Exudate removed from an infection that developed below the left eye of a 10-year-old male following a previously inflicted wound after aquatic exposure was cultured and revealed two different Aeromonas spp. Further characterization showed that one strain was phenotypically identical to Aeromonas veronii, while the other strain was confirmed by DNA hybridization analysis to be Aeromonas jandaei sp. nov. This is the first report of these more recently described aeromonads, thus far rarely reported from clinical disease, occurring simultaneously in a human infection.

Article Synopsis
- * A study in Georgia examined sewage and water samples, identifying mcr-positive Gram-negative bacteria, with mcr-9 found in sewage and mcr-3 in effluent and surface waters.
- * The isolates were multidrug-resistant, with whole genome sequencing revealing additional resistance genes, and indicating that mcr-9 may be circulating in humans, while also posing environmental risks.
Article Synopsis
- Certain Gram-negative rod species cause infections like gastroenteritis and bacteremia and are becoming resistant to treatment options like colistin.
- Colistin-resistant bacteria, especially those with the mobilized colistin resistance gene, pose significant risks in healthcare worldwide.
- A study found a highly colistin-resistant strain in a blood sample from Nepal with novel genes, highlighting the need for better drug use and global tracking of these bacteria.

Aeromonas jandaei is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in aquatic environments and can induce illnesses in amphibians, reptiles and aquatic animals. In this study, a strain of bacteria was isolated from the diseased Chinese soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis), then named strain JDP-FX. This isolate was identified as A.

Introduction: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are associated with a fulminating course because of their rapid destruction of tissue planes underlying the skin. -associated monomicrobial NSTIs are usually associated with exposure to fresh water, particularly among agricultural workers and fish handlers. Albeit uncommon in incidence, urgent medical and surgical intervention are required once a diagnosis has been made.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened from (red sea bass), and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated against two species isolated from the , namely, (AV) and (AJ). Three LAB isolates, MU8 (EF_8), MU2 (EFL_2), and MU9 (EFL_9), were found to inhibit both AV and AJ; however, their cell-free supernatant (CFS) did not do so. Interestingly, bacteriocin-like substances (BLS) induced by cocultures of EF_8 with AV exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity against both sp.
