Unusual presentations of Comamonas kerstersii infection.

ABSTRACT: The association of Comamonas kerstersii with peritonitis resulting from the presence of perforated appendix has previously been described by our research team. In the present study, we describe the isolation of this microorganism from two forms of unusual presentations of C. kerstersii infection not previously described in the literature: localized intra-abdominal infection (psoas abscess) and pelvic peritonitis.

First report of Comamonas kerstersii causing urinary tract infection.

Project description:The association of Comamonas kerstersii with peritonitis resulting from perforated appendix and its isolation from a psoas abscess and pelvic peritonitis have previously been described by us. We present the first case of C. kerstersii urinary tract infection, broadening the spectrum of infections caused by this species.

Intra-abdominal infections due to Comamonas kerstersii.

Project description:Herein, we report four cases of Comamonas kerstersii intra-abdominal infections representing the first report of human infections caused by this Comamonas species. In addition, our work demonstrates the association of C. kerstersii with peritonitis secondary to appendix rupture.

First report of urinary tract infection caused by Comamonas kerstersii in a goat.

Project description:BackgroundComamonas kerstersii is rarely associated with infections in humans and has never been reported in animals until now.Case presentationHerein, we describe a case of urinary tract infection caused by C. kerstersii in a young goat. A seven-month-old male goat showed lethargy, generalised weakness and anorexia and in the last hours before its death, severe depression, slight abdominal distention, ruminal stasis, and sternal recumbency. Grossly, multifocal haemorrhages in different organs and tissues, subcutaneous oedema and hydrocele, serous fluid with scattered fibrin deposition on the serosa of the abdominal organs and severe pyelonephritis with multifocal renal infarction were detected. Histopathological examination confirmed severe chronic active pyelonephritis with renal infarcts, multi-organ vasculitis and thrombosis suggestive of an infectious diseases of bacterial origin. The bacterium was identified using routine methods, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), and sequencing of the gyrB gene.ConclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. kerstersii infection in animals (goat). Our findings support the possibility of C. kerstersii isolation from extraintestinal sites and suggest this organism as a possible cause of urinary tract infection.

Bacteremia caused by Comamonas kerstersii in a patient with diverticulosis.

Project description:We report for the first time a case of bacteremia caused by Comamonas kerstersii in a 65-year-old patient with sign of diverticulosis. In addition, we review the isolation of Comamonas sp. and related organisms in our hospital over 25 years.

Complete genome sequencing of Comamonas kerstersii 8943, a causative agent for peritonitis.

Project description:Because of poor differentiation among the members of genus Comamonas using phenotypic methods, human infections caused by C. kerstersii are sporadically reported in the literature. Here, we represent the first complete genome sequence of C. kerstersii 8943, which caused peritonitis in a patient with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The complete genome with no gaps was obtained using third-generation Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) RSII sequencing system with single-molecule real-time (SMRT) analysis. Protein-coding genes, rRNAs and tRNAs were predicted. Functional annotations of the genome using different databases revealed several genes related to pathogenicity including antibiotic resistance genes and prophages. Our work demonstrates that whole genome sequencing can enhance the resolution of clinical investigations and our data can be used as a reference genome during the rapid diagnosis of C. kerstersii infections in the future.

Comamonas kerstersii bacteremia in a patient with acute perforated appendicitis: A rare case report.

Project description:Comamonas species are rarely associated with human infections. Recent reports found that Comamonas kerstersii was associated with severe diseases such as abdominal infection and bacteremia. However, C. kerstersii maybe be confused with Comamonas testosteroni using the automatic bacterial identification systems currently available.A 31-year-old man who had onset of left upper abdominal pain developed clinical manifestations of right lower abdominal pain and classic migration of pain at the temperature of 39°C. The positive strain of aerobic and anaerobic bottles of blood cultures was identified.The patient was diagnosed as acute peritonitis and perforated appendix with abdominal abscess.The bacterium was identified by routine methods, MALDI-TOF-MS and PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA. The patient was treated with exploratory laparotomy, appendectomy, tube drainage, and prescribing antibiotic treatment.The patients were discharged with complete recovery. The organisms were confirmed as C. kerstersii by MALDI-TOF-MS and a combination of the other results.Our findings suggest that C. kerstersii infection occurs most often in association with perforated appendix and bacteremia. We presume that C. kerstersii is an opportunistic pathogen or commensal with the digestive tract and appendix bacteria.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Third- and Fourth-Generation Cephalosporin-Resistant Comamonas kerstersii Isolate.

Project description:Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Comamonas kerstersii 3132976, a strain isolated from a human rectal swab sample in Switzerland. The isolate was resistant to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins and possessed a novel class A β-lactamase gene. The complete genome is 3,693,404 bp long with a GC content of 59.4%.
