Introduction Raoultella ornithinolytica, a Gram-negative, encapsulated, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Initially, researchers classified it under the genus Klebsiella, but later reclassified it due to its significant genetic and biochemical differences. Various environments, including water, soil, and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other mammals, harbor this organism. Its unique ability to degrade ornithine through the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase sets it apart from closely related species. As an opportunistic pathogen, Raoultella ornithinolytica can...

Introduction Leuconostoc mesenteroides is a species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) notable for its role in the fermentation of various foods and beverages. These bacteria are Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and usually appear as spherical to ovoid cells forming pairs or chains. It is particularly esteemed in the culinary world for its contribution to the flavors, textures, and preservation of fermented products like sauerkraut, kimchi, and some dairy products. It ferments sugars to produce lactic acid, which...
