In a period of nine months, 225 strains of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from burns were identified by a variety of tests in two burn centers in Tehran. The most common species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Many strains of acinetobacter spp, providencia spp, proteus spp, ser...

discussion: the present case demonstrates that the uropathogenic e. hermanii clone can cause destruction of the kidneys. during asymptomatic bacteriuria or cystitis, the bacteria remain in the urinary tract. even when pyelonephritis develops, inflammatory response of the host is still restricted to the urinary tract. these signs mean that uropathogenic e. hermanii may be not very virulent. intr...
