A 3-year-old girl with acute myeloid leukemia underwent unrelated cord blood stem cell transplantation (UCBT) due to primary induction failure. Fourteen days after UCBT, she developed central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infection due to Chryseobacterium indologenes. Despite ciprofloxacin and minocycline being administered according to the results of susceptibility, a high grade fever recurred. Therefore, the CVC was removed 21 days after UCBT and symptoms related to CVC infection improved. Although C. indologenes is widely distributed in nature, it is a rare pathogen in humans. Most cases of C. indologenes bacteremia have been found in immunocompromised patients with malignancies and diabetes mellitus. C. indologenes exhibits specific characteristics, including the progression of resistance to antibiotics and the formation of a biofilm. Therefore, removal of the CVC appears to be the most reasonable treatment for CVC infection due to C. indologenes in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation if clinical symptoms do not improve after appropriate antibiotic therapy.

This study aimed to identify and characterize actinobacteria and rhizobia with plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits from chickpea plants. Out of 275 isolated bacteria, 25 actinobacteria and 5 chickpea rhizobia showed 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCd) activity. Selected chickpea rhizobia were tested for their nodulating capacity under sterile and non-sterile soil conditions.

The increasing rate of carbapenem-resistant bacteria within healthcare environments is an issue of great concern that needs urgent attention. This resistance is driven by metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which can catalyse the hydrolysis of almost all clinically available β-lactams and are resistant to all the clinically utilized β-lactamase inhibitors. In this study, an uncharacterized MBL is identified in a multidrug resistant isolate of the opportunistic pathogen, Chryseobacterium indologenes.

With the increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial phytopathogens, phage therapy has been garnered renewed attention in treating pathogenic bacteria. However, the therapeutic potential of phage therapy on root rot of has not been evaluated.
