“…It is a ubiquitous organism found in soil, water and foods with optimal growth temperature of 35 ±2°C. It has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans in hospital environments (Noble and Overman 1994). It is a gram negative saprophytic microorganism, which was earlier almost discarded as a plate contaminant, but for its unusual features, it has now been given special attention in clinical specimens.…”

In this study antibacterial activity of pomegranate peel (PPE) was evaluated against bacteria isolated from poultry meat. The bacteria were identified using 16S rRNA gene and DNA sequencing. Results of molecular characterization showed that the bacteria isolated were having 100% homology with the Pseudomonas stutzeri strain CTSP36 and further analysis showed that sample sequence clustered with the P. stutzeri strain CTSP36. Antibacterial activity of PPE was demonstrated by clear zone of inhibition in plates inoculated with extract. The diameter of inhibition zones were significantly (p<0.05) higher in PPE as compared to standard antibiotic discs used (tetracycline, vancomycin and streptomycin). Results of broth dilution assay also revealed that PPE at 1%, 5% and 10% were effective in inhibiting bacterial growth in test plates. Further, a decrease in the growth of bacterial cells and a gradual decline in protein content of bacterial cells were also observed when bacterial culture was grown with different concentration of PPE along with a control. These results showed the potential application of pomegranate peel extract as antibacterial agent against P. stutzeri.

Occurrence and antibiotic susceptibility of fish bacteria isolated from Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and Clarias gariepinus (African catfish) in Uganda

The intention of this study was to identify the bacterial pathogens infecting Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and Clarias gariepinus (African catfish), and to establish the antibiotic susceptibility of fish bacteria in Uganda. A total of 288 fish samples from 40 fish farms (ponds, cages, and tanks) and 8 wild water sites were aseptically collected and bacteria isolated from the head kidney, liver, brain and spleen. The isolates were identified by their morphological characteristics, conventional biochemical tests and Analytical Profile Index test kits. Antibiotic susceptibility of selected bacteria was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The following well-known fish pathogens were identified at a farm prevalence of; Aeromonas hydrophila (43.8%), Aeromonas sobria (20.8%), Edwardsiella tarda (8.3%), Flavobacterium spp. (4.2%) and Streptococcus spp. (6.3%). Other bacteria with varying significance as fish pathogens were also identified including Plesiomonas shigelloides (25.0%), Chryseobacterium indoligenes (12.5%), Pseudomonas fluorescens (10.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4.2%), Pseudomonas stutzeri (2.1%), Vibrio cholerae (10.4%), Proteus spp. (6.3%), Citrobacter spp. (4.2%), Klebsiella spp. (4.2%) Serratia marcescens (4.2%), Burkholderia cepacia (2.1%), Comamonas testosteroni (8.3%) and Ralstonia picketti (2.1%). Aeromonas spp., Edwardsiella tarda and Streptococcus spp. were commonly isolated from diseased fish. Aeromonas spp. (n = 82) and Plesiomonas shigelloides (n = 73) were evaluated for antibiotic susceptibility. All isolates tested were susceptible to at-least ten (10) of the fourteen antibiotics evaluated. High levels of resistance were however expressed by all isolates to penicillin, oxacillin and ampicillin. This observed resistance is most probably intrinsic to those bacteria, suggesting minimal levels of acquired antibiotic resistance in fish bacteria from the study area. To our knowledge, this is the first study to establish the occurrence of several bacteria species infecting fish; and to determine antibiotic susceptibility of fish bacteria in Uganda. The current study provides baseline information for future reference and fish disease management in the country.

Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transportThe ability of all living organisms to protect themselves against toxic substances is essential for their survival. Organisms acquire this ability through evolutionary force (1). Due to the development of scientific knowledge, more and more medical drugs are being developed and applied. As a consequence, general defense mechanisms to resist antibiotics, drugs, and other toxic compounds have been evolved in bacteria (2). Being one of those defense mechanisms, the active extrusion of the toxic compounds from the cells plays an important role (3). In bacteria, the extrusion is often carried out by multidrug transporters, which are integral membrane proteins. They are classified into five distinct families: ATP-binding cassette, multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE), 4 major facilitator superfamily, resistance nodulation division, and small multidrug resistance transporters (4).In 1999, the MATE family proteins were first recognized as a new group of the multidrug transporters, existing in all three domains of life (5). Most members of this family consist of a single chain of 450 -550 amino acid residues and exhibit 12 putative transmembrane helices (TMHs). Up to now, about 900 proteins have been annotated as MATE transporters on the basis of amino acid sequence similarities. Moreover, a subclassification of the MATE family has been suggested, NorM-, DinF-(DNA damage-inducible protein F), and eukaryotic subfamily (4, 6, 7). Various compounds can be recognized by NorM proteins, including dyes, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides (7). As secondary active transporters, MATE proteins utilize transmembrane Na ϩ or H ϩ electrochemical gradients to extrude toxic compounds.So far atomic structures of four MATE transporters have been reported in their putative outward-facing states, in both drug-bound and/or drug-free states. NorM_VC from Vibrio cholerae and NorM_NG from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, are both Na ϩ driven, whereas PfMATE from Pyrococcus furiosus and DinF-BH from Bacillus halodurans are published to be H ϩ -dependent antiporters (8 -11). All these four proteins contain 12 TMHs with intracellular N and C termini, and possess a hydrophobic internal cavity, formed by two symmetric bundles with 6 TMHs each. The two bundles are linked by a cytoplasmic loop between the 6th and 7th TMH. All MATE proteins share about 40% sequence similarity, and they employ the same rockerswitch mechanism for substrate extrusion (12). In addition, the crystal structures have also revealed different locations of cationand substrate-binding sites, suggesting a mechanistic diversity among MATE transporters. In the structure of drug-bound NorM_NG, the binding site is located close to the membraneperiplasm interface, whereas in the structure of PfMATE, the
