Abstract

Although Shewanella putrefaciens is widespread in nature and can readily be isolated from environmental specimens, it is a rare human pathogen. It may cause skin and. soft tissue infections in the immunocompetent host and bacteremia and septicemia in the immunocompromised. In this paper, an 18-year-old male case of chronic osteomyelitis presenting with foot ulceration, in whom wound cultures yielded Shewanella putrefaciens is presented.

Özet

Shewanella putrefaciens doğada yaygın olarak bulunan bir bakteri olmasına rağmen insanlarda çok nadir olarak ınfeksiyon oluşturmaktadır, insanlarda deri ve yumuşak doku infeksiyonlannda etken olan bu mikro-organizma, bağışık yetmezlikli hastalarda bakteremi ve sepsise neden olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda kronik osteomiyelite bağlı ayak ülseri gelişen ve yara yeri kültüründe Shewanella putrefaciens izole edilen 18 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
