Description of the First Case of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Due To Pantoea eucrina in a Cancer Patient

Abstract: We describe here the first case of catheter-related bloodstream infection due to Pantoea eucrina in a 23-year-old female patient with colon adenocarcinoma and congenital hypogammaglobulinemia. In May 2018, she was admitted for fever and abdominal pain. Blood cultures withdrawn from peripheral inserted central catheter and periphery revealed the presence of Pantoea eucrina, with differential time of positivity in favor of catheter-related bloodstream infection. Catheter was removed and antibiotic started, with … Show more

“…Furthermore, they likely serve an important ecological function, as they were especially active against environmental pathogenic strains, such as Vibrio mediterranei and Aurantimonas coralicida, which have been implicated in several diseases of marine organisms [60,61]. In addition, pathogenic bacteria Pantoea eucrina and Rhodococcus corynebacterioides infections have been reported in humans [62,63].…”

“…The symptoms are inflammation or synovium of the joints, inflammation inside the eyeball, of the periosteum, of endocardium (the lining of the heart cavity), and of bones and bone marrow (Cruz et al 2007). Another important reason for clinical infection by P. agglomerans may be contact of hospitalized people with contaminated medical equipment, such as intravenous catheters or various types of fluids (Lotte et al 2019). Some authors believe that although human infections with this bacterium are rare, they can cause serious illness and even mortality, especially in young patients with comorbidities (Büyükcam et al 2018).…”

“…P. ananatis causes severe loss of pineapple, corn, rice, onion, and eucalyptus in plant hosts, and can cause bacteremia in humans [11,12]. P. dispersa and P. eucrina can cause diseases in plant hosts (rice and cotton) as well as bacteremia in humans [13][14][15][16]. In addition, the widely studied P. agglomerans have a greater pathogenic ability to infect a wide range of hosts in plants, animals, and humans [17].…”
