Resumen
RAMIREZ-QUINTERO, Juan David y CHAVARRIAGA-RESTREPO, Andrés. Raoultella planticola bacteremia of gastrointestinal origin. Iatreia [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.1, pp.67-71. ISSN 0121-0793. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.iatreia.v30n1a06.
Raoultella planticola, a bacteria found in water and soil, is rarely associated to human disease, mostly bacteremia and gastrointestinal infections. It is usually related with health care procedures or affects patients with malignant biliary disease. If properly treated, this infection is usually benign, but the germ must not be disregarded as an innocent bystander because it has homology with Klebsiella spp., and therefore the potential to acquire antimicrobial resistance mechanisms like bla KPC genes. We report the case of a patient with community-aquired R. planticola bacteremia of gastrointestinal origin.
