Comamonas testosteroni is an uncommon isolate in the clinical laboratory as a human pathogen. C. testosteroni most commonly emerges in abdominal pathologies especially in perforated appendicitis. In Turkey we report first time a case of bacteremia due to this organism, in a 22-year-old man with perforated acute appendicitis. The organism was shown to be susceptible to routine antibiotics so it was easily eliminated even after having caused a bacteremia.
睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌作为一种人类病原体,在临床实验室中是一种不常见的分离菌。睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌最常出现在腹部疾病中,尤其是在穿孔性阑尾炎中。在土耳其,我们首次报告了一例由该菌引起菌血症的病例,患者为一名患有急性穿孔性阑尾炎的22岁男性。结果显示该菌对常规抗生素敏感,因此即使在引起菌血症后也很容易被清除。
