“…En la mayoría de los casos reportados, las infecciones producidas por Y. regensburgei han comprometido tejidos blandos, aunque también se ha encontrado en infecciones de las vías urinarias, en bacteriemias y en artritis, así como en muestras provenientes de las vías respiratorias y del tubo digestivo de humanos (1,4,5,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). En el caso que se describe, se aisló en muestras de hueso y de la colección líquida en tejidos blandos en las zonas epidural y subdural, las cuales se tomaron mediante procedimiento quirúrgico bajo condiciones estériles, lo que hace poco probable una contaminación.…”

Osteomielitis por Yokenella regensburgei luego de craneotomía en una paciente inmunocompetente

et al. 2015

Yokenella regensburgei es un bacilo Gram negativo de la familia Enterobacteriaceae, que puede encontrarse en agua de pozos, alimentos y en el tubo digestivo de insectos y reptiles. Aunque se ha aislado de muestras provenientes de seres humanos, pocas veces se ha reportado como causante de infección y, en tales casos, especialmente en pacientes inmunosuprimidos. Se presenta aquí el primer caso de osteomielitis secundaria a una infección por Y. regensburgei en una paciente inmunocompetente después de un procedimiento quirúrgico.Palabras clave: Enterobacteriaceae, osteomielitis. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v35i4.2719 Osteomyelitis due to Yokenella regensburgei following craniotomy in an immunocompetent patientThe gram-negative bacillus Yokenella regensburgei (of the Enterobacteriaceae family) can be found in groundwater and foodstuffs, as well as the digestive tracts of insects and reptiles. Although it has been isolated from humans since its original description, it has rarely been reported as a cause of infection, and then, only in immunosuppressed patients. We report the first case of post-surgical secondary osteomyelitis due to Y. regensburgei in an immunocompetent woman who had undergone a craniotomy.

“…It belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae [8] and it is biochemically similar to the bacterium Hafnia Alvei with their difference being that H. alvei is resistant to colistin and VP negative whereas Y. regensburgei has the opposite characteristics [9]. The National Institutes of Health in Japan identified it as NIH biogroup 9 and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention as enteric group 45, proposing the name Koserella trabulsii.…”

Yokenella regensburgei of the family Enterobacteriaceae is a rare clinical isolate. Only six infection cases in humans have been reported previous to the present. We report a case of infectious diarrhea with sepsis symptoms in a 17 year old patient with Y. regensburgei.difference being that H. alvei is resistant to colistin and VogesProskauer Test (VP) negative, whereas Y. regensburgei has the opposite characteristics [8,9]. The National Institutes of Health in Japan identified Y. regensburgei as NIH biogroup 9 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta as enteric group 45, proposing the name Koserella trabulsii. The name Yokenella regensburgei proposed by Kosako et al. [1] finally prevailed over K. trabulsii [1,2]. The bacterium has been isolated from intestinal tracks of insects and reptiles, well water and salad [7] as well as from the following human anatomical sites: blood [6], faecal samples [8], upper respiratory tract, urine [2,3] and knee fluid [9,10]. The small number of the cases reported with Y.regensburgei as a pathogen is responsible for the shortage of epidemiological and clinical information. Here we present a case from Y.regensburgei which is to our current knowledge the first case reported in Greece. Case ReportA 17-year old male athlete was transported to General Hospital of Messolonghi from the community Health Centre of Astakos with 6-7 daily episodes of diarrhea, fever up to 39.8 o C and chills. The patient reported that these smptoms emerged three days before his arrival to the Health Centre of Astakos, three hours after physical exercise and that the fever would not subside with the consumption of paracetamol and mefenamic acid. He arrived to General Hospital of Messolonghi on the fourth day of the symptoms. Physical examination with deep palpation of abdomen showed sensitivity in the entire abdominal wall and increased bowel sounds. A systemic examination revealed nothing of note. Patient's medical history showed only cefuroxime allergy. His vital signs were: blood pressure 135/60 mm/Hg, pulse rate 105/ min, Oxygen Saturation (SO2) 98% and body temperature 39.0°C. Upper and lower abdominal sonography results were normal. Laboratory examination showed leukocytosis (WBC 13, ), neutrophilia (76.7%, normal range 40-74%), absolute neutrophil count 10,180/mml -3 , lymphocytes 11.8% (19-48%), monocytes 7% (3.4-9%), eosinophils 1.5% (0-7%), increased CReactive Protein (CRP) 18.76 mg/dl (0-0.8mg/dl), hemoglobin 14,2 mg dl -1 and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 78,5fL. The rest of the biochemical test results (glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, bilirubin, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transainase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase (G-GT), amylase, albumin, total serum protein, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) , total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, Iron (Fe), immunoglobulin igG, igM and IgA) were normal. ...
