Leclercia Adecarboxylata and Pseudomonas Oryzihabitans Infection after Achilles Tendon Repair: A Case Report and Literature Review

Phillip M Savage et al. J Foot Ankle Surg. 2023 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Leclercia adecarboxylata and Pseudomonas oryzihabitans are two bacteria rarely seen in human infections. We present an unusual case of a patient who developed a localized infection with these bacteria after repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon. We also present a review of the literature regarding infection with these bacteria within the lower extremity.

Keywords: foot and ankle, lower extremity, polymicrobial; skin and soft tissue infection.
