Pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas fluorescens: a case report

BACKGROUND: Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) has been detected in respiratory samples from patients. However, no previous reports have been published about these P. fluorescens cultures from lung tissues. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a case of pneumonia caused by P. fluorescens. P. flu...

description BACKGROUND: Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) has been detected in respiratory samples from patients. However, no previous reports have been published about these P. fluorescens cultures from lung tissues. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a case of pneumonia caused by P. fluorescens. P. fluorescens was identified from lung biopsy specimens for the first time in this case. According to the antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of P. fluorescens, the patient was given ciprofloxacin treatment. The temperature of the patient then returned to normal. Chest CT examination revealed improvements in pulmonary inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the patients with pneumonia caused by P. fluorescens should be treated in a timely manner according to the AST results.
