“…Certain populations, such as elderly patients in long-term care facilities or those with indwelling urinary catheters, may have higher rates of K. oxytoca UTIs due to increased exposure to healthcare settings and antimicrobial agents. 19 Prevalence of Morganella morganii -M. morganii is less commonly isolated from UTIs compared to K. oxytoca and E. coli, with reported prevalence rates ranging from 0.1% to 2.5%. However, M. morganii is frequently associated with complicated UTIs, including catheter-associated UTIs, pyelonephritis, and UTIs in immunocompromised individuals.…”

“…20 A few studies showed the incidence of Klebsiella oxytoca in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and its antibiotic sensitivity profile was identified. 19 Urine samples from 430 patients at Al-Shomally General Hospital, Babil, Iraq, and a private laboratory in Babil city were analyzed from January 2018 to December 2019 using routine bacteriological diagnosis and the VITEK® 2 system. 19 Of the 430 samples, 122 showed bacterial growth, with K. oxytoca isolated from 2 patients (11% of Klebsiella species).…”

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant global health concern affecting millions annually. In India, UTIs linked to various bacterial pathogens, particularly and present a formidable challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of these bacteria in urine samples obtained from UTI patients in Indian settings. Our investigation identified a notable proportion of UTIs associated with and highlighting the necessity for customized therapeutic approaches. Additionally, we conducted antibiotic susceptibility testing to guide appropriate antibiotic selection. Our findings revealed that 90% of isolates exhibiting additional resistance to Azithromycin (AZK). These results emphasize the importance of judicious antibiotic use and continuous monitoring of antibiotic resistance in UTI-causing pathogens in Indian healthcare settings. This study contributes to UTI management strategies and the development of tailored treatment modalities for the Indian population.

The treatment of chemical and biological contaminants in water through biofabricated metal nanoparticles is one of the promising sustainable methods.Herein, an efficient synthesis of novel chromium oxide nanorods is introduced by Illicium verum fruit extract as a bio-reducing, capping, and stabilizing agent.The morphological, optical, catalytic, and bactericidal properties of nanorods are investigated by various techniques. The UV-visible spectra displayed strong absorption peak in the region of 309.8 nm, whereas Fourier transform infrared presented the characteristic vibrations at 605.65 and 651.94 cm À1 attributed to Cr O binding mode. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that chromium oxide nanoparticles are well-dispersed with small rodshaped morphology. The average size of nanorods was found to be ~15 to 20 nm in length. Due to their ultra-large surface area and strong π-π interaction, the plant-coated nanorods were tested for the catalytic removal of methyl orange (MO), a common water-soluble textile dye. Adsorption potential of Cr 2 O 3 nanoparticles was monitored by UV-visible spectrophotometer, which showed 90-95% successive decrease in the absorption maxima of aqueous MO (1 μM). The elimination rate of MO was drastically improved from 45 to 30 min, while a combination of Cr 2 O 3 nanorods and sodium borohydride NaBH 4 was used. Bactericidal activities of these nanorods were tested against vast number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The significant results were obtained with 27 mm zone of inhibition against Klebsiella. oxytoca and Serratia. marcescens. This quick and simple procedure can be scaled up for commercial applications of new, eco-friendly, and cost-effective water treatment process.
