon etiologic agent, multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae. The patient was treated with a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgery, but could not be saved. With this case, we discuss the prevalence, risk factors, treatment options, and outcomes of the rarely encounte...
متن کاملMembrane-associated chromate reductase activity from Enterobacter cloacae.
Washed cells of Enterobacter cloacae HO1 reduced hexavalent chromium (chromate: CrO4(2-) anaerobically. Chromate reductase activity was preferentially associated with the membrane fraction of the cells. Right-side-out membrane vesicles prepared from E. cloacae cells showed high chromate reductase activities when ascorbate-reduced phenazine methosulfate was added as an electron donor.
