Primera identificación en Ecuador de Comamonas kerstersii como agente infeccioso

Abstract: Comunicamos la primera identificación en Ecuador del microorganismo Comamonas kerstersii, cepa aislada a partir de una muestra de líquido de la cavidad abdominal e identificada mediante la técnica de espectrometría de masas MALDITOF. Fue obtenida durante el acto quirúrgico de un paciente con el diagnóstico de una peritonitis aguda, secundaria a una apendicitis perforada. Este microorganismo es considerado un patógeno poco común. Pese a que el género al que pertenece tiene una amplia distribución geográfica, es… Show more

“…For a long time, C. kerstersii has been considered to be non-pathogenic to humans[ 1 ]. However, since the first human infection of C. kerstersii was reported in 2013, more reports of C. kerstersii related infections have been emerging[ 2 , 3 , 5 - 12 ]. Thus far, 26 Cases of C. kerstersii have been reported in the literature, of which three were patients with bacteremia[ 3 ].…”

Furthermore, an uncommon case of a 5-year-old girl with urinary tract infection caused by C. kerstersii has been published in 2018[ 9 ].…”

“…En 2020 se efectuó el primer informe de caso de infección apendicular en Ecuador, este, sumado a los escasos reportes alrededor del mundo, supuso un desafío en el personal involucrado, es por esta razón que a continuación se pretende explorar acerca de la bacteria C. kerstersii como patógeno en seres humanos, con el objetivo de proporcionar una base para futuras investigaciones, por medio de análisis de la evidencia existente (Farfán-Cano et al, 2020).…”
