Extra-abdominal infections caused by Comamonas kerstersii: Case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
February 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100853, China.
Rationale: Comamonas kerstersii mainly causes intra-abdominal infections with favorable outcomes due to high antibiotic susceptibility. We report the first case of pneumonia caused by C Kerstersii, which promoted patient death, and a second urinary tract infection by C Kerstersii with extensive drug resistance.
Patient Concerns: A 46-year-old male (Case 1) with craniocerebral injury underwent emergency decompressive craniectomy, but his condition deteriorated further and presented with discontinuous fever, small moist rales on both lungs, and respiratory failure.

() is a Gram-negative bacterium that was initially thought to be non-pathogenic to humans and is abundant in the environment. In recent years, with the availability of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) that enable fast and accurate bacterial identification, there have been increasing number of reports of human infections caused by , indicating that this organism has emerged as human pathogen. In fact, most clinical isolates of are recovered from peritoneal liquid, and bacteremia has been infrequently reported.

is an opportunistic pathogen that affects both fish and mammals, including humans, leading to bacteraemia, sepsis, meningitis and even death. The increasing virulence and drug resistance of are of significant concern and pose a severe risk to public safety. The Type I restriction-modification (RM) system, which functions as a bacterial defence mechanism, can influence gene expression through DNA methylation.

Background: () infections have considered as non-pathogenic to humans, however due to new techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), more cases have been identified.
Case Summary: This is the first report of a maternal patient with a bacteremia following caesarean section. Due to the severity of the patient's condition; high fever and rapidly progressing organ damage, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Comamonas species are rarely associated with human infections. Recent reports found that Comamonas kerstersii was associated with severe diseases such as abdominal infection and bacteremia. However, Comamonas kerstersii may be confused with Comamonas testosteroni using the automatic bacterial identification systems currently available.
