Peritonitis causada por Pantoea agglomerans en diálisis peritoneal

Pantoea abscess mimicking sarcoma in a HTLV‐1‐infected Indigenous Australian man: Case report and literature review

“…Sporadic adult and pediatric cases were seen in equal proportions, with immunocompetent patients greatly outnumbering their immunocompromised counterparts. Bacteraemia, 14–36 followed by skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), 31,32,37–42 were the commonest manifestations of Pantoea infection, but the range of syndromes was wide, including peritonitis, 32,43–52 bone and joint infection, 32,53–60 intra‐abdominal abscess, 61–63 pneumonia, 31,64 urinary tract infection, 31,32 ocular infection, 65–71 and rhinosinusitis 72 . One case each of endocarditis, 15 prosthetic joint infection, 55 and post‐neurosurgical meningitis 73 was also reported, as were four cases of neonatal sepsis 74,75 .…”

Pantoea agglomerans: A rare infectious outbreak affecting maintenance hemodialysis patients in a tertiary care hospital

“…Recent data published 1 has revealed a growing trend of catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), particularly those caused by gram‐negative bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family. One such bacteria is Pantoea agglomerans (formerly described as Erwinia agglomerans ), a facultative, aerobic, gram‐negative bacteria 2 that infrequently causes human infection. This bacteria is primarily found in environmental sources such as soil, animals, and plant materials like fruits and vegetables 3 .…”

“…It is an opportunistic pathogen primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals 2,5 such as patients with malignancies, 6,7 chronic renal insufficiency, valvular heart disease, and chronic transplant recipients 8,9 . In addition to this, contamination of various medical products such as intravenous fluids, 10 blood, 11 parenteral nutrition solution, 5 anesthetic agents, 12 and anticoagulants 13 have also been reported as sources of infection.…”

“…Currently, there are limited studies on the occurrence of P. agglomerans infections in the dialysis population, with most focusing on peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients 2,23 . To the best of our knowledge, only two published editorial letters have described this unusual infection in the hemodialysis population, with one indicating that hemodialysis circuits and water drains were the sources of contamination 24 and the other pointing to central venous catheters as the predominant source of infection 3 .…”
