Roseomonas mucosa bacteremia in a neutropenic child: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Roseomonas species is rarely found to be pathogenic to humans and there are few clinical cases that have been described in the literature. We report a case of Roseomonas mucosa bacteremia that involved a 9-year-old Japanese boy who was in a condition of febrile neutropenia caused by chemotherapy for cerebellar medulloblastoma. Conventional phenotyping failed to identify the organism; however, genetic analysis using 16S rDNA sequencing confirmed the pathogen to be R. mucosa. The patient recovered following trea… Show more

“…However, bacteria of the genera Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Delfita, Roseomonas, and Rhodocyclaceae were more common in KD samples than in control samples. These bacteria are water-and soil-associated bacteria and representative of the contaminating sequence; however, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Delfita, and Roseomonas, which exist as normal flora in the skin, oral tract, or intestine, might be able to induce bloodstream infections in immunocompromised patients [23][24][25][26]. They could also possibly enter the bloodstream and stimulate the immune system of immunocompetent children and trigger KD.…”

“…Roseomonas mucosa , a member of the human microbiota, topically used in a small sample of adult patients with AD, led to a reduction in dermatitis severity, reduced use of corticosteroids, and colonization by S. aureus [ 225 ]. It is worth noting that the exclusion criteria of the study included diagnosed immunodeficiency, heart valve disease, and/or an indwelling catheter, as case reports of endocarditis and bacteremia have been reported in immunocompromised patients [ 226 , 227 , 228 ]. Thus, this issue should be taken into account by clinicians when considering topical therapy in patients.…”

“…Rosemonas mucosa has been associated with infection in different hosts immunocompetent and immunocompromised manifesting as peritonitis, bacteremia, catheter-related bacteremia, endophthalmitis, spondylitis [1][2][3][4][5][6], one case by Shao et al reported a case of infective endocarditis in a patient with lupus [7]. Its resistance to cephalosporins including cefepime makes it a health problem that needs to be identified promptly to prevent the development of complications related to infection.…”
