Sumario:Yokenella regensburgei , belonging to the order Enterobacterales , is a rare and emerging human pathogen reported to cause both superficial and invasive infections. The 13 case reports in the literature worldwide highlight blood, bone and wound infections. To our knowledge this is the first case description of Y. regensburgei causing a urinary tract infection in a 69-year-old immunocompetent patient which was isolated in two separate specimens and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS. It was found to be susceptible to most antimicrobials but resistant to penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefoxitin and colistin. Inducible chromosomal ampC resistance was demonstrated on disc approximation testing, and blaYOC-1 class C beta-lactamase, beta lactamase superfamily and MBL fold metallo-hydrolase genes were found on whole genome sequencing.
