| Summary: | Leclercia adecarboxylata is usually isolated as a part of polymicrobial cultures in immunocompetent patients, and as a pure culture
in immunocompromised persons. Although generally sensitive to most antibiotics, there are reports of resistant strains. Two case
reports of L. adecarboxylata isolation in the lab in pure culture in immunocompetent persons are presented here, L. adecarboxylata
being isolated from a vaginal swab in the first case and from a gluteal abscess in the second case. Both the isolates were sensitive
to most of the antibiotics tested. |
