“…It usually causes infection in immunocompromised patients and those with permanent catheters. It has been reported as the causative agent in cases of bacteremia, peritonitis, pneumonia, empyema, pyelonephritis, cystitis, meningitis, and central venous catheterrelated infections [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Herein, we present a patient who had a urinary catheter, was scheduled for a urological procedure, and whose urine culture yielded C. indologenes.…”

“…Similarly, Bayraktar et al [5] demonstrated that bacterial infection was caused by contaminated distilled water in a hospitalized patient in whom C. indologenes was isolated in blood culture. Cases of bacteremia, meningitis, and tracheobronchitis associated with C. indologenes have been reported previously in Turkey, but no urinary tract infections [1,3,[6][7][8] .…”

Chry.se.o.bac.te'ri.um. Gr. adj. chryseos golden; L. neut. n. bacterium a small rod; N.L. neut. n. Chryseobacterium a yellow rod. Bacteroidetes / Flavobacteriia / Flavobacteriales / Flavobacteriaceae / Chryseobacterium The genus Chryseobacterium is classified within the family Flavobacteriaceae , order Flavobacteriales , and in the class Flavobacteriia . Almost all species produce pale yellow to orange colonies, mainly due to flexirubin‐type pigments and sometimes carotenoid pigments. Cells are rod shaped and Gram‐staining‐negative. Most strains grow optimally at 15–30°C, pH 6–8, and 0–1% (w/v) NaCl, although halotolerant species do occur. Almost all species are strictly aerobic. Menaquinone‐6 is the major respiratory quinone. Phosphatidylethanolamine is the major polar lipid in most species. sym ‐homospermidine is the major polyamine, and phosphosphingolipids are absent. The major fatty acids are iso‐C 15:0 , iso‐C 17:1 ω9 c , iso‐C 17:0 3‐OH, and iso‐C 15:0 2‐OH. The type strains from most species were isolated from environmental sources such as fresh or seawater, or soil. Other sources include insects, plant rhizosphere, biofilms, surfaces in beer bottling plants, and other industrial sources. Human clinical specimens and hospital environments have yielded certain species as well as unclassified strains, but it is often unclear if they are direct pathogens, opportunistic pathogens, or mere contaminants. Similarly, Chryseobacterium isolates have been derived from both healthy and diseased fish. Several species occur in food or dairy products; they may be involved in spoilage. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 28.8–49.3. Type species : Chryseobacterium gleum (Holmes, Owen, Steigerwalt and Brenner 1984b) Vandamme, Bernardet, Segers, Kersters and Holmes 1994, 830 VP ( Flavobacterium gleum Holmes, Owen, Steigerwalt and Brenner 1984b, 23).

Chryseobacterium indologenes: an emerging infection in the USA

Nursing home-associated infections and antibiotic resistant pathogens constitute common and serious problems in the geriatric population.Chryseobacterium indologenes, a non-motile Gram-negative rod, though widely distributed in nature, is an uncommon human pathogen. Typically thought of as an organism of low virulence, it may cause serious infections, particularly among the immunocompromised. The majority of reported cases are nosocomial, often associated with immunosuppression or indwelling catheters. It has been reported as the causative agent in bacteraemia, peritonitis, pneumonia, empyema, pyelonephritis, cystitis, meningitis and central venous catheter-associated infections. We report a rare case of C. indologenesinfection affecting a nursing home resident in the USA and we provide a review of similar cases. This report emphasises the importance of individualised treatment and promotes awareness about this organism as one of several emerging pathogens in immunocompromised adults and in the frail elderly who are often nursing home residents, in the Western Hemisphere.
