Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides as a cause of nosocomial urinary tract infections.

E A Cappelli1, R R Barros, T C Camello, L M Teixeira, V L Merquior.   

Abstract

The phenotypic and genotypic characterization of five clinical isolates of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides associated with nosocomially acquired urinary tract infections is described. All the strains were susceptible to chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, and tetracycline; all were resistant to nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, and vancomycin; and all were intermediately affected by ampicillin and penicillin. Analysis of chromosomal DNA by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis after treatment with SmaI indicated a clonal relationship of the isolates. The results provide evidence for the possibility of nosocomial transmission of this unusual opportunistic, vancomycin-resistant pathogen.
