Erysipelas of the right arm due to Bordetella trematum: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bordetella trematum is unknown to most clinicians and microbiologists. However, this Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium can be responsible for ulcer superinfection but also bacteremia and sometimes death by septic shock.

Case report

We report the case of erysipelas due to B. trematum with bacteremia in an immunocompromised 88-year-old Caucasian patient.

Conclusion

In immunocompromised patients, unusual microbial agents such as B. trematum can be responsible for cutaneous and systemic infections, requiring specific antibiotic therapy. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the need for specific bacterial identification such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing in the context of atypical evolution of erysipelas in such patients.

Mycobacterium ulcerans-Bordetella trematum chronic tropical cutaneous ulcer: A four-case series, Cote d'Ivoire.

Project description:Chronic tropical cutaneous ulcers remain a neglected medical condition in West Africa, particularly Buruli ulcer, which is caused by mycolactone cytotoxin-secreting Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans). Medical management of this highly debilitating and necrotising skin infection may be modified by colonisation and co-infection of the ulcer by opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, which considerably delays and increases the cost of treatment. We diagnosed chronic tropical cutaneous ulcers in nine patients in Côte d'Ivoire using M. ulcerans-specific PCRs and culturomics. This revealed M. ulcerans in 7/9 ulcer swabs and 5/9 control swabs as well as an additional 122 bacterial species, 32 of which were specific to ulcers, 61 specifics to the controls, and 29 which were shared, adding 40 bacterial species to those previously reported. Whole genome sequencing of four Bordetella trematum (B. trematum) isolates in four Buruli ulcer swabs and no controls indicated cytolethal distending toxins, as confirmed by cytotoxic assay. In four cases of Buruli ulcer in Côte d'Ivoire, B. trematum was a co-pathogen which was resistant to rifampicin and clarithromycin, unmatching M. ulcerans antibiotic susceptibility profile and counteracting the current treatment of Buruli ulcer in West Africa and Australia. Thus, we report here chronic mixed M. ulcerans-B. trematum chronic tropical ulcer as a specific form of Buruli ulcer in West Africa.

<i>Bordetella trematum</i> bacteraemia secondary to an empyema in an immunocompromised host: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:IntroductionBordetella trematum infection remains uncommon. More cases of bacteraemia are reported in recent years with the primary infection largely originating from skin and soft tissue sites. Yet, our understanding of its virulence, antibiotic susceptibility profile and treatment is still limited.Case presentationCase presentation. We report the first case of B. trematum bacteraemia from a left-sided empyema. An 87-year-old female patient with a past medical history of ischaemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus complicated by nephropathy and locally advanced left breast adenocarcinoma presented with fever, productive cough and shortness of breath. The B. trematum isolates from blood and pleural fluid were identified by MALDI-TOF and 16S rRNA sequencing. Ceftriaxone and azithromycin commenced empirically on admission were switched to piperacillin-tazobactam after 2 days due to lack of clinical improvement. Despite a pleurocentesis and 1 week of piperacillin-tazobactam with microbiological clearance in blood, the patient continued to deteriorate. Decision to withdraw treatment was made in view of the patient's prognosis, and the patient succumbed on the fourteenth day of admission. The isolate was susceptible to piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem and meropenem but had reduced susceptibility or was non-susceptible to cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, cefepime, the aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones.ConclusionInvasive B. trematum infection is associated with significant mortality. Consensus for antibiotic treatment remains unclear, with limited susceptibility data to support specific antibiotic use. We expect more clinical cases will surface with improved microbial identification systems, as well as enhanced clinical awareness. Standardized and more robust susceptibility work are needed to provide clear recommendations and establish consensus in treating invasive infections.

Draft Genome Sequences of Bordetella hinzii and Bordetella trematum.

Project description:Bordetella hinzii colonizes the respiratory tracts of poultry but can also infect immunocompromised humans. Bordetella trematum, however, only infects humans, causing ear and wound infections. Here, we present the first draft genome sequences of strains B. hinzii ATCC 51730 and B. trematum CCUG 13902.

Detection and Characterization of Clinical Bordetella trematum Isolates from Chronic Wounds.

Project description:Bordetella trematum is a relatively newly discovered and potentially frequently overlooked Bordetella species, mostly isolated from chronic wounds and predominantly in those of the lower extremities. Its susceptibility profile and clinical significance is still debated, given the limited amount of available data. We contribute providing a molecular and phenotypical analysis of three unique clinical B. trematum isolates detected between August 2019 and January 2020 to aid the matter. Cryo-conserved isolates were subcultured and re-identified using various routine means of identification. Bacterial genomes were fully Illumina-sequenced and phenotypical susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution and gradient-strip tests. All isolates displayed increased susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam (<2/4 mg/L), imipenem (<1 mg/L), and meropenem (<0.047 mg/L), whereas they displayed decreased susceptibility to all tested cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones (according to PK-PD, EUCAST 10.0 2020). One isolate carried a beta-lactamase (EC 3.5.2.6) and a sulfonamide resistance gene (sul2) and cells displayed resistance to ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. All isolates carried genes conferring decreased susceptibility to aminoglycosides (aadA), fosfomycin (fosA) and fluoroquinolones (gyrB EC 5.99.1.3). Awareness that B. trematum can be resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is warranted.

Hepatic encephalopathy due to aorto-right ventricular fistula responsive to percutaneous repair: a case report

Project description:Abstract Background Encephalopathy due to hyperammonemia is most often found in a setting of cirrhosis. However, it can also result from increased hepatic venous pressures, which can damage zone three hepatocytes and result in elevated serum ammonia. Case summary This report focuses on the unique case of a 43-year-old woman, who presented with confusion in the setting of hyperammonemia due to congestive hepatopathy from an iatrogenic aorto-right ventricular fistula. The patient underwent percutaneous repair of the fistula with resolution of encephalopathy and notable improvement in symptoms. The patient attended all follow-up appointments and was contacted five and eight months after admittance for updates regarding her recovery and permission to publish this case. Discussion This exceedingly rare case has not been reported in the literature and highlights the historically narrow differential for hyperammonemic encephalopathy given the prevalence of cirrhosis and potential reversibility of such a case.
