چکیده
A recently described bacterium, Alcaligenes piechaudii, was isolated repeatedly from the ear discharge of a diabetic man. This appears to be the first report of human infection in which there is clinical evidence of a pathogenic role for this species.

Draft genome sequence of Achromobacter piechaudii strain HLE.
Achromobacter piechaudii strain HLE is a betaproteobacterium (previously known as Alcaligenes faecalis) that was an early isolate with arsenite oxidase activity. This draft genome of 6.89 Mb is the second available genome for this species in the opportunistic pathogen Alcaligenaceae family.
متن کاملSurface active properties of bacterial strains isolated from petroleum hydrocarbon-bioremediated soil.
Two bacterial strains identified as Ralstonia picketti (BP 20) and Alcaligenes piechaudii (CZOR L-1B) were isolated from petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil following bioremediation treatment. The surface active properties, e.g. surface tension, emulsification and foamability of their culture filtrates were evaluated. Bacterial cell-surface hydrophobicity (BAH) as measured by analyzing cell...
متن کاملRecurrent Achromobacter piechaudii bacteremia in a patient with hematological malignancy.
We describe a recurrent bacteremia caused by Achromobacter (formerly Alcaligenes) piechaudii in association with an intravenous catheter in an immunocompromised 73-year-old man. This is the first reported case of bacteremia due to A. piechaudii.
متن کاملAchromobacter piechaudii bloodstream infection in an immunocompetent host
BACKGROUND Achromobacter piechaudii is a rare cause of clinical disease in humans. Previously, clinical disease has only been documented in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of Achromobacter piechaudii bacteremia in a patient with previous malignancy but no known immunosuppression. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old man with distant history of colon and prostate cancer presented with low g...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Crude Oil and Distillation Products by Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria
Biodegradation of crude oil and 7 different distillation products by Ralstonia picketti SRS and Alcaligenes piechaudii SrS was investigated. Crude oil degradation was above 80% after incubation of 20 days for both strains and their mixture. removal of short/long alkanes and BteX investigated was different, from 97% (for hexane degraded by the mixture of the isolates) to 22% (for tridecane degra...
