Özet:

Hafnia alvei is a gram-negative base found in the human gastrointestinal flora. It was first identified in 1954. It is known that this microorganism, which may be a social or healthcare-related infection factor, has only caused the epidemic once to this day. Also, the number of cases seen with death is quite small. In this study, a 71-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases presented the phenomenon of a community-based urinary tract infection caused by Hafnia alvei. The patient was treated with ciprofloxacin (seven days). Hafnia alvei can be treated with aminoglycosides, kinolone group antibiotics and third-generation sefalosporins. The development of various strategies for informing and increasing awareness of the community and health professionals in order to protect against such microorganisms that are rarely infectious factors can help prevent infections. However, to this, internal diseases, infection control and public health nurses and other health professionals must work as multidisciplinary.
