Cedacea Davisae from ET Culture – A Rare Isolate
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Cedacea davisae is a gram negative bacilli belonging to Enterobacteriaceae Enteric Group 15. There are very cases reported so far caused by different species of Cedacea genus. Advanced automated laboratory diagnosis uncovered a possible role of such emerging pathogen in disease presentation. In this paper, we report a case of pleural effusion in a 36 year old Male Patient who is a K/C/O CKD since 10 years, presented with Cough and Shortness of Breath since 3days. USG, CBC, RFT, ET culture were done. Cedacea davisae was isolated and the patient was successfully treated with Ciprofloxacin and TMP/SMX. Cedacea infection can be difficult to treat due to wide range of antibiotic resistance displayed by the bacterium. Laboratory antibiotic sensitivity tests guided treatment with combination therapy should be considered for treatment such infection.
