Background: , a member of the family of , although isolated widely in nature, rarely causes infections in humans. Herein, we report a case of isolation of from pigtail end culture, urine culture and blood culture in a 76-year-old patient.
Objective: To systematically address all the relevant information regarding through literature.
Methods: We searched PubMed and Scopus databases up to January 2022 and performed a qualitative synthesis of published articles reporting infection from in humans.
Results: We identified 25 records on PubMed and 43 additional records on Scopus. After removing duplicates, we examined in detail 15 articles. Ten studies with a total of 17 cases were included in our systematic review. Nine studies described isolated case reports, while 1 study described 8 cases. The origin of the infection was the alimentary tract in 9 cases, gallbladder in 4 cases, peritoneal cavity in 2 cases, respiratory tract in 1 case and hemodialysis catheter insertion site in 1 case. In 3 of the aforementioned cases was also isolated in blood cultures.
