Hafnia alvei is an infrequently reported pathogen in children, and its isolation in a newborn is even more unusual. This organism is rarely associated with invasive disease. This article reports the first case of a neonate with necrotizing enterocolitis and subsequent ileal perforation who had H. alvei isolated from both blood and stool.

Article Synopsis
- * EPS715 is mainly composed of rhamnose, glucose, and mannose with a molecular weight of 47.87 kDa and has an amorphous structure, showing effective scavenging abilities against various free radicals like ABTS and DPPH.
- * The study highlights EPS715's ability to disperse biofilms of several pathogens, achieving up to 78.17% inhibition, suggesting its potential use in food and medicinal products to combat bacterial infections.

Background And Objective: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are some of the most encountered infections in clinical practice, exhibiting increasing antimicrobial resistance. Bacterial species identification and antimicrobial resistance testing at point of care (POCT) could improve adequate initial antibiotic therapy and antimicrobial stewardship. In this work, the Vivalytic UTI test, which represents a qualitative PCR-based microarray test, able to detect specific uropathogenic bacteria and associated antimicrobial resistance genes was evaluated at POCT.

Article Synopsis
- - Hafnia alvei is identified as a spoilage microorganism that utilizes a quorum sensing (QS) system to influence food spoilage, specifically through the production of biogenic amines (BAs) like putrescine and cadaverine in fish.
- - The study revealed that deleting the luxI gene, part of the QS system, decreased the production of these harmful compounds, indicating the gene's significant role in BA formation.
- - Experimental data showed that the formation of putrescine in H. alvei H4 occurs mainly through the arginine deiminase pathway, with luxI directly interacting with certain genes to enhance this process.
