“…We report a first case in which P. sanguinis was isolated from human blood in Korea. In the six previously reported cases, we didn't detailed review for first reported case and the other three cases due to a lack of information in the literature [11] and two cases with meningitis were described as a probable infection [13] or a definite infection [12]. These cases were confirmed as a single organism with P. sanguinis infection by using molecular methods, and were treated with antibiotics.…”

“…These cases were confirmed as a single organism with P. sanguinis infection by using molecular methods, and were treated with antibiotics. Only one patient [12], antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed, which was susceptible to amoxicillin, ticarcillin, cefepime, ceftazidime, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Therefore, amoxicillin treatment with 4g three times per day was continued until the patient had received 15 days of antimicrobial therapy.…”

Psychrobacter sanguinis has been described as a Gram-negative, aerobic coccobacilli originally isolated from environments and seaweed samples. To date, 6 cases of P. sanguinis infection have been reported. A 53-year-old male was admitted with a generalized tonic seizure lasting for 1 minute with loss of consciousness and a mild fever of 37.8 o C. A Gram stain revealed Gram-negative, small, and coccobacillishaped bacteria on blood culture. Automated microbiology analyzer identification using the BD BACTEC FX (BD Diagnostics, Germany) and VITEK2 (bioMérieux, France) systems indicated the presence of Methylobacterium spp., Aeromonas salmonicida, and the Moraxella group with low discrimination. The GenBank Basic Local Alignment Search Tool and an Ez-Taxon database search revealed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate showed 99.30% and 99.88% homology to 859 base-pairs of the corresponding sequences of P. sanguinis, respectively (GenBank accession numbers JX501674.1 and HM212667.1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first human case of P. sanguinis bacteremia in Korea. It is notable that we identified a case based on blood specimens that previously had been misidentified by a commercially automated identification analyzer. We utilized 16S rRNA gene sequencing as a secondary method for correctly identifying this microorganism.

This chapter covers the organisms which belong to a group of taxonomically and phylogenetically diverse, Gram‐negative, non‐fermentative rods and coccobacilli. Most of the organisms are found in the environment, that is, soil and water. For each group of closely related species, the chapter presents their taxonomic history, addresses the clinical importance of the species, and describes the phenotypic data that are useful to differentiate this group from other groups and to differentiate the species within this group. It discusses antibiotic susceptibility characteristics and treatment options. Decisions regarding the significance of GNF in a clinical specimen must consider the clinical condition of the patient and the source of the specimen submitted for culture. Identification of GNF may be important to document health care‐related outbreaks linked to hospital environments or medical devices.

Red meat and dairy products have frequently been suggested to represent risk factors for certain cancers, chronic neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune and cardiovascular disorders. This review summarizes the evidence and investigates the possible involvement of infectious factors in these diseases. The isolation of small circular single-stranded DNA molecules from serum and dairy products of Eurasian Aurochs (Bos taurus)-derived cattle, obviously persisting as episomes in infected cells, provides the basis for further investigations. Gene expression of these agents in human cells has been demonstrated, and frequent infection of humans is implicated by the detection of antibodies in a high percentage of healthy individuals. Epidemiological observations suggest their relationship to the development multiple sclerosis, to heterophile antibodies, and to N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) containing cell surface receptors.
