چکیده
Paracoccus yeei was isolated in pure culture from an aerobic blood culture and bulla fluid from a 67-year-old male. The biochemical identification scheme for this recently described species is outlined. Because of its reaction pattern it is not unlikely that P. yeei is underdiagnosed.

متن کاملRedefining Paracoccus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus and the case for a reassessment of the strains held by international culture collections.
An outline of the current taxonomic diversity of the genus Paracoccus is presented. A definitive summary is given of the valid type strains of Paracoccus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus and of culture collection strains that can be assigned to these species. The case is established for a critical reassessment of the P. denitrificans strains held by international culture collections, t...
متن کاملCorneal graft rejection complicated by Paracoccus yeei infection in a patient who had undergone a penetrating keratoplasty.
A 68-year-old man who had undergone two penetrating keratoplasties of his left eye was admitted with early corneal graft failure. Culture of the anterior chamber fluid yielded Paracoccus yeei, a nonfermentative gram-negative bacillus which thus far had only been implicated in ocular disease by means of PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing directly on patient material.
متن کاملClinical implications of Paracoccus yeeii bacteremia in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis
Infections in patients with cirrhosis are common among those who develop variceal hemorrhage. Prophylactic antimicrobial treatment with third generation cephalosporins is recommended in patients with advanced cirrhosis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. However no infectious source is identified in up to 50% of patients with cirrhosis and clinical sepsis. We report the first case of Paracoccus ye...
