“…Most Aeromonas infections are seen in people with cancer, cirrhosis or subjects with immunodeficiency, although there are reports of serious infections with this Gram-negative bacillus in immunocompetent individuals [3,5]. In this patient, the most important risk factor was cardiac valve dysfunction due to rheumatic fever, which was also reported in Bora et.al report in 2016, although the reported patient had no evidence of endocarditis [9]. In four other reports, there have been several underlying diseases that have not been documented, but it can be said that almost all of the reported cases had at least one underlying disease (Table 2).…”

“…A. salmonicida belongs to the genus Aeromonas , a common source of furunculosis and septicemia in fish especially salmonids cold- blooded vertebrates, especially salmonid fish, [9]. The true prevalence of this Gram-negative bacillus around the world is unknown, because in many countries, there are no proper isolation techniques, and positive cases are not accurately diagnosed [5].…”

“…exist and for this reason ceftriaxone before the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing and then, due to microorganism susceptibility test and proper clinical response, ceftriaxone continued [3]. There is a report of resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline in a patient with A. salmonicida septicemia [9]. In a report by Moore et al, the use of broad- spectrum cephalosporins has been recommended for treatment of A. salmonicida infections, while Aeromonas isolated from this patient had intermediate resistance to cefazolin [6].…”

Aeromonas salmonicida (A. salmonicida) is a facultative Gram-negative bacillus, inhabiting in water. It is a common source of furunculosis and septicemia in fish. Report on the human infection with this organism is rare. A male farmer referred with weakness and intermittent fever. He had cardiac valves’ regurgitation due to fever with rheumatic heart disease. He had a history of swimming in well water. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a mobile mass of 1.3 × 0.9 cm attached to the mitral valve chordae, suggestive of a vegetation. Aeromonas salmonicida was isolated from the blood. After cardiac surgery and taking ceftriaxone for 4 weeks, he was discharged in good general condition. Five previous case reports of human infection with this organism were found. The patient was the sixth human case, and the first endocarditis, reported with this organism. A. salmonicida is a rare agent for human infection. Contact with water is a risk factor for this type of infection. It seems that the use of modern diagnostic methods has been effective in identifying the microorganism.

“…Earlier Aeromonas was considered as opportunistic infection and was found mainly in immunocompromised host. Few cases of endophthalmitis, endocarditis, and blood stream infection have been recently reported [16][17][18]. Now, it is considered as a primary pathogen for human [19].…”

Aeromonas salmonicida is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium. It mainly found in aquatic ecosystem. It is most common pathogen in salmonids. Reported infections due to A. salmonicida in humans are very rare. A 5-year-old child admitted with fever since more than a week and loose motions. The blood culture showed growth of A. salmonicida. The child responded well to intravenous antibiotics and discharged after 5 days of admission. A. salmonicida is a rare but potential pathogen for human infections. Modern diagnostic methods are being effective in diagnosing it and empirical antibiotics (Cephalosporin) are helpful in treating it.

Influence of pulsing and wet cold storage on the vase water microbial profiles and overall quality of cut gladioli

Occlusion of the stem vasculature by microorganisms that proliferate in the vase water, or the plant vessels, leads to water stress symptoms that reduce postharvest quality of cut flowers. This study aimed to determine the effects of pulsing and wet-cold storage on the microbial profiles in cut Gladiolus grandiflorus L. cv. Fado. Pulsing treatments of 600-ppm 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate plus 5% sucrose solution versus distilled water were administered before wet cold storage periods of 0-5 days in cut Gladiolus, previously grown from corms under open field. A two-by-six factorial experiment embedded in a completely randomized design with four replicates was accomplished. Proc GLM in two-way Anova was adopted, and the means were separated using Tukey’s test at a 5% level of significance. The pulsing treatment of 600 ppm 8-HQS plus 5% sucrose, the wet cold storage duration and their interactive effects significantly (P˂0.0209; ˂0.0001 and ˂0.0001 respectively) affected the means of the colony-forming units in the vase water of cut Gladiolus at senescence. The prolonged vase life of cut gladioli spikes was associated with decreased microbial proliferation as influenced by pulsing and wet storage duration of up to 4 days. Data generated from this study will improve existing technologies related to the quality and market value of this Gladiolus cultivar.
