Acinetobacter lwoffii is a gram negative aerobic non-fermenter bacilli. It is considered as an important emerging pathogen after Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with impaired immune system and in nosocomial infections. Here, we present a case of community acquired pyogenic liver Abscess caused by Acinetobacter lwoffii in a diabetic patient.

Article Synopsis
- - Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) can harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes, with the study isolating a multiantibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter lwoffii (N4) from sludge, showing high resistance to various antibiotics and metals.
- - The strain N4 displayed enhanced resistance when exposed to both antibiotics and heavy metals, suggesting a synergistic effect on its resilience against treatments.
- - Whole-genome sequencing revealed 23 antibiotic resistance genes, along with significant virulence factors, indicating N4's potential to be pathogenic and the risks associated with multidrug-resistant bacteria in wastewater systems.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to extract and identify probiotic bacteria from wild stinging catfish in Bangladesh using traditional and molecular techniques.
- Researchers collected catfish from natural sites, cultured bacteria from their guts, and tested 10 selected isolates for their probiotic potential through various pH and bile tolerance tests.
- Five specific bacterial isolates showed strong probiotic characteristics, indicating they could enhance aquaculture production for stinging catfish.

Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is an odor compound characterized by the lowest olfactory threshold and high toxicity. It is indispensable to explore the bacteria with high resistance and degradation efficiency to DMDS. Acinetobacter lwoffii, Pseudomonas mendocina, and Myroides odoratus were isolated from kitchen waste.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have become emerging environmental contaminants influenced by intricate regulatory factors. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on the evolution and distribution of ARGs over a full year in urban rivers, which serve as significant reservoirs of ARGs due to dynamic human activities. In this study, we conducted a 12-month metagenomic assembly to explore the microbial communities, ARGs, mobile genetic elements (MGEs) coexisting with ARGs, ARGs hosts, and the impact of environmental factors.
