“…MDR emergence of R. ornithinolytica is a global health problem commonly associated with bacteremia, urinary tract infection, neonatal infections, and exist in underlying existing infection [6,26,27]. Increasing resistance in microorganism for antimicrobials becomes a major threat to health and economic problem which ultimately leads to allowing survival of the resistant bacteria and death of the susceptible ones.…”

Raoultella ornithinolytica is belongs to the family of Enterobacteriaceae, a Gram-negative encapsulated aerobic bacillus associated with bacteremia and urinary tract infections. As biofield therapy is increasingly popular in biomedical heath care, so present study aimed to evaluate the impact of Mr. Trivedi's biofield treatment on antimicrobial sensitivity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), biochemical study, and biotype number of multidrug resistant strain of R. ornithinolytica. Clinical sample of R. ornithinolytica was divided into two groups i.e. control and biofield treated which were analyzed for the above parameters using MicroScan Walk-Away® system on day 10 after treatment. Antimicrobial sensitivity assay results showed a significant increase (60.71%) in sensitivity pattern of antimicrobials i.e. changed from resistant to susceptible while 10.71% of tested antimicrobials changed from intermediate to susceptible as compared to control. MIC results showed a significant decrease in MIC values of 71.88% tested antimicrobials as compared to control.Biochemical reaction study showed 15.15% alteration in different biochemical such as cetrimide, cephalothin, kanamycin, and ornithine after biofield treatment as compared to control. A significant change in biotype number (7775 4370) was also observed with organism identified as Klebsiella oxytoca after biofield treatment as compared to control (7775 5372). Overall results conclude that biofield treatment could be used as complementary and alternative treatment strategy against multidrug resistant strain of R. ornithinolytica with respect to improve the sensitivity and reduce the MIC values of antimicrobials. Hence, it is assumed that biofield treatment might be a suitable cost effective treatment strategy in near future, which could have therapeutic value in patients suffering from multidrug resistant pathogens.

“…R. ornithinolytica is widely distributed in aquatic flora, fishes and insects, but it was associated with histamine poisoning in fish [2]. Human infections are often less reported earlier, but different cases of bacteremia are reported due to R. terrigena [3], R. planticola [4] and R. ornithinolytica [5,6].…”

“…aoultella ornithinolytica is mostly recovered from the environment and rarely causes severe infections in humans; so far, only a few invasive R. ornithinolytica infections have been reported (1,2). Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae represents one of the greatest problems in the realm of antibiotic resistance, and resistance is most often mediated by carbapenemases, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), IMP, NDM, and OXA-48 (3).…”

bWe report here the emergence of seven IMP-4-producing Raoultella ornithinolytica isolates obtained from one patient. All isolates carried the bla IMP-4 carbapenemase gene, five isolates also carried bla SHV-12 , four contained bla TEM-1 , and one contained bla OXA-1 . Notably, the R. ornithinolytica isolate Ro25724 also expressed Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-2. The bla KPC-2 gene was located on a Tn3-Tn4401 integration structure on a plasmid of ϳ450 kb. This is the first description of the coexistence of bla KPC-2 and bla IMP-4 from the genus Raoultella.

Raoultella ornithinolytica is an encapsulated, Gram-negative, nonmotile aerobic rob which was reclassified from Klebsiella genus belonging to the family of Enterobacteriaceae. It is a rare human infection and few cases have been reported in post thoracotomy patients. Here we present a case of a left lower lobectomy patient that was complicated by pleural effusion, high fever with positive sputum cultures of Raoultella ornithinolytica and positive pleural fluid cultures of Staphylococcus hominis. The disease is related with aquatic life poisoning. There are few cases reported and even fewer postoperatively. The infection is rare in humans therefore the bacteria is still underreported.
