Ralstonia Pickettii Bacteremia

چکیده
As mentioned in literature R. pickettii has been reported to cause respiratory tract infections, meningitis, peritonitis and sepsis [1-4]. Transmission may occur due to contaminated medical devices or solutions generally encountered in health care facilities. R. picketti has been reported to cause outbreaks also [5]. We present three case reports of R. pickettii bacteremia and a brief review of literature. Though a case of bacteriemia has been reported very recently from India [6], this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case series from India.

Ralstonia pickettii is a low-virulence gram-negative bacillus that may be associated with infections related to health care and may cause bacteremia. Ralstonia pickettii bacteremia is uncommon but is related to the contamination of medical products, mainly in immunodepressed patients. We present two cases of patients on chronic hemodialysis with Ralstonia pickettii bacteremia linked to contamin...
متن کاملNative Valve Endocarditis due to Ralstonia pickettii: A Case Report and Literature Review
Ralstonia pickettii is a rare pathogen and even more rare in healthy individuals. Here we report a case of R. pickettii bacteremia leading to aortic valve abscess and complete heart block. To our knowledge this is the first case report of Ralstonia species causing infective endocarditis with perivalvular abscess.
متن کاملClinical characteristics of Ochrobactrum anthropi bacteremia.
The clinical picture of Ochrobactrum anthropi infection is not well described because the infection is rare in humans and identification of the pathogen is difficult. We present a case of O. anthropi bacteremia that was initially misidentified as Ralstonia paucula and later identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and recA analysis.

The genomes of two Ralstonia pickettii strains (H2Cu2 and H2Cu5), isolated from hospital effluent in a selective medium containing CuSO4, were sequenced. They presented MICs of >256 and 6 µg/ml for the aminoglycoside gentamicin, respectively. The 5.2-Mb draft genomes have 40 contigs for strain H2Cu2 and 113 for H2Cu5.
