Review
A late preterm male infant of 36 weeks gestation and a birth weight of 2100 g was admitted on day 35 of life with complaints of respiratory distress and lethargy. He was diagnosed as a case of sepsis screen positive culture negative sepsis and was managed with respiratory support and intravenous antibiotics for 10 days. The infant improved clinically and was on spoon feeds by day 14 of admission. On day 14 of admission, he developed new-onset respiratory distress and was diagnosed as a case of nosocomial pneumonia based on chest radiography findings. The blood culture grew a rare organism and a diagnosis of sepsis was also made. The antibiotics were tailored as per the blood culture sensitivity pattern and the infant had clinical improvement in the next 72 hours.

A citizen science project found that the greenhouse camel cricket () is common in North American homes. Public response was to wonder 'what good are they anyway?' and ecology and evolution guided the search for potential benefit. We predicted that camel crickets and similar household species would likely host bacteria with the ability to degrade recalcitrant carbon compounds. Lignocellulose is particularly relevant as it is difficult to degrade yet is an important feedstock for pulp and paper, chemical and biofuel industries. We screened gut bacteria of greenhouse camel crickets and another household insect, the hide beetle () for the ability to grow on and degrade lignocellulose components as well as the lignocellulose-derived industrial waste product black liquor. From three greenhouse camel crickets and three hide beetles, 14 bacterial strains were identified that were capable of growth on lignocellulosic components, including lignin. was selected for further study due to growth on most lignocellulose components. The secretome was identified using LC/MS/MS analysis. This work demonstrates a novel source of lignocellulose-degrading bacteria and introduces an effective workflow to identify bacterial enzymes for transforming industrial waste into value-added products. More generally, our research suggests the value of ecologically guided discovery of novel organisms.

BACKGROUND
Cedecea lapagei bacterium was discovered in 1977 but was not known to be pathogenic to humans until 2006. In the medical literature there are very few clinical case reports of Cedecea lapagei; none have reported a catastrophic death secondary to a soft tissue hemorrhagic bullae infection. As well as soft tissue infection, rare cases of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, peritonitis, osteomyelitis, bacteremia, and sepsis have been documented with the majority having good outcomes. Here, we present the first case of a fatal outcome in a Cedecea lapagei soft tissue infection with multiple hemorrhagic bullae.
CASE PRESENTATION
A 52-year-old Mexican man with antecedents of liver cirrhosis and treated hypertension was brought to our institution with clinical signs of sepsis and 16 to 18 hours of history of pain and edema in his right lower limb. During the course of the first day hospitalized in our institution, he developed several large serohematogenous bullae with ascending progression on his entire right lower limb. He subsequently developed multiple organ failure and septic shock with rapid deterioration, dying on the second day. Bullae fluid samples taken the first day undoubtedly isolated Cedecea lapagei within the second day using MicroScan WalkAway® 96 plus System as well Gram-negative bacteria in MacConkey and blood agar.
CONCLUSIONS
The isolation of Cedecea lapagei was an unexpected etiological finding that will enable physicians in the future to consider this bacterium as a probable cause of serohematogenous bullae infections. We do not exclude contamination although it has never been isolated in bullae fluid in the medical literature. Future encounters with this bacterium should not be taken lightly as it may have the potential to have fatal outcomes.

Review
Cedecea lapagei is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It has been reported as a pathogen in few cases of bacterial peritonitis, wound infection, chemicals burns and pneumonia. We report a case of traumatic wound infection by this pathogen with a pertinent review.

A 45-year-old man presented with acute sinusitis. He was treated with a 10-day course of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and a subsequent 14-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate with no improvement in symptoms. Culture of purulent nasal secretions revealed the rare enterobacter The patient had complete resolution of his symptoms after a 14-day course of gentamicin/dexamethasone nasal rinses. Emerging pathogens have been a timeless concern for physicians, as witnessed by the current SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. has been reported to cause human infection only a dozen times since its discovery, all in severely compromised patients. This is the first documented case of sinusitis reported with and may portend a rising prevalence of disease burden in the general population. This case demonstrates the necessity of obtaining cultures when standard antibiotics result in treatment failure.

Cedecea lapagei is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and is an uncommon pathogen. There are very few reports of isolation of this organism from biological samples; mostly it is found to be a pathogen in elderly or otherwise medically compromised. We present a rare case of a patient with underlying malignancy of buccal mucosa, who developed an oral ulcer superinfected with C. lapagei. According to the available literature, this is the first case of C. lapagei from India detected in a cancer patient.

Cedecea represents a genus in the Enterobacteriaceae family that has been rarely associated with human infection. The clinical relevance of Cedecea lapagei has yet to be elucidated. This is the first reported case of pneumonia due to C. lapagei in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia.
