Presentation
The majority of E. cloacae complex isolates presented the same ERIC-PCR pattern. Despite the clonal relation presented by the isolates using ERIC-PCR, different plasmid and resistance profiles and several resistance genes were observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gangrene
Gas gangrene is a life-threatening emergency. Most cases are caused by clostridial infections, but nonclostridial causes are being increasingly recognized. Nonclostridial gas gangrene is most often due to polymicrobial organisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Veterinarian
In order to analyze the genetic structure and the phylogenetic relationships between the clusters of the nomenspecies E. cloacae, 206 strains collected from 22 hospitals, a veterinarian, and an agricultural center in 11 countries plus all 13 type strains [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Aspiration
Culture of the abscess material aspirated at the time of surgical drainage showed growth of E. cloacae. He received intravenous imipenem for 18 weeks guided by clinical and radiological response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cultures of aspirated material revealed colonies of E. cloacae. Arrows point to needle biopsy. Six hours later, the patient underwent removal of the graft. [doi.org]

Lacrimation
A 65-year-old man developed canaliculitis first of the left lower and later of the left upper lacrimal canaliculus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) refers to fevers of 101 F that persist for 3 weeks and remain undiagnosed after a focused inpatient or outpatient workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Absence of other signs of graft infection should prompt a thorough workup for other causes. CTA was used to identify the nidus of infection in our patient. [doi.org]
See Workup for more detail. Management Antimicrobial therapy is indicated in virtually all Enterobacter infections. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Kingella
[…] experience with this case indicates that long-term use of a combination of β-lactam and aminoglycosides might represent a suitable management option for future infective endocarditis cases due to non-Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella, Kingella [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eikenella
Our experience with this case indicates that long-term use of a combination of β-lactam and aminoglycosides might represent a suitable management option for future infective endocarditis cases due to non-Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Without the hot water treatment, incidence of internal yellowing may be as high as 43%, depending on the packinghouse and the time of year. [extento.hawaii.edu]
The literature reports limited clinical experience with cefepime for the treatment of central nervous system infections in humans. [doi.org]
The course of infection, the treatment, and the laboratory identification of this organism are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
However, if they received carbapenem therapy, their prognosis was better than that with cefepime therapy (42.9% [3/7] versus 100% [10/10]; P 0.015) ( Fig. 5B ). [aac.asm.org]
Etiology
Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage can complicate severe sepsis in the neonate and is most commonly attributed to meningococcal disease; however, it can be caused by other etiologic agents as well. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

RFLP analysis of total DNA and ribotyping seem particularly well suited to the study of the epidemiology of nosocomial E. cloacae strains. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
This case represents an unusual pathophysiology for the development of an E. cloacae pericardial effusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further work is needed in order to identify the bacterial and host factors specifically involved in the bacterial colonization of the implanted material and in the pathophysiology of these infections. [jcm.asm.org]
Pathophysiology Enterobacter species rarely cause disease in healthy individuals. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
This antagonism could be prevented by inhibition of derepression of beta-lactamase with clindamycin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
