Posttraumatic Skin and Soft-Tissue Infection due toPseudomonas fulva

Abstract

We report a case of posttraumatic skin and soft-tissue infection in a patient with a left thigh wound after a traffic accident. Pseudomonas fulva was isolated from a wound aspirate and was identified to the species level by Maldi-tof. The patient responded to drainage, debridement of wound, and two weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy. Follow-up after 3 weeks was satisfactory with healthy cover of the injured area.

The occurrence of Salmonella, extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase producing Escherichia coli and carbapenem resistant non‐fermenting Gram‐negative bacteria in a backyard poultry flock environment

“…Moreover, the transmission of E. coli and other non-fermenting GNB such as Acinetobacter spp., and Pseudomonas spp from live birds or their products to people has been tangentially reported in the literature (Leahy, 2015;van den Bogaard et al, 2001). Occurrence and transmission of GNB from poultry to people is concerning because E. coli and several species of non-fermenting GNB including Acinetobacter baumannii, A. calcoaceticus, A. pittii, Pseudomonas putida, P. fulva, P. koreensis, Achromobacter spanius and A. piechaudii are being increasingly reported as a cause of opportunistic human infections especially in high-risk individuals including geriatric or paediatric populations and immunosuppressed individuals (Antunes, Visca, & Towner, 2014;Blossom & Srinivasan, 2008;Cobo, Jiménez, Rodríguez-Granger, & Sampedro, 2016;Coenye, Vancanneyt, Falsen, Swings, & Vandamme, 2003;Gomila et al, 2014;Kay, Clark, White, & Peel, 2001;Kim et al, 2012;Kiredjian, Holmes, Kersters, Guilvout, & Ley, 1986;Krause, Sohail, Patel, & Wittich, 2012;Li et al, 2018;Liu, Liu, Yu, Li, & Cao, 2014;Peel, Hibberd, King, & Williamson, 1988;Rebolledo et al, 2014;Scott et al, 2007;Spilker, Vandamme, & LiPuma, 2013;Wass, Syed-Ab-Rahman, Carvalhais, Ferguson, & Schenk, 2019;Whistler et al, 2019). Moreover, non-fermenting GNB can carry both acquired and intrinsic resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics and likely serve as reservoirs of MDR gene pool which may aid in persistence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (Argudin et al, 2017;Exner et al, 2017;Rolain, 2013).…”

Bacteremia in a human caused by an XDR strain of Pseudomonas fulva

“…To date, four cases of infections with P. fulva have been reported in humans together with an outbreak of 19 patients in China over 3 years in which the of source the bacteremia was identified as contaminated (insulin, isosorbide dinitrate, and potassium magnesium aspartate with 5% glucose) solutions [2]. The case reports regarded isolation of bacterium from sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis [3], from cerebral drainage of a case of meningitis [1], from the blood of a case of bacteremia [4] and from exudate from a soft tissue wound [5]. Infections with P. fulva are characterized by poor clinical outcomes: out of five cases including this case, only 2 patients survived.…”

Evaluation of Pseudomonas fulva PS9.1 and Bacillus velezensis NWUMFkBS10.5 as Candidate Plant Growth Promoters during Maize-Fusarium Interaction

“…In recent years the biosafety status of candidate plant growth-promoting organisms (PGPO) and biocontrol strains have become a topic of major concern [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Despite strain PS9.1’s beneficial properties [ 22 , 32 , 49 , 50 ], some of its genetically related strains have also been recognized as opportunistic pathogens in previous studies [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. Hence, PS9.1 can be considered a strain with overlapping biological impact, which poses a challenge for its use in planta.…”
