A case of pediatric patient with acute enteritis due to CTX-M-l5 extended國spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Salmonella Blockley

摘要

This clinical case report concerns a pediatric patient with acute enteritis caused by multi-drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Blockley {Salmonella Blockley). A 3-year-old boy presented to our emergency room with a 5-day history of fever, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. Stool culture tested positive for a Salmonella species, while the blood culture was negative. The patient was successfully treated with an oral antibiotic regimen of fosfomycin. The stool isolate was found to be resistant to multiple drugs, including cefpodoxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and aztreonam, and was confirmed to be a CTX-M-15 extended-spectrumルlactamase (ESBL)-producing strain of Salmonella Blockley. This is the first report of a pediatric patient in Japan with acute enteritis caused by a CTX-M-15 ESBL-producing strain of Salmonella Blockley.
