Citrobacter koseri (C. koseri) can lead to severe infections in the neonates, elderly and immunocompromised patients. We describe the first reported case of an axillary abscess due to C. koseri in a healthy adolescent, and review the clinical aspects and associated risk factors of this rare condition.

Genes encoding OXA-48-like carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes are often located on plasmids and are abundant among carbapenemase-producing (CPE) worldwide. After a large plasmid-mediated outbreak in 2011, routine screening of patients at risk of CPE carriage on admission and every 7 days during hospitalization was implemented in a large hospital in the Netherlands. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of the hospitals' 2011 outbreak-associated plasmid among CPE collected from 2011 to 2021.

The human respiratory tract is colonized by a complex microbial community that helps maintain respiratory health and plays a crucial role in defending the host from infections. Respiratory viruses have been demonstrated to alter microbiota composition, resulting in opportunistic species expansion, and increasing the disease severity and host susceptibility to bacterial co-infections. This study aims to examine the compositional differences in the nasal microbiota between SARS-CoV-2-infected and non-infected patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated antibiotic resistance in bacteria from three wastewater treatment plants (WTP) to understand how they contribute to the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR).
- Water samples were analyzed for antibiotic residues, and 88 Gram-negative bacilli were tested for resistance to 18 beta-lactam antibiotics, using advanced methods like HPLC and the VITEK-2 system.
- Results showed that natural lagoons had the highest levels of ESBL-producing bacteria, with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the most common isolate, indicating that these environments could facilitate the development of antibiotic resistance.

A 44-year-old healthy Caucasian gentleman presented with fevers and right lower quadrant pain. He had mildly elevated inflammatory markers and computed tomography demonstrated cystic enlargement of the right seminal vesicle concerning for seminal vesicle abscess (SVA). SVA is a rare diagnosis and generally requires drainage for adequate source control.

Citrobacter koseri causes infection in people who are immunocompromised. Without effective antibiotics, these infections can become severe and life-threatening, so effective drugs are essential to treat these infections. Utilizing subtractive genomics, 2699 ORFs were predicted and translated into amino acid sequences.
