Pasteurella multocida Bacteremia With Associated Knee Arthroplasty Infection in an 80-Year-Old Caucasian Man.

ABSTRACT: To identify the gram-negative rods grown from blood cultures and a right-knee fluid aspirate from an 80-year-old caucasian man who had undergone a total right knee arthroplastic procedure 6 years ago, and to assess the genetic similarity between the 2 isolates.We used 3 different approaches: biochemical testing, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing.The 3 methods identified the gram-negative rods as Pasteurella multocida; 16S rRNA gene sequencing further identified the organisms as P. multocida subsp. septica.A concordant identification of P. multocida was observed using biochemical testing, mass spectrometry, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Only 16S rRNA sequencing was able to determine the subspecies of P. multocida and to determine the genetic relatedness of the 2 isolates.

Pasteurella multocida Bacteremia Due to Obstructive Pneumonia in an Immunocompromised Patient⋆

Project description:Background Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative pathogen commonly associated with soft tissue infections caused by bites or scratches from household animals. However, P. multocida infections have been reported without prior zoonotic exposure or associated soft tissue or skin infection in immunocompromised individuals. Case A 73-year-old patient with history significant for multiple malignancies including lung cancer presented to the emergency department with a fever, chills, and rigor. Patient denied any zoonotic exposure and did not have any soft tissue or skin structure infection. Laboratory testing and imaging revealed sepsis secondary to pneumonia and further lower respiratory cultures grew Pasteurella. Subsequent laboratory cultures indicated P. multocida bacteremia. Conclusion This case aims to advance awareness of the possibility of P. multocida infection in patients who do not have any known zoonotic exposure or identifiable skin or soft tissue infection. Nasopharyngeal colonization in immunocompromised individuals could be a source for invasive infection. Patients who have a pre-existing lung disease are susceptible for developing Pasteurella pneumonia, which can serve as the source of bacteremia.

Compress knee arthroplasty has 80% 10-year survivorship and novel forms of bone failure.

Project description:BackgroundCompliant, self-adjusting compression technology is a novel approach for durable prosthetic fixation of the knee. However, the long-term survival of these constructs is unknown.Questions/purposesWe therefore determined the survival of the Compress prosthesis (Biomet Inc, Warsaw, IN, USA) at 5 and 10 actuarial years and identified the failure modes for this form of prosthetic fixation.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed clinical and radiographic records for all 82 patients who underwent Compress knee arthroplasty from 1998 to 2008, as well as one patient who received the device elsewhere but was followed at our institution. Prosthesis survivorship and modes of failure were determined. Followup was for a minimum of 12 months or until implant removal (median, 43 months; range, 6-131 months); 28 patients were followed for more than 5 years.ResultsWe found a survivorship of 85% at 5 years and 80% at 10 years. Eight patients required prosthetic revision after interface failure due to aseptic loosening alone (n = 3) or aseptic loosening with periprosthetic fracture (n = 5). Additionally, five periprosthetic bone failures occurred that did not require revision: three patients had periprosthetic bone failure without fixation compromise and two exhibited irregular prosthetic osteointegration patterns with concomitant fracture due to mechanical insufficiency.ConclusionsCompress prosthetic fixation after distal femoral tumor resection exhibits long-term survivorship. Implant failure was associated with patient nonadherence to the recommended weightbearing proscription or with bone necrosis and fracture. We conclude this is the most durable FDA-approved fixation method for distal femoral megaprostheses.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic study.

Bacteremia caused by a novel helicobacter species in a 28-year-old man with X-linked agammaglobulinemia.

Project description:We report on a case of bacteremia caused by a previously unknown urease-negative Helicobacter strain, IMMIB HP-28/08, isolated from blood cultures of a 28-year-old man with X-linked agammaglobulinemia. The identification of the isolate was based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In the phylogenetic tree, the isolate fell into a cluster which included Helicobacter canadensis, Helicobacter equorum, and Helicobacter pullorum. This is the first report of bacteremia caused by this fastidious organism. Further investigations are necessary to determine the potential role of this species as a pathogen of bloodstream infections.

Palpitations in a 64-year-old man.

Project description:A 64-year-old man presented with several weeks of intermittent irregular palpitations. He had no prior history of cardiac disease, hypertension or syncope. A 12-lead ECG revealed sinus rhythm with premature atrial and ventricular contractions and high QRS voltages consistent with LV-hypertrophy. Cardiac MR revealed asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and marked mid-myocardial hyperenhancement of the interventricular septum.

Pasteurella multocida: Genotypes and Genomics.

Project description:Pasteurella multocida is a highly versatile pathogen capable of causing infections in a wide range of domestic and wild animals as well as in humans and nonhuman primates. Despite over 135?years of research, the molecular basis for the myriad manifestations of P. multocida pathogenesis and the determinants of P. multocida phylogeny remain poorly defined. The current availability of multiple P. multocida genome sequences now makes it possible to delve into the underlying genetic mechanisms of P. multocida fitness and virulence. Using whole-genome sequences, the genotypes, including the capsular genotypes, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) genotypes, and multilocus sequence types, as well as virulence factor-encoding genes of P. multocida isolates from different clinical presentations can be characterized rapidly and accurately. Putative genetic factors that contribute to virulence, fitness, host specificity, and disease predilection can also be identified through comparative genome analysis of different P. multocida isolates. However, although some knowledge about genotypes, fitness, and pathogenesis has been gained from the recent whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis studies of P. multocida, there is still a long way to go before we fully understand the pathogenic mechanisms of this important zoonotic pathogen. The quality of several available genome sequences is low, as they are assemblies with relatively low coverage, and genomes of P. multocida isolates from some uncommon host species are still limited or lacking. Here, we review recent advances, as well as continuing knowledge gaps, in our understanding of determinants contributing to virulence, fitness, host specificity, disease predilection, and phylogeny of P. multocida.

Comparison of the transcriptomes of a Pasteurella multocida VP161 wild-type strain with a Pasteurella multocida VP161 hfq mutant

Project description:Objectives: To determine the transcripts that are differentially expressed in a hfq mutant. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that mediates many interactions between regultory RNAs and their mRNA targets. Analysis of the transcriptomes of the Pasteurella multocida wild-type strain and the Pasteurella multocida hfq mutant will allow for identification of genes controlled by hfq and the sRNAs with which it interacts. Methods: RNA sequencing was employed to determine the transcriptomes of a wild-type Pasteurella multocida strain and a hfq mutant strain. Comparison of these two transcriptomes allows for determination of differentially expressed genes and therefore those genes controlled by Hfq and sRNAs with which it interacts.

Giant retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 52-year-old man.

Project description:Schwannoma in the retroperitoneal space is rare, and it is extremely rare in patients with no history of neurofibromatosis. We present a case of giant retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 52-year-old man who did not have neurofibromatosis. Because malignant transformation would be extremely rare in this circumstance, close imaging follow-up could avert the necessity for complete resection. The possibility of schwannoma should be considered when evaluating retroperitoneal tumors with the characteristic findings, even if there is no connection between the tumor and the intervertebral foramina.
