Bacterium Alcaligenes Infection
نویسنده
چکیده
Sir,?Dr. R. N. Chaudhuri published case notes of Bacterium alcaligenes infection resembling typhoid lever in the April issue of your journal. That some ?f the cases of typhoid-like fever may be of this origin had been described by previous workers also. I 'described similar cases either of primary origin or succeeding typhoid fever (resembling a relapse) in the Indian Journal of Medicine, Vol. X, 1929, p. 207: in these cases blood culture was positive. Those that resembled typhoid relapse were probably cases of entry ?f the organisms into the general circulation through the intestinal ulcers. Bacteriologically undiagnosed topical fevers are yet in such a number that we ^elcome this report of Dr. Chaudhuri in reiterating the need for thorough investigation of all cases by ^.very possible means and enrich the Indian medical hterature with accurate scientific information.

Genome Sequence of a Strain of the Human Pathogenic Bacterium Pseudomonas alcaligenes That Caused Bloodstream Infection
Pseudomonas alcaligenes, a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium, is a rare opportunistic human pathogen. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of P. alcaligenes strain MRY13-0052, which was isolated from a bloodstream infection in a medical institution in Japan and is resistant to antimicrobial agents, including broad-spectrum cephalosporins and monobactams.

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.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Alcaligenes faecalis Strain IITR89, an Indole-Oxidizing Bacterium
We report the draft genome sequence of Alcaligenes faecalis strain IITR89, a bacterium able to form indigo by utilizing indole as the sole carbon source. The Alcaligenes species is increasingly reported for biodegradation of diverse toxicants and thus complete sequencing may provide insight into biodegradation capabilities and other phenotypes.
