Serratia liquefaciens is a rarely encountered gram-negative organism in ophthalmology practice. The only reported ocular infections are from contamination of contact lenses. The authors report the first case of a patient who developed orbital cellulitis secondary to severe S. liquefaciens microbial keratitis.

Sustainable agriculture is increasingly emphasized, focusing on microorganisms' role in maintaining soil fertility and inhibiting plant pathogens. Seeking novel sources of plant-beneficial bacteria, our study explores insects due to their established associations with plants and bacteria. The insect gut, hosting various bacteria, may hold microbes protecting against fungal infections, particularly plant pathogens.

In the present study, nine Enterobacteriaceae species present in wastewater were isolated and identified, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was developed for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae by designing primers based on the mcr-1, KPC, OXA-23, and VIM genes, which are recognized markers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission during microalgal bioremediation treatment. The developed assays successfully detected four strains positive for mcr-1 gene-asociated resistance (, , , and ), three strains for KPC gene-associated resistance ( sp., 15499, and ), seven strains for OXA-23 gene-associated resistance (, , , 15922, 51446, , and ), and three strains for resistance to the VIM gene-associated resistance (, sp.

Biofilms may contain pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and can become a recurring problem in the dairy sector, with a negative impact on product quality and consumer health. Peracetic acid (PAA) is one of the disinfectants most frequently used to control biofilm formation and persistence. Though effective, it cannot be used at high concentrations due to its corrosive effect on certain materials and because of toxicity concerns.

Article Synopsis
- Herbaspirillum spp. is a bacterium typically found in environments like soil and water, and is rarely linked to infections, especially in healthy individuals.
- A 57-year-old male with no neutropenia experienced symptoms like fever and malaise after undergoing home dialysis, leading to the discovery of Herbaspirillum huttiense in his blood cultures.
- After treating him with various antibiotics and removing his central line, he recovered without complications, raising the significance of this rare infection in a non-neutropenic dialysis patient.
