Pseudomonas vesicularis bacteraemia

Abstract

A case of repeated episodes of Pseudomonas vesicularis bacteraemia, in a 54-year-old woman with a past history including systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic active autoimmune hepatitis is reported. She was treated with tobramycin and ceftazidime but bacteraemia persisted until surgical resection of the infected tissue was performed.

Invasive Brevundimonas vesicularis bacteremia: Two case reports and review of the literature

“…Isolated from both environmental and clinical specimens, 2,3 B. vesicularis is an aerobic, nonsporulating and glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative bacillus (GNB) with distinct nutritional requirements and biochemical characteristics. 4,5 The organism produces slow-growing and yellowpigmented colonies on blood and chocolate agar. 4e7 Although some authors have observed that the organism does not grow in MacConkey's agar, 4 longer incubation might reveal macroscopically-visible growth.…”

“…4,5 The organism produces slow-growing and yellowpigmented colonies on blood and chocolate agar. 4e7 Although some authors have observed that the organism does not grow in MacConkey's agar, 4 longer incubation might reveal macroscopically-visible growth. 6 Few reports of invasive infections caused by B. vesicularis exist in the literature.…”

A Rare Peritonitis Cause in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient: Brevundimonas diminuta: Case Report

“…4 Brevundimonas species are aerobic, non-sporulating, slender, motile, and nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli. 3,5,6 They are environmental organisms and they have a distribution all around the world. 3,5 These microorganisms have been isolated from water, soil, plants, and various clinical specimens.…”

“…3,5,6 They are environmental organisms and they have a distribution all around the world. 3,5 These microorganisms have been isolated from water, soil, plants, and various clinical specimens. However, they are also rarely isolated from the environment and from clinical specimens.…”

“…However, they are also rarely isolated from the environment and from clinical specimens. 3,[5][6][7][8] Human infections involving these organisms are rarely observed clinically. Reported cases are usually immunosupressed patients that involve cancer patients under treatment and have intravascular catheter.…”
