“…are the sixth most common cause of nosocomial infection and antibiotic resistant strains are observed with increasing frequency (Peters et al, 2000). Enterobacter species are not primary human pathogens, however E. cloacae have been implicated in a broad range of clinical syndromes (Kaminska et al, 2002;Liu et al, 2004).…”

“…Klebsiella pneumoniae is known to cause severe respiratory tract infections and is also sometimes recognized as an opportunistic bacterium, like Enterobacter cloacae . They can both be responsible for infections of the urinary tract (Kaminska et al. 2002; Struve and Krogfelt 2004).…”

Aims: To assess the bacterial diversity and safety of wastewater inoculants, which are commercially available products used to improve the aerobic digestion processes of the domestic waste compost in the septic tank. Methods and Results: Eighteen wastewater inoculants were analysed on nonselective and selective media and the cultivable bacteria were identified. In all wastewater inoculants, the number of CFUs were between 104 and 107 g−1 powder on nonselective media and Bacillus was the predominant cultivable genus. Culture‐independent molecular methods such as sequencing of 16S rRNA clone libraries and denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis demonstrated the high prevalence of interfering chloroplast 16S rRNA from plant material and the presence of Bacillus spp. Only after selective enrichments and cultivation, the presence of one pathogenic strain (Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae) and one opportunistic strain of (Enterobacter cloacae) bacteria were detected in six different products. Conclusion: The predominant cultivable species of the wastewater inoculants were Bacillus spp. and after enrichment six products were found to contain opportunistic or pathogenic strains. Significance and Impact of the Study: The presence of opportunistic pathogenic strains in the inoculants might represent a risk for immunocompromised, the elderly or children. A clear labelling should therefore be displayed on the product.

This study involved the examination of bacteriuria according to the results of quantitative cultures in over 300 urine samples collected from patients admitted at El-Hussein University Hospital. The infection rate of both Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were found to be 26.92 and 11.54%; respectively. As the glucose and albumin concentration increased, the number of all infectious organisms greatly increased. Similarly, when creatinine concentration elevated up to 3.5 g/l, the infectious organisms (Enterobacter faecalis, Streptococcus sp. (B) group, Proteus mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter sp. and Citrobacter freundii) significantly increased. The effect of sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium oxalate (CaC 2 O 4) , magnesium chloride (MgCl 2) and uric acid (C 5 H 4 N 4 O 3) concentrations fluctuated according to the concentration used and the type of each infectious organism. Noracin was effective against all tested organisms. Acinetobacter sp. recorded 50% resistance to ampicillin while it was sensitive to all other tested antibiotics.
