Roseomonas gilardii is a pink-pigmented, non-fermentative, Gram-negative coccobacillus that has been recognized as a rare cause of human infections. We report the first case of ventriculitis caused by R. gilardii in a 54-year-old man with a subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to a vertebral artery aneurysm; discuss previous reports of this organism as a nosocomial and community-acquired pathogen, laboratory diagnosis, and patient management.

Five pink-pigmented bacterial strains, isolated from human skin and classified within the genus , were examined. Among them, four were identified as , while strain OT10 was deemed to be a potential novel species. Strain OT10 exhibited characteristics, such as Gram-stain-negative, oxidase positive, motile, strictly aerobic and rod shaped.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the bacterial diversity and potential health risks in stray dogs with tick infestations in northern Mexico by analyzing their blood samples for harmful bacteria.
- - Researchers collected blood from 12 dogs, extracted DNA, and used next-generation sequencing to identify 620 bacterial species, including 64 with possible pathogenic or zoonotic risks.
- - Findings highlight the significance of stray dogs as potential carriers of tick-borne and other zoonotic diseases, emphasizing the importance of advanced molecular techniques for understanding these risks.

Bacterial peritonitis is a key complication of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and a preventable cause of withdrawal from PD treatment. Infection generally arises from contamination with skin commensals during handling of the dialysis delivery system or from translocation of gastrointestinal organisms and more rarely from an environmental organism. Herein, we report the case of a 73-year-old admitted for PD-related peritonitis due to with an associated environmental exposure from a domestic plumbing issue.
