Published: February 2010

Thirty-six pathogenetic bacterial strains were isolated from wilted mulberry plants in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province of China. The six representative strains were confirmed to be involved in more than one Enterobacter species by common bacteriological test, electron microscope observation, hypersensitive reaction, Koch's postulates, physiological and biochemical test, biology, fatty acid methyl esters analysis (FAMEs), enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR (ERIC-PCR), 16s rRNA sequences analysis, and comparative analysis with 7 type strains and 3 reference strains. This is the first report on mulberry disease caused by Enterobacter spp. in the world providing new evidence on induction of the plant disease in this genus. The results are not only important in the mulberry disease management but also have significant scientific value for further studies of opportunistic human pathogens and environmental strains in Enterobacter.

Substances of organic origin are seeing increasing use in agriculture as rich sources of nutrients for plants. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological contamination of sewage sludge and digestate to assess their safe use as fertilizers in Poland. The assessment of microbial soil, sewage sludge and digestate contamination was based on the total number of mesophilic bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria from the family.

Background: Meropenem-vaborbactam (MEM-VAB) is a novel carbapenem-beta-lactamase-inhibitor combination that demonstrates activity against carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacteria, and more specifically KPC-producers, since vaborbactam is an effective inhibitor of KPC enzymes in vitro. This study aimed to describe the initial uses and efficacy of MEM-VAB for compassionate treatment during the first 21 months following its early access in France.

Method: A national multicenter retrospective study was conducted, including all patients who received at least one dose of MEM-VAB between 20 July 2020, and 5 April 2022.

The increasing occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing , most commonly , has become a serious problem. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in dairy cattle, goat and sheep farms located in southern Türkiye. Samples (409 quarter milk samples and 110 fresh faecal samples from cattle, 75 bulk tank milk samples and 225 rectal swab samples from goats and sheep) were subjected to selective isolation on MacConkey agar with ceftazidime (2 µg/mL).

Background: Antimicrobial resistance and difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) in ESKAPE pathogens ( and species) is a threat to human health. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and DTR rates in ESKAPE pathogens over six years in a third-level hospital from Monterrey, Mexico.

Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined by either disk diffusion or broth microdilution in strains from 2018 to 2023.
