ABSTRACT
The association of Comamonas kerstersii with peritonitis resulting from perforated appendix and its isolation from a psoas abscess and pelvic peritonitis have previously been described by us. We present the first case of C. kerstersii urinary tract infection, broadening the spectrum of infections caused by this species.
ABSTRACT
The association of Comamonas kerstersii with peritonitis resulting from the presence of perforated appendix has previously been described by our research team. In the present study, we describe the isolation of this microorganism from two forms of unusual presentations of C. kerstersii infection not previously described in the literature: localized intra-abdominal infection (psoas abscess) and pelvic peritonitis.
