摘要
Since the first isolation of Achromobacter xylosoxidans, it has been increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. It is an aerobic Gram-negative bacillus mainly found in aquatic environments. It has been reported to cause nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. This organism has a unique susceptibility to antimicrobials, being resistant to most commonly used cephalosporins and aminoglycosides, with susceptibility to piperacillin/tazobactam and most carbapenems. In this case, we report a case of a 60-year-old female with a history of liver transplantation, who developed nosocomial Achromobacter xylosoxidans bacteremia complicated by septic shock, multi-organ failure, and death.
