Kronik Böbrek Yetmezlikli Hastadan Nadir Bir Peritonit Etkeni Olarak İzole Edilen Pantoea agglomerans Olgusu

Abstract

Pantoea agglomerans, formerly known as Enterobacter agglomerans, is a facultative anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus and form yellow-pigmented colonies on culture media. It is an environmental microorganism, commonly found in soil, water, plants and food and can colonize in gastrointestinal system of humans. Although quite rare, P. agglomerans can cause wound infections, soft tissue or joint infections and nosocomial infections such as bacteriemia, pneumonia, septic arthritis, urinary tract infections, peritonitis, surgical wound infections and catheter related infections especially in immunocompromised patients. In this case report, we present a case of recurrent infections caused by P. agglomerans in a female chronic renal failure patient.
