Abstract: Sphingomonas paucimobilis is a strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming Gram-negative bacillus, ubiquitous bacterium, thought to be an opportunistic pathogen and is rarely reported in clinical settings. Here in, is the first case report of Acute Sphingomonas phlebitis secondary to intravenous (IV) drug use. We present the case of a 39-year-old male who initially presented with pain in his right upper extremity, fevers and chills of three week duration. He admitted to regularly injecting heroin in his distal right u… Show more

“…The genus Sphingomonas widely distributed in the nature, soil and water including the water sources in the hospital environment, contains at least more than 30 species, which of only paucimobilis is an occasional pathogen. Currently, there are more than 30 species with validly published names in the genus S. sensustricto [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Sphingomonas are ubiquitous bacteria that have been reported to be found in water (i.e. the pipes, bathtubs, distilled water, sea water, sea ice, river water, mineral water, haemodialysis fluid, ultrapure distilled water systems) the space shuttles and dental irrigation systems, nebulizers and hospital water systems and have colonised invertebrates collected from these water distribution systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Sphingomonas species have been linked to the death of coral reefs off the coast of Florida and some species are phytopathogenic such as Sphingomonas meloni [7].…”
