“…Table 1 summarizes its biochemical characteristics. Six different species from Tatumella genus have been described: T. ptyseos and T. saanichensis recovered from humans; T. citrea, T. punctata, T. terrae , and T. morbirosei originally recovered from fruit [ 5 ], with T. ptyseos identified as a causative agent of pink disease in pineapple, contrary to popular beliefs that Pantoea citrea was the cause [ 6 ]. T. ptyseos and T. citrea are known to cause infections in humans [ 5 ].…”

“…T. ptyseos has been reported to be associated with severe neonatal sepsis especially in children being fed with contaminated powdered infant formula milk [ 3 ]. All over the world, confirmed human infections with T. ptyseos are very rare, with less than 10 cases reported [ 5 ]. Two severe cases of T. ptyseos human infection in an adult and in an elderly have been reported in Brazil, a case report in an adult in Switzerland, a case report in an adult in Turkey and in a 6-day old in Malaysia [ 1 , 5 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Tatumella ptyseos septicaemia in humans is yet to be reported in Nigeria with very few cases reported worldwide. This case report describes the clinical and distinctive biochemical characteristics of Tatumella ptyseos, its antibiotic sensitivity pattern and risk factors associated with Tatumella ptyseos septicaemia. Our case is a 2 months old ex-premature female from Calabar, admitted in the month of May, 2018 into the Children´s Emergency Room, of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. She presented with cough of one month and fever of three weeks, and was found to be acutely ill looking, febrile with temperature of 38.6°C, mildly pale, dyspnoeic and tachypnoeic with SPO 2 of 80% in room air, tender hepatomegaly of 6cm and a splenomegaly of 6cm. Blood culture yielded Gram negative rods identified as Tatumella ptyseos by OXOID MICROBACT™ GNB identification kit.

Ecotin: A versatile protease inhibitor of bacteria and eukaryotes

Serine protease inhibitors are a large family of proteins involved in important pathways and processes, such as inflammatory responses and blood clotting. Most are characterized by a precise mode of action, thereby targeting a narrow range of protease substrates. However, the serine-protease inhibitor ecotin is able to inhibit a broad range of serine proteases that display a wide range of specificities. This specificity is driven by special structural features which allow unique flexibility upon binding to targets. Although frequently observed in many human/animal-associated bacteria, ecotin homologs may also be found in plant-associated taxa and environmental species. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the biological importance, role in host–microbe interactions, and evolutionary relationship between ecotin orthologs isolated from Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic species across the Tree of Life.
