Abstract

Aim: Kluyvera sp., a Gram-negative bacterium in Enterobacteriaceae family, may give rise to such infections as urinary system infections, enteritis, soft tissue infections and sepsis in children. It is known that Kluyvera species is an opportunistic pathogen detected in immunosuppressed hosts as well as in immunocompetent ones. Considering that it may enlight future studies related to Kluyvera infections, studies in the literature have been scanned. Material and Method: The data about Kluyvera spp. isolates were obtained retrospectively from clinical microbiology records. Result: It was seen that, of the 3 Kluyvera isolates, 1 was a urine specimen, and the other 2 were from umbli-cal area. In this study, antimicrobial susceptibility studies of the clinically significant Kluyvera isolates showed susceptibility patterns similar to those reported in the medical literature, namely trends of resistance to ampicillin and first- and second-generation cephalosporins. Moreover none of the clinically significant isolates were resistant to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, and trimethoprim+ sulfametoxazole. Conclusion: It was concluded in the light of both the studies in the literature and this study that rare and opportunistic organisms, such as Kluyvera may be an infection cause in children.

Özet

Amaç: Enterobacteriaceae familyasında yer alan Gram negatif bir bakteri olan Kluyvera sp. çocuklarda üriner sistem infeksiyonları, enterit, yumuşak doku infeksiyonları ve sepsis gibi birçok infeksiyona sebep olabilmektedir. Kluyvera türlerinin immunsupresif hastalarda olduğu kadar immunkompetanlar için de fırsatçı bir patojen olduğu bilinmektedir. Kluyvera infeksiyonları ile ilgili bundan sonra yapılacak olan çalışmalara ışık tutacağı düşünülerek Kluyvera hakkında yapılan literatür çalışmaları da gözden geçirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kluyvera izolat verileri klinik mikrobiyoloji kayıtlarının retrospektif analizi ile elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Retrospektif incelemede üç izolatın birinin idrar, ikisinin umblikal apse örneklerinden soyutlandığı saptandı. Çalışmada, klinik öneme sahip Kluyvera izolatları nın antibiyotik duyarlılıkları, (birinci ve ikinci kuşak sefolosporinler ve ampisiline karşı dirençli olmaları ile amikasin, siproşoksasin, gentamisin ve trimetroprim+sulfametoksazol’e duyarlılıkları) literatürde rapor edilen paternlerle benzerlik gösterdi. Sonuç: Hem bizim verilerimiz hem de literatür bilgilerinin bir sonucu olarak Kluyvera gibi nadir ve fırsatçı organizmalar çocuklarda önemli infeksiyon etkeni olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
