caligenes xylosoxidans bloodstream infections by conducting a matched case–control study and a prospective study. Pulsed-fi eld gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed on blood culture isolates, and 1 explanted central venous catheter (CVC) was tested for biofi lm. We identifi ed 12 cases of A. xylosoxidans bloodstream infection. Case-patients were more likely than controls to have had a CVC (...

We describe a recurrent bacteremia caused by Achromobacter (formerly Alcaligenes) piechaudii in association with an intravenous catheter in an immunocompromised 73-year-old man. This is the first reported case of bacteremia due to A. piechaudii.

In this study, we examined the microbial population in different parts, gill, muscles and intestine region of Channa punctatus from two different fish culture farm. Based on their growth characteristics on specific culture media, the following human bacterial pathogen such as Achromobacter xylosoxidans (Gram +ve), Acinetobacter anitratus (Gram -ve), Bacillus subtilis (Gram +ve), Proteus vulgari...

There were 40 cases of Achromobacter xylosoxidans bacteremia during a 6-year period in a medical center in northern Taiwan. Males outnumbered females (72.5% vs 27.5%). Common underlying diseases and conditions in these 40 bacteremic patients were malignancies (57.5%), central venous catheter implants (55%), surgery (35%), neutropenia (30%) and use of steroids (25%). Recurrent bacteremia occurre...

In this study, a copper-resistant plant growth promoting bacterial (PGPB) strain Ax10 was isolated from a Cu mine soil to assess its plant growth promotion and copper uptake in Brassica juncea. The strain Ax10 tolerated concentrations up to 600 mg CuL(-1) on a Luria-Bertani (LB) agar medium and utilized 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) as a sole N source in DF salts minimal medium. T...
