“…It becomes an opportunistic pathogen with decline in local or generalised immunity and has been reported to cause iatrogenic infections and pseudo-outbreaks. P. stutzeri has been isolated from surgical wounds, blood, respiratory samples, urine and various other samples, though it is rare in the eyes 9. A MEDLINE search reveals only a few reports of its ocular involvement in the form of conjunctivitis,10 delayed onset endophthalmitis11 and late onset bleb-related panophthalmitis 12.…”

Corneal infection byPseudomonas stutzerifollowing excision of trigeminal nerve schwannoma

SUMMARYA 25-year-old woman underwent intracranial surgery for trigeminal nerve schwannoma (TGNS) with persistent left-sided facial hypoaesthesia. Two months later, she developed a central corneal ulceration. Scraping of the corneal lesion revealed Gram-negative bacilli. Genus level identification was achieved using standard techniques and species level identification, revealing Pseudomonas stutzeri, was aided by a VITEK 2 compact system. Broadspectrum fortified antibiotics were initially started followed by species-sensitive fortified antibiotics. Ocular surface toxicity developed a week later; this was managed with a non-fortified antibiotic. The epithelial defect healed in 3 weeks with subsequent corneal scar formation. Visual rehabilitation was achieved with deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Six months following surgery, the patient had a visual acuity of 20/40 with −1.25 170°−0.5 refractive correction and a clear graft. This case report, for the first time, highlights P. stutzeri, an aetiological agent of corneal ulcer following excision of TGNS and its successful management. BACKGROUND

The decreasing productivity of silkworm cocoon is caused by attack of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and virus. The research was aimed to isolate of suspected pathogenic and biological control bacteria from damage and healthy pupae of golden silkworm (Cricula trifenestrata Helfer) and to do in vivo test of the bacteria toward 4th instar larvae of C. trifenestrata and mulberry silkworms, Bombyx mori Linn. The isolate UPC 60 was suspected as pathogenic bacteria due to cause the mortality of silkworms larvae. The bacteria UPC 40 and UPC 71 were selected as biological control bacteria which had capability to reduce the mortality of silkworms about 56.67 and 43.33%, respectively. Based on 16s RNA gene the bacteria UPC 40 had 97% identity with Alcaligenes faecalis, bacteria UPC 60 had 97% identity with Aeromonas dhakensis and bacteria UPC 71 had 98% identity with Pseudomonas stutzuri. The biological control bacteria showed antagonistic activity toward the pathogenic bacteria. The outcomes of the research that the biological control bacteria expected to be used to reduce pathogenic bacteria in the maintenance of silkworm so that the production and quality of silk yarn can be improved.

Pseudomonas stutzeri is infrequently isolated from clinical specimens, and if isolated, more likely represents colonization or contamination rather than infection. Despite this, there are dozens of case reports which describe clinically significant P. stutzeri infections at variable sites. A 69-year-old man had a P. stutzeri infection of a prosthetic vascular graft infection, which he received in Panama City. He was successfully treated with a single antipseudomonal agent for 6 weeks and the removal of the infected vascular graft. A 70-year-old man had a P. stutzeri infection of a prosthetic joint, which was successfully treated with a single anti-pseudomonal agent for 6 weeks. There is only one other documented case of a prosthetic vascular graft infection secondary to P. stutzeri. There are 5 documented cases of P. stutzeri prosthetic joint infections. The previous cases were treated with antibiotics and variably, source control with the removal of prosthetic material. Most cases of P. stutzeri infection are due to exposure in health care settings. Immunocompromised states such as HIV or hematological and solid tumor malignancies are risk factors for P. stutzeri infection. Infections caused by P. stutzeri are far less frequent and less fatal than those caused by P. aeruginosa. The etiology of a P. stutzeri infection could be exposure to soil and water, but also contaminated material in the health care setting or an immunocompromised state. Iatrogenic infections that are secondary to health care tourism are a potential cause of fever in the returned traveler.
