          Abstract

          Resumen Anteriormente llamada Enterobacter agglomerans, hoy conocida como Pantoea agglomerans es un bacilo gram negativo, sin cápsula, aerobio facultativo, perteneciente a la familia Enterobacteriacea. Habita plantas, suelo, agua, piel humana, heces animales y humanas. Es responsable de la mayor parte de las enfermedades intrahospitalarias en medicina humana, produciendo infecciones fundamentalmente relacionadas con infusiones intravenosas, así como meningitis neonatal y artritis séptica a consecuencia de punciones accidentales con espinas de plantas (Kratz y col., 2003; Sauvezie y Sirot, 2000). En el presente artículo se describe un caso clínico perteneciente a un felino (Felis catus), macho de 7 años con cuadro respiratorio crónico que no respondió al tratamiento con antibióticos de primera elección, por lo que se realizó una punción pulmonar, aislándose Pantoea agglomerans, microorganismo nunca antes comunicado como causante de esta patología en felinos, la cual resultó ser multiresistente a los antibióticos de uso frecuente.

          Summary Previously called Enterobacter agglomerans, known today as Pantoea agglomerans is a gram negative bacillus, without capsule, facultative aerobic, that belongs to Enterobacteriacea family. It lives in plants, ground, water, human skin, animal and human feces. It is responsible for the majority of the nosocomial infections in human medicine, causing infections related to intravenous infusions, neonatal meningitis and septic arthritis as a result of pricking with thorn plants (Kratz y Greenberg, 2003; Sauvezie y Sirot, 2000). In this article we report a case of a male cat (Felis catus), 7 years old, with chronic respiratory disease, which didn´t response to a treatment with common use antibiotics, so we made a lung puncture, where was isolate Pantoea agglomerans. This microorganism was never communicated as a cause of this pathology in cats and resulted to be resistant to common use antibiotics.

          Pantoea agglomerans, a plant pathogen causing human disease.

          We present 53 pediatric cases of Pantoea agglomerans infections cultured from normally sterile sites in patients seen at a children's hospital over 6 years. Isolates included 23 from the bloodstream, 14 from abscesses, 10 from joints/bones, 4 from the urinary tract, and 1 each from the peritoneum and the thorax. P. agglomerans was most associated with penetrating trauma by vegetative material and catheter-related bacteremia.

            Pantoea agglomerans in Immunodeficient Patients with Different Respiratory Symptoms

            The aim of this paper was to determine in 32 patients from 4 different Mexican hospitals the frequency of opportunistic bacteria in the 2010 to 2011 time period. The patients were divided in 4 groups. Group 1 included 21 HIV positive patients with acute respiratory syndrome. Four HIV positive patients with tuberculosis symptoms were included in Group 2; two patients with tuberculosis symptoms and one asymptomatic person formed Group 3. Reference Group 4 included 4 patients from whom 4 strains of Mycobacterium spp. had been reported. The strains were isolated and identified by 16S rRNA gene amplification, API 20E and 50CH, biochemical test, and antibiotic sensitivity. The strains found were 10 Pantoea agglomerans, 6 Mycobacterium spp., 6 Pseudomonas spp. and 10 strains of normal floral species: Thermoactinomycetes bacterium (1), Enterococcus faecium (2), Bacillus licheniformis (1), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (2), Streptococcus oralis (2), Streptococcus anginosus (1), and Enterobacter hormaechei (1).
