Vibrio metschnikovii is a widespread opportunistic pathogen that rarely causes disease in human. It caused graft infection in our case. It is important to differentiate it from another water-transmitted pathogens.
Keywords: Vibrio metschnikovii; case report; graft infection; rare pathogen; vascular surgery.
Raoultella terrigena is a rarely found opportunistic pathogen that can cause healthcare-associated infections with high mortality. It is important to differentiate it from Klebsiella species.
Keywords: Klebsiella; Raoultellaterrigena; clinical case; healthcare‐associated infections; literature review; opportunists; phylogenetic analysis; rare pathogen.
The share of Klebsiella pneumoniae in infections has been recently increasing. Multidrug-resistant strains that produce more than one antibiotic resistance mechanism are also increasingly isolated. Contamination of the organs preservation fluid occurs quite often, but the isolated microorganisms are mainly saprophytic bacteria that are part of the skin microbiota (coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium spp). The following case describes a K. pneumoniae blood infection in a patient after liver transplantation. Susceptibility of the strains to chosen antimicrobials was determined using the automated method. For strain isolated from blood, it was confirmed by loop-mediated isothermal amplification of genetic material. © 2021 Indian Association of Medical Microbiologists
