“…It was isolated from the mediastinal discharge and was susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, and tigecycline only but was uniformly resistant to other antimicrobial agents. Interestingly, C. lapagei and T. ptyseos , which are very uncommon agents, were also isolated and were susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam [7, 8]. …”

Total avulsion and transection of the esophagus at the esophagogastric junction are very rare after blunt trauma, and their management is challenging. Here, we present the case of a boy with this injury. To date, only two cases have been reported in children. One was treated successfully and the other died. The initial emergency operation should aim to save the life and native esophagus. Therefore, a primary or early thoracal end esophagostomy with gastrostomy should be performed, while primary repair should not be.

Tatumella ptyseos septicaemia in humans is yet to be reported in Nigeria with very few cases reported worldwide. This case report describes the clinical and distinctive biochemical characteristics of Tatumella ptyseos, its antibiotic sensitivity pattern and risk factors associated with Tatumella ptyseos septicaemia. Our case is a 2 months old ex-premature female from Calabar, admitted in the month of May, 2018 into the Children´s Emergency Room, of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. She presented with cough of one month and fever of three weeks, and was found to be acutely ill looking, febrile with temperature of 38.6°C, mildly pale, dyspnoeic and tachypnoeic with SPO 2 of 80% in room air, tender hepatomegaly of 6cm and a splenomegaly of 6cm. Blood culture yielded Gram negative rods identified as Tatumella ptyseos by OXOID MICROBACT™ GNB identification kit.

“…T. ptyseos has already been identified in human and animal materials such as blood, sputum, stool, urinary tract, abdominal tumor, and venous catheter [5], but also from soil, beef, grapes [6], and pineapples (T. citrea, described in Japan [7]). T. ptyseos was associated to severe neonatal sepsis of children infested by powdered infant formula milk [8] and was also reported to cause severe sepsis in adults [5]. Globally, less than 10 blood-isolated human case reports were found after a PubMed search (keywords: Tatumella, T. ptyseos, T. genus, EF-9).…”
