A Rare Case of Bacteriemia Due to Comamonas testosteroni
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comamonas testosteroni is a gram-negative, non-glucose fermenting, oxidase positive, motile bacillus. It accepted as low-virulent microorganism and rarely causes infections in humans. Survival at low nutrient conditions, ability to acquire resistance genes already found virulence factors make C. potential candidate be dangerous infectious agent, especially patients with predisposing factors. We report rare case of bacteriemia due isolated microorganism, testosteroni, male adult patient.

Comamonas testosteroni: Is It Still a Rare Human Pathogen?
Comamonas testosteroni (formally Pseudomonas testosteroni) is common environmental bacterium that is not part of the human microbiome. Since its identification as a human pathogen in 1987, numerous reports have drizzled in, implicating this organism for various infections. Although these organisms are of low virulence, some of their obscurity perhaps is due to the incapability of clinical labor...

AbstractFixed drug eruption (FDE) is a unique type of cutaneous drug reaction that typically recurs in the identical locations on re-exposure to the attributed drug. FDE is characterized by the appearance of a single or multiple sharply demarcated violaceous erythematous plaques which heal with residual hyperpigmentation.

متن کاملPolymicrobial Bacteremia Involving Comamonas testosteroni
Comamonas spp. are uncommon isolates in microbiology laboratories and have been rarely observed as an infectious agent in clinical practice. They have widespread environmental distribution and have been isolated from water, soil, and plants as well as from some hospital devices such as intravenous catheters and water contained in humidifier reservoirs used in respiratory treatment. The genus Co...
متن کاملSteroid degradation in Comamonas testosteroni.
Steroid degradation by Comamonas testosteroni and Nocardia restrictus have been intensively studied for the purpose of obtaining materials for steroid drug synthesis. C. testosteroni degrades side chains and converts single/double bonds of certain steroid compounds to produce androsta-1,4-diene 3,17-dione or the derivative. Following 9α-hydroxylation leads to aromatization of the A-ring accompa...
