Nadir bir cerrahi alan infeksiyonu etkeni: Sphingomonas paucimobilitis (Olgu sunumu)

Sphingomonas paucimobilis, bağışıklık sistemi baskılanmış konaklarda nadiren infeksiyon nedeni olan, sarı pigment oluşturan, aerobik, non-fermentatif, Gram negatif bir bakteridir. Nadiren hastane infeksiyonlarına neden olan bu bakterinin toprakta ve suda yaşadığı gözlenmiştir. Bu makalede S.paucimobilis’e bağlı bir cerrahi alan infeksiyonu olgusu sunulmuştur.

A rare agent in surgical site infection: Sphingomonas paucimobilis (A case report)

Sphingomonas paucimobilis, a yellow-pigmented, aerobic, glucose non-fermenting, Gram-negative bacillus, is a rare cause of human infection normally associated with immunocompromised hosts. The bacterium, commonly observed in land and water habitats, can rarely lead to hospital infections. In this report we present a case of surgical site infection due to S.paucimobilis.
