“…This indicates that, in terms of preventing mortality in immunocompromised individuals, more attention should be devoted to the contamination of water resources and the usage of tap water. Remarkably, 82 (46%) of 178 patients reported in previous studies were from Turkey (2,11,17,24,25,27,33,36). It's also worth noting that the…”

“…Sphingomonas paucimobilis is an aerobic, nonfermentative, opportunistic Gram-negative bacilli, which often produces yellow pigments on blood agar (1)(2)(3). S. paucimobilis displays low virulence with its different glycosphingolipid structure in cell wall, lack of lipopolysaccharide components and endotoxic activity therefore infections in humans are very rare (1).…”

“…Previous reports showed that S. paucimobilis can cause infections in both immunocompromised and previously healthy individuals (22,25,28,32). However, all but one of the patients who died due to S. paucimobilis infections were reported to have a comorbid disease that would affect the immune system (1,2,4,36,32). This indicates that, in terms of preventing mortality in immunocompromised individuals, more attention should be devoted to the contamination of water resources and the usage of tap water.…”

“…Some countries, such as Turkey and Taiwan, should be particularly cautious when it comes to S. paucimobilis because of the high temperatures throughout the summer months. Table 2 shows detailed demographic information about the patients, as well as the infection's focus (1,2,4,5,8,11,12,15,17,20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39).…”

Sphingomonas paucimobilis is an aerobic, nonfermentative, opportunistic Gram-negative bacilli, and can be found in water systems. This study was conducted for analyzing concurrent S. paucimobilis bacteraemia cases and treatment outcomes, investigation of potential outbreak sources, and antimicrobial resistance profiles. This was an ambidirectional cohort study conducted in a 30-bed pediatric haematology/oncology hospital. Patient ages ranged from 1 to 17 years, with a median age of 5 years. Environmental sampling for outbreak source investigation was applied. Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests of isolated bacteria were done using the disk diffusion method and the Vitek®2 automated system. S. paucimobilis was detected in a total of 181 blood culture samples of 51 patients over two years and was isolated from hot tap water. 66% of patients were followed up with the diagnosis of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and two of our patients with ALL died due to S. paucimobilis sepsis. S. paucimobilis isolates were generally susceptible to carbapenems and quinolones.Surveillance and epidemic control should be done for hospital-acquired infectious agents such as S. paucimobilis. Water distribution systems should be checked against colonizing agents at regular intervals.

Introduction: Bacterial meningitis is a severe acute infection of the central nervous system that caused by bacteria.The antibiotic should be given immediately. An appropriate antibiotic may reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by bacterial meningitis. This study aims to evaluate the bacterial pattern and antibiotic sensitivity in children bacterial meningitis at tertiary hospital in Denpasar. Material and methods: This retrospective descriptive study was using a cross-sectional design that involved pediatric patients aged 1 month-18 years old with suspected bacterial meningitis who underwent a lumbar puncture at Sanglah Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. The diagnosis of bacterial meningitis was made based on cerebrospinal fluid culture and antibiotic sensitivity test. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling method and would be excluded if the medical record was incomplete. Results: There were ninety five pediatric patients treated with suspected meningitis. Thirty-three subjects had positive cerebrospinal fluid culture results with eight of them were contaminants. The proportion of bacterial meningitis was 26.3%. Bacterial meningitis was more common in children younger less than two years old (72%) compare with older children. The most gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus sp. while for gram-negative was Acinetobacter sp. and Sphingomonas paucimobilis. Vancomycin had a high sensitivity (92.8%) for gram-positive therapy, while for gram-negative it was cephalosporin drug which is ceftriaxone and cefepime (63.6%). Conclusion: Ceftriaxone as the main choice of empiric therapy still has high sensitivity to gram-negative bacteria but low sensitivity to gram-positive bacteria.
