Published: April 2016

We encountered 2 immunocompromised children complicated by Raoultella ornithinolytica bacteremia. One had received methylprednisolone pulse therapy for IgA nephropathy, and the other had leukopenia because of chemotherapy for leukemia. Both children had no specific symptoms, and R. ornithinolytica bacteremia was identified by routine blood culture. Both patients were successfully treated with antibiotic treatment.

Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates are associated with significant mortality and have emerged as a major problem in healthcare settings worldwide.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the epidemiological and genotypic characteristics of carbapenemase-positive Enterobacterales isolates from patients hospitalised in three hospitals in the city of Batna, Algeria.

Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 5,316 clinical isolates were obtained.

The utilization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) holds great promise for the restoration of damaged terrestrial plant ecosystems. However, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the application of PGPR in rehabilitating aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we conducted a mesocosm experiment to investigate the effects of Raoultella ornithinolytica F65, Pantoea cypripedii G84, Klebsiella variicola G85, Novosphingobium profundi G86, and Klebsiella pneumoniae I109 on eelgrass (Zostera marina L.

Characterization of simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by novel Raoultella ornithinolytica strain YX-4 and application in real farm wastewater treatment.

Bioresour Technol

October 2023

The Key Laboratory of Industrial Biotechnology, Ministry of Education, School of Biotechnology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, PR China.

Article Synopsis
  • A new strain of bacteria, Raoultella ornithinolytica YX-4, was found in pig farm wastewater and can effectively remove ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, and phosphorus.
  • The strain exhibits pathways for heterotrophic nitrification, aerobic denitrification, and phosphorus accumulation, achieving removal rates of 99%, 97%, and 93% for ammonia and nitrate/nitrite, respectively, under optimal conditions.
  • This study is the first to report on the denitrification capabilities of R. ornithinolytica and emphasizes the expression of key enzyme genes related to wastewater treatment efficiency.
