First case of Roussoella percutanea bursitis

M Almagro-Molto et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Roussoella percutanea is a novel opportunistic pathogen firstly identified in 2014. It is known to cause subcutaneous infection in immunosuppressed patients. We report on the first case of R. percutanea bursitis in a renal transplant patient. We provide new data about its identification, drug susceptibility, and treatment outcome. Here we demonstrate that R. percutanea is a potential human pathogen.

Keywords: Bursitis; DNAsequencing; Foreign travel; Roussoella percutanea; Subcutaneous infection; Transplant patient.
