Abstract: | Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium species have been increasingly recognized as multidrug resistant pathogens that also infect immunocompromised patients. Automated and semi-automated phenotypic tests have been used by clinical laboratories for detection of these gram-positive rods. The present case report describes the rare pediatric case of L. aquatica isolated in central venous catheter blood cultures during chemotherapy treatment for Wilms tumor and adds to the knowledge on this infection with regard to pediatric cancer. The clinical aspects of this patient and opportunities for improving treatment were reviewed. Additionally, a review of the literature revealed no other case report involving cancer and a pediatric patient with documented L. aquatica bacteremia. Corynebacterial infections are considered uncommon, but in recent decades' reports on infection with bacterium are increasing in frequency, particularly in nosocomial immunocompromised patients. |

Infections associated with Leifsonia aquatica are particularly uncommon. We describe a central venous catheter-associated L. aquatica bacteremia in a hemodialysis-dependent patient. A review of the literature revealed only 1 other case report involving 10 hemodialysis patients with documented L. aquatica bacteremia.

References 33 publication s, elucidation of the reinforcing spleen effect of jujube fruits based on metabolomics and intestinal flora analysis.
Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit (JF) is widely consumed as food in Asian countries due to its potential effects for human health. As a traditional Chinese medicine, JF is often used to treat anorexia, fatigue and loose stools caused by spleen deficiency syndromes in China, but the mechanism underlying this effect has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this study, a rat model of spleen deficiency syndromes was adopted to investigate the therapeutic effect of JF extract and its possible mechanism by metabolomics analyses of plasma and urine as well as the intestinal flora analysis. The results showed that the changes in plasma and urine metabolites caused by spleen deficiency were reversed after administration of JF, and these changed endogenous metabolites were mainly involved in retinol metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, nicotinate and niacinamide metabolism pathways. The 16S rDNA sequencing results showed that JF could regulate intestinal flora imbalance caused by spleen deficiency. The covariance analysis of intestinal flora structure and metabolome indicated that Aerococcus may be a candidate strain for predicting and treating the metabolic pathways of spleen deficiency and related disorders. In summary, it can be revealed that spleen deficiency, which alters metabolic profiles and the intestinal flora, could be alleviated effectively by JF extract.

Leifsonia aquatica is an aquatic coryneform rod that is capable of forming biofilms in environmental water sources. It has rarely been associated with human infections and its pathogenicity and clinical significance are uncertain. We describe a case of catheter-related bloodstream infection in a haemodialysis patient. The isolate grew on conventional media as a yellow-pigmented colony, but identification required molecular methods. Although the strain displayed reduced sensitivity to vancomycin, the clinical outcome was favourable after catheter removal and intravenous treatment with this antibiotic. Our report gives further evidence of the capability of this aquatic bacterium to cause human infection.

COMMENTS
A review of the literature revealed a case report involving dialysis patients with documented L. aquatica bacteremia ( 19) Searching the two databases, SCOPUS and MEDLINE. In SCOPUS, 15 articles were retrieved; and 3 were discarded as they were deemed irrelevant based on either the title or the abstract.
Additionally, a review of the literature revealed no other case report involving cancer and a pediatric patient with documented L. aquatica bacteremia. Corynebacterial infections are considered uncommon, but in recent decades' reports on infection with bacterium are increasing in frequency, particularly in nosocomial immunocompromised patients.

The present case report describes the rare pediatric case of L. aquatica isolated in central venous catheter blood cultures during chemotherapy treatment for Wilms tumor and adds to the knowledge on this infection with regard to pediatric cancer. The clinical aspects of this patient and opportunities for improving treatment were reviewed.

Leifsonia aquatica is an aquatic coryneform rod that is capable of forming biofilms in environmental water sources. It has rarely been associated with human infections and its pathogenicity and clinical significance are uncertain. We describe a case of catheter-related bloodstream infection in a haemodialysis patient.

Infections associated with Leifsonia aquatica are particularly uncommon. We describe a central venous catheter-associated L. aquatica bacteremia in a hemodialysis-dependent patient. A review of the literature revealed only 1 other case report involving 10 hemodialysis patients with documented L. aquatica bacteremia.

The first case of an acute septicemia caused by L. aquatica in a healthy immunocompetent host after cryopexy in the absence of a catheter is reported. ABSTRACT Leifsonia aquatica is an aquatic bacterium that is typically found in environmental water habitats. Infections due to L. aquatica are rare and commonly catheter associated in immunocompromised patients. We report the first case of an ...

Mentioning: 1 - Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium species have been increasingly recognized as multidrug resistant pathogens that also infect immunocompromised patients. Automated and semi-automated phenotypic tests have been used by clinical laboratories for detection of these gram-positive rods. The present case report describes the rare pediatric case of L. aquatica isolated in central venous ...

Leifsonia aquatica is an aquatic coryneform rod that is capable of forming biofilms in environmental water sources. It has rarely been associated with human infections and its pathogenicity and clinical significance are uncertain. We describe a case of catheter-related bloodstream infection in a haemodialysis patient. The isolate grew on conventional media as a yellow-pigmented colony, but ...
Case Report: We describe a patient who developed recurrent episodes of CAPD-associated peritonitis with a total of four pathogens: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Leifsonia aquatica, and Gordonia spp. The infection most likely was acquired when the patient used tap water for dialysis during a camping trip.
Leifsonia aquatica is a non-spore-forming Gram-positive rod which is motile. It was first identified by Einar Leifson in 1962 as Corynebacterium aquaticum and subsequently reclassified into genus Leifsonia. Not much is known about this organism's pathogenicity. From case reports over the years, L. aquatica causes infection mainly in an
