Ochrobactrum anthropi is an emerging pathogen increasingly affecting the immunocompromised host. Only four cases of infective endocarditis have been documented in literature. Therapeutic approach is a rising challenge as it is resistant to most of the currently available beta lactam antibiotics with the exception of carbapenems. We report a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis secondary to Ochrobactrum anthropi infection; the host was temporarily immunocompromised due to disseminated herpes zoster after surgery.

Printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW) is characterized by various pollutants, making it one of the most difficult industrial wastewaters to treat and poses a serious threat to the natural environment and public health. This study investigated the use of an anaerobic-aerobic system combined with bioaugmentation using Ochrobactrum anthropi S1 to treat PDW. The results indicated that after three rounds of inoculation, Ochrobactrum anthropi S1 successfully colonized the system, achieving final removal efficiencies of reactive black 5, Cr(Ⅵ), COD, and ammonia nitrogen of 95 %, 65 %, 90 %, and 85 %, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Microbial evolution can occur in positive inter-species interactions, leading to different evolutionary outcomes.
- In a study, four microbe species were evolved in both monocultures and communities to see how they interacted under the presence of a toxic pollutant.
- After 44 weeks, some species evolved to rely on each other less and showed signs of resource specialization, contradicting the Black Queen Hypothesis which suggested they would develop stronger mutualistic relationships.
- Ultimately, the co-evolved community was less effective at degrading the pollutant compared to their ancestors, indicating that collaboration among species can lead to weaker interactions and hinder adaptation.
Bioremediation of polyaromatic hydrocarbon polluted sewage sludge soil employing a bacterial consortium and phytotoxicity evaluation.

A consortium of five distinct bacterial strains was evaluated for their ability to biodegrade multiple polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sewage sludge under microcosm studies. The presence of PAHs was determined from the sludge samples collected during pre- and post-monsoon seasons from three different wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Among the 16 PAHs found, the lowest concentration detected was 1.

Unlabelled: The article presents a study of the qualitative and quantitative structure of etiologically significant microorganisms received from patients with nosocomial sinusitis from intensive care units of multiprofile and infectious diseases hospitals.
Objective: To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative composition of the causative agents of nosocomial sinusitis and their sensitivity to antibacterial chemotherapy drugs in modern conditions.
Material And Methods: During the period 2022-2023, we selected 45 patients from 6 ICU based on a multidisciplinary hospital and 11 patients from the ICU based on an infectious profile hospital, who were diagnosed with nosocomial sinusitis based on anamnesis, clinical picture, and computed tomography results.
