A soft tissue infection caused by Kluyvera species in a previously healthy woman is described. Successful treatment required incision and drainage of the wound in addition to administration of antibiotics. Kluyvera species are indole positive, Voges-Proskauer negative members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Previous reports of infection due to Kluyvera species suggest that the organism is never more than an opportunistic pathogen; however, we report the first case of infection in a previously healthy host.

Background: Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) is a distructive quarantine insect pest that causes significant economic losses on cucurbit crops. To explore a green control approach, we investigated the behavioral responses of B. cucurbitae larvae and adults to bacterial suspensions, sediments, and supernatants derived from eight gut microbial strains across four distinct genera.

Objectives: KLUC β-lactamase is a minor extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) derived from chromosome-encoded cefotaximase in Kluyvera cryocrescens. This study aimed to characterize the genetic context of KLUC-3-producing Escherichia coli and bla-harboring plasmids and assess nosocomial transmission.
Methods: In a national genomic surveillance conducted in 2019 and 2020, KLUC-3-producing E.

Water pollution is the biggest challenge that has rendered existing water resources unusable due to contamination with antibiotics and heavy metals. Antibiotics are often used to treat bacterial diseases. Heavy metals, on the other hand, are micro-pollutants that pose a threat to aquatic systems, especially when they accumulate in nature.

Wastewater serves as a reservoir for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study revealed the presence of carbapenem-resistant and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), established clonal relationships among isolates in hospital and municipal wastewater, and identified a high-risk clone in municipal wastewater. A total of 63 isolates of GNB were obtained, with Enterobacterales being the most frequently isolated group (62%).
