Pre-septal cellulitis represents with a superficial infection. It may result from trauma, contiguous infection or occasionally primary bacteraemia. It is commonly managed medically with antibiotics; there is a low threshold for intravenous antibiotics as posterior spread is the concern.

The antibacterial properties of GNPs against pathogenic bacteria (aerobic microbes only) have been entrenched in different literatures [5,16] while anaerobes are yet to be evaluated. The SRB are wide spread in nature and mainly found in sulfate-rich anoxic habitats such as soil, marine and fresh waters and sediments. They are found in the gut of many animals, including humans and even detected from thoraco-abdominal pus of humans.[17] SRB causes inflammatory bowel disease in humans.[18]Desulfovibrio species has been associated with primary bacteremia and gastrointestinal tract infections such as Cholecystitis and Abscess.[19]

The animal husbandry system and animal microbiome, serve as a reservoir of ARBs, ARGs and MGEs, have significant clinical relevance to public health due to the potential antibiotic resistance transmission from animals to humans (Figure 1). For example, pathogens such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, a specific human pathogen that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics) are not only a special concern for animals but also for humans since it has the ability to cause a range of different illnesses in humans from minor skin infections to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, and sepsis (Collignon et al., 2009).

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is the causative agent of several serious diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, bacteremia, ear infections, and sinus infections.[1,2] Treatment failures due to growing resistance of the microbe towards commonly used antibiotics such as β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is a major concern.[3,4] For developing new classes of antimicrobials, it is necessary to explore and characterize alternative essential cellular processes in Spn, which are preferably absent in humans.
