“…Due to the close phylogenetic relatedness between Chryseomonas and Pseudomonas, this bacterium was reassigned to the genus Pseudomonas as Pseudomonas luteola (1). Currently, some authors still call the organism Chryseomonas luteola while others refer to it as Pseudomonas luteola (1,6,11,17).…”

“…In a study from Tanzania that investigated extended spectrum beta-lactamases among gram-negative bacteria of nosocomial origin, P. luteola was reported as a nosocomial pathogen in 1 patient in an intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital (4). In this study, we reviewed all cases of infection related to P. luteola from 1988 to date (Table 4) (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Of the reported cases of P. luteola, bacteremia was the most common infection.…”

SUMMARY: Pseudomonas luteola has rarely been reported as a human pathogen. The clinical manifestations of P. luteola bacteremia and its susceptibility to antibiotics have not been characterized. This retrospective study was conducted at a 382-bed tertiary care center in Turkey. During the 9-year study period, 7 patients (5 females and 2 males) were diagnosed with P. luteola bacteremia. Six of these patients had hospital-acquired bacteremia, whereas 1 patient had community-acquired P. luteola infection. All patients had monomicrobial bacteremia. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that all strains of P. luteola were sensitive to amikacin, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and meropenem, and that all strains were resistant to piperacillin-tazobactam, aztreonam, and colistin. In conclusion, we believe that P. luteola can cause both community-and hospital-acquired bacteremia. Amikacin, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and meropenem were effective against P. luteola in the present study.

“…luteola is an aerobic, motile, nonspore-forming gramnegative rod, ubiquitous in water and soil, which produces a characteristic yellow pigment. 7 First described by Tatum and coworkers in 1974, 8 it has been reported in few publications [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] as the causing agent mainly of bloodstream infections associated with intravenous indwelling catheters, prosthetic valve endocarditis, foreign bodies, pancreatitis, and cutaneous abscesses. Rarely, nonbacteremic cases have been described as postneurosurgical infections, fatal meningitis, peritonitis complicating appendicitis or peritoneal dialysis catheters, femur abscess, subphrenic abscess, endolphalmitis, facial cellulitis, leg ulcer in a patient with sickle disease, and hand infection.…”
