ABSTRACT: Vermicompost was prepared from leaf materials such as Gliricidia sepium Jacq, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit and Cassia auriculata Linn and earthworms, Eudrilus eugeniae (Kinberg) and Eisenia fetida (Savigny) along with cowdung in six Treatments. Fortnightly analyses (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 d) of the colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria in vermicomposts, vermicasts and earthworm ...

The plasmid-encoded quinolone resistance gene qnrA confers low-level quinolone resistance, facilitating selection of higher-level resistance. Epidemiologic surveys for qnrA were extended to isolates of Enterobacter spp. and to quinolone-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. Two (10%) of 20 ceftazidime-resistant quinolone-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae strains carried the gene, as did 12 (17%) of 7...

Background: Pseudomonas spp. are of important food spoiling bacteria. They present around the world and are isolated from diverse sources. The main objective of this survey was to detect Pseudomonas spp. in fresh chicken and fish obtained from markets of Assiut city, Egypt.  Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, 50 samples of fresh raw chicken and 50 samples of fresh raw fish meat were...

Crude extracts were prepared using the solvent ethanol from the seaweeds viz., Gracilaria edulis, Calorpha peltada and Hydroclothres sp. and screening for their antibacterial activity against six bacterial pathogens were also carried out. The test bacterial strains were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis and Bacillus c...

• Enhanced bacteria inactivation at low water temperature by UVA- and solar-based AOPs. Mechanism of suggested. Preliminary cost estimation AOPs was performed. Carbon footprint in Spain Finland compared. In this work the effect (6 ± 1 °C 22 °C) on (10 4 –10 6 CFU mL ?1 ; Pseudomonas spp. , Aeromonas spp . Enterobacter spp.) simulated aquaculture streams (SAS) using UVA based advanced oxidation ...

Enterobacter spp. have been implicated as opportunistic pathogens which over the years have gained resistance toward most of the available therapeutic drugs. We sequenced two multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates harboring multiple efflux pump genes. These isolates exhibited strain-specific modulation of efflux pump protein expression.

In critically ill patients, catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are associated with increased mortality, length of stay in the ICU and extra costs. The relative risk of infection can be best determined by analyzing rates of catheter-related bloodstream infections per 1000 catheter-days. Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida spp are the pathogens found ...

This is the first report of the draft genome sequence of an Enterobacter species that may have been transmitted from powdered infant formula (PIF) to infants, resulting in illness. Enterobacter spp. are currently permitted in PIF, but the transmission of this strain indicates that the microbiological criteria for PIF may need revision.

Antibacterial activity of leaf and stem bark of Pterocarpus santalinus (Fabaceae) was investigated. The antibacterial activity was tested against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Among the two extracts tested, stem bark extract exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against the tested organisms. The stem bark extract showed maximum activity against Enterobacter aerogenes...

Objective: Fosfomycin is an alternative drug for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. This study aimed to investigate in vitro activity of fosfomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillinresistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCoNS), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VR E. faecium), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Ent...
