Isolation of Serratia rubidaea from a mixed infection after a horse bite.

چکیده
Horse bite infections are very rarely reported in the medical literature. Here we present a case of a severe facial infection in a 2-year-old boy after a horse bite, from which Serratia rubidaea and Enterobacter cloacae were isolated. Some pieces of grass were found inside the wound and were removed before performing a surgical toilet. The presence of these two gram-negative bacteria associated with a horse bite infection, as well as other organisms such as anaerobes, Pseudomonas, gram-positive cocci, Actinobacillus spp., previously described in other works, should be taken into account when selecting the antibiotics for prophylactic treatment of farm animal bites.

Serratia rubidaea isolated from a silastic foam dressing.
A pigment-producing strain of Serratia rubidaea was isolated from two consecutive cultures from a sponge of silastic foam used as a dressing for chronic crural ulcers. The bacterium caused a red discolouration of the sponge and the surrounding part of the leg. The silastic sponge creates a new type of environment for microorganisms. The growth of previously rare bacteria such as S. rubidaea may...

متن کاملInvestigation of Lipase Production by Milk Isolate Serratia rubidaea
Production of extracellular lipase in submerged culture of Serratia rubidaea has been investigated. The lipase production was optimized in shake flask experiments. The observed pH and temperature range optimum for maximum lipase production were 7–8 and 30–40 °C, respectively. With a selected nitrogen source, casein ((6.5±0.015) U/mL) and soytone ((9.4±0.02) U/mL) were suitable substrates for ac...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of plant and human pathogenic bacteria from green pepper (Capsicum annum L.) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Forty-three bacterial isolates in five genera were recovered from naturally infected green pepper fruits (38 samples) showing dark brown, irregular-shaped splotches. The pathogenicity test was performed on healthy green pepper fruits and red colonies were from inoculated fruits showing the same symptoms and the infected area developed into soft rot. Their identification was based on phenotypic ...
