چکیده
Leclercia adecarboxylata, a gram-negative bacillus of the Enterobacteriaceae family, is rarely identified as a pathogen in humans. We describe a fatal case of L adecarboxylata sepsis in a child. This is the first reported pediatric death associated with infection due to L adecarboxylata.

Isolations of Leclercia adecarboxylata from a patient with a chronically inflamed gallbladder and from a patient with sepsis without focus.
Leclercia adecarboxylata was isolated from a patient with a chronically inflamed gallbladder, together with Enterococcus sp. The organism was considered clinically significant and was susceptible to all antibiotics tested. Another strain of L. adecarboxylata was cultured from blood, together with Escherichia hermannii and E. faecalis, from a patient with sepsis.
متن کاملPharyngeal and peritonsillar abscess due to Leclercia adecarboxylata in an immunocompetant patient.
Leclercia adecarboxylata was isolated in pure culture from a peritonsillar and lateral pharyngeal abscess in an immunocompetent host. To our knowledge, this is the first case of infection caused by this microorganism being found in an odontogenic area of the head and neck.
متن کاملDegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a newly discovered enteric bacterium, Leclercia adecarboxylata.
A bacterial strain, PS4040, capable of degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for use as the sole carbon source was isolated from oily-sludge-contaminated soil. The 16S rRNA gene showed 98.8% homology to that of Leclercia adecarboxylata. Comparative molecular typing with the clinical strain of L. adecarboxylata revealed that there were few comigrating and few distinct amplimers among them.
متن کاملIsolation from blood culture of a Leclercia adecarboxylata strain producing an SHV-12 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase.
We report on the first isolation of an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Leclercia adecarboxylata strain from the bloodstream in a 58-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia. The strain, resistant to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam, produces the SHV-12 beta-lactamase, one of the most common variants found in Italian nosocomial isolates of Enterobacteriaceae.
