[Eikenella corrodens infective endocarditis].
The HACEK microorganisms (Haemophilus spp, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, and Kingella kingae) account for 3% of the cases of endocarditis. They have the following similar clinical and microbiological properties: are Gram-negative bacilli, more easily isolated in aerobic media; their cultures require prolonged incubation time for growing (mea...
متن کاملCongenital sepsis caused by Eikenella corrodens
Eikenella corrodens is a part of normal human oral flora and a rare cause of intrauterine and neonatal infections. We describe a case of congenital E. corrodens sepsis with positive blood cultures at birth in the setting of low maternal risk factors for infection. Our case is one of two reported cases of congenital E. corrodens sepsis resulting in newborn survival.
متن کاملUrinary tract infection caused by Eikenella corrodens.
To date, Eikenella corrodens, a fastidious, gram-negative rod, has not been recognized as a causative agent of urinary tract infections. Until now the organism has been isolated from infective endocarditis, abdominal, joint, and bone infections (3, 7), human bite wounds (9), genital ulcers after traumatic orogenital contact (5, 6), and other sites (3, 7, 10). E. corrodens is part of the human o...
متن کاملEikenella corrodens keratitis: case report.
Eikenella corrodens is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobe which is part of the normal human oropharyngeal flora and an opportunistic pathogen of mucous membrane tissues. We report a case of secondary E. corrodens ulcerative keratitis with hypopyon in a 39-year-old male with herpes simplex keratitis. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of E. corrodens as a pathogen in ...
متن کاملEnergy production and peptidase activity in Eikenella corrodens.
Eikenella corrodens 33EK(L), a clinical isolate, was assayed for its ability to utilise amino acids as substrates in the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. The metabolism of proline, glutamate, serine and glutamine was found to result in relatively high rates of nitrate reduction. The ability of cells to metabolise these amino acids from a variety of small peptides was also determined. E. corrode...
