Pyomelanin is produced by Shewanella algae BrY and affected by exogenous iron [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Microbiology, 2008
Melanin production by Shewanella algae BrY occurred during late- and (or) post-exponential growth in lactate basal salts liquid medium supplemented with tyrosine or phenylalanine. The antioxidant ascorbate inhibited melanin production but not production of the melanin precursor homogentisic acid.

Searching for putative virulence factors in the genomes of Shewanella indica and Shewanella algae

Archives of Microbiology, 2020
Bacterial pathogens are a major threat to both humans and animals worldwide. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms of various disease processes at the molecular level. Shewanella species are widespread in the environment and some are considered as emerging opportunistic human and marine mammal pathogens.

Shewanella algae Causing Pediatric Orbital Abscess With Leptomeningitis

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2022
A 13-year-old boy presented with 3 days of left-sided periorbital pain, swelling, mucoid discharge, and fever to 103°F, with onset 1 day after swimming in the ocean. Within 12 hours, he experienced rapid clinical deterioration with formation of a superomedial subperiosteal abscess and an epidural abscess with leptomeningitis despite treatment with ...

Pyogenic Flexor Tenosynovitis Caused by Shewanella algae

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2016
Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis is an orthopedic emergency most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci and occasionally, when associated with water exposure, Mycobacterium marinum. Shewanella algae, a gram-negative bacillus found in warm saltwater environments, has infrequently been reported to cause serious soft tissue infections and ...

LATE VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT INFECTION CAUSED BY SHEWANELLA ALGAE

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2010
We present a case of ventriculitis and peritonitis in a child with ventriculoperitoneal shunt, which occurred 5 years after the surgery. The infection developed after contact with seawater and began as otitis. For the first time, Shewanella algae, a marine microorganism, was identified as the cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection.

Rupture of a Primary Aortic Aneurysm Infected with Shewanella Alga

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Bacteria of the genus Shewanella are rarely implicated in bacteremia. We report a case of rupture of a primary aneurysm infected with Shewanella alga.

Regeneration of iron for trichloroethylene reduction by Shewanella alga BrY

Chemosphere, 2007
Zero valent iron (ZVI), the primary reactive material in several permeable reactive barriers, is often oxidized to ferrous or ferric iron, resulting in decreased reactivity with time. Iron reducing bacteria can reconvert the ferric iron to its ferrous form, prolonging the reduction of chlorinated organic contaminants. In this study, the reduction of Fe(

Bioreductive deposition of platinum nanoparticles on the bacterium Shewanella algae

Journal of Biotechnology, 2007
An environmentally friendly method using the metal ion-reducing bacterium Shewanella algae was proposed to deposit platinum nanoparticles. Resting cells of S. algae were able to reduce aqueous PtCl(6)(2-) ions into elemental platinum at room temperature and neutral pH within 60min when lactate was provided as the electron donor.

Shewanella algae sepsis after bathing in the Baltic Sea

Ugeskrift for Læger
Shewanella algae is a typical marine bacterium. It is a rare cause of disease in humans, especially in colder sea environments. In this case report, an otherwise healthy elderly male presents with sepsis caused by S. algae a few days after bathing in the Baltic Sea with open wounds from gardening.
