“…Shewanella spp. can cause dangerous infections: one case of monomicrobial S. putrefaciens infective endocarditis and several cases of osteomyelitis have been diagnosed ( 6 , 7 , 11 ). P. shigelloides and P. rettgeri have been associated with gastroenteritis and diarrhoea in travellers who have ingested contaminated water or food ( 8 ).…”

IntroductionOrnamental fish can suffer from different bacterial diseases. Among them the most prevalent are infections caused by Aeromonas, Shewanella, Citrobacter, Plesiomonas, Edwardsiella, and Pseudomonas. But there is a broad spectrum of rarely identified bacteria which may be causative agents of diseases. The aim of the study was to determine the species of bacteria pathogenic for fish which are prevalent in aquariums.Material and MethodsBacteria were isolated from infected ornamental fish from pet shops and private aquariums in the Lublin region in 2015 and classified to species using MALDI-TOF MS.ResultsA total of 182 isolates from ornamental fish were identified. The most frequent bacteria found in diseased fish were Aeromonas veronii (30.8% of total number of strains), A. hydrophila (18.7%), Shewanella putrefaciens (7.1%), Citrobacter freundii (7.1%), Pseudomonas spp. (7.1%), Shewanella baltica (4.9%), and Plesiomonas shigelloides (3.3%).ConclusionIsolated bacterial species are facultative pathogens for fish and humans and may be isolated from fish without apparent symptoms of the disease.

Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile genetic elements that contribute to horizontal gene transfer. The aim of this work was to study different types of ICEs in clinical isolates of the emergent pathogen Shewanella spp., to compare their transfer efficiency and their ability to integrate a new host. Here we show that 3 out of 10 clinical isolates contained an ICE. Two of these elements were similar to ICEs from the SXT/R391 family and the other one was similar to ICE Sh95 , a hybrid platform. Mating assays showed that these elements co-exist for several generations in the same host. Furthermore, transfer rates and competition assays between ICE Sh95 and ICE Sh392 , an SXT-like element, suggest that the latter has evolved into a well-oiled machine that efficiently spread to different bacteria. Our results provide strong evidence of the role that ICEs play in the dissemination of genetic traits in nature and the implications that they have in the global threat of antimicrobial resistance.

“…Under certain circumstances, these can take fatal courses up to necrotizing fasciitis ( Yim et al., 2010 ; Giroux et al., 2017 ) and the development of a Fournier’s gangrene ( Tang et al., 2016 ). In addition, S. putrefaciens can cause arthritides and osteomyelitides ( Levy and Tessier, 1998 ; Carlson and Dux, 2013 ; Guinetti-Ortiz et al., 2016 ). Potential entry ports and a typical predisposing factors for corresponding infections are chronic ulcers, especially of the lower extremities, and/or traumatic injuries associated with (sea) water or fish (water) exposure ( Oh et al., 2008 ; Carlson and Dux, 2013 ; Vignier et al., 2013 ; Guinetti-Ortiz et al., 2016 ).…”

“…In severe courses, especially with existing sepsis, intravenous combination treatment using, for example, an aminoglycoside antibiotic should be considered ( Brink et al., 1995 ). Depending on resistance testing and the clinical course, oral sequential antibiotic therapy may be appropriate in special cases ( Guinetti-Ortiz et al, 2016 ; Patel et al., 2020 ).…”

Shewanella putrefaciens is a gramnegative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacterium. It belongs to the class of the Gammaproteobacteria and was first described in 1931. S. putrefaciens is part of the marine microflora and especially present in moderate and warm climates. The bacterium is a rare oppurtonistic human pathogen associated mainly with intra-abdominal as well as skin and soft tissue infections. However, it has also been reported in association with more severe diseases such as pneumonia, intracerebral and ocular infections and endocarditis. In these cases the clinical courses are often associated with underlying, predisposing diseases and risk factors. For successful treatment of S. putrefaciens, a combination of appropriate local therapy, e.g. surgical treatment or drainage, and antibiotic therapy should be performed. Since multiple resistances to antibiotics are described, the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing must be considered for effective therapy as well. Furthermore, a main challenge in clinical practice is the accurate microbiological identification, and especially the correct differentiation between S. putrefaciens and S. algae. Under certain circumstances, Shewanella-infections can have severe, sometimes even fatal consequences. Therefore, we decided to present the current state of knowledge as well as further aspects with regard to future diagnostics, therapy and research.
