“…Hafnia alvei belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and is related to uncommon infections. It is considered an opportunistic pathogen that causes invasive infections in debilitated elderly with underlying diseases (Baral et al, 2018). Baral et al (2018) reported a case of bacteremia caused by Hafnia alvei resulting in bronchopneumonia in an 11-month-old child.…”

Psychrotrophic bacteria in Brazilian organic dairy products: identification, production of deteriorating enzymes and biofilm formation

et al. 2021

The psychrotrophic bacteria count and the profile of Gram-negative bacteria present in commercial Brazilian organic dairy products (27 samples, pasteurized whole milk, Minas Frescal cheese, and yoghurt, equally distributed) as well as the biofilmproducing capacity and the production of deteriorating enzymes were investigated. Most of the samples (59%) presented psychrotrophic bacteria counts higher than 4 log CFU/g, indicating problems in the microbiological quality of the products. The identification of Gram-negative bacteria revealed the presence of micro-organisms that can be potentially harmful (39.4% Acinetobacter baumanii/calcoaceticus, 23.2% Burkoderia pseudomallei, 10.1% Halfnia alvei) and/or deteriorating microorganisms (6.1% Pseudomonas aeruginosa) with the capacity of producing proteases (36.4%), lecithinases (41.4%), and lipases (4%). Roughly, 68.7% of micro-organisms were non-producers of biofilms, 28.3% were medium biofilm producers, and 3.0% were high biofilm producers. The findings suggest there are problems related to the good practices of obtaining organic milk and in the manufacture of dairy products.

“…This bacterium is widely distributed in water, soil and food and is also part of the normal intestinal microbiota of mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, fish, invertebrates and insects (15,30,31). In humans, it is described as an unusual opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial (18) or community infections (32,33). This bacterium is not a common pathogen in animals (15), although it has been isolated in some cases (18)(19)(20)34), but never has been isolated from a pyometra.…”

We report the case of a 9-year-old female Labrador retriever, presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital with a history of bloody/purulent and malodourous vulvar discharge, decreased appetite and progressive abdominal enlargement for about 20 days. Clinical examination showed a distended and painful abdomen and tympanic sounds on percussion. The patient also presented systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and a leukemoid reaction with leukocyte count of 77.9 x 10 9 /L due to 62.32 x 10 9 /L lymphocytes. The abdominal radiography showed distended tubular structures occupying most of the abdomen; dorsal displacement of the colon in the left-right lateral projection was also found. The ultrasonographic study also revealed tubular structures in the mid-abdomen that contained flowing fluid presenting mixed echogenicity and hyperechoic particles in suspension. The exploratory celiotomy showed that the uterine horns were distended and contained a mixture of gas and liquid, hence an ovariohysterectomy was performed. The uterine fluid was collected with aseptic technique into a syringe and submitted to the clinical pathology laboratory for aerobic and anaerobic culture and antibiotic sensitivity. Hafnia alvei (now classified as Hafnia paralvei) was identified as the causative bacterial agent. Pyometra caused by gas-producing bacteria is a rare condition and is known as emphysematous pyometra. There are only six reports in the literature of this condition in bitches. A wide range of vaginal bacteria has been found in dogs with pyometra, but to our knowledge this is the first report of emphysematous pyometra caused by Hafnia paralvei in dogs.

“…Their etiology varies with age and geography. Infrequent bowel movements and difficulty doi:10.31674/mjn.2023.v15i02.012 passing stool, along with neurological issues and common waterborne infections like diarrhoea, polio, and meningitis, are associated with the waterborne pathogen H. alvei, with the gastrointestinal tract being the main portal of entry for bacteremia and subsequent meningitis (Nayak et al, 2018;Hossain, Ali, & Islam, 2021). The fatality rate depends on age and the bacterium in question, typically ranging from 3% to 19% in developed countries (Ministry of Health, Morocco, 2010).…”

Background: Meningitis is a public health medical emergency. It is a health problem in Morocco. Aim: This study was to determine the epidemiological, cytochemical, and bacteriological profile of this disease and the lethality by type of meningitis in patient children in the Northwest region of Morocco. Methods: The present investigation is a cross-epidemiological, cytochemical, and bacteriological study of meningitis. The target population was cases of all forms of meningitis recorded in children under the age of 15 hospitalized in the pediatric department of Al Idrissi Hospital during the period (2018–2021). Data were collected from meningitis declaration forms. Results: About 100 cases were included in the study, with an average cumulative incidence of all forms of meningitis during the study period of 24.34 per 100,000 children living in the province of Kenitra. There was a male predominance in all types of meningitis, with 68% males in total. In addition, (22%) infants aged <1 year. Fevers, neck stiffness, purpura, and photophobia were significantly associated with meningitis in infants (1 to 15 years) (p<0.05). The febrile meningeal syndrome was observed in 57% of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and was cloudy in 50.5% of cases. The median leukocyte count was 280 mm3. Mean glycorachia was 0.47 g/l (±0.23 g/l) and mean proteinorachia was 1.23 g/l (±1.35 g/l). Bacterial meningitis was the most common type of meningitis observed, followed by the occurrence of lymphocytic meningitis and confirmed meningococcal disease. Overall, an 11% mortality rate was found. Conclusion: Meningitis is a real health problem in the area of Kenitra, particularly in children, requiring the effective involvement of all health personnel and the community in control actions, the allocation of necessary resources, and regular monitoring of the measures taken.
