Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2009 Jul-Sep;52(3):430-1. doi: 10.4103/0377-4929.55017.

Abstract

Enterobacter sakazakii is a rare but important cause of necrotizing enterocolitis, bloodstream infection and central nervous system infections in humans, with mortality rates of 40-80%. It has not been reported to cause urinary tract infection. We report a case of urinary tract infection due to E. sakazakii in a 63-year-old lady with chronic renal failure.
