A Japanese man with community-onset carbapenem-resistant Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans bacteremia and a sacral pressure ulcer: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stutzerimonas is a recently proposed genus comprising strains formerly classified as Pseudomonas stutzeri. The genus includes at least 16 identified species. Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans, previously known as Pseudomonas nitrititolerans, was initially isolated from a bioreactor. Only one case of human infection has been reported to date, and its pathogenicity remains unknown.

Case presentation

We present a case of community-acquired S. nitrititolerans bacteremia in a 77-year-old Japanese man with a sacral pressure ulcer. On admission for cerebral infarction, empirical ampicillin/sulbactam was administered because of an infected sacral pressure ulcer. Blood cultures revealed Gram-negative bacilli.
