Alcaligenes Xylosoxidans Subsp Xylosoxidans in Children with Chronic Otorrhea

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1996
Because other known pathogens are frequently isolated with AXX, its clinical significance may be overlooked. AXX should not be considered a colonizer or contaminant, particularly in the presence of clinical signs and symptoms of infection. For a pediatric patient with AXX in the ear fluid, the choice of an antibiotic regimen should be based on in vitro

A pseudoepidemic of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans attributable to contaminated saline

American Journal of Infection Control, 1998
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is an uncommon but serious cause of nosocomial epidemics. This report describes a cluster of two patients who underwent revision of hip arthroplasties and one patient who had a lumbar puncture. Cultures obtained during all three procedures showed A. xylosoxidans with similar antibiotic sensitivity patterns.

CAPD-associated peritonitis caused by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans sp. xylosoxidans.

American journal of nephrology, 2002
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is an uncommon cause of peritonitis in patients on maintenance continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Peritonitis caused by A. xylosoxidans usually carries a poor prognosis because of the pathogen's virulence and its universal resistance to most antimicrobial agents.

Degradation of PCB in different soils by inoculated Alcaligenes xylosoxidans

Science of The Total Environment, 1995
The degradation of PCB in soils by the biphenyl-utilising strain Alcaligenes xylosoxidans was studied in different soil types. In addition to the congener specificity, significant differences in the degradation of PCB by the strain in the different soil types were observed.

Case Report: Subcutaneous Abscess and Thoracic Empyema Caused by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1998
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is a glucose-nonfermentative gram-negative rod which usually exists in the environment. This organism while causing pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis and urinary tract infection in the compromised host, rarely causes thoracic empyema. We report a case of thoracic empyema and subcutaneous abscess due to A. xylosoxidans.

Infection by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans in neutropenic patients.

Oncology, 1996
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (A. x. xylosoxidans) is a nonfermenting gram-negative peritrichous rod and opportunistic pathogen. The organism is frequently found in an aqueous environment. In the past few years, nosocomial infections caused by A. x. xylosoxidans have become more evident.

Alcaligenes xylosoxidans Endophthalmitis Following Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2008
Five consecutive cases of endophthalmitis that developed after cataract extraction by a single surgeon using the same operating room during one morning session are described. Following preoperative topical administration of ciprofloxacin, surgery consisted of phacoemulsification with peristaltic pump and fluid venting ...

Cooxidation of chloro- and methylphenols by Alcaligenes xylosoxidans JH1

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2000
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subspecies denitrificans JH1 was enriched with 2-chlorophenol from a mixed culture degrading different chloro- and methylphenols. The strain used all monochloro- and monomethylphenols apart from 2-methylphenol as sole source of energy and carbon with stoichiometric release of chloride.
