“…However, soft tissue infections present various clinical manifestations, among which we can nd ulcers, gastrointestinal symptoms, cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infection, often preceded by chronic ulceration, trauma, burns, and/or exposure to a uvial body; symptoms of infection appear 1 to 5 days after initial contact with the bacteria; These may also include fever, asthenia, adynamia, and constitutional symptoms associated with infections. (1,2,12,14,18,(21)(22)(23) In the latest published studies on the new family Shewanellaceae, it has been described that 40% of the cases involve pure cultures of Shewanella, mainly associated with infection of the skin and soft tissues, associated with skin breaks such as ulcers or after trauma, as well as benign bacteremia only described in 2 studies; one of which was associated with severe hepatobiliary disease and malignancy with an often-fulminant course. However, the existing infection by Shewanella spp in clinical samples is S. putrefaciens and S. algae, of which more than 80% of human isolates are due to S. algae.…”

“…In this study, no cases were reported in Colombia, however, when doing a review of the literature, two isolated cases were found in Colombia, none of which occurred in the pediatric population. (3,11,12) Therefore, we present the clinical case of a pediatric patient with septic monoarthritis of the left knee, infectious by S. Putrefaciens, acquired in the community, in its natural environment.…”

Shewanella putrefaciens is a Gram-negative bacillus and marine pathogen that rarely causes disease in humans. We present the case of a previously healthy pediatric patient with a sharp wound and septic monoarthritis of the left knee due to Shewanella putrefaciens, we describe the bacteriological, and clinical characteristics and antibiogram of this bacteria spp since resistance patterns must be taken into account when managing patients, so as not to induce intrinsic antimicrobial resistance.

A Review of a Decade of Local Projects, Studies and Initiatives of Atypical Influxes of Pelagic Sargassum on Mexican Caribbean Coasts

et al. 2022

This study collates and reviews the state of the art in the phenomenon of atypical pelagic Sargassum influxes in the coastline of the Mexican Caribbean, focusing on projects, studies and initiatives that have been conducted in the country for a decade. We integrated multisectoral and multidisciplinary knowledge and identified gaps and strengths in current knowledge. Initiatives and projects conducted in Mexico are numerous, diverse and valuable. However, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research and interinstitutional coordinated actions in the medium- and long-term are still lacking. Because of this, there is an imbalance of actions in different knowledge areas that prevents this phenomenon from being addressed in a comprehensive way. Furthermore, the funding opportunities for Sargassum research projects and other initiatives seem to respond to the events of massive influxes, without continuity or long-term planning. Attention is mainly focused on urban and touristic areas, so impacts to rural or uninhabited zones are unknown. This review represents a stepping-stone towards an integrated multisectoral effort to shift the perspective from Sargassum being a “national problem” to a “national resource,” considering and fully understanding the ecological importance of this macroalgae as a floating ecosystem and its potential as an economic resource once it massively arrives in Mexican coastal areas.

Background Shewanella putrefaciens is a gram-negative, non-fermenting, oxidase-positive, hydrogen sulfate-producing bacillus, a halophilic bacterium. Responsible for unusual infections in humans; considering itself an opportunistic germ in many patients. With varied symptoms in the literature, generating a significant impact on human health with a total of 260 disorders described in the literature in the last 40 years, which indicates the potential danger it represents. Case presentation: We present the case of a previously healthy 15-year-old male patient with a self-inflicted sharp-object injury while doing fieldwork and a secondary septic monoarthritis due to Shewanella putrefaciens. Conclusions We describe the bacteriological, and clinical characteristics and antibiogram of this bacteria spp since in recent years there has been an increase in notifications of Shewanella infections, mainly by S. algae and S. putrefaciens; which leads us to keep it in mind in patients whose clinical history shows evidence of contact with bodies of water due to the special resistance patterns that must be taken into account when managing these patients, so as not to induce intrinsic antimicrobial resistance.
