“…P. mendocina has a ubiquitous nature which is supported by the large geographic spread of the case reports. Of the 13 reported cases, 6 were reported from Asia (Taiwan [2,3], Singapore [4]), 3 cases were reported from Europe (Portugal [5], Denmark [6], France [7]), 2 cases were reported from the Middle East (Turkey [8], Israel [9]), 1 case was reported from North America (USA [10]), and 1 case was reported from South America (Argentina [11]). The majority type of infection were 5 cases of native valve endocarditis (35%), 4 cases of meningitis, 2 cases of bacteremia, 2 cases of skin and soft tissue infections (spondylodiscitis, foot wound), and 1 case of peritonitis.…”

“…Positive markers of inflammation were present in several cases including elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), estimated sedimentation rate (ESR), and leukocytosis. Elevated CRP levels ranged from 16 to 233.6 mg/L [4,5,9–11]. Elevated ESR ranged from 33 to 105 mm/hr [4,5,9–11].…”

Patient: Male, 64 Final Diagnosis: Pseudomonas mendocina bacteremia Symptoms: Encephalopathy • fever • hypotension • rigors • tachypnea Medication: — Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Infectious Diseases Objective: Rare disease Background: Pseudomonas mendocina is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae. In nature, P. mendocina has been isolated from water and soil samples. The species rarely causes disease in humans though severe infections resulting in hospitalization and intensive care have been documented. This case is perhaps the second reported case in the United States of a P. mendocina related infection. In this case report, we analyze the clinical and laboratory features of P. mendocina infection in a severely immunocompromised acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient and review the available literature. Case Report: A 64-year-old white male with past medical history significant for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS (CD 4 count on admission <10 cells/mm 3 ) diagnosed in 1988 and on antiretroviral therapy since 1992, was admitted to our facility for acute management of a suspected invasive mold infection. On hospital day 20 the patient developed a fever of 39.9°C, had an elevated lactate of 2.6 mmol/L and absolute neutrophil count greater than 1000 cells/mm 3 . On hospital day 22, both blood culture sets were positive for Pseudomonas mendocina . Antibiotic therapy was de-escalated to ceftazidime and after a total treatment course of 10 days the was successfully discharged. Conclusions: There have been 14 reported cases of P. mendocina in the world. Four cases presented with meningitis and 5 with endocarditis. Beyond typical anti-pseudomonal agents, 2 of the reported cases show susceptibility of P. mendocina antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and ceftriaxone. All documented case reports of P. mendocina infection resulted in successful treatment with antibiotics and survival of the patient.

Pseudomonas mendocina is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium that belongs in the family Pseudomonadaceae and has been isolated from water and soil. Even though it is thought to cause infections quite rarely in humans, it can cause severe infections even in immunocompetent individuals. The aim of this study was to systemically review all cases of human infection by P. mendocina in the literature and describe their epidemiology, microbiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, treatment and outcomes. Thus, a systematic review of PubMed for studies providing epidemiological, clinical, microbiological as well as treatment data and outcomes of Pseudomonas mendocina infections was conducted. In total, 12 studies, containing data of 16 patients, were included. The commonest P. mendocina infections were infective endocarditis, central nervous system infections and skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Fever was the main presenting symptom, while sepsis was evident in almost half the patients. Pseudomonas mendocina was susceptible to most antibiotics tested. Mortality was low in all different infection types. Third or fourth generation cephalosporins and quinolones are the commonest agents used for treatment, irrespectively of the infection site.
