| skin and soft-tissue manifestations of shewanella putrefaciens infection. | shewanella putrefaciens, a saprophytic gram-negative rod, is infrequently recovered from clinical specimens. although a number of clinical syndromes have been attributed to s. putrefaciens, the pathogenic role of this agent remains largely undefined. we report 16 cases of s. putrefaciens infection that occurred at the veterans general hospital-kaohsiung in taiwan between 1990 and 1995. s. putrefaciens infection was associated with a wide clinical spectrum including bacteremia/septicemia, skin an ... | 1997 | 9332516 |
| polymicrobial bacteremia caused by escherichia coli, edwardsiella tarda, and shewanella putrefaciens. | edwardsiella tarda, a member of enterobacteriaceae, is found in freshwater and marine environments and in animals living in these environments. this bacterium is primarily associated with gastrointestinal diseases, and has been isolated from stool specimens obtained from persons with or without clinical infectious diseases. shewanella putrefaciens, a saprophytic gram-negative rod, is rarely responsible for clinical syndromes in humans. debilitated status and exposure to aquatic environments are ... | 2004 | 15605912 |
| biodegradation and microbial community changes upon shrimp shell wastes amended in mangrove river sediment. | chitin, a homopolymer of n-acetyl-d-glucosamine (glcnac) residues linked by beta 1-4 bonds, is the most abundant renewable natural resource after cellulose. it is widely distributed in nature as the integuments of crustaceans and insects and as a component of fungi and algae. this study investigated the effects of a bifunctional chitinase/lysozyme-producing strain, pseudomonas aeruginosa k-187, on degradation of shrimp shells and the survival conditions of bacterial strains in mangrove river sed ... | 2010 | 20512738 |
