This study reports the first case of L. jiangsuensis infection in a human. The strain was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The patient, a 59-year-old Japanese woman undergoing treatment for Crohn's disease, was successfully treated with levofloxacin and discharged after 14 days.
Background Luteibacter jiangsuensis is a gram-negative aerobic bacillus that was first isolated from soil samples at a pesticide factory in China and reported in 2011. Here, we describe the first case of L. jiangsuensis infection in human.Case presentation A 59-year-old Japanese woman undergoing treatment for Crohn's disease was admitted to our hospital with fever. Clinical examination indicated catheter-related bloodstream infection. The catheter was removed and meropenem was initiated. Morphologically identical glucose non-fermentative gram-negative bacilli were detected from two sets of aerobic blood culture and catheter-tip cultures. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry failed to identify the bacterium, which was later identified as L. jiangsuensis by 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. Antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that the isolate was resistant to carbapenem, therefore meropenem was switched to intravenous levofloxacin (500 mg/day). After 14 days of treatment with levofloxacin, the patient was discharged.Conclusions This is the first case of L. jiangsuensis infection in human. The strain was identified by 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
