Sphingomonas Paucimobilisis a gram negative bacilli (GNB). It has-been isolated in different places like water, soil, medications, dialysis fluids and hospital water systems. ITS, although pathogenic potential is mainly in immunocompromised hosts attributed, cases of severe infections in immunocompetent Patients have also been reported. Since its discovery, a large variety of infections such as, meningitis, endophthalmitis, peritonitis, septic arthritis, endovascular devices-related infections and so forth have been reported. Despite multiple severe infections have been described by this bacterium, the isolation of S. paucimobilis with multi resistance never had been reported. We report a case of endovascular device-related sepsis by carbapenemproducing S. paucimobilis (KPC) in a 64 years old female patient dialysis-dependent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
