“…It is one of the predominant bacteria isolated from domestic kitchens and student sponge samples [ 3 , 5 , 32 ]. K. oxytoca , second highest frequency isolate in this study, has previously been isolated from domestic kitchen sponges [ 5 ] and leafy green vegetables [ 33 ]. This bacterium can cause septicemia, pneumonia and urinary tract infection [ 34 ].…”

“…This bacterium can cause septicemia, pneumonia and urinary tract infection [ 34 ]. K. pneumoniae , can cause serious community-acquired pneumonia [ 35 ], and has been isolated from meat and meat contact surfaces [ 36 ], leafy green vegetables [ 33 ] as well as kitchen sponges [ 5 ]. The pathogenicity of R. ornithinolytica is uncertain but it has been associated with fish and causes scombroid syndrome [ 37 ].…”

Background Kitchen sponges are a major source of cross-contamination as they can transfer foodborne pathogens, infectious agents and spoilage causing microorganisms to food contact surfaces. Several studies have revealed that university students adopt poor practices regarding food safety, hygiene, and the handling of kitchen cleaning equipment. Methods A total of fifty kitchen sponges were collected along with a questionnaire addressing social demographics and kitchen sponge usage by students living at the University of Sharjah dormitories. The effect of storage (3 and 10 days) on the microbial population of kitchen sponges at room temperature (21 °C) was assessed. Enterobacteriaceae isolated from sponges were identified and their antibiotic resistance determined. Results Student responses revealed that kitchen sponges used to clean food contact surfaces were also used to clean the oven (32%), sink (26%), refrigerator (10%), and to clean spills on the floor (4%). Kitchen sponges contained high counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria (7.9 log 10 /cm 3 ) , coliform (7.2 log 10 /cm 3 ), Enterobacteriaceae (7.3 log 10 /cm 3 ) and yeasts and molds (7.0 log 10 /cm 3 ). After storage of the sponges at room temperature (21 °C) for 3 and 10 days, the number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, coliform, Enterobacteriaceae and yeasts and molds decreased by 0.4 and 1.3 log 10 /cm 3 , 0.7 and 1.4 log 10 /cm 3 , 0.4 and 1.1 log 10 /cm 3 , and 0.6 and 1.3 log 10 /cm 3 , respectively. The most frequently isolated Enterobacteriaceae were Enterobacter cloacae (56%) and Klebsiella oxytoca (16%) . All E. cloacae isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, cefalotin, cefoxitin and cefuroxime axetil. Conclusions This study showed that students living in dormitories lacked good hygienic practices and were at increased risk of food poisoning. Kitchen sponges were highly contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria which could be transferred from the general kitchen environment to food contact surfaces and consequently lead to food contamination.

“…In 1981, Cedecea , a gram‐negative, oxidase‐negative, fermentative bacillus formerly known as enteric group 15 of the family Enterobacteriaceae, was designated as a new and separate genus (1). Including our case, 13 isolates have been reported (Table 1) (2–12). Six cases out of 13 (46%) were of C. davisae strain.…”

“…Treatment of this infection is sometimes a challenge because strains can be resistant to a variety of antimicrobial agents, in particular cephalothin, a first‐generation cephalosporin (2–4, 6, 10, 12). Other common resistances to antimicrobial agents, include ampicillin, colistin, and cefoxitin (second‐generation cephalosporin).…”

Cedecea davisae is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family and is an uncommon pathogen. This organism has been isolated from the blood, sputum, and cutaneous ulcers of only a handful of patients, most of these being elderly or otherwise medically compromised. This is a report of a patient, status post renal transplantation, who developed an oral ulcer associated with sirolimus use and superinfected with C. davisae. According to the literature, this is the first case of C. davisae detected in the oral cavity. Antibiotic therapy led to prompt resolution of this very large ulcer.

Cedecea davisae bacteremia

Abstract: A case of bacteremia caused by Cedecea davisae is presented. This is the first reported case of bacteremia caused by this organism. The name Cedecea was proposed in 1980 for a new genus, in the family Enterobacteriaceae, formerly designated as
