Leclercia adecarboxylata and Pseudomonas oryzihabitans are two bacteria rarely seen in human infections. We present an unusual case of a patient who developed a localized infection with these bacteria after repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon. We also present a review of the literature regarding infection with these bacteria within the lower extremity.

Such models could be developed for predicting outcomes from any thermochemical valorization process (e.g.

Using Co-Mo/γ-AlO at 5 wt% loading led to the highest biocrude yields from starch (25 wt%) and cellulose (23 wt%). The yields from cellulose are more than twice those from noncatalytic HTL (11 wt%).

HTC of the simulated food waste produced hydrochar that retained up to 78% of the original fatty acids. These retained fatty acids were extracted from the hydrochar using ethanol, a food-grade solvent, and gave a net recovery of fatty acid of ∼ 50%.
