This organism has rarely been isolated from clinical material. We report here a case of bacteremia with S. putrefaciens in a rheumatic heart disease patient with infective endocarditis in which an etiological association ...

Energy balance is a fundamental requirement of stress adaptation and tolerance. We explore the links between metabolism, energy balance and stress tolerance using aquatic invertebrates as an example and demonstrate that using key parameters of energy balance (aerobic scope for growth, reproduction and activity; tissue energy status; metabolic rate depression; and compensatory onset of anaerobio...

It is caused by a wide variety of microorganisms, both aerobic and anerobic. To add on to it, there is emergence of specific antibiotic resistance due to inadvertent use of these drugs.
