Succinic acid is an important C4-building chemical platform for many applications. A novel succinic acid-producing bacterial strain was isolated from goat rumen. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequence and physiological analysis indicated that the strain belongs to the genus Enterobacter. This is the first report of a wild bacterial strain from the genus Enterobacter that is capabl...

The emergent bacterial resistance to antibiotics, most especially Carbapenems, has become a common phenomenon. aim of the recent study was observation and evaluation antibacterial susceptibility Klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical specimens different Carbapenems. One hundred isolates K. isolated from sites, such as leg, caesarean section (CS), head, buttock, breast, thigh, arm were tested. Using ...

petroleum-polluted soil samples from ahvaz oilfield were enriched, using three methods to detect microorganisms with different dibenzothiophene degradation capabilities. strain nisoc-03, a nitrate-reducing, oxidase negative, catalase, citrate, and urease positive, gram negative rod, showed interesting dibenzothiophene desulfurization behavior, designated as entreobacter sp. strain nisoc-03 base...

background pseudomonas aeruginosais an opportunistic pathogen which causes severe, acute and chronic nosocomial infections. these infections are difficult to eradicate since the organisms are usually multidrug-resistant. carbapenems are considered as the most effective drugs against these isolates. however, recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant p. aeruginosa has become a major healthcare pro...

beta-lactams are a group of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of both gram-negative and gram-positive coverage. the goal of this study is to evaluate the results from studies regarding ig-e mediated hypersensitivity to penicillin and cross-reactivity with other beta-lactams. review was conducted of both retrospective and prospective studies by searching in pubmed and medline for the original an...

Between February 2006 and October 2009, 38 patients in different wards at the A Coruña University Hospital (northwest Spain) were either infected with or colonized by an epidemic, multidrug-resistant (MDR), and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strain of Enterobacter cloacae (EbSF), which was susceptible only to carbapenems. Semiautomated repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence-...

Enterobacter cancerogenus is usually known as an opportunistic human pathogen. Recently, it has attracted great attention for its capability to produce bioemulsifier, degrade xenobiotics, and resist alkalis and antibiotics. Here we report the complete genome of Enterobacter cancerogenus YZ1, isolated from a bran-feeding Coleoptera insect's frass.
