Abstract:

C. Testosterone is a gram negative, non-fermenting glucose, oxidase positive, moving basin. It is considered a low-virulent microorganism and rarely causes infection in humans. Survival in difficult nutritional conditions, the ability to acquire resistance genes and virulance factors it contains, makes C. testosterone, especially in patients with predisposing factors, a potential candidate to become a dangerous infectious agent. In this report, we present the phenomenon of the bacteria caused by C. testosterone in a male adult patient.

Abstract:

Comamonas testosteroni is a gram-negative, non-glucose fermenting, oxidase positive, motile bacillus. It is accepted as a low-virulent microorganism and rarely causes infections in humans. Survival at low nutrient conditions, ability to acquire resistance genes and already found virulence factors make C. testosteroni a potential candidate to be a dangerous infectious agent, especially in patients with predisposing factors. We report a rare case of a bacteriemia due to a rarely isolated microorganism, C. testosteroni, in a male adult patient.
