Rhizobium radiobacter, a Rare Cause of Peritonitis
Abstract Rhizobium radiobacter is a Gram‑negative bacteria known to cause peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients since 1985. Although it has low virulence, it is known to adhere to medical devices, raising concern for PD catheter removal. Currently, there are no guidelines as to the best practice when dealing with this agent, despite the ...

EXO GENES OF RHIZOBIUM RADIOBACTER 36 AND THEIR CHARACTERIZATION
Bacteria of Rhizobium genus are characterized with synthesis exopolysaccharides (EPS), which play a crucial role in cell defense in abiotic stress, such as salinity, drought, heavy metals exposure etc. [1, 2]. Production of EPS by Rhizobium are controlled by a set of specific genes, such as exo genes [2].

[A rare cause of catheter-related bacteremia: Rhizobium radiobacter].
Rhizobium spp. (R. radiobacter, R. rhizogenes, R. rubi, R. vitis) are aerobic, motile, non-spore forming, oxidase-positive, gram-negative bacilli. Although they are mostly plant pathogens, R. radiobacter may cause human infections. The aim of this report was to present a case of R. radiobacter bacteremia treated with levofloxacin. Twenty-seven year old

STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION OF EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE BY RHIZOBIUM RADIOBACTER 36
Bacteria of the Rhizobium genus are also well-known for their ability to synthesize exopolysaccharides (EPS), which are crucial for their survival and function under abiotic stress conditions [1]. The synthesis and regulation of EPS in Rhizobium are governed by specific gene clusters, most notably the exo genes [2].
