چکیده
Over a 9-month period, 14 strains of Ralstonia pickettii were isolated from various biological samples inoculated in a blood culture medium. Molecular epidemiological investigation confirmed the relatedness of the strains. The source of the contamination proved to be the blood culture bottle caps.

INTRODUCTION Ralstonia pickettii is an infrequent pathogen of invasive infections in healthy individuals. The microorganism is supposed to be of relatively low virulence, but can cause infections, mainly of the respiratory tract, in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. Ralstonia pickettii has also been associated with hospital outbreaks related to contamination of products used for m...

متن کاملDraft Genome Assembly of Ralstonia pickettii Type Strain K-288 (ATCC 27853)
We present the genome assembly of Ralstonia pickettii K-288 (ATCC 27511), consisting of 27 contigs placed into a single scaffold. This 4.76-Mbp genome has 64.0% G+C content and 4,425 coding sequences. Because this is the type strain, inclusion of its data set among other Ralstonia genomes should provide a historical genomic perspective.
متن کاملAn Outbreak of Ralstonia pickettii Bloodstream Infection Associated with an Intrinsically Contaminated Normal Saline Solution.
OBJECTIVE Ralstonia pickettii has caused contamination of pharmaceutical solutions in many countries, resulting in healthcare infections or outbreak events. We determined the source of the outbreak of R. pickettii bloodstream infection (BSI). METHODS This study was conducted in a 3,000-bed tertiary referral medical center in Taiwan with >8,500 admissions during May 2015. Patients had been treat...
متن کاملStreptomyces griseus enhances denitrification by Ralstonia pickettii K50, which is possibly mediated by histidine produced during co-culture.
Ralstonia pickettii K50 (strain K50) is a denitrifying bacterium that produces low levels of N(2)O under aerobic conditions. In this study, we found that co-culturing of strain K50 with Streptomyces griseus significantly enhanced the denitrification activity of strain K50 in an artificial wastewater (AWW) system. Most factors that enhance denitrification activity were in the high molecular weig...
