617: A Second Reported Fatal Case of Pseudomonas Putida Septicemia From Soft Tissue Infection

Pseudomonas putida is an uncommon cause of bacteremia, that usually seeds from multiple sources including soft tissues. Immunocompromised states predispose patients to fulminant infections, and sometimes death. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as fourth-generation cephalosporins, are usually indicated for treatment. Herein, we present a 71-year-old gentleman with fever and left leg swelling, found to have P. putida bacteremia. Intravenous (IV) ceftazidime was initiated, yielding clearance of blood cultures and clinical improvement.
