Edwardsiella tarda bacteremia with metastatic gastric cancer
Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) is a rare human pathogen; however, the overall mortality of bacteremia is reported to be up to 50%. Here, we describe a case of cholangitis with E. tarda bacteremia who had a pancreatoduodenectomy for a locally advanced gastric cancer. He was successfully treated using a cefmetazole, a second generation cephalosporin for 14 days. To the best of our knowledge, this ...
متن کاملPolymicrobial bacteremia caused by Escherichia coli, Edwardsiella tarda, and Shewanella putrefaciens.
Edwardsiella tarda, a member of Enterobacteriaceae, is found in freshwater and marine environments and in animals living in these environments. This bacterium is primarily associated with gastrointestinal diseases, and has been isolated from stool specimens obtained from persons with or without clinical infectious diseases. Shewanella putrefaciens, a saprophytic gram-negative rod, is rarely res...
متن کاملNatural colistin resistance in Edwardsiella tarda.
All of 37 recent human isolates of Edwardsiella tarda were resistant to colistin. All strains were resistant to 6.3 mug of sodium colistimethate per ml; 82% of them were resistant to 100 mug/ml. With 34 Salmonella strains, the average minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 1.6 mug of sodium colistimethate per ml. There was virtually no overlapping of MIC values between both groups of bacter...
متن کاملIsolation of Edwardsiella tarda from swine.
Edwardsiella tarda was isolated from the intestinal tract of a 2-month-old pig. This is the first reported isolation of Edwardsiella tarda from swine in the United States. Swine have been reported as potential carriers of Edwardsiella tarda, but pathogenicity of this organism for swine has not been determined. Although the pig had access to several farm ponds, the exact source of infection was ...
متن کاملEdwardsiella tarda-associated cholangitis associated with Lemmel syndrome
Edwardsiella tarda is an unusual human pathogen. Gastroenteritis is the most frequently reported manifestation of E.tarda infection and extraintestinal infection including cholangitis has rarely been reported. The overall mortality rate for E.tarda bacteremia is, however, reported to be up to 50% (Janda and Abbott, 1993). We describe a 80-year-old diabetic woman with cholangitis and E.tarda bac...
