Achromobacter Xylosoxidans subsp Xylosoxidans prosthetic aortic valve infective endocarditis and aortic root abscesses
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008Co-Authors: Damien Stark, Deborah Marriott, J HarknessAbstract:We report a case of prosthetic valve infective endocarditis and aortic root abscesses caused by Achromobacter Xylosoxidans subsp. Xylosoxidans. The patient was an intravenous drug user and had injected amphetamines using ‘duck pond water’ as a diluent. After surgical intervention and 6 weeks of intravenous meropenem therapy, the patient made an uneventful recovery.

Phage therapy against Achromobacter Xylosoxidans lung infection in a patient with cystic fibrosis: a case report
Research in Microbiology, 2018Co-Authors: North Hoyle, P. Zhvaniya, D. Bolkvadze, L. Nadareishvili, D. Nizharadze, Joseph Wittmann, Nana Balarjishvili, Christine Rohde, Mzia KutateladzeAbstract:Respiratory infections can lead to serious complications in CF patients, especially when infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Alternative treatments for these infections are being sought out to help address this problem. We present a clinical case of a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient, with multi-drug resistant (MDR) Achromobacter Xylosoxidans chronic lung infection who was successfully managed with bacteriophage therapy.

recurrent septic arthritis due to Achromobacter Xylosoxidans in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2015Co-Authors: Payal K Patel, Arvind Von Keudell, Philipp Moroder, Paul Appleton, Robin Wigmore, Edward K RodriguezAbstract:We report a case of recurrent Achromobacter Xylosoxidans infections including bacteremia, sepsis, septic joints and endocarditis in a 72 year old female with granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Achromobacter Xylosoxidans is a gram negative bacteria increasingly identified in immunocompromised patients. Surgical and medical therapy may need to be combined.
