Infections Caused by Antimicrobial Drug-Resistant Saprophytic Gram-Negative Bacteria in the Environment

Abstract: BackgroundDrug-resistance genes found in human bacterial pathogens are increasingly recognized in saprophytic Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) from environmental sources. The clinical implication of such environmental GNBs is unknown.ObjectivesWe conducted a systematic review to determine how often such saprophytic GNBs cause human infections.MethodsWe queried PubMed for articles published in English, Spanish, and French between January 2006 and July 2014 for 20 common environmental saprophytic GNB species, using … Show more

“…This genus is responsible for strawberry disease and septicaemia in some fish species [ 42 ]. P. putida and P. stutzeri are also opportunistic pathogens in humans and were already associated with bacteraemia, endocarditis, keratitis, meningitis, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections and urinary tract infections [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Kocuria spp.…”

“…It should be noted that the highest average number of antibiotic resistances was shown by Enterobacter amnigenus (4.75 ± 0.50) and E. coli (3.95 ± 2.46). This fact is a matter of concern because both bacterial species are frequent human pathogens [37,39]. By contrast, Serratia plymuthica (0.00 ± 0.00), Citrobacter freundii (1.00 ± 0.00), and Providencia alcalifaciens (1.00 ± 1.41) had the lowest number of antibiotic resistances (Table 1).…”
