Abstract EN
Cedecea neteri, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, has only been identified as a human pathogen in a few previous clinical cases, thus complicating assessment of this organism’s pathogenicity and medical relevance.
Documented infections attributed to C.
neteri primarily involved bacteremia in severely immunocompromised patients.
We report a rare case of urinary catheter colonization by a multidrug-resistant C.
neteri strain in a patient of advanced age with benign prostatic hyperplasia and other chronic comorbidities.
This C.
neteri isolate was resistant or intermediate to second-generation cephalosporins, penicillins, and certain β-lactamase inhibitor/β-lactam combinations.
Analysis of whole genome sequence information for a representative C.
neteri strain indicated the presence of multiple open reading frames with sequence similarity to β-lactamases, including a chromosome-encoded AmpC β-lactamase and metallo-β-lactamases, consistent with the resistance phenotype of this bacterium.
The presence of an AmpR homolog suggests that the C.
neteri ampC may be inducible in response to β-lactam exposure.
Molecular insights into antibiotic resistance traits of this emerging opportunistic pathogen will be important for administering adequate antibiotic treatment to ensure favorable patient outcomes.
