“…These not only confer antibiotic resistance but also facilitate the transmission of antimicrobial resistance elements to other bacteria, increasing the risk of rapid development into polymicrobial bacteremia or septicemia [6]. Earlier, Gorret et al reported a patient treated empirically with gentamicin and cloxacillin, later shifting to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone after surgery [10]. In our study (cases 2, 3, and 4), invasive procedures were performed, and ceftriaxone was administered.…”

“…A few reported cases of S. fonticola associated with human infection were reported in the medical literature. These cases include various infections such as urinary tract infections [3,5], emphysematous pyelonephritis [6], endocarditis [7], skin infections in the diabetic foot [8], biliary tract infection [9], infection complicating parotid malignant tumors [10], cerebellar abscess [11], knee septic arthritis [12], bloodstream infections [4,12], and even an infection following a bear bite [13]. The instances described here demonstrate how S. fonticola, which is often thought of as an opportunistic disease, can produce serious and delayed infections that demand several aggressive surgeries and broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment.…”

A rare human pathogen, Serratia fonticola ( S. fonticola ) has previously been found to cause skin and soft tissue infections post-trauma. The literature contains limited information regarding its management or sensitivity patterns. We aim to share our findings on S. fonticola infections in an area with a high rate of antibiotic resistance. To draw attention to this uncommon and rare infection, we share a case series of S. fonticola . The antibiogram revealed that S. fonticola in all our cases was multidrug resistant. Two of our five cases had a prior history of road traffic accidents and yielded polymicrobial infections along with S. fonticola . The other two were revived successfully with proper antibiotic treatment, though one had glucose-6-phosphate deficiency (G6PD) and the last one was a neonate with pulmonary hypertension who grew S. fonticola in blood culture.

Intramuscular granular cell tumor in the sternocleidomastoid muscle: A case report and literature review

et al. 2022

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm that originates from Schwann cells. Most cases occur in the subcutaneous or submucosal regions, and intramuscular GCT is even more uncommon. Herein, we describe an atypical GCT growing in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A 41-year-old Chinese man was admitted to our hospital for a right neck mass. In magnetic resonance images, the mass showed higher signal intensity than the adjacent normal muscle on T2-weighted images and intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images. Slightly enhanced and higher signal intensity was observed in the peripheral rim on contrast-enhanced fat-sat T1-weighted images, and the “stripe sign” was evident. The tumor was completely resected, and pathological examination indicated an atypical GCT. The patient tolerated the procedure well. This is a rare case report of an intramuscular GCT from diagnosis to treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging might help diagnose such tumors, and we review different magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of intramuscular GCTs at other sites.
