Wound colonization by Ewingella americana

N Bear et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1986 Mar.

Abstract

Ewingella americana was recovered from a wound on the left leg of a 46-year-old male after a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula. Compared with the reported characteristics of 44 American strains, this strain was shown to belong to biogroup 1. The isolation of this bacterium in South Africa confirms its wide geographical distribution in clinical specimens. Colonization was not associated with clinical deterioration.
