Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) is a rare human pathogen; however, the overall mortality of bacteremia is reported to be up to 50%. Here, we describe a case of cholangitis with E. tarda bacteremia who had a pancreatoduodenectomy for a locally advanced gastric cancer. He was successfully treated using a cefmetazole, a second generation cephalosporin for 14 days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report about E. tarda bacteremia after biliary reconstruction.

Although recent propagation of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) has become a problem worldwide, the picture of CPE infection in Japan has not fully been elucidated. In this study, we examined clinical and microbiological characteristics of invasive CPE infection occurring at 8 hospitals in Minami Ibaraki Area between July 2001 to June 2017. Of 7294 Enterobacterales strains isolated from independent cases of bacteremia and/or meningitis, 10 (0.

Article Synopsis
- A 76-year-old woman developed an iliopsoas abscess following an acute urinary tract infection, initially presenting with fatigue and difficulty moving.
- Despite blood tests showing inflammation, the source was not clear until further imaging.
- After CT-guided drainage of the abscess, she improved and was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital, marking this as the first documented case of such an infection after acute pyelonephritis.

Human infection caused by bacteria of the genus is rare and most often presents with gastroenteritis that rarely requires antibiotics. Our case report describes a medically complex patient with chronic steroid use contributing to an immunocompromised state, who presented with fever and abdominal pain. The patient was later found to have bacteremia and underwent paracentesis confirming bacterial peritonitis requiring a prolonged antibiotic course.
