“…From this case, we can suspect that the strain may have some genetic mutation, which would make it more virulent and invasive to infect humans. Latest, reseachers found a novel specie of the genus Vogesella with the name Vogesella urethralis, isolated from human urine [10]. Interestingly, Vogesella urethralis was also wrongly identified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis by Vitek-2 system with GN identification card and failed to obtain an acceptable identification by the Vitek MS system [10].…”

Interestingly, Vogesella urethralis was also wrongly identified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis by Vitek-2 system with GN identification card and failed to obtain an acceptable identification by the Vitek MS system [10]. Then the researchers also used 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis to identify the strain and finally revealed that the isolate was Vogesella urethralis, with the highest similarities to V. perlucida DS-28 T (98.8%) and V. mureinivorans 389 T (98.1%).…”

“…Vogesella species belong to the family Neisseriaceae, order Neisseriales, class Betaproteobacteria, mainly characterized as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic and chemoheterotrophic bacteria [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. So far as we know, there are no reported cases of human disease caused by Vogesella species.…”

“…So far as we know, there are no reported cases of human disease caused by Vogesella species. Although Vogesella urethralis has been isolated from human urine, its pathogenicity has not been reported [10]. Vogesella perlucida was first described in 2008 when it was discovered from water samples collected from a spring located in Tainan County, Taiwan [2].…”

Background Vogesella species are common aquatic, Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria, originally described in 1997. Vogesella perlucida was first isolated from spring water in 2008. Furthermore, bacterial pathogenicity of Vogesella perlucida has never been reported. Here, we report the first case of rare Vogesella perlucida-induced bacteremia in an advanced-age patient with many basic diseases and history of dexamethasone abuse. Case presentation A 71-year-old female was admitted with inflamed upper and lower limbs, rubefaction, pain and fever (about 40 °C). She had been injured in a fall at a vegetable market and then touched river snails with her injury hands. A few days later, soft tissue infection of the patient developed and worsened. Non-pigmented colonies were isolated from blood cultures of the patient. Initially, Vogesella perlucida was wrongly identified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis by Vitek-2 system with GN card. Besides, we failed to obtain an acceptable identification by the MALDI-TOF analysis. Finally, the isolated strain was identified as Vogesella perlucida by 16S rRNA gene sequences. In addition, the patient recovered well after a continuous treatment of levofloxacin for 12 days. Conclusion Traditional microbiological testing system may be inadequate in the diagnosis of rare pathogenic bacteria. Applications of molecular diagnostics techniques have great advantages in clinical microbiology laboratory. By using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, we report the the first case of rare Vogesella perlucida-induced bacteremia.

“…It is interesting that the BD PhoenixTM M 50 did not provide accurate results. A previous study reported that Vogesella urethralis and Vogesella perlucida have been misidenti ed as Shingomonas paucimobilis by the Vitek-2 system with GN card in the past (BioMérieux Inc., France) [2,3]. These researchers also used 16S rRNA gene sequences to identify the causative organism as automatic identi cation susceptibility instruments, including the BD PhoenixTM M 50, API 20NE, and Vitek-2 system, without a database of rare organisms.…”

Background: Vogesella species are common aquatic Gram-negative rods first reported in 1997. Vogesella urethralis bacterium was first isolated from human urine in 2020. Only one case of Vogesella species-caused disease has been reported; however, no case of Vogesella urethralis-caused disease has been reported. Here, we report a case of aspiration pneumonia and bacteremia caused by Vogesella urethralis. Case presentation: An 82-year-old male patient was admitted with dyspnea, increased sputum production, and hypoxia. Gram-negative rods were isolated from blood and sputum cultures from the patient. He was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and bacteremia. Initially, Vogesella urethralis was wrongly identified as Comamonas testosteroni using fully automated susceptibility testing; however, additional 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified it as Vogesella urethralis. The patient was treated with piperacillin and tazobactam. Unfortunately, he developed aspiration pneumonia again and passed away during hospitalization. Conclusion: Since no database exists for rare bacteria in traditional clinical microbiology laboratories, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was considered useful. We report the first case of Vogesella urethralis-induced aspiration pneumonia and bacteremia.
