“…In humans, this bacterium has been isolated mainly from patients with chronic urinary tract diseases who are subjected to prolonged use of catheters (Barl et al, 2012;Wie, 2015). However, reports of the presence of renal and hepatic abscesses (Chamberland et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2017), meningitis (Sipahi et al, 2010), endocarditis (Krake & Tandon, 2004), conjunctivitis (Crane et al, 2016) and septic vasculitis (George et al, 2020) have also been described in the literature.…”

Bacteria of the genus Providencia are opportunistic pathogens in humans, widely distributed in the environment and associated with greater resistance to antibiotics, and this being uncommon the association with clinical diseases. This study reports the isolation of P. stuartii in two sheep that presented clinical signs of pneumonia. At necropsy there was severe and acute fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia. Histologically, there were infiltrated neutrophils and fibrin in the alveolar lumen, and the alveolar septa presented multifocal thickening with moderate proliferation of pneumocytes and mononuclear interstitial infiltrate. Providencia sp. was isolated in the microbiological tests of the lung and tracheal secretions. The isolate was subjected to DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the 16SrRNA gene and sequencing of genomic DNA, which demonstrated 100% homology with P. stuartii. This is the first report of the presence of this microorganism as a cause of interstitial and fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia in sheep. Therefore, it is suggested that epidemiological surveillance strategies should be carried out in animals to better understand their role in the dissemination of this pathogen.

Providencia stuartii is one of the Enterobacteriaceae species of medical importance commonly associated with urinary infections, which can also cause other ones, including uncommon ones, such as liver abscess and septic vasculitis.This bacterium stands out in the expression of intrinsic and acquired resistance to antimicrobials. Besides, it uses mechanisms such as biofi lm for its persistence in biotic and abiotic environments. This study investigated the cellular hydrophobicity profi le of clinical isolates of P. stuartii. It also analyzed genes related to the fi mbrial adhesin in this species comparing with other reports described for other bacteria from Enterobacteriaceae family. The investigated isolates to form biofi lm and had a practically hydrophilic cell surface profi le. However, fi mH and mrkD genes were not found in P. stuartii, unlike observed in other species of Enterobacteriaceae. These results show that P. stuartii has specifi cities regarding its potential for biofi lm formation, which makes it diffi cult to destabilize the infectious process and increases the permanence of this pathogen in hospital units.
