Abstract
Roseomonas is a pink-pigmented, nonfermentative, oxidative, Gram-negative coccobacilli that has clinical importance as opportunistic pathogen which can lead to infections especially in immunosuppressed individuals. It is relatively less reported in many centers. These microorganisms are detected after several days growth in culture environment, and typical pink, mucoid colonies are detected. We are reported a case of cranioplasty infection that took place in a patient with with cranial abscess formation due to Roseomonas gilardii at Izmir University School of Medicine Medicalpark Hospital.
Highlights
Gilardi and Faur showed a new group of pink-pigmented nonfermentative bacteria and it was defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to indicate these bacteriae in 1984 [1]
The clinical importance of these isolates is an essential issue in individuals with underlying disorders such as cancer and diabetes and in a study that reviewed of 35 cases from which Roseomonas strains were isolated, 60% were found to be related with disease [5]
We are reported a case of wound infection that took place in a patient with with cranial abscess formation due to Roseomonas gilardii at Izmir University School of Medicine Medicalpark Hospital
Summary
Gilardi and Faur showed a new group of pink-pigmented nonfermentative bacteria and it was defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to indicate these bacteriae in 1984 [1]. Most infections due to Roseomonas spp. are detected in patients with central venous catheters and underlying disorders It is less reported in many hospitals because of having little experience in identification and less clinicians dealing with these infections [2,3]. They are detected after several days of growth in culture environment, characteristic pink, mucoid colonies are observed [4]. We are reported a case of wound infection that took place in a patient with with cranial abscess formation due to Roseomonas gilardii at Izmir University School of Medicine Medicalpark Hospital.
