چکیده
We describe a case of a 66-year-old immunocompetent man affected by Achromobacter denitrificans renal abscess related to renal stones. The patient was treated successfully with meropenem 1 g three times daily for 60 days. To our knowledge, this is the first ever case reported of Achromobacter denitrificans renal abscess.

متن کاملIdentification of type 4 pili in Kingella denitrificans.
Kingella denitrificans is an occasionally pathogenic member of the family Neisseriaceae and is a member of the normal respiratory flora. Electron microscopy, colony morphology types, DNA transformation patterns, and immunoblots suggest that K. denitrificans and K. kingae have type 4 pili. This was confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing for K. denitrificans.
