“…Contact with a pathogen does not always lead to disease, as various factors are involved, including as the immune status of the patient. Indeed, Pantoea agglomerans tends to cause nosocomial infections in immunodepressed, elderly and dialysis patients [39]. In addition, in some cases, a patient could have been infected but there might have been no laboratory evidence: naturally, not all the patients in the hospital had bloodwork done for Pantoea agglomerans.…”

Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative bacterium that infrequently infects humans. Most reports involving it are about infections in soft tissues or bone/joint infections caused by contamination from soil or penetrating trauma by vegetation, such as thorns and splinters. More frequently, it is found as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. It is not rare to find reports of bacteremia and sepsis from contamination of intravenous fluid, parenteral nutrition, blood products and anesthetic agents—that is, through contamination of medical devices and products. We reported a bacterial infection epidemic occurred in 2011 in a hospital in middle Italy which involved different hospital wards; Pantoea agglomerans was isolated from blood cultures of all infected patients and the source of infection was identified in contaminated parenteral nutrition prepared from the local pharmacy.

Species of Pantoea are mainly environmental strains and plant pathogens, rarely causing human infections. Here, we describe two cases of hemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Pantoea in patients with uremia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of catheter related bloodstream infection caused by Pantoea dispersa ( P. dispersa ) in hemodialysis patients, as well as the first case of bloodstream infection caused by Pantoea anthophila ( P. anthophila ). Multiple blood cultures from the catheter showed the presence of Pantoea , and the isolated P. dispersa and P. anthophila were found to be highly sensitive to various antibiotics. Prompt use of antibiotics and catheter lock with gentamicin or amikacin led to rapid recovery of the patients, avoiding the economic burden of catheter replacement. Infections caused by Pantoea might be underestimated as methods such as VITEK ® MS system often result in misidentification. Therefore, we recommend using advanced techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) or 16S ribosomal RNA analysis to detect more cases of Pantoea infections. By sharing these cases, we hope to increase awareness among clinicians about the potential pathogenicity of Pantoea in hemodialysis patients. It is crucial to strengthen noting the primary concern for sources of infection with Pantoea species (plant and environmental exposures) to prevent outbreaks of Pantoea -related bloodstream infections in hospitals.
