Bacteriemia asociada a catéter por Cupriavidus pauculus

Cupriavidus pauculus es un bacilo Gram negativo con metabolismo oxidativo, que se ha aislado de muestras de agua y suelo, pero raramente de personas como entidad clinica. En la literatura cientifica existen menos de veinte articulos de reportes de caso de este microorganismo. La mayoria han sido pacientes con algun tipo de inmunosupresion, sometidos a procedimientos invasivos, especialmente de tipo vascular, y que han requerido multiple manejo antibiotico. Cupriavidus pauculus ha mostrado baja virulencia y sensibilidad antibiotica, principalmente a trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol, betalactamicos de amplio espectro y quinolonas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 55 anos con antecedentes de trasplante renal, que ingreso con infeccion de tejidos blandos y a quien se le diagnostico bacteriemia asociada a cateter por C. pauculus durante la hospitalizacion. Cupriavidus pauculus it’s a gram-negative bacillus with an oxidative metabolism that has been isolated in water and soil samples, but rarely in people clinical entities. There are less than 20 articles case-reported about this microorganism. Most of which have been patients with some type of immune impairment, mostly subjects with invasive vascular procedures, who had required multiples antibiotic management. Cupriavidus pauculus has mainly shown a low virulence and antibiotic sensibility to trimethoprim-sulfametoxazol, broad spectrum betalactamics and quinolones. As presented in the case of a 55 year old patient with renal transplantation history admitted with a soft tissue infection and diagnosed with a catheter associated bacteremia by C. pauculus, during hospitalization.
