Isolation of Arcobacter butzleri from a neonate with bacteraemia

The Journal of Infection
S L W OnJ Smyth

Abstract

We describe the case of a neonate with bacteraemia from whom the recently described organism Arcobacter butzleri was isolated. This appears to be the first report of the organism causing neonatal infection. Clinical details suggest that the infection was contracted in utero, although the mother showed no evidence of disease before delivery. Treatment of the preterm infant was ultimately successful in resolving the infection but the organism proved resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. Similar patterns of antibiotic resistance were also observed in 39 reference and field strains of the genus Arcobacter. These findings, combined with available data on the distribution of Arcobacter species, suggest that these organisms may be important human pathogens. Optimized methods for their isolation and identification are therefore required so as to ascertain their role in human disease.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Campylobacteriosis

Campylobacteriosis is caused by the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni and is a common cause of gastroenteritis in humans. Discover the latest research on Campylobacteriosis here.
