| Abstract |
|
Leclercia adecarboxylata is a motile, gram-negative, facultative-anaerobic, oxidase-negative, mesophilic, peritrichflagellated bacillus, phenotypically similar to Escherichia coli, but unfamiliar organism to clinicians. Until now, a few cases of human infections associated with the bacteria have been reported and these organisms have been known to be susceptible to many antibiotics. But, recently, strain producing extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL) was isolated and the study of natural antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in this organism was reported. Therefore, it is important to identify L. adecarboxylata and differentiate it form E. coli. Here, we report a case of L. adecarboxylata isolated from foot ulcer in a 65-year-old male patient with diabetic mellitus. |
