چکیده

Achromobacter animicus (A. animicus) is an aerobic, motile, gram-negative, non-fermenting small bacillus that can also grow anaerobically with potassium nitrate. It has been isolated from sputum of humans suffering from respiratory infections. Literature regarding the role of A. animicus in wound infections is limited. We report a first case of a chronic post-traumatic wound infection caused by a multidrug-resistant A. animicus in a street child from Africa and accompanied diagnostic challenges.

Innate aminoglycoside resistance of Achromobacter xylosoxidans is due to AxyXY-OprZ, an RND-type multidrug efflux pump.

Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an innately multidrug-resistant pathogen which is emerging in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We characterized a new resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND)-type multidrug efflux pump, AxyXY-OprZ. This system is responsible for the intrinsic high-level resistance of A. xylosoxidans to aminoglycosides (tobramycin, amikacin, and gentamicin). Furthermore, it can extr...

Empedobacter falsenii: a rare non-fermenter causing urinary tract infection in a child with bladder cancer

The members of family Enterobacteriaceae are the most common etiological agents implicated in urinary tract infections (UTI), followed by gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococci and Enterococci [1]. UTI due to non-fermenters (NFs) have also seen an upsurge over the past few years. Pseudomonas holds a significant place in this group, due to easy identification by virtue of its pigment and ...
