Isolation of Pantoea agglomerans in two cases of septic monoarthritis after plant thorn and wood sliver injuries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arthritis after plant injury is often apparently aseptic. We report two cases due to Pantoea agglomerans. In one case, the bacterium was isolated only from the pediatric blood culture media, BACTEC Peds Plus, monitored in BACTEC 9240, and not from the other media inoculated with the joint fluid. This procedure could help improve the diagnosis of septic arthritis.

Pantoea agglomerans as a cause of septic arthritis after palm tree thorn injury; case report and literature review.
We report the case of a 14 year old healthy boy, who was admitted six weeks after being injured by a palm tree thorn, with limping caused by pain and swelling in his right knee. An ultrasound examination revealed a foreign body in the posterior lateral aspect of the right knee. Pantoea agglomerans was identified in the synovial fluid. The patient underwent two arthrotomies and was treated with ...

Pantoea agglomerans is a plant pathogen and an unusual cause of human disease typically associated with thorn prick injuries or contaminated parenteral fluids. In the neonate, P. agglomerans has been reported to cause bacteremia or sepsis 17 times previously.

INTRODUCTION Pantoea agglomerans is a plant pathogen which very rarely causes an opportunistic infection. Human beings are usually infected by thorn prick injuries or by contaminated parenteral fluids. Pantoea agglomerans has been reported as a cause of neonatal sepsis very rarely and to the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case from India. CASE PRESENTATION A 4-day-old Asian ...
متن کاملReactive monoarthritis.
The diagnostic approach to a case of septic monoarthritis involves the basic principle of identifying the organism. Simple as this sounds, it is amazing how many cases become 'difficult cases' when no organism can been isolated. Penetrating trauma by a thorn resulting in reactive arthritis can mimic septic arthritis very closely. Highlighting this rare etiology and the approach to a case of mon...
متن کاملHigh-Quality Draft Genome Sequences of Pantoea agglomerans Isolates Exhibiting Antagonistic Interactions with Wheat Seed-Associated Fungi
Pantoea agglomerans isolates 3 and 4 were retrieved from the bacterial community associated with wheat seeds. These isolates differ in their pattern of growth antagonism toward Alternaria species. A comparison of the genome sequences of these two isolates revealed a high sequence identity with previously sequenced strains of P. agglomerans.
