“…In several countries, Brevundimonas spp. have been reported as the cause of at least 49 cases of infections, including bacteraemia, endocarditis, pneumonia, peritonitis and urinary tract infection (Shang et al 2012; Bolzon and Nguyen 2018; Ryan and Pembroke 2018). Similarly, C. metallidurans , C. pauculus and R. radiobacter (Agrobacterium radiobacter) have already been described in different and even fatal nosocomial infections (Sood et al 2010; Langevin et al 2011; Duggal et al 2013; Badrising et al 2014; Uzodi et al 2014; D’Inzeo et al 2015; Almasy et al 2016; Pillonetto et al 2018; Casanova et al 2019; Shenai et al 2019).…”

Aims To evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological quality of dialysis water and dialysate samples from haemodialysis centres. Methods and Results Samples were fortnightly collected from three haemodialysis centres in Bauru City, Brazil, between July 2017 and June 2018, at the stages of post‐reverse osmosis, reuse and dialysate. Analyses included determination of conductivity, fluoride, nitrate and sulphate; test for total coliform bacteria; count of heterotrophic bacteria; count and identification of non‐fermenting gram‐negative bacilli (NFGNB); drug susceptibility test; biofilm formation capacity; and genetic similarity among some isolated NFGNB. Of the analysed samples, only 4/72 (5.6%) had conductivity values ≥10 mS/cm, 4/216 (1.9%) presented total coliforms and 1/216 (0.5%) had heterotrophic bacteria count >100 CFU/ml. NFGNB were isolated from 99/216 (45.8%) samples, and the major identified micro‐organisms included Herbaspirillum aquaticum/huttiense, Brevundimonas aurantiaca, Cupriavidus metallidurans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Ralstonia insidiosa. Isolates of P. aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia complex were sensitive to most antimicrobials and, together with isolates of Ralstonia insidiosa and Ralstonia pickettii, showed strong biofilm formation capacity. Some isolates expressed the same electrophoretic profile on pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis, indicating the persistence of bacterial clones in the systems over time. Conclusions NFGNB were observed in several dialysis water and dialysate samples from all investigated centres, which may represent a risk to the health of patients. Significance and Impact of the Study Regular inclusion of actions for NFGNB control and monitoring in haemodialysis fluids are suggested for greater safety of the dialytic process.

“…The clinical course of our patient identifies several unique characteristics of this infection in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients. Four out of the 5 reported patients had to have peritoneal dialysis catheter removal in order to eradicate the infection [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Also, 4 out of the 5 reported patients had eventual recovery, but 1 patient developed encapsulating sclerosing peritonitis (Table 1 ).…”

Gram-negative peritonitis in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients is difficult to treat and may result in catheter loss. Brevundimonas vesicularis is a Gram-negative rod bacterium which rarely causes infections in humans. A 41-year-old male receiving continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis for 5 months developed culture-negative peritonitis. He failed initial empiric treatment with intraperitoneal vancomycin and levofloxacin and thereafter intravenous gentamicin. B. vesicularis resistant to levofloxacin was isolated from the peritoneal fluid 21 days after his initial symptoms. Despite treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone and oral amoxicillin-clavulanate, the infection persisted, which required removal of the peritoneal catheter in order to cure this infection. We describe the features of B. vesicularis infection in our patient and the rarely reported additional cases.

O gênero Brevundimonas, inicialmente descrito como Corynebacterium vesiculare e posteriormente reclassificado como Pseudomonas diminuta e Pseudomonas vesicularis, constitui um grupo de bactérias Gram-negativas não fermentadoras. A Brevundimonas vesicularis, principais espécies, é uma bactéria aeróbica relacionada a infecções adquiridas em ambientes hospitalares, principalmente em pacientes imunocomprometidos. As características bacteriológicas incluem a produção de pigmentos solúveis em água, e a necessidade de fatores de crescimento específicos. O gênero é encontrado em diversos habitats, como solos, sedimentos marinhos e ambientes aquáticos. O estudo estabeleceu critérios temporais e linguísticos, pesquisando 84 artigos sobre B. vesicularis, das bases de dados PUBMED E LILACS. A análise organizou os textos, priorizando a relevância e o tratamento abordado. Após seleção rigorosa, 8 artigos foram incluídos. Em humanos, a B.vesicularis é reconhecida como um patógeno oportunista, causando infecções como bacteremia, infecção ocular, peritonite, infecção do trato urinário e infecção de pele. A resistência a antibióticos é variável, mas a literatura destaca a suscetibilidade à piperacilina, tazobactam, carbapenêmicos e aminoglicosídeos. No entanto, a resistência a diversas classes de antibióticos, incluindo cefalosporinas e fluoroquinolonas, foi relatada. Os casos de infecção por Brevundimonas são frequentemente associados a pacientes imunocomprometidos, sendo raros em pacientes imunocompetentes. A remoção de cateteres é uma medida comum de tratamento, e a escolha da terapia antimicrobiana varia de acordo com os resultados de testes de suscetibilidade. A falta de estudos avançados destaca a necessidade de compreender melhor os mecanismos de resistência e a eficácia de diferentes tratamentos para essa infecção emergente. A prevenção inclui a adoção de boas práticas de higiene em ambientes hospitalares.
