| Sumario: | Escherichia vulneris has been reported to be an environmental organism that can colonize and infect wounds in humans and animals. To date, very few human infections with E. vulneris have been reported, and pathogenicity has not always been evident. Clinical significance of E.vulneris has not been established yet, however, it has been reported to be the sole pathogen in some cases of osteomyelitis, urosepsis, and bacteremia. Here we report on a rare case of wound infection caused by this pathogen. |
