The recent emergence of Elizabethkingia anophelis as a human pathogen is a major concern for global public health. This organism has the potential to cause severe infections and has inherent antimicrobial resistance. The potential for widespread outbreaks and rapid global spread highlights the critical importance of understanding the biology and transmission dynamics of this infectious agent.

Article Synopsis
  • Cryopreservation is a crucial method for the long-term storage of microorganisms, particularly bacteria, and the choice of cryoprotectants significantly impacts survival rates.
  • In a study, four different cryoprotectant solutions were tested on 15 Enterobacterales strains stored at -20 °C, with cryoprotectant 1 (70% glycerin with nutrient supplements) showing the highest survival rate of 88.87% after 12 months.
  • Despite the promising survival rates, biochemical changes occurred in the strains post-cryopreservation, suggesting that further research is needed to better understand and optimize the preservation process.

is an emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen that causes severe nosocomial and community-acquired infections worldwide. We report the first case of isolation in Russia and the first isolation from raw cow's milk. The ML-44 demonstrated resistance to 28 antimicrobials of 33 tested in the disk-diffusion test.

Totally, 45 strains isolated from meat, poultry, dairy, and fish products in the Central European part of Russia in 2001-2005 and 2019-2020 were typed using a combined MLST and internalin profile (IP) scheme. Strains belonged to 14 clonal complexes (CCs) of the phylogenetic lineages I and II. Almost half of the strains (20 of 45) belonged to six CCs previously recognized as epidemic clones (ECs).

Susceptibility of 117 strains isolated during three time periods (1950-1980; 2000-2005, and 2018-2021) to 23 antibiotics was tested by the disk diffusion method. All strains were sensitive to aminoglycosides (gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin), glycopeptides (vancomycin and teicoplanin), clarithromycin, levofloxacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Resistance to clindamycin was observed in 35.
