Crohn's Disease Exacerbation Induced by Edwardsiella tarda Gastroenteritis
Exacerbations of Crohn's disease are not infrequently associated with bacterial gastroenteritis. The recognition of synchronous infections in such patients is vital for the initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Furthermore, the detection of active bacterial infections may lead the clinician to delay starting biological therapy. We report here a man presenting with an exacerbation of ...
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...
متن کاملEdwardsiella 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 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...

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 ...
