Summary Conventional wastewater treatment relies on a complex microbiota; however, much of this community is still to be characterized. To better understand the origin, dynamics and fate of bacteria within a wastewater treatment plant: untreated primary wastewater, activated sludge and post‐treatment effluent were characterized. From 3163 exact sequence variants (ESVs), 860 were annotated to species‐level. In primary wastewater, 28% of ESVs were putative bacterial species previously associated with humans, 14% with animals and 5% as common to the environment. Differential abundance analysis revealed significant relative reductions in ESVs from potentially human‐associated species from primary wastewater to activated sludge, and significant increases in ESVs from species associated with nutrient cycling. Between primary wastewater and effluent, 51% of ESVs from human‐associated species did not significantly differ, and species such as Bacteroides massiliensis and Bacteroides dorei increased. These findings illustrate that activated sludge increased extracellular protease and urease‐producing species, ammonia and nitrite oxidizers, denitrifiers and specific phosphorus accumulators. Although many human‐associated species declined, some persisted in effluent, including strains of potential health or environmental concern. Species‐level microbial assessment may be useful for understanding variation in wastewater treatment efficiency as well as for monitoring the release of microbes into surface water and the wider ecosystem.

“…We report a case of extensive subclinical sinusitis leading to erosion in the cribriform plate with subsequent meningitis caused by the organism Moraxella osloensis . To our knowledge there are only seven previously reported cases of meningitis caused by Moraxella osloensis : one case from the Netherlands [5] ; one from Scandinavia [6] ; two from Germany [7] , [8] and three cases from Korea [9] . Two of these cases had predisposing factors, one patient with a CSF shunt in situ, and one with C8 compliment deficiency, while the remaining cases were in immunocompetent individuals.…”

We report a case of a 31 year old male with extensive subclinical sinusitis leading to erosion in the cribriform plate and subsequent meningitis caused by the organism Moraxella osloensis. The patient presented to the emergency department with rapid onset confusion, neck stiffness and headache. Inflammatory markers, renal and liver function, and a chest radiograph were all normal. CT Head showed extensive polyp disease in the paranasal sinuses with expansion of the left frontal sinus and CT Sinuses revealed an area of low attenuation in the cribriform plate consistent with bony erosion. MRI Head showed thick loculated sinus inflammation. Lumbar puncture yielded CSF with a high white cell count of predominantly mononuclear cells, no visible organisms and an elevated protein. CSF microscopy, culture and viral PCR were not diagnostic, and so the CSF was sent for 16S rDNA PCR screening, which identified the rDNA of Moraxella osloensis. Moraxella osloensis is a rare cause of bacterial meningitis, with only a few reported cases. This case illustrates that sinusitis, while a common condition, when severe can predispose to intracranial infection with atypical and low virulence organisms such as Moraxella species, which do not commonly cause invasive CNS disease. This case represents the first case of Moraxella osloensis meningitis reported from the United Kingdom.

Only little is known about soft tissue, bone or joint infections caused by Moraxella spp. A case of panaritium ossale et articulare caused by Moraxella nonliquefaciens in an 80-year-old patient immunocompromised by diabetes mellitus and liver insufficiency is reported here. Surgery, local antiseptic treatment, and therapy with aminopenicillins plus beta-lactamase-inhibitors led to complete cure of the infection within 10 days.
