<scp><i>Pantoea eucrina</i></scp>: Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infection in a Woman With Short Bowel Syndrome

<i>Pantoea eucrina</i>, a member of the Erwiniaceae family, is a rarely reported human pathogen primarily associated with plants. This study presents a documented case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by <i>P. eucrina</i> in a 60-year-old female receiving home parenteral nutrition. Despite presenting with only minor clinical symptoms, blood cultures from both central and peripheral sites confirmed the presence of <i>P. eucrina</i>, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and whole-genome sequencing. The infection was successfully cleared following a 13-day course of gentamicin lock therapy and intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam, after which the catheter was removed.

Abstract

<i>Pantoea eucrina</i>, a member of the Erwiniaceae family, is a rarely reported human pathogen primarily associated with plants. This study presents a documented case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by <i>P. eucrina</i> in a 60-year-old female receiving home parenteral nutrition. Despite presenting with only minor clinical symptoms, blood cultures from both central and peripheral sites confirmed the presence of <i>P. eucrina</i>, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and whole-genome sequencing. The infection was successfully cleared following a 13-day course of gentamicin lock therapy and intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam, after which the catheter was removed.
