الملخص EN

We report a case of posttraumatic skin and soft-tissue infection in a patient with a left thigh wound after a traffic accident.

Pseudomonas fulva was isolated from a wound aspirate and was identified to the species level by Maldi-tof.

The patient responded to drainage, debridement of wound, and two weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy.

Follow-up after 3 weeks was satisfactory with healthy cover of the injured area.
