Infective Endocarditis Caused by an Unusual Gram-Negative Rod, Rahnella aquatilis

Pediatric Cardiology, 1996
An 11-month-old girl with congenital heart disease developed infective endocarditis. Blood cultures revealed an unusual gram-negative rod, Rahnella aquatilis. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of netilmicin and ceftazidime. This is the first case report of infective endocarditis caused by this organism. R.

Clinical and microbiological characteristics of Rahnella aquatilis strains isolated from children

Journal of Infection, 1996
We report the microbiological characteristics of two Rahnella aquatilis strains isolated in the faeces of two patients with acute gastroenteritis, one of whom is an AIDS patient. The biochemical behaviour was studied with different automated identification systems, and the few clinical cases to be found in the literature were reviewed.

Natural antibiotic susceptibility of Rahnella aquatilis and R. aquatilis-related strains.

Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy), 2000
A database is described of the natural susceptibilities of 70 Rahnella strains to 71 antibiotics. MIC values were determined by a microdilution procedure and evaluated by a table calculation program. Rahnella aquatilis and R. aquatilis-related strains were naturally resistant to amoxycillin, ticarcillin, fosfomycin and to antibiotics to which other ...

Rahnella aquatilis Bacteremia in a Patient with Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Rahnella aquatilis infections are rare. We report the case of a 46-y-old African-American male with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia who had R. aquatilis bacteremia after beginning reinduction chemotherapy. He was treated for 4 weeks with piperacillin-tazobactam and gentamicin.

[Isolation and characterization of Rahnella aquatilis lipopolysaccharides].

Mikrobiolohichnyi zhurnal (Kiev, Ukraine : 1993), 2004
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of six strains of Rahnella aquatilis isolated from freshwater reservoirs, plant rhizosphere, and from patient have been investigated. It was shown, that LPS of type strain was characterized by the presence of rhamnose and mannose as predominant monosaccharides, while LPS of the rest strains contained galactose and fucose.

Bacteraemia Caused by Rahnella aquatilis: Report of Two Cases and Review

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1995
Rahnella aquatilis, a rare Gram-negative rod, usually found in fresh water, was isolated from blood of a diabetic patient and a patient with laryngeal carcinoma. Both recovered from the infection after treatment with parenteral antibiotics including gentamicin.

Characterization of Levansucrase fromRahnella aquatilisJCM-1683

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1992
Levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10) was purified to homogeneity from cell-free extracts of Rahnella aquatilis JCM-1683 by streptomycin treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and HPLC with a DEAE-Toyopearl pak 650M, TSKgel G-3000SW, and TSKgel DEAE-5PW. The enzyme had optimum activity around pH and 55—60°C.

Synthesis of methyl β-D-fructoside catalyzed by levansucrase from Rahnella aquatilis

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2000
Methyl beta-D-fructoside(MF) was formed from sucrose and methanol by a transfructosylation reaction using recombinant levansucrase from Rahnella aquatilis. The increase in the yield of MF formation was achieved by increasing methanol concentration.

[Characteristics of structure components of Rahnella aquatilis lipopolysaccharides].

Mikrobiolohichnyi zhurnal (Kiev, Ukraine : 1993), 2005
LPS have been isolated from 6 strains of Rahnella aquatilis, their separate structure components have been obtained: lipid A, O-specific polysaccharide shain (OPS) and core oligosaccharide. 3-Oxytetradecanoic (31.7%) and tetradecanoic (17.8%) acids are dominating fatty acids of the lipid A. The core oligosaccharide of most investigated strains includes
