A case of newborn with community acquired pneumonia caused by Cupriavidus pauculus

Cupriavidus pauculusa bağlı toplum kökenli pnömoni gelişen bir yenidoğan olguCupriavidus pauculus gram-negatif, aerobik, spor oluşturmayan, nonfermentatif hareketli bir basildir. Basil sulardan, şişe-lenmiş sulardan ve hastanelerdeki ultrafiltrasyon sistemlerindeki sulardan izole edilebilir. C. pauculus insanda nadiren in-feksiyona yol açar, ancak özellikle immünyetmezlikli kişilerde infeksiyon etkeni olabilir. Bu yazıda daha önce sağlıklı ikenpostnatal 16. gününde solunum sıkıntısı nedeniyle yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan ve C. pauculusa bağlı top-lum kökenli pnömoni tanımlanan ilk yenidoğan olguyu sunuyoruz.

Cupriavidus pauculus a bağlı toplum kökenli pnömoni gelişen bir yenidoğan olgu

Cupriavidus pauculus is a gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore forming, non-fermentative motile bacillus. The bacillus can beisolated from water, bottled mineral water, and water from ultrafiltration systems in hospital setting. C. pauculus rarely ca-uses human infections, however it may be an infectious agent especially in immunocompromised individuals. In this re-port, we present the first case of community acquired pneumonia caused by C. pauculus in a previously healthy newbornwho was hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit on postnatal day 16 because of respiratory distress.
